This survey cited 1 deficiency, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 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 routine and emergency drugs and biologicals for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for pharmacy services. Residents Affected - Some The facility failed to ensure that Resident #1's hospital discharge orders were followed to prevent rehospitalization due to hypoglycemia. 1. The facility failed to discontinue Resident #1's metformin and glyburide medications. 2. The facility failed to implement blood sugar monitoring for Resident #1. 3. The facility failed to start Resident #1 on the appetite stimulant (Mirtazapine) as ordered. This failure resulted in an identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 02/10/2025 at 5:06 PM and an IJ template was given. While the IJ was removed on 02/11/2025 at 3:45 PM, the facility remained out of compliance at no actual harm at a scope of pattern that was not immediate jeopardy due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems. These failures could place residents at risk of exacerbation and/or deterioration of their health conditions which could result in rehospitalization and/or death. Review of Resident #1's face sheet reflected a [AGE] year-old woman re-admitted on [DATE] with initial admission date of 01/16/2025 with diagnoses of end stage renal disease (a medical condition where the kidneys have permanently lost their ability to function adequately), type 2 diabetes mellitus with unspecified complications (a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes where the specific complications are not detailed or identified), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), dependence on renal dialysis (a condition where a person's kidneys have permanently lost their ability to adequately filter waste products from the blood, requiring regular treatments to remove these toxins and maintain life), cognitive communication deficit (a difficulty with communication caused by an impairment in cognitive processes), and other speech and language deficits following cerebral infarction (a range of communication impairments that can occur after a stroke). (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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

Resident #1 was readmitted on [DATE] with hypoglycemia as she was restarted on her metformin and glyburide at the SNF.

What do CMS severity letters mean?

Serious (G-L). Actual harm to a resident, or immediate jeopardy. Codes G through I indicate actual harm; J through L indicate immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety.

General (A-F). No actual harm found, or harm that is minimal. The facility must still submit a Plan of Correction. Most CMS citations land here.

Each letter combines severity with scope: how many residents the deficiency affected.
