In an interview on 08/06/2025 at 11:29 AM with LVN A she stated she had worked at the facility almost 4 years. She stated that Resident #4 never pressed his call light.

The surveyor advised her to speak to her DON. CNA B stated that Resident #4 used to have hearing aids when he first admitted , the CNA's were responsible for putting them in and taking them out.

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 1 of 2 medication carts reviewed.The facility failed on 07/27/2025 to sufficiently record the accurate reconciliation of controlled substances.This failure could place residents at risk of misappropriation of resident medication.Findings included:Record review on 08/05/2025 at 2:07 PM of the [NAME] wing medication cart's narcotic sign on and sign off sheet revealed that LVN E failed to sign that the narcotics were counted with LVN D when LVN E assumed the medication cart on 7/27/2025, and when she handed off the medication cart at the end of her shift on 7/27/2025 to LVN D.In an interview on 08/05/2025 at 2:30 PM with LVN D she stated that she always signed off with someone when doing the narcotic count. She stated that 2 people always counted the cart, it was required that the person coming on shift and the person going off shift, were to count the cart together and sign that it was done. She stated she passed the cart off to LVN E on 7/27. She stated that immediately after counting they were supposed to sign off on the narcotic sign on and sign off log. She stated that once she finished counting, and signed the narcotic log, she did not stand there to watch the other person sign. She stated the purpose of counting the narcotics was to keep an accurate count of the narcotics and verifying that all medications were accounted for. She stated it helped if there was a medication discrepancy, they would know who worked. She stated a negative outcome was that if medications were not accounted for it was an issue of misappropriation. If she had a discrepancy in count, she had to immediately notify her DON. In an interview on 08/06/2025 at 1:10 PM with LVN E she stated that she had worked at the facility for about 5 years and recently went PRN. She stated that she did always count the cart at the beginning of her shift with the outgoing nurse and then she would count the cart at the end of her shifts with the oncoming nurse. She stated that she did not know why she did not sign the sign off sheet on 07/27/2025 but that it was hers and the facility's practice to not assume the medication cart until counting with the prior shift nurse. She stated that it was the responsibility of both the outgoing nurse and the oncoming nurse to sign the log as proof of the narcotics being counted together. She stated that a negative outcome would be that it could appear that the narcotics were not being counted amongst the shift changes. In an interview on 08/07/2025 at 9:17 AM with the DON she stated the purpose of the narcotic sign on and sign off log was to verify that the narcotic count on the cart was correct. When asked what would blanks on the narcotic log indicate to her, she stated that she would first question if a 2-person count occurred, but ultimately it would tell her if the cart was properly counted by the outgoing and ongoing nurse. She stated that signing the log was for quality control measures, and it could affect the residents' if their medications were not being counted and if doses were missing. She stated it was the responsibility of both nurses to sign the log when handing it off and when assuming it. She stated they (DON or ADON) should verify the logs weekly. She stated that when the sheet ran out of space, it would be turned into and verified by the ADON or DON.Review of the facility's policy titled ‘Controlled Substances' dated July 2025 reflected: Controlled substances are counted upon delivery. The nurse receiving the medication, along with the person delivering the medication, must count the controlled substances together. Both individuals sign the designated controlled substance record.The nurse coming on duty and the nurse going off duty make the count together and document and report any discrepancies to the director of nursing services.

Non-critical items are those that come in contact with intact skin but not mucous membranes.(l) Non-critical resident-care items include bedpans, blood pressure cuffs, crutches, and computers.(2) Non-critical environmental surfaces include bed rails, bedside tables.(3) Non-critical items require cleaning followed by either low- or intermediate-level disinfection following manufacturers' instructions. Disinfection is performed with an EPA-registered disinfectant labeled for use in healthcare settings. All applicable label instructions on EPA registered disinfectant products are followed (e.g., use-dilution, shelf life, storage, material compatibility, safe use, and disposal).a) Low-level disinfection is defined as the destruction of all vegetative bacteria (except tubercle bacilli) and most viruses, some fungi, but not bacterial spores. Examples of low-level disinfectants include EPA- registered hospital disinfectants with a HBV and HIV label claim. Low-level disinfection is generally appropriate for most non-critical equipment.b) Intermediate-level disinfection is traditionally defined as destruction of all vegetative bacteria, including tubercle bacilli, lipid and some nonlipid viruses, and fungi, but not bacterial spores. EPA-registered hospital disinfectants with a tuberculocidal claim are intermediate-level disinfectants. Intermediate-level disinfection is considered for non-critical equipment that is visibly contaminated with blood. However, a low-level disinfectant with a label claim against HBV and HIV may also be used. Event ID: Facility ID: 675311 If continuation sheet Page 9 of 9
