He stated he did not find any discrepancies in the medication counts when he worked with her. LVN-E stated he was suspicious of RN-B though because she was spacey and looked like she had to be on something. LVN-E stated the process for handling/storing of controlled medications for discharged residents, was he takes the narcotic count sheet for that medication, wraps it over the medication blister pack and puts it in the back of the all the other controlled medications so they know that patient has been discharged . He stated the medication should continue to be counted at every shift and it stays locked in the medication cart until the DON or ADON removed it. LVN-E could not remember if he had wrapped the count sheet around the narcotic for Resident #2 back in August, but did state he does check the 24-hour report for discharged residents before his shift. .During an interview with the DON on 02/04/2025 at 2:30 p.m. the DON reviewed the timeline of events of the drug diversion as follows: (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 676392 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 13 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 676392 B.

The DON stated RN-B worked only on 400 Hall. -On the following week, starting on 08/12//2024, RN-B started working the floor on 400 Hall on her own. The DON stated she believed this was when RN-B took the narcotics, and just back-dated on the narcotics count sheet. -On 08/13/2024, the DON counselled RN-B regarding documentation not being completed, and doing non-work activities during work, and RN-C started monitoring her more closely. - On 08/14/2024, the DON stated RN-C discovered drug diversion with Resident #2's Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen, because she knew Resident #2 had been discharged earlier but noted that the count sheet showed medications were still documented as having been given to her. She stated that RN-C notified her that evening, and she came back to facility to start investigation. The DON stated they started an audit on the medication carts, and she and RN-C started questioning RN-B, who admitted to taking the narcotics for her own use, was termed, and escorted out of building. - On 08/15/2024 - The paperwork for the termination of RN-B was completed. In-servicing of staff started. Interview on 02/04/2025 at 3:47p.m. with RN-C revealed she was the ADON in August 2024 who first discovered that RN-B had diverted medications. RN-C stated that RN-B was a new hire but had previous experience as a Nurse in a nursing facility and had completed about 4-5 days of orientation/training. RN-C stated she had started observing RN-B more closely after about her 4th or 5th day of training due to problems RN-B seemed to be having with time management. She stated she was observing for things like was RN-B documenting as she went, and not waiting till end of shift, and was also auditing her medication cart, checking the documentation on the narcotic count sheet and on the MAR. She stated while auditing RN-B's medication cart on 08/14/2024, she noted RN-B had documented that she gave pain medications to Resident #3 for several days in past week, but RN-C stated she knew Resident #3 well and knew she does not ask for pain medications anymore. It looked off to her, so she called the DON who had left the facility already but came back to facility. RN-C stated she and the DON pulled RN-B aside and started questioning her. RN-C stated RN-B initially denied diverting narcotics, but when questioned further, RN-B confessed to taking the narcotics for her own use and told them she had been in a motor vehicle crash and her back hurt her, she needed the pills for the pain. RN-C stated they checked all the residents, audited all the medication carts and did pain assessments on everyone. RN-C stated that they conducted in-services that night regarding the correct way to medication narcotic counts at shift change, proper documentation in the count back and in electronic record and removal of medications for discharged residents.

The DON stated the in-service on handling of narcotics for discharged residents, was that staff were to notify her, keep the narcotics in the locked container in the med cart until, she, and only she removes it, as she is the only person to have both keys to the controlled medication storage in the Administrators office. The DON stated the in-service included that she will pick up the controlled medication for the discharged resident the next business day, and if she was on leave or not available, the DON stated that the controlled medication stays in the medication cart and continues to be counted until she can pick up the medication and count card. The DON stated she had taken some leave around the time Resident #2 was discharged on 08/01/2024 and her discharge had been missed, which was why the narcotics stayed in the medication cart until the theft was discovered on 08/14/2024. The DON further stated the staff were not supposed to mark on the narcotics count sheet, or medication card that the resident had been discharged , or remove the card from the count book, just keep the narcotic medication locked in the cart, and the narcotic count card in the count book and count it with the other controled medications. She stated she expected the Nurse's to check the 24-hour report and dashboard at the beginning of their shifts to see which residents had been discharged , and to be aware of who had been discharged while conducting the controlled medication counts at each shift change. The DON stated the staff were to notify her of any controlled medication count discrepancies.

F 0695 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Observation and interview on 02/05/2025 at 2:00 p.m. LVN A stated Resident #1's oxygen was ordered as PRN (as needed). LVN A was observed checking the oxygen tank on the back of Resident #1's w/c in which he stated it was empty and she would need a new one. LVN A was observed then taking blood oxygen sats (a measure of the amount of oxygen in the blood) with pulse oximeter (measures how much oxygen is in the bloodstream as it travels around the body) with the pulse oximeter reading 83%, LVN A then removed the oxygen tubing from the portable tank and attached it to the oxygen concentrator against the wall behind the w/c setting to 4 liters while he again to took her oxygen sats with the pulse oximeter until it elevated to 97% and then turned the setting down to 2. LVN A stated oxygen sats were taken once a shift. LVN A stated Resident #1 had been at lunch and should have been put back on the concentrator when she returned to her room. LVN A stated he believed she had been placed on the tank before lunch. LVN A further stated the tanks should last for about 3 or 4 hours at 2 liters (flow of oxygen gas per minute). LVN A stated he should have paid more attention to the tank of Resident #1 or should have asked his CNA to check when she went in the room. LVN A stated he was not sure who had brought Resident #1 back to her room, but she should have been put on the oxygen concentrator. Interview on 02/06/2025 at 10:57 a.m. the PTA stated therapy would check resident's oxygen sats (a measure of the amount of oxygen in the blood) throughout the sessions especially if the resident was having difficulty breathing. The PTA stated Resident #1 was wearing oxygen on 02/05/2025 during her therapy session and she had a full tank. Further stating Resident #1's rate was usually set to 4 liters (flow of oxygen gas per minute). Interview on 02/06/2025 at 1:49 p.m. the DON stated nursing was responsible for changing and swapping out the oxygen tanks when needed. She further stated anybody could eyeball the oxygen tank or observe it's levels. The DON stated typically a tank was good for 8 hours if it was set at 2 liters (flow of oxygen gas per minute), but if it was cranked up it would lessen the time for use. The DON stated typically the physicians prefer for the oxygen sats to be above 90%. She further stated oxygen was important for the body's oxygenation (the process of delivering oxygen to the body's tissues) and to lessen the risk of altered mental status. Interview on 02/06/2025 at 3:44 p.m. via telephone with the nurse practitioner for Resident #1 stated she would like for a resident's oxygen sats remain greater than 90% and liters are adjusted to keep the oxygen sats at 90% or higher. The nurse practitioner further stated in general an oxygen sat of 83% would be too low. The nurse practitioner reviewed Resident #1's orders and stated Resident #1 had an order for 2 to 4 liters as needed, every shift was to check the oxygen sats every shift, however the sats were to be checked as needed also. The nurse practitioner further stated Resident #1 was using oxygen due to having a known respiratory condition and had pneumonia with sepsis. The nurse practitioner stated when oxygen was low for a prolong period it could cause poor oxygenation (the process of delivering oxygen to the body's tissues) to areas of the body. Record review of facility's policy titled Oxygen Administration, revised 05/2007, read Policy: It is the policy of this facility that oxygen therapy is administered, as ordered by the physician or as an emergency measure until the order can be obtained., Purpose: The purpose of the oxygen therapy is to provide sufficient oxygen to the blood stream and tissues., FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 676392 If continuation sheet Page 11 of 13 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 676392 B.

F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few made on her MAR indicating that PRN Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen had been administered to Resident #3 on the dates listed in February and March 2024 on the Narcotic Count sheet. During an interview with the DON on 02/05/2025 at 1:45pm, the DON reviewed the February and March 2024 MAR's for Resident #3, and the February and March 2024 Narcotics Count Card for Resident #3's Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen, and she confirmed that there were no entries documented on the February and March 2024 MAR's for Resident #3 which corresponded with the dates and times the Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen was documented as having been given to Resident #3 on the Narcotics Count Card. The DON stated that the correct process would be for the Nurse to assess and document the resident's pain level, administer the PRN pain medication to the Resident, and document that PRN pain medication both on the MAR and on the Narcotic Count sheet, and then re-assess and document the resident's pain level later and document. The DON stated that she believed the pain medication was administered as noted on the Narcotic Count Sheet, because it was documented by different Nurses. The DON stated that by not documenting the administration of PRN pain medication on the MAR, it may result in a Resident's frequency of pain not being assessed correctly by her medical team and could lead to drug diversion. The DON further stated that she had been made aware in August 2024 or problems with inaccurate documentation on the MARs of PRN medications, so developed a new process of having the ADON's audit the administration of narcotics and checking to see if documented correctly using the dashboard. Record review of the facility policy titled Nursing Services .Subject: Administration of Drugs revised 07/2015, revealed When PRN medications are administered, the nurse must record: A. Justification/reason the medication is given. B. The date and time administered via eMAR C. Any results achieved from administering the drug and the time such results were observed; and D. The signature (via eMAR) of the person administering the drug. FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 676392 If continuation sheet Page 13 of 13
