Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the right to be free from
Misappropriation of Resident Property for 3 of 5 residents (Residents #1, #2 and #3)
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to prevent the misappropriation of Resident #1's discontinued Hydrocodone/ Tylenol
7.5mg/ 325mg when 10 tablets could not be accounted for and Resident #2's hydromorphone liquid 1mg/ml
when 120 ml could not be accounted for, and Resident #3's Hydrocodone/ Tylenol 10 mg/ 325mg when 56
tablets could not be accounted for.
The noncompliance was identified as PNC. The past noncompliance began on 05/29/2025 and ended on
06/04/2025. The facility had corrected the noncompliance before the investigation began.
This failure had the potential to affect the residents in the facility by placing them at risk for misappropriation
of resident medication and drug diversion.

disrupted blood supply (ischemia) and restricted oxygen supply (hypoxia).) and vascular dementia (A group
of symptoms that affects memory, thinking and interferes with daily life.).
Review of Resident #2's discharge MDS (death in facility) reflected Resident #2 was assessed to be on
hospice services.
Residents Affected - Some
Review of Resident #2's comprehensive care plan reflected Resident #2 had a plan of care for pain and
hospice with interventions that included pain medication.
Review of Resident #2's physician's orders reflected an order hydromorphone HCL liquid 1mg/ml every 2
hours as needed for pain with a discontinuation date of 05/26/2025.
Review of Resident #3's face sheet reflected she was admitted on [DATE] with the following diagnoses
cerebral infraction (the pathologic process that results in an area of necrotic tissue in the brain. It is caused
by disrupted blood supply (ischemia) and restricted oxygen supply (hypoxia).) and diabetes mellitus type 2
(A condition results from insufficient production of insulin, causing high blood sugar.).
Review of Resident #3's Quarterly MDS assessment reflected a BIMS score was not conducted indicating
she had severe cognitive impairment. Resident #3 was assessed to have scheduled pain medication
regimen.
Review of Resident #3's comprehensive care plan reflected a focus area for hospice care and routine pain
medication.
Review of Resident #3's physician's orders reflected Resident #3 Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen 10 mg/
325mg with a discontinuation date of 05/30/2025.
Review of the facility's investigation report dated 05/29/2025 reflected on 05/29/2025 the ADON took
Resident #1's discontinued medication Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen 10 mg/ 325mg off the medication cart
from the charge nurse LVN A. LVN A was concerned regarding the way the ADON took the discontinued
medication off her cart without signing for it. LVN A informed her DON. When the DON requested the ADON
produce the discontinued mediation, the count sheet had been modified from the last accurate count of 49
(which was documented with two nursing signatures at morning shift change on 05/29/2025) to 39. The
ADON had no explanation for the discrepancy except that she did not follow the facility's procedure. Further
review of the facility's investigation report reflected that during an audit of all discontinued medications the
facility found 2 additional medications missing for Resident #2 and Resident #3 (Resident #2's
hydromorphone liquid 1mg/ml when 120 ml could not be accounted for, and Resident #3's Hydrocodone/
Tylenol 10 mg/ 325mg when 56 tablets could not be accounted for). The facility terminated the ADON
because she did not follow narcotic policies and procedures that she knew. She stated that in her statement
and she was the last in chain of custody for Resident #1's discontinued medication. It was also decided to
in -service all staff to not release medications without a signature or give keys to anyone, no matter their
position (ADON follows same policies and procedures and everyone else.) LVN A, even though she
identified the concern was counseled individually by the DON because she released the medications
without proper procedures being followed. The facility further put a new policy in place that two signatures
were required when placing discontinued medications in storage that are waiting for destruction. The
facility's investigation team decided that this drug diversion was confirmed because the ADON was in
possession as the last in the chain of custody and the count was off. She validated that she did not follow
the facility policy and took full

In an interview on 06/17/2025 at 1:00 PM the ADON stated she took Resident #1's narcotics off the
medication cart and took them to her office and put them in a drawer because she did not think the resident
was supposed to take narcotic medication home with them once they discharged . She stated she did not
count the medication when she removed them from the cart. She stated she had worked at other facility's
where the residents were not able to take the medication home. The ADON denied taking any of the
medication and stated she did not know about the other missing discontinued narcotics. She stated all she
did was remove the medication and put it in a locked drawer in her office. She stated she did not have a
chance to take it to the discontinued drug drawer that was why it was in her office. She stated she knew she
was supposed to take all discontinued meds to the discontinued lock up which had two locks and a log for
the medication.

keys for. LVN A stated she followed the ADON to her medication cart and saw she took Resident #1's
narcotic medication and stated to her that the resident could not take them home with her. LVN A stated the
ADON took the medication to her office. LVN A stated it did not sit well with her that the ADON did not sign
the medication out. LVN A further stated she always sent all the resident's medications home on discharge.

her that yes, the medications were supposed to go home with the resident. She stated her and the DON
went to the ADON's office to get the medication. LVN A stated the ADON was fumbling around like she did
not know where the medications were and then finally, she took them out of a drawer where they were in
the back of the drawer.

revealed no discrepancies and the medications were counted at shift change.
In an interview on 06/17/2025 at 1:30 pm the DON stated when she came in to work on 05/29/2025 LVN A
came to her and told her the ADON removed medications from her cart, and she felt like it was not right.
The DON stated she went with LVN A to the ADON's office to get the medications. The DON stated when
they got to her office the ADON at first acted like she did not have the medication, then removed them from
the back of her desk drawer from behind some files. The DON stated the ADON told her she knew the
procedure for discontinued medications and that they were supposed to go to the discontinued drug file
cabinet. The DON stated the ADON did tell her that she did not think the medications could go home with
the resident. The DON stated she did not have an explanation of why the count
