Record review of Resident #1 care plan, dated 1/16/2025, revealed Resident #1 had risk for pain related to left below Knee Amputation. Resident #1 BIMS was 14.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During a phone interview on 4/24/2025 at 2:54 p.m., LVN A revealed Resident #1 did not have a filled prescription for Acetaminophen-Codeine Tablet 300-30 MG. She also stated the resident had an active order for this medication as of 1/18/2025 and she was unsure why it had not been filled. LVN A said that the morning nurse had called the physician assistant asking for a refill. LVN A said she got a Tylenol 500mg and gave it to Resident #1. LVN said she went back to reassess Resident #1 and he was sleeping. LVN A said she signed off on the medication record the Acetaminophen-Codeine Tablet 300-30 MG by mistake. LVN A said she forgot to add the order for Tylenol 500mg to Resident #1's electronic medical record. LVN A explained she was very familiar with the resident. LVN A said she had a standing order from the physician for Tylenol 500mg but forgot to add it and signed off on the electronic medication administration chart of Resident #1. LVN A said she did not had access to the cubex (emergency medication supply system) and she did not inform anyone that Resident #1 was out of the Acetaminophen-Codeine Tablet 300-30 MG. LVN A said that she was supposed to call the DON or ADON. During an interview on 4/24/25 at 3:40 p.m., the physician assistant said he was familiar with Resident #1's chronic pain. The Physician assistant first stated Resident #1's pain was 9 out of 10 on the scale of 1 to 10, would not have subsided with one acetaminophen 500 milligram tablet, after further discussion he said he was not sure if it would have been enough because Resident #1 regularly complained of pain without signs of distress. During a phone interview on 4/24/25 at 4:00 p.m., the pharmacist stated the facility received a new Tylenol #3 blister pack for Resident #1 on 2/9/25 at 12:00 p.m. The Pharmacist said he received a call from the Physician Assistant for a refill on Acetaminophen-Codeine Tablet 300-30 MG.

RN B said on 2/5/25 he called the physician assistant and told him Resident #1 was running low on the Acetaminophen-Codeine Tablet 300-30 MG. RN B said all nurses knew there was medication available on the cubex for an emergency. RN B said the blister packs had a blue line and when the medication was low to that blue line, that meant it was time to reorder the medication from the pharmacy. During an interview on 4/28/2025 at 11:30 a.m., the DON said she was not aware about this incident with Resident #1 until 2/10/25 when Resident #1 filed a grievance. The DON said an investigation was initiated. The DON said nurses were trained on how to access the medications from the cubex and nurses knew to contact her or the ADON if the medication was not available on the cubex. The DON said the Physician assistant or the doctor had to call the pharmacy for the refill because this medication was a controlled medication, and the pharmacy needed a prescription for it. The DON said nurses did not know when the doctor was going to call the pharmacy, but she knew RN B called the physician assistant to informed him the resident was running low on the medication. The DON said the Acetaminophen-Codeine Tablet 300-30 MG was received at the facility on 2/9/25. The DON stated it was the facility's responsibility to ensure the resident had all of her ordered medications at the facility once the resident was transferred to long term care. The DON said when she spoke to the resident he was very upset because he felt LVN A lied about the medication he received. During an interview on 4/28/2025 at 12:00 p.m., the Administrator said Resident #1 spoke to her to file a grievance on 2/10/25. The Administrator said she started an investigation and spoke to LVN A and asked her what had happened, the Administrator said LVN A said to her she gave Resident #1 a Tylenol 500mg instead of Acetaminophen-Codeine Tablet 300-30 MG, because LVN A did not want for (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675363 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 6 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 675363 B.
