and Paroxetine 30mg daily for Resident #3 on 10/09/2024. She said she pulled the medications from the
cart for destruction but failed to indicate on the MAR the medication was discontinued. She said that
Resident #3 no longer received the discontinued medications effective 10/09/2024. She said she was the
nurse that sent Resident #3 to the hospital on [DATE] and she should have flagged her MAR indicating

During an observation on 12/11/24 at 3:55 p.m., the bathroom emergency call light was activated by this
surveyor in occupied room [ROOM NUMBER] for Resident #7.
Residents Affected - Some
During an observation on 12/11/24 at 4:05 p.m., CNA L and CNA Q went to room [ROOM NUMBER] and
checked on Resident #7 and deactivated the bathroom call light. They left the hallway without deactivating
the bathroom call light in the unoccupied room. The MDS Nurse went into room [ROOM NUMBER] and
deactivated the call light.
During a phone interview on 12/11/24 at 4:11 p.m., the Corporate Maintenance Man said he came to the
facility every 2-3 weeks, and he was responsible for training the local maintenance man. He said he kept no
logs of facility needs or what he did when he was in the facility, but he would be at the facility in the next two
weeks to correct any outstanding facility environmental needs.
During an observation on 12/11/24 at 4:15 p.m., the Maintenance Man replaced the bulb in the call light
above the doorway of unoccupied room [ROOM NUMBER].
During an observation on 12/11/24 at 4:20 p.m., of the 100/300 nurses' station there was no alarm or light
for monitoring the call system for the residents on the 400 hallway. The audible alarm on 400 hall was not
heard at the 100/300 nurses' station after activation by this surveyor but was activated and audible at the
400/500 nurses' station.
During an interview on 12/11/24 at 4:25 p.m., LVN O said she had worked at the facility for 2 months and
was assigned the 100 hallway and right side of 400 hallway. LVN O said the call light monitoring station for
hallway 400 was located at the unoccupied nurse's station. Monitoring of 400 hallway was completed by
random visual checks of the call lights above the doorways. She said the staff were unable to hear the
audible alarm sounding at the 400/500 nurses' station. She said the nurses' aides would sit near the
hallway between rounds so they could see the 400 hallway lights above the doors' indicating assistance
was needed. She said the risk to the resident was not knowing the call light had been activated and the
resident would have to wait for longer periods of time for assistance.
During an interview on 12/11/24 at 4:29 p.m., RN P said he has worked at the facility since October 2024.
He said he sometimes served as the weekend RN, and he was not aware that the call light for the residents
on the 400 hallway were not audible at the 100/300 station. He said he rounded regularly, and the nurse
aides took turns keeping hall 400 in eyesight between rounds. He said the risk to the residents was injury if
