F 0698 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm in PCC for Resident #15 to receive dialysis treatment. The Administrator stated the DON was responsible for ensuring that the residents' orders were placed in their medical records in PCC. The Administrator stated Resident #15 had been going to his dialysis treatment three times each week since being admitted to the facility. The Administrator reported that Resident #15 did not receive any harm due to his physician order for dialysis not being in his medical record in PCC.

The DON stated she had a system, which included a checklist for residents who discharged or admitted /readmitted to the facility. The DON stated the checklist included checking physician orders and ensuring they were entered in PCC for each resident. The DON stated she remembered checking off the tasks on her checklist for Resident #15 when he readmitted to the facility, but she must have gotten side-tracked, or someone must have come into her office while she was completing her checklist for Resident #15 because she did not complete the checklist. The DON stated she told management that she was the reason for the physician's order for dialysis treatment for Resident #15 not being inputted into his medical record in PCC. The DON reiterated that she assumed that when Resident #15 was readmitted to the facility, his physician order would have remained in his medical record. The DON stated she was informed by the Corporate Nurse that when a resident was discharged and went to the hospital, their physician orders would fall off and would need to be re-entered into PCC.

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure its medication error rate was less than 5%. Residents Affected - Few MA B had two medication errors out of 39 opportunities resulting in an error rate of 5.13%. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving the intended therapeutic effects of medications or receiving the wrong medication. Findings included: Observation on 12/06/23 at 8:30 AM revealed MA B administered Hydrocodone 7.5-325 mg orally to Resident #20. Observation on 12/06/23 at 8:49 AM revealed MA B administered Enteric Coated Aspirin 81 mg orally to Resident #24. Review of Resident #20's physician orders revealed an order for Hydrocodone 10-325 mg written on 12/15/22. Review of Resident #20's MAR for November and December revealed he was being provided Hydrocodone 7.5-325 mg Review of Resident #24's physician orders revealed an order for Aspirin 81 mg to be chewed. Interview on 12/06/23 at 11:30 AM with MA B revealed he did not have chewable aspirin on his cart, only enteric coated aspirin. MA B stated he did not know how Resident #20 had hydrocodone 7.5 mg on his cart when the order stated hydrocodone 10 mg. MA B stated he did not know how long Residents #20 and #24 had been receiving the wrong medications. MA B was able to recite the Five Rights of medication administration, and stated he violated the Right Medication portion of the Five Rights. MA B stated the medication aides were responsible for restocking their carts and making sure the right medications were on the cart. Telephone interview on 12/06/23 at 12:15 PM with the Pharmacist revealed in September of 2023 hydrocodone 10-325 mg was on national back order with no date of when it would be available again. A notice was sent out to all physicians to change their hydrocodone 10-325 mg orders to another medication. The Pharmacist stated they received a new prescription from the Doctor for Resident #20 on 9/28/23 for hydrocodone 7.5-325 mg. Resident #20 was sent the new order at that time. The Pharmacist could not say when Resident #20 started taking the lower dose because it would depend on how many of the 10 mg pills he still had. The Pharmacist stated Resident #24 taking enteric coated aspirin versus chewable aspirin was not a medication issue, just an order issue. Both forms would accomplish the intended effect. Enteric coated is designed to pass through the stomach and be absorbed by the mucosa in the intestines. Chewable aspirin was designed to be chewed and absorbed by the mucosa in the mouth. Interview on 12/06/23 at 1:00 PM with Resident #20 revealed his pain control was good, and he had no complaints about his pain medication. Interview on 12/06/23 at 1:30 PM with the DON revealed she was unaware of the change in Resident (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675018 If continuation sheet Page 5 of 13 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 675018 B.

F 0759 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few #20's medication dosage or how that occurred. She stated if the resident had no pain with the lower dosage, then the only issue was why the order had not been changed in the physician orders. The DON stated the physician must have sent a new prescription directly to the pharmacy and failed to change the order when he made rounds at the facility. The DON stated she would address this with the physician immediately. The DON stated she would re-educate MA B on the Five Rights, and ensure he placed chewable aspirin on his cart. The DON stated she would check the other medication carts as well. Review of the facility's Administering Oral Medications policy, revised October 2010, reflected: .6.

F 0761 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately locked, compartments for controlled drugs. Based on observation, interview, and record reveiw, the facility failed to ensure all drugs were stored in locked compartments with access by authorized personnel only for 1 of 4 carts (South Station Nurse Cart) reviewed for storage of drugs and biologicals. RN C failed to secure her medication cart before she stepped away from it. This failure could place residents at risk of accessing medications not prescribed for them. Findings included: Observation on 12/06/23 at 1:10 PM revealed the nurse medication cart for South Hall was unlocked, all drawers were able to be opened by the surveyor. Observation on 12/06/23 at 1:15 PM revealed RN C returned to the nurses' station from another hall. She did not notice her cart was unlocked until made aware by the surveyor. Interview on 12/06/23 at 1:16 PM with RN C revealed she initially stated the cart was unlocked because she was going to medicate a resident. When the surveyor pointed out that the cart had been unlocked while she was away from it and on another hall while residents were sitting in wheelchairs nearby, RN C stated she had stepped away briefly to take a phone call and must have forgotten to lock her cart. RN C stated leaving the cart unlocked posed a risk of a resident gaining access to medications not prescribed for them and possibly having an allergic reaction to the medication. The medication cart contained both over the counter medications as well as prescription medications. Controlled substances were not available due to them being secured in a locked cabinet inside the cart. Review of the facility's Storage of Medications policy, revised November 2020, reflected: .6. Compartments (including, but not limited to, drawers, cabinets, rooms, refrigerators, carts, and boxes) containing drugs and biologicals are locked when not in use.
