Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident had the right to be free from abuse,
neglect, misappropriations of resident property, and exploitation for one (Resident #1) of five residents
reviewed for abuse.
The facility failed to ensure that Resident #1 was free from abuse. On 04/30/24, Resident #2 intentionally
pinched Resident #1 on the left arm because Resident #1 put her fingers into Resident #2's cup of ice.
Resident #1 sustained bruising from the pinches. Resident #2 was transferred to another facility on
05/01/2025.
This failure could place residents at risk for abuse and physical, mental, and psychosocial harm.
The findings include:
Record review of Resident #1's admission record reflected a [AGE] year-old female that was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with an original admission date of 11/16/20. Resident #1's pertinent diagnoses
included Alzheimer's disease with late onset (progressive disease in which brain cells and connections
degenerate and die resulting in confusion and loss of memory and thinking, as well as the ability to do
simple tasks) and unspecified dementia (condition in which a person loses the ability to think, remember,
learn, make decisions, and problem solve).
Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS score of 0 due to the
inability to complete the BIMS section and a Cognitive Skills for Daily Decision Making score of 3 which
indicated that Resident #1 was severely cognitively impaired.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan dated 11/17/20 to 07/24/24 reflected a focus of Resident #1 was
involved in a resident to resident altercation on 04/30/24 when she was pinched by roommate (Resident #2)
which resulted in a discoloration to the middle, lower part and front part of her left upper arm initiated on
05/01/24. The goal of this focus was Resident #1 would remain free from injury from a resident to resident
altercation throughout the next review period initiated on 05/01/24. The interventions were head to toe
assessment, notified MD, monitored discoloration for 5 days, residents were immediately separated and
redirected away from each other, roommate (Resident #2) was immediately moved to another room, and
roommate (Resident #2) was transferred to another facility. Those interventions were initiated on 05/01/24.
Record review of Resident #1's progress notes reflected a note dated 05/01/24 at 11:54 am by ADON A
that stated, This nurse was notified by CNA that resident had bruising to her upper left extremity.

was alert and her cognition was intact. CNA H stated Resident #1 was nice but had her bad days and could
not answer questions because of her dementia; he never saw her have any altercations with any other
residents. CNA H stated Resident #1 would grab at food or drinks but did not really know what she was
doing and only tried to pick up an item if it was placed within her reach. CNA H stated if he had witnessed
the abuse, he would have reported it to the administrator. CNA H stated they were in-serviced at least
monthly regarding abuse.

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that licensed nursing staff
were able to demonstrate the specific competencies and skill sets necessary to care for resident's needs.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure LVN-D and LVN-E both were competent in counting their narcotics correctly, as
well as competent in keeping control of the narcotic keys appropriately. On 02/26/25 prior to shift change,
LVN-D failed to count her narcotics off with LVN-E prior to leaving at the end of her shift, as well as LVN-E
failed to secure the narcotic key on her body or person, but left it sitting in a cabinet at the nurses station.
This failure had the potential to place residents, visitors, and staff at unnecessary risks of a medication
error or drug diversion, to include both the risk of missing or stolen narcotic medications, as well as the risk
of missing or stolen narcotic keys.
Findings included:
Record review of in-service dated 10/29/24 revealed staff were in-serviced over knowing job duties, report
must be given, and narcotic log must be done at every shift.
Record review of in-service dated 01/15/25 revealed staff were in-serviced over policies regarding locking
med-carts.
Record review of controlled count sheets for February and March 2025 revealed multiple narcotics being
counted on a single sheet instead of their own separate sheets, as well as multiple narcotics being marked
out, subtracted, and/or re-added to the count.
Observation on 02/26/25 at 3:00 PM revealed the DON, ADON-A, and ADON-B checking all the narcotic
compartments of the medication carts to verify they were all locked and secured.
Observation on 02/26/25 at 3:00 PM revealed the DON, ADON-A and ADON-B checking all the narcotic
count sheets to verify all counts were correct.
In an interview with LVN-D on 02/26/25 at 2:20 PM, she stated that she counted her medications and
narcotics with herself, and left the keys with LVN-E, who held onto them until whichever nurse was going to
take over that cart, then that on-coming nurse would have counted to verify that the narcotic count was
correct. She stated that she was supposed to count with an oncoming nurse or whoever was taking over
the med-cart and narcotic keys prior to leaving, but sometimes when there was no nurse available to count
with, the nurses would just count with themselves. She also stated that if narcotic keys were left in a desk or
unattended, they could get stolen, and a resident or staff could steal narcotics, which could harm them if
they took them.
In an interview with ADON-B on 02/26/25 at 2:50 PM, he stated that the nurses should never be counting
by themselves. They should always count with another nurse and sign off that the count was correct prior to
handing off the keys or the cart, and the keys should always be on the person of the nurse who was in
control of or over that med-cart. He stated that if they were not counting with the oncoming nurse, or the
nurse taking over the narcotic keys and cart, the count could be incorrect, and

someone would be held liable for missing narcotics. He also stated that if the keys were left in or on a desk,
or in a cabinet, they could be stolen, and residents or staff could get a hold of narcotics that do not belong
to them, and this could cause them harm. He initially stated he was unsure of who held the keys between
off-going nurse LVN-D and on-coming nurse LVN-L, but he thought it may had been LVN-E who held onto
the keys until LVN-L came onto shift. He then stated no one had control of the keys as they were left inside
a binder at the nurse's station by LVN-D, and LVN-D verbally told LVN-E she was leaving them there for the
on-coming nurse. ADON-B also stated he understood why it could be confusing to determine correct counts
and information on the controlled count sheets when multiple counts were being done on a single sheet,
and many things were being deducted then re-added.
In an interview with ADON-A on 2/26/25 at 3:30 PM, she stated the oncoming should get report and count
off medications with the off-going nurse, then the on-coming nurse accepts responsibility for the medication
cart and narcotic keys. She stated that the nurses had been in-serviced multiple times on getting report and
counting their medications. She stated that LVN-D should have counted off with LVN-L, and LVN-L then
counted with myself (ADON-A) since the nurses were leaving early and/or working a split shift; then I
(ADON-A) counted with LVN-C. The off-going nurses were supposed to count together at the end of a shift
with the on-coming nurses, or if the cart and keys had to switch hands with another nurse during a shift, like
a split shift. If the count was wrong, the oncoming nurse should not accept the count or cart because this
can create a medication error or drug diversion. She also stated that if the keys were left unattended, they
could be taken or stolen by a resident or other staff member who would then have had access to narcotic
medications that could have caused them harm.
In an interview with the DON on 02/26/25 at 3:45 PM, she stated nurses should never count by themselves,
and they should always count with another nurse, as well as sign off that the count was correct prior to
handing off the keys or the cart, and the keys should always be kept on the nurse who was in control of or
over that medication cart. She stated that if they were not counting with the oncoming nurse, or the nurse
taking over the narcotic keys and cart, the count could be incorrect, and keys or narcotics could go missing.
She also stated that keys should never be left in a desk or cabinet, and if the keys were left in or on a desk,
or in a cabinet, they could be stolen, and residents or staff could get a hold of narcotics that do not belong
to them, and this could cause them harm. She was unsure of who held the keys between off-going nurse
LVN-D and on-coming nurse LVN-L. She stated she thinks it was LVN-E who held onto the keys until LVN-L
came onto shift, but she was not sure. The DON also stated she understood why it could be confusing to
determine correct counts and information on the controlled count sheets when multiple counts were being
done on a single sheet, and many things were being deducted then re-added.
In an interview with LVN-E on 2/27/25 at 9:00 AM, she stated she has worked here 7 years and knew the
nurses should be counting their narcotics together prior to the on-coming nurse taking control of a
medication cart or narcotic keys. She stated the nurses keep the med-cart and narcotics locked for the
safety of the residents and staff because if left unlocked a resident or staff could take something that was
not ordered for them, and it could harm them. She also stated LVN-D left yesterday morning without
counting meds with the oncoming nurse and left the keys with her (LVN-E) to give to the oncoming nurse,
but the keys were left in a cabinet at the nurse's station for the next nurse to take over. She stated that if
keys were left unattended someone could find them, get into the med-cart and steal medications, including
narcotics.

locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure that drugs and biologicals
used in the facility were secured and stored in accordance with current accepted professional principles for
2 of 4 medication carts observed for medication storage in that:
The facility failed to ensure the 400 hall medication cart and the 100 hall medication cart were locked
and/or secured.
This failure could place the residents at risk of gaining access to unlocked medications that were not
prescribed to them.
Findings included:
Record review of in-service dated 10/29/24 revealed staff were in-serviced over knowing job duties, report
must be given, and narcotic log must be done at every shift.
Record review of in-service dated 01/15/25 revealed staff were in-serviced over policies regarding locking
med-carts.
Observation on 02/26/25 at 8:05 AM revealed an unlocked med-cart parked at the nurse's station with no
nurses or other staff around it. There were residents noted to be walking and passing by, as well as a nurse
at another med-cart parked at the other side of the nurse's station. The med-cart lock was popped out, and
all drawers were able to be opened. Most of the med-cart drawers were stocked full of medications.
Observation on 2/26/25 at 9:08 AM revealed an unlocked med-cart parked in the 400 hall with no nurses or
other staff around it. There were residents noted to be walking and passing by, as well as a nurse at
another med-cart just down the hall. The cart lock was popped out, and all drawers were able to be opened.
The med-cart was pushed to the DONs office, and the drawers were opened to show to both the DON and
ADON of it being unlocked, and anyone having access to take anything. Most of the med-cart drawers were
stocked full of medications.
In an interview on 02/26/25 at 8:07 AM with Med-Aide-K, he stated it was his med-cart from the 100 Hall,
and he saw that it was unlocked, but he did not leave it unlocked because he had just gotten there, and it
was already unlocked when he came on shift this morning. He stated it must have been left unlocked by
night shift, but he did not know specifically who. He stated it was usually locked when he comes on shift in
the mornings, and it should always be locked when not in use because if left unlocked anyone could get
into it and get medications out that did not belong to them, and this could cause harm.
In an interview on 02/26/25 at 9:10 AM with ADON-A, she stated the 400 hall med-cart belonged to the
Med-Aide who had not even arrived yet, so it must have been left unlocked by the night shift nurse. She
stated they had not had an issue with unlocked med-carts previously, and if the carts were left unlocked a
resident or anyone else could get into the cart and take the medication from it. This could cause harm or
even be fatal.

SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
(Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0761
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
In an interview on 02/26/25 at 9:12 AM with the DON, she stated the second unlocked med-cart from the
400 Hall belonged to a med-aide that was not here yet, and she was unsure why it was left unlocked, but it
may have been left unlocked by night shift. She stated that if a cart was left unlocked a resident or anyone
else could get into it and take any of the medication, and if a resident ingested a medication that was not
theirs, it could make them sick or cause harm.
Residents Affected - Few
In an interview on 02/26/25 at 2:20 PM with LVN-C, she stated she never saw med-carts unlocked, and
med-carts should never be left unlocked. If a med-cart was left unlocked a resident could get a hold of
something or ingest medications that could harm them, or anyone could steal medications or something out
of the med-cart. She stated that the nurses were in-serviced at least monthly regarding the med-carts, so
they should have known better than to leave them unlocked.
In an interview on 02/26/25 at 2:35 PM with LVN-D, she stated med-carts were supposed to be locked or
other staff or residents could get into them, and things like death, sickness, or theft could happen. She
stated the nurses were in-serviced at least monthly regarding med-carts.
In an interview on 02/27/25 at 9:00 AM with LVN-E, she stated she had never seen a med-cart left
unlocked, but if she did, she would immediately lock it because they were supposed to be kept locked when
not in use. She stated the carts were kept locked for the safety of the residents and staff because if left
unlocked someone could take something that was not ordered for them, and it could harm them.
Record review of the Medication Administration Policy dated 10/01/19, under the subsection: General
Guidelines, and Subject: Medication Carts and Supplies for Administering Meds, revealed the medication
cart is locked at all times when not in use, and do not leave the medication cart unlocked or unattended in
the resident care areas.
