Observation and interview with Resident #88 on [DATE] at 9:16 am in his room, during medication administration pass with MA A. Resident #88 was awake, alert, and oriented to person, place, and time. He was sitting upright in bed and was appropriately dressed in a tee shirt and pajama bottoms and appeared clean and groomed. Resident #88 said he had no care concerns at that time, and consented to the observation of his medication administration to be performed by MA A. MA A was observed obtaining Resident #88's BP and HR, which he reported to surveyor as: BP=161/70 and HR=66. MA A stated, his blood pressure is a little high today. MA A did not say what Resident #88's regular BP readings were, and surveyor was able to view Resident #88's blood pressures in the EMR. MA A said that Resident #88 took BP medications that had parameters (specific instructions or measurable factors that guide the proper and safe administration of medications). Observed MA A remove multiple blister packets of medication from the MA cart he was using and proceeded to read his computer screen and place pills in a 30 ml clear plastic cup, passing the blister packet to surveyor after each pill was added to the cup. MA A passed surveyor a blister packet numbered 1-60 that read in part: Resident #88 .Pharmacy A. Losartan/POT TAB 25 MG. Give 1/2 tablet by mouth daily.

MA A proceeded to Resident #88's bedside with the small clear 30 ml plastic medication cup of pills and handed them to Resident #88 with one hand and handed Resident #88 a 6-8 oz clear plastic cup that contained a water mixture (mixed with a different dissolvable medication), with the other and said to Resident #88 that these were his morning medications and began naming some of the pills and what they were for. Resident #88 took all of the pills inside the 30 ml clear cup and drank all of the 6 oz water mixture and expressed no issues or concerns at that (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675999 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 11 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 675999 B.

F 0760 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some time. Follow-up interview and observation with MA A on [DATE] at 11:58 am regarding Resident #88's Losartan and review of blister packet revealed there were two 1/2 tablets out of 60 left in the blister packet. MA A said he realized after the medication administration pass with Resident #88 in the morning, that the order for his Losartan was incorrect and needed to be changed. MA A said he had not noticed the change in Resident #88's Losartan dose from 25mg, 1/2 tablet PO daily to 100mg, 1 tablet PO daily and thought he had been administering the correct medication and correct dosage. MA A said he let Resident #88's charge nurse know about the discrepancy and that Resident #88's order for Losartan needed to be clarified because Losartan/POT TAB 25 MG. Give 1/2 tablet by mouth daily. Hold for SBP <110 or HR <60, was the only Losartan blister pack and only Losartan medication on the medication aide cart for Resident #88. MA A said that LVN A was notified around 9:30 am about Resident #88 receiving the incorrect dose of medication and reviewed Resident #88's medications with LVN A at that time. MA A said LVN A told him she would notify Resident #88's physician and get a clarification of Resident #88's Losartan order. MA A said that a resident could potentially have low blood pressure if they did not receive enough medication or if they received an incorrect dose of medication and that he had been trained on the 6 rights of medication administration., he just did not recognize it was the wrong dose. Interview and observation with LVN A on [DATE] at 12:00pm LVN A said MA A just told her earlier today around 10:00 am about the error in Resident #88's Losartan and she advised MA A at that time she would contact Resident #88's physician to clarify or change the order. When asked if she had already reached out Resident #88's physician about the error and order, as it was already lunchtime, LVN A said she would do it now. LVN A pulled up Resident #88's EMR on her computer screen on her nurse' cart and read the order for Losartan as Losartan Potassium Tablet 100 MG Give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for hypertension hold if bp <110/60, pulse <60. LVN A said she did not see any blister pack or any other medication or pill bottle for Resident #88's Losartan Potassium Tablet 100 MG Give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for hypertension hold if bp <110/60, pulse <60. LVN A said the only blister pack she saw was for Resident #88's resident's Losartan/POT TAB 25 MG. Give 1/2 tablet by mouth daily. Hold for SBP <110 or HR<60 and the MA's gave Resident #88 his daily blood pressure medications because the MAs gave the facility residents their scheduled medications. LVN A said she did not know what MA A had documented. LVN A said she was unsure who was responsible for verifying a residents physician order and usually it was the nurse who received the order from the physician. LVN A said she was unaware of who was responsible for monthly medication reconciliation at the facility and that she had been trained on the 6 Rights of Medication Administration. LVN A said a residents' blood pressure could bottom out or a resident could become dizzy or unresponsive if they were given the incorrect dose of blood pressure medication. Interview and observation with DON on [DATE] at 12:09 pm the DON said she first found out about the order discrepancy in Resident #88's Losartan order from her staff, LVN A and MA A. The DON confirmed that Resident #88's blister pack of Losartan revealed two (1/2) tablets left in blister pack that read Losartan Pot Tab 25 MG Give 1/2/Tablet by mouth Daily Hold for SBP<110 OR HR <60.

The DON said the Medical Director would reevaluate and assess Resident #88, since he was in the building. The DON said the Pharmacy Consultant was the person responsible for reconciliation of all facility resident medications.

F 0760 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some resident medication reconciliations. The DON said that there was no in-house staff member in the facility, who was responsible for completing the monthly medication reconciliation reviews. The DON said that staff had been trained on the 6 rights of medication administration. The DON said she was still investigating and educating/reeducating staff. The DON said a resident could have increased blood pressure, or their blood pressure could not be controlled properly if they did not receive the correct dose of blood pressure medication. Interview with the Medical Director on [DATE] at 12:33 pm who was also the attending MD for Resident #88 said he had been notified by LVN A and MA A, a short while ago regarding Resident #88's Losartan order being incorrect. He said he had reviewed the residents file and found hospital records from an [DATE] hospitalization and readmission and said it looked like the Losartan medication dosage changed in [DATE] after Resident #88's readmission. The Medical Director said he was on his way to evaluate Resident #88 and further assess the situation. The DON was present and said she would be completing a facility medication error report, audit of at least Resident #88's orders and staff education/reeducation and would provide copies to surveyor once completed. In a follow-up interview with the Medical Director/MD for Resident #88, on [DATE] at 1:54 pm, he was notified by surveyor that upon continued record review, of Resident #88's CMA MARS from [DATE], through [DATE], and physician Order Summary Reports from [DATE], through [DATE], revealed Resident #88 had possibly received the incorrect dose of Losartan since [DATE]. The Medical Director said without actual medication packs and observations of the incorrect dose of Losartan being given to Resident #88 it would be difficult to definitively say the resident received the incorrect dose for the entire time. When asked if he considered that length of time to be a significant error, he said that sometimes Resident #88 had really good blood pressures and sometimes they were not good. He said he believed Resident #88 was stable, despite the error and was also taking Hydralazine (a medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure) if his blood pressure was up. The Medical Director also said he had requested a nephrology (branch of medicine that deals with the kidneys) consult for Resident #88 to ensure his kidneys were functioning ok and that Resident #88's laboratory test results so far were ok for the resident's kidney function. When asked who reconciled the medications for the facility monthly, he stated, as the Medical Director, I should have an answer for that, but I don't. The Medical Director said I should be reconciling the medications monthly, but to be honest, I usually just sign the orders. The Medical Director said he tried to make adjustments when he noticed changes or saw changes in medication orders but said he was not sure who at the facility actually completed the monthly medication reconciliation process, but they would be discussing and reviewing it. The Medical Director confirmed today ([DATE]) was the first day he was notified of the incorrect dose of Resident #88's Losartan and said the medication error was one of the good things to come out of the survey process, , was catching things that had been missed that would ultimately improve resident outcomes and thanked surveyor stating, good catch. The Medical Director said he had already reassessed Resident #88 and based on his blood pressure at that time, ordered a one-time does of Losartan. The Medical Director repeated that Resident #88 was stable, and he would be meeting with the administrative team at the facility to discuss, review and improve the medication reconciliation process. He said he had reviewed Resident #88's orders and found no other errors or discrepancies. Record review on [DATE] at 1:56 pm of copy of handwritten Medication Order for Resident #88 dated 8/19.Give Losartan 75 mg PO X 1 now. The order was signed by the Medical Director and there was no time or year indicated on the order. Interview with MA A on [DATE] at 1:57 pm MA A said he did not know why he documented that he had given Losartan 100 mg 1 tab PO daily instead of Losartan 25 MG 1/2 tab PO daily.

F 0760 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some really looked at the blister pack until after the medication administration pass with the surveyor that morning and had a chance to review it. MA A said he should not have documented incorrectly because there was no Losartan 100 mg on the cart for Resident #88 as ordered and he had given the Losartan 25 mg 1/2 tab instead. MA A said he was not sure how long he had incorrectly documented on Resident #88's MAR but corrected it today as soon as he recognized his error, by reporting it to LVN A who was Resident #88's charge nurse. MA A said he was unsure how long he had been giving Resident #88 Losartan 25 MG 1/2 tab PO, but said it was the only blister pack of Losartan on the cart for Resident #88. Telephone interview with Pharmacy Consultant on [DATE] at 3:00pm said she was unaware of Resident #88's incorrect dose of Losartan. They said they had been the Pharmacy Consultant for about 6-7 years and conducted monthly consultations that included reconciliation of medications. They then said they did not conduct full MAR to MD order to cart type of medication reconciliations. The Pharmacy Consultant said they reconciled the orders at the facility. The Pharmacy Consultant said they did not understand how Resident #88''s Losartan 25 mg 1/2 tab to = 12.5 mg by mouth daily was still being delivered and said Pharmacy A should have the correct medication prescription and wondered aloud, how the incorrect medication dose continued to be delivered, stating, Why would Pharmacy A keep delivering the wrong medication?. When asked if they thought that Resident #88 potentially receiving the incorrect dose of Losartan since [DATE], the Pharmacy Consultant said Resident #88 's blood pressures looked good and had often had the medication held per parameters, so perhaps the Medical Director should look at the 100 mg dose because Resident #88 was being maintained on the lower 25 mg (1/2tab dose) per her own simultaneous, EMR record review. The Pharmacy Consultant said today was the first day they became aware of Resident #88's Losartan discrepancy and incorrect dose and said they did not remember doing a medication administration pass on Resident #88 but had done Medication pass/MAR to cart reviews in the past and facility staff had performed well. The Pharmacy Consultant said a possible outcome to the resident could be increased blood pressures if they did not receive the correct dose of medication. The Pharmacy Consultant stated, I really do not have an answer for how that happened and would be speaking with the facility about the incident. Record review of facility pharmacy review binder on [DATE] at 3:06pm for [DATE] through [DATE] revealed there were monthly pharmacy reviews conducted by Pharmacy Consultant, but there were no letters of recommendations or changes in medication reviews or orders for Resident #88. In a follow up interview with the DON on [DATE] at 3:12 pm she said the facility used Pharmacy A, but they were not fully integrated/computerized with Pharmacy A and still had to fax orders to the pharmacy. The DON said LVN A contacted Pharmacy A today with the faxed order for Losartan 100 mg one tablet by mouth daily, as previously ordered in Resident #88's EMR from [DATE]. The DON said a cart search for another blister pack of Resident #88's Losartan 100 mg tablets did not reveal any other Losartan medication for Resident #88 except the incorrect dose of Losartan 25 mg Give 1/2 tab PO daily that was removed from the cart after the medication administration pass. The DON said she had not completed her investigation as to how long Resident #88 had received the incorrect dose of Losartan but based on her audit of Pharmacy A delivery slips for Resident #88 since his admission to the facility in [DATE], she could only find pharmacy delivery slips for the month of [DATE]. The DON said the only Losartan delivered for Resident #88 was on [DATE] for Losartan POT TAB 25 MG.Qty 30. When asked if she thought Resident #88 potentially receiving Losartan 25 mg 1/2 tab since [DATE] was a significant medication error, the DON did not answer. The DON said MA A should not have been documenting that he administered the correct Losartan medication for Resident #88 because it was not the correct dose as ordered and that would be considered falsifying documentation.

F 0760 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some to one education and reeducation and would provide copies of those records once completed. The DON said she had only been the DON at the facility since the end of [DATE] and had previously been the ADON at the facility. The DON said the Pharmacy Consultant was the person who completed the monthly medication reconciliations at the facility. Interview with the Administrator on [DATE] at 3:46 pm who said she the DON started in their roles at the facility around the same time, which was around the middle/end of [DATE]. The Administrator said the DON was responsible for facility resident monthly medication reconciliations along with the Pharmacy Consultant. The Administrator said she did not have anything to do with the medication reconciliation process at the facility and had nothing to do with residents' medications. The Administrator said the DON would be the on-site/in-house person responsible for monthly resident medication reconciliations and was not aware of any issues with Resident #88's blood pressure medication. The Administrator said she did not know anything about medications or risks. Interview with the DON on [DATE] at 2:58pm surveyor requested the CMA MAR signature page for Resident #88's [DATE] MAR. The DON advised surveyor there was no copy of any signature page for the CMA MAR. The DON was asked which staff members initials were NPe, she replied, MA A. When the DON was asked how she could tell which initials belong to which staff member, she said that NPe initials were MA A's and then said MA A and another MA were the only MA's who passed Resident #88's medications and worked that cart and hall. The DON then said that MA A was also the only MA who administered Resident #88's daytime medications on [DATE] and admitted to the medication error. Requested a copy of the staffing schedule from [DATE] and in-service trainings with staff.

F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some pack and only Losartan medication on the medication aide cart for Resident #88. MA A said that LVN A was notified around 9:30 am about Resident #88 receiving the incorrect dose of medication and reviewed Resident #88's medications with LVN A at that time. MA A said LVN A told him she would notify Resident #88's physician and get a clarification of Resident #88's Losartan order. MA A said that a resident could potentially have low blood pressure if they did not receive enough medication or if they received an incorrect dose of medication and that he had been trained on the 6 rights of medication administration., he just did not recognize it was the wrong dose. Interview with MA A on 8/19/25 at 1:57 pm MA A said he did not know why he documented that he had given Losartan 100 mg 1 tab PO daily instead of Losartan 25 MG 1/2 tab PO daily. MA A said he was used to documenting at the time of the medication administration and had not really looked at the blister pack until after the medication administration pass with the surveyor that morning and had a chance to review it. MA A said he should not have documented incorrectly because there was no Losartan 100 mg on the cart for Resident #88 as ordered and he had given the Losartan 25 mg 1/2 tab instead. MA A said he was not sure how long he had incorrectly documented on Resident #88's MAR but corrected it today as soon as he recognized his error, by reporting it to LVN A who was Resident #88's charge nurse. MA A said he was unsure how long he had been giving Resident #88 Losartan 25 MG 1/2 tab PO, but said it was the only blister pack of Losartan on the cart for Resident #88. Interview with the DON on 8/19/25 at 3:12 pm she said LVN A contacted Pharmacy A today with the faxed order for Losartan 100 mg one tablet by mouth daily, as previously ordered in Resident #88's EMR from 1/8/25. The DON said a cart search for another blister pack of Resident #88's Losartan 100 mg tablets did not reveal any other Losartan medication for Resident #88 except the incorrect dose of Losartan 25 mg Give 1/2 tab PO daily that was removed from the cart after the morning medication administration pass. The DON said based on her audit of Pharmacy A delivery slips for Resident #88 since his admission to the facility in December 2024, she could only find pharmacy delivery slips for the month of June 2025. The DON said the only Losartan delivered for Resident #88 was on 6/13/25 for Losartan POT TAB 25 MG.Qty 30. The DON said MA A should not have been documenting that he administered the correct Losartan medication for Resident #88 because it was not the correct dose as ordered and that would be considered falsifying documentation. Interview with DON on 8/20/25 at 2:58pm and requested the CMA MAR signature page for Resident #88's [DATE] MAR. The DON advised surveyor there was no copy of any signature page for the CMA MAR. The DON was asked which staff members initials were NPe, she replied, MA A. When the DON was asked how she could tell which initials belong to which staff member, she said that NPe initials were MA A's and then said MA A and another MA were the only MA's who passed Resident #88's medications and worked that cart and hall. The DON then said that MA A was also the only MA who administered Resident #88's daytime medications on 8/19/25 and admitted to the medication error.
