Review of the facility provided investigation report, dated 10/29/2024, reflected on 10/21/2024, visiting
hospice nurse, RN L, notified facility staff Resident #10's Oxycodone blister pack and the narcotic count
sheet for the medication were missing. RN L reported the blister pack and the count sheet had been in the
cart the week prior when she visited the facility. The facility DON began an investigation. The report notes
Resident #10's Oxycodone were not located; the facility began drug testing the nursing staff who had
access to the cart in which the drug had been located. Overnight nurse, RN M, was the final nurse needing
to be drug tested. The other three nurses who had access to the cart had tested negative for the presence
of oxycodone. RN M was scheduled to be tested prior to her shift; the DON arranged for LVN O to be
available to work if the drug test results were positive for RN M. LVN O mentioned to the DON that a similar
situation had occurred at a sister facility. LVN O stated RN M had worked at the sister facility and was
suspected of being the one to take the narcotics missing. LVN O described that the blister packs containing
narcotics had been slit in the back and replaced with a similar looking non-narcotic pill and put back in the
cart. The report noted RN M was suspended pending the investigation. All medication cart blister packs
were inspected for alterations. The facility discovered the Residents #11, #12, #13, #14 and #15 had
hydrocodone blister packs containing methocarbamol (a non-narcotic muscle relaxant) in place of
hydrocodone pills.

she had been notified by LVN N that Hospice nurse, RN L, was at the facility and had reported she was
unable to find Resident #10's PRN Oxycodone or the count sheet. The DON stated it was initially believed
that the Oxycodone had been placed in a different cart than the PRN cart. She stated Resident #10 also
had a blister pack of scheduled Oxycodone which she received as scheduled daily twice a day, in the
schedule medications cart and was not missing. On 10/22/2024 all carts were checked, and the medication
was not found. The DON stated she then started the drug testing of all nurses that had access to the PRN
cart and discovered from LVN O that RN M had a history of working at a sister facility where narcotic
medications had also been stolen. LVN O had described that narcotic blister packs had been tampered with
and replace with a medication that looked similar. The DON stated that after the drug test, which was
negative for narcotics, RN M was suspended. A search of all narcotics in all medication carts with a focus
on whether the foil backing on the blister packs had been tampered with and if the pills were as labeled on
the packs. The DON stated the additional missing narcotics were then found, the count sheets
corresponding to the medication remained. The DON stated it had not been easy to detect the tampering as
the foil was cut along the edge of the bubble and the medication was substituted with methocarbamol which
looks the same other than the pill imprint. The DON stated since the RN M's urine tested negative, and the
tampering was so hard to detect she wonders if it was being done to resale the narcotics on the street, but
she does not have evidence of this theory . The DON stated since the misappropriation occurred, she had
implemented a process in which she or an ADON were notified daily by the pharmacy of the facility narcotic
reconciliation report and one of them has checked all carts daily and will continue to do so.
During an interview on 01/18/2025 at 12:58pm with hospice RN L revealed each hospice nurse when they
visit a facility is required to do a narcotic count. She had been visiting Resident #10, so she was counting
the residents' narcotics. RN L stated she had been unable to locate Resident #10's PRN Oxycodone blister
pack and the corresponding count sheet. She stated the previous hospice nurse that visited on 10/17/2024
had documented there was 29 tablets left in a blister pack and the count sheet had the correct count. RN L
stated she notified the facility nurse who was working at the time, and she had also looked for the blister
pack. When it was not found the facility DON was notified by the facility nurse and she had called her
hospice supervisor to notify of the missing drug. RN L stated she had never experienced missing
medications at the facility prior to this so she assumed the blister pack had been misplaced.
During an interview on 01/18/2025 at 3:25pm with LVN O revealed she had worked at another facility
owned by the same company. She stated she knew RN M had also worked at the facility as an agency
nurse. She had not known her well but when she was called in to work and RN M came in, she had
recognized her. LVN O stated the sister facility had not known for certain that missing drugs were caused by
RN M, but they had requested she not be sent back to the facility from the Agency.
During an interview on 01/22/2025 at 12:21pm with the facility MD revealed he had been notified of the
missing medication for Resident #10 then again notified of the other residents possibly having received a
muscle relaxant in place of the narcotic ordered. The MD stated assessments were completed on all
residents involved that as with any medication there can be adverse reactions and or side effects, none
were found.
Review of the facility's policy Identifying Exploitation, Theft and Misappropriation of Resident Property,
dated 4/2021, revealed misappropriation of resident property meant the deliberate misplacement,
exploitation or wrongful, temporary or permanent use of a resident's belongings or money without the
resident's consent. According to the document, an example of misappropriation of property included, drug
diversion (taking the resident's medication ).

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure the resident environment remained as free of
accident hazards as is possible for 1 (Resident #8) of 15 residents reviewed for accidents and hazards.
The facility failed to ensure CNA G performed appropriate incontinent care on Resident #8 when she asked
her to hold onto the bed, which subsequently led to Resident #8 losing grip of the bed, falling to the ground,
and sustaining a skin tear to her right forearm and bump to the left side of her forehead.
This deficient practice could place residents at risk of injuries.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #8's admission record, dated 01/22/25, reflected she was a [AGE] year-old female who
was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #8 had diagnoses including
unspecified Parkinsonism (a general term for a group of neurological disorders that affect movement),
unspecified fall, unspecified pain, age-related physical debility (a symptom of frailty, which is a syndrome of
physiological decline that occurs with aging), unspecified obesity, generalized anxiety disorder, major
depressive disorder, pain in unspecified joint, carpal tunnel syndrome (a common condition that occurs
when the median nerve in the wrist is compressed) in bilateral upper limbs, acute (a sudden, sharp pain
caused by a tumor (neoplasm) that comes on quickly and lasts for a short period of time) and chronic (a
persistent, ongoing pain associated with a tumor that can last for months or even years, often with varying
levels of intensity and may be present even when not actively treated) neoplasm related pain, and
encounter for palliative care.
Review of Resident #8's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 08/08/24, reflected she had a BIMS score of 12
out of 15, which indicated she had moderate cognitive impairment. Resident #8 had no falls since
admission. Resident #1 was dependent on toileting and required substantial/maximal assistance with bed
mobility.
Review of Resident #8's care plan, dated 09/17/24, reflected she was at risk for falls. Resident #8 also had
an ADL self-care performance deficit and had right-handed resting hand splints, but she chose digit
aluminum splints during the day. Staff were required to provide Resident #8 with total assistance to turn and
reposition in bed and for toileting. Resident #8's speech was unclear at times and staff were required to
allow adequate time for her to respond, repeat as necessary, to not rush her, and request clarification to
ensure understanding.
Review of Resident #8's admission fall risk evaluation, dated 10/13/24, reflected she was at high risk for
falls, had no falls in the past three months, was independent and continent, was confined to chair in mobility
status, not able to attempt testing without physical help for mobility, had 1-2 present risk factors/health
conditions, and took 1-2 high risk medications at the time and/or within last seven days.

halos to assist with bed mobility, interviewed her to determine comfortability with 1 person vs 2-person bed
mobility/incontinent care, updated care plan accordingly, and audited care plans to ensure [NAME]
accurately reflected appropriate care level for bed mobility/incontinent care. The facility did not find evidence
to support the neglect allegation. Resident #8 was care-planned as a 1-person incontinent care service.
Resident #8 felt comfortable with CNA G up until the incident occurred including several other brief changes
throughout the same shift. Resident #8 experienced a fall while CNA G was providing incontinent care.

without contrast findings were no acute fracture and mild degenerative anterolisthesis of C3 on C4 (the
third cervical vertebra (C3) has slightly slipped forward onto the fourth cervical vertebra (C4) due to
age-related wear and tear on the spine).
Review of Resident #8's ED provider notes, dated 11/04/24 at 9:49 a.m., reflected on Resident #8

femur. Resident #8 was alert and oriented x4, had Parkinson's disease at normal baseline, had a left-sided
hematoma on her left femur, bruising to her left forehead, and a small skin tear on her right forearm.
An attempt to interview Resident #8 was made on 01/17/25 at 11:10 a.m. Resident #8 was difficult to
understand when asking open ended questions about the incident, despite the surveyor asking her several
different ways. Resident #8 was able to answer close ended questions. Resident #8 replied, No. She was let
go, when asked if CNA G still worked with her. Resident #8 replied, No, when asked if she had any other
falls after the incident on 11/04/24. Resident #8 replied, No, when asked if the staff continued to perform
incontinent care in the manner CNA G did after the incident. Resident #8 replied, Yes, when asked if she felt
safe .

Purpose: The purposes of this procedure are to provide cleanliness and comfort to the resident, to prevent
infections and skin irritation, and to observe the resident's skin condition.
Preparation: 1. Review the resident's care plan to assess for any special needs of the resident.
There was nothing in the policy about whether a staff member could ask the resident to hold onto the bed

Review of the facility's Falls and Fall Risk Managing policy, revised April 2022, reflected the following:
Policy Statement: Based on previous evaluations and current data, the staff will identify interventions
related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to try to
minimize complications from falling.
Definition: According to the MDS, a fall is defined as: Unintentionally coming to rest on the ground, floor, or
other lower level, but not as a result of an overwhelming external force (e.g., a resident pushes another
resident). An episode where a resident lost his/her balance and would have fallen, if not for another person
or if he or she had not caught him/herself, is considered a fall. A fall without injury is still a fall. Unless there
is evidence suggesting otherwise, when a resident is found on the floor, a fall is considered to have
occurred.
Fall Risk Factors:
2. Resident conditions that may contribute to the risk of falls include:
c. delirium and other cognitive impairment;
d. pain;
e. lower extremity weakness;
f. poor grip strength;
i. functional impairments;
k. incontinence
3. Medical factors that contribute to the risk of falls include:
e. balance and gait disorders; etc.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services (including procedures that
assure the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and administering of all drugs and biologicals) to
meet the needs of each resident for 7 of 9 (Resident #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, and #16) residents
reviewed.
A.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #16 received Rifaximin (an antibiotic used to prevent hepatic
encephalopathy). Ten doses of the medication were missed during the 34 days stay at the facility.
B.
The facility failed to prevent the misappropriation of Resident #10's Oxycodone (a schedule II controlled
opioid medication used to treat moderate to severe pain) taken during the days of 10/17/24 through
10/21/24, and Residents #11, #12, #13, #14 and #15's hydrocodone/APAP tablets (a schedule II controlled
opioid medication used to treat pain) taken on unknown dates.
This deficient practice could place residents at risk for adverse effects by not receiving the therapeutic
effects of the medication.
Findings included:
A.
Review of Resident #16's admission record, undated, reflected a [AGE] year-old male, who was admitted to
the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included encephalopathy (loss of brain function when a damaged liver

Review of Resident #16's MAR for January 2025 reflected Rifaximin was not administered on 1/04/2025
and 1/08/2025 the MAR notes OT on all four doses. On 01/13/2025 the evening dose is initialed OT which
according to the Chart Codes means Other/See Nurses Notes. On 01/14/2025 the morning dose initial area
is blank with no code; the evening dose contains a H meaning on hold.
Review of Resident #16's Nurses Progress Note revealed on 1/04/2025 and 01/08/2025 there was no
documentation indicating a reason the Rifaximin was not given. On 1/13/2025 the Rifaximin was not given
due to being on order. On 01/15/2025 Resident #16 was noted to have been discharged home.
During an interview on 01/18/2025 at 1:54 pm MA Q explained that writing OT on the MAR indicated that
the medication was not given and the reason would be documented in the progress notes. MA Q stated she
had intended to write the cause in the progress notes but had missed doing so on some days. MA Q stated
there had been a problem with the pharmacy only sending 3 or 4 doses each time causing them to run out
of the Rifaximin.
During an interview on 01/18/2025 at 3:42pm with the facility DON revealed she was not aware of all the
missed doses of Resident #16's Rifaximin. The DON stated MA Q should have notified her that the
pharmacy was not sending enough to prevent running out of Rifaximin. The DON stated the notes written in
progress notes each day were automatically transferred over to the 24-hour report which was reviewed by
her or an ADON at the beginning of each day. If an issue needed to be addressed they would follow up. If
the MA does not tell her personally or failed to write the issue in the progress notes she had no way of
knowing. The DON stated the outcome of a resident not getting their Rifaximin could be and increase in
ammonia levels which for a person with liver disease can be toxic.
During an interview on 01/22/2025 at 12:21pm with the facility MD revealed he was uncertain if he had
been notified of Resident #16's missed doses of Rifaximin but thinks he probably had been. He stated there
was no substitution he could prescribe for Rifaximin. The MD explained the purpose of the antibiotic was to
treat bacteria that builds up in the gut. The MD stated it was frequently common that Rifaximin can be
scarce and difficult to obtain from pharmacies. An occasional missed dose would probably not affect the
resident but too many missed doses can cause hepatic encephalopathy.
B.1. Review of Resident #10's admission record, undated, reflected a [AGE] year-old female, who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included chronic kidney disease, stage 5 (kidney failure),
congestive heart failure (heart cannot pump an adequate amount of blood for circulation), femur fracture
(broken thighbone) and pain unspecified (uncertain cause)
Review of Resident #10's Annual MDS assessment, dated 11/20/2024, reflected based on Section C:
Cognitive Patterns, the resident had a BIMs score of 12 which indicated moderate cognitive impairment.
Review of Resident #10's care plan reflected a focused area, revised on 1/16/2024, of generalized pain
related to a femur fracture. The goal was that the resident would not have an interruption in normal activities
due to pain through the review date. The interventions included administer medications as ordered.
Review of Resident #10's Order Summary Report, viewed on 1/17/2025, reflected the resident was ordered
1 oxycodone tablet, 5mg by mouth every 8 hours PRN for pain; Ordered 12/7/2023.
Review of Resident #10's MAR for October reflected a PRN oxycodone tablet was not requested during the
month.

RN M. LVN O mentioned to the DON that a similar situation had occurred at a sister facility. LVN O stated
RN M had worked at the sister facility and was suspected of being the one to take the narcotics missing.
LVN O described that the blister packs containing narcotics had been slit in the back and replaced with a
similar looking non-narcotic pill and put back in the cart. The report noted RN M was suspended pending
the investigation. All medication cart blister packs were inspected for alterations. The facility discovered the
Residents #11, #12, #13, #14 and #15 had hydrocodone blister packs containing methocarbamol (a
non-narcotic muscle relaxant) in place of hydrocodone pills.
Review of the facility RN M's personnel revealed she was hired on 08/12/2024 and her employment was
terminated on 10/25/2024. RN M had received training on Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation on 9/13/2024.
RN M's file contained a current RN nursing license with an expiration date of 9/30/2026.
During an interview on 01/17/2025 at 12:21pm and 1/18/2025 at 3:42pm with the facility DON revealed she
had been notified by LVN N that Hospice nurse, RN L, was at the facility and had reported she was unable
to find Resident #10's PRN Oxycodone or the count sheet. The DON stated it was initially believed that the
Oxycodone had been placed in a different cart than the PRN cart. She stated Resident #10 also had a
blister pack of scheduled Oxycodone which she received as scheduled daily twice a day, in the schedule
medications cart and was not missing. On 10/22/2024 all carts were checked, and the medication was not
found. The DON stated she then started the drug testing of all nurses that had access to the PRN cart and
discovered from LVN O that RN M had a history of working at a sister facility where narcotic medications
had also been stolen. LVN O had described that narcotic blister packs had been tampered with and replace
with a medication that looked similar. The DON stated that after the drug test, which was negative for
narcotics, RN M was suspended. A search of all narcotics in all medication carts with a focus on whether
the foil backing on the blister packs had been tampered with and if the pills were as labeled on the packs.
The DON stated the additional missing narcotic were then found, the count sheets corresponding to the
medication remained. The DON stated it had not been easy to detect the tampering as the foil was cut
along the edge of the bubble and the medication was substituted with methocarbamol which looks the
same other than the pill imprint. The DON stated since the RN M's urine tested negative, and the tampering
was so hard to detect she wonders if it was being done to resale the narcotics on the street, but she does
not have evidence of this theory . The DON stated since the misappropriation occurred, she had
implemented a process in which she or an ADON were notified daily by the pharmacy of the facility narcotic
reconciliation report and one of them has checked all carts daily and will continue to do so.
During an interview on 01/18/2025 at 12:58pm with hospice RN L revealed each hospice nurse when they
visit a facility is required to do a narcotic count. She had been visiting Resident #10, so she was counting
the residents' narcotics. RN L stated she had been unable to locate Resident #10's PRN Oxycodone blister
pack and the corresponding count sheet. She stated the previous hospice nurse that visited on 10/17/2024
had documented there was 29 tablets left in a blister pack and the count sheet had the correct count. RN L
stated she notified the facility nurse who was working at the time, and she had also looked for the blister
pack. When it was not found the facility DON was notified by the facility nurse and she had called her
hospice supervisor to notify of the missing drug. RN L stated she had never experienced missing
medications at the facility prior to this so she assumed the blister pack had been misplaced.
During an interview on 01/18/2025 at 3:25pm with LVN O revealed she had worked at another facility
owned by the same company. She stated she knew RN M had also worked at the facility as an agency
nurse. She had not known her well but when she was called in to work and RN M came in she had
recognized her. LVN O stated the sister facility had not known for certain that missing drugs were caused by
