The facility failed to complete an accurate reconciliation of medications for Resident #1 when he was discharged home on 1/31/2026. This failure could place residents at risk for discontinuity of care after being discharged from the facility to their home. Findings include:Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 2/2/2026 showed a [AGE] year old male was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting the left non-dominant side (a medical condition where a patient experiences complete paralysis or weakness on the left side of the body because of a cerebral infarction, commonly known as a stroke, affecting the non-dominant hemisphere of the brain), bipolar disorder (a condition characterized by extreme mood swings including periods of mania and depression), type 2 diabetes mellitus (a chronic disease that is characterized by high levels of sugar in the blood), and cognitive communication deficit (a condition where a person's ability to communicate effectively is compromised by an underlying impairment in mental processes, rather than a primary problem with language or speech). Record review of progress notes showed that Resident#1 was discharged from the facility to his responsible party's home on 1/31/2026. There was a physician order to discharge Resident#1 received by the facility on 1/30/2026 that read, may discharge home with sister POA with scheduled medications no narcotics and all other belongings.

The DON stated that she gathered Resident #1's scheduled medications except his narcotics and gave them to Resident #1's responsible party and they both signed a discharge medication list. She stated she didn't think Resident #1 had insulin prescribed, and if he did, she would have sent home the insulin as well.Interview with LVN A on 2/4/2026 at 1:47 pm (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
