observation, interview and record review the facility failed to, in accordance with State and Federal laws,
store all drugs and biologicals in locked compartments under proper temperature controls and permitted
only authorized personnel to have access to the keys for one (Residents #1) of ten residents and for one
(Crash Cart) of three carts reviewed for medication storage. The facility failed to ensure the crash cart (cart
stocked with medical equipment, supplies, and medications used during medical emergencies) was locked
on 12/30/2025. The facility failed to ensure a tube of pain relieving topical (application of medication through
the skin) analgesic (painkiller) cream was not inside Resident #1's room on 12/30/2025. These failures
could place the residents at risk of accessing/opening the cart, accidental overdose, adverse reactions,
misuse of medications.Findings included: 1. An observation on 12/30/2025 at 8:22 AM revealed a crash
cart was parked outside the nurse's station unlocked. The cart and its drawers were facing the hallway, the
drawers contained emergency supplies and equipment like nasal cannula, syringes, and suction device,
and several types of tubing. It was observed that the first drawer had scissors in it and the third drawer had
a first aid kit. It was observed that several residents were passing by the crash cart and there was no staff
in the nurse's station. An observation on 12/30/2025 at 8:24 AM, a staff called ADON A and ADON A
locked the crash cart. In an interview on 12/30/2025 at 10:39 AM, LVN B stated the crash cart should be
locked when not in use for the safety of the residents. She said a resident might open it and grab something
that would be detrimental for the residents. She said the crash cart had tubings and scissors in it that the
resident could use to harm themselves if they were able to get hold of them. She said crash carts also have
medications used for emergencies that when accidentally consumed could result to allergic reactions,
overdose, nausea, and stomach upset. She said they were all responsible for locking the crash carts. In an
interview on 12/30/2025 at 11:06 AM, LVN C stated all the carts should be kept locked when not in use or
was left unattended, including the crash cart. She said the things inside the crash cart should not be
assessable to the residents because the resident might use them inappropriate like wrap the tubes around
their neck or poke their eyes with the syringe. She said there were scissors inside the crash cart and the
resident might accident cut themselves. She said the crash carts also have medications used for
emergencies and residents, staff, and visitors might open the drawers and get some medications from the
cart. 2. Record review of Resident #1's Face Sheet, dated 12/30/2025, reflected an [AGE] year-old female
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident was diagnosed with dementia (a condition characterized by
loss of memory and ability to reason), depression (persistent feeling of sadness or loss of interest), and low
back pain. Record review of Resident #1's Comprehensive MDS Assessment, dated 11/13/2025, reflected

impairment with a BIMS score of 02. The Comprehensive MDS Assessment indicated the resident had
dementia, depression, and low back pain. Record review of Resident #1's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated
11/20/2025, reflected the resident had potential for injury related to family bringing medications and one of
the goals was the resident would have no injuries related to family bringing medications and for the staff to
scan the room for any medications. Record review of Resident #1's Physician Orders on 12/30/2025,
reflected the resident did not have an order for the analgesic cream. Record review of Resident #1's
Assessment Notes on 12/30/2025, reflected no assessment for self-administration of medications, no clear
instructions for self-administrations, and no assessment the resident was competent to manage their own
medications. In an observation and interview on 12/30/2025 at 8:29 AM revealed Resident #1 was in her
wheelchair, awake. It was observed that there was a tube of topical analgesic cream on top of her overbed
table that was beside her wheelchair. The tube of analgesic cream was in plain view. The resident nodded
her head when asked if the analgesic cream was hers. The resident nodded her head when asked if the
analgesic cream had always been on her table. In an interview on 12/30/2025 at 11:06 AM, LVN C stated
she was not aware there was a tube of topical analgesic cream inside Resident #1. She said she did not
notice it when she did her morning round. She said the resident had dementia and might use it
inappropriately like applying it to her eyes or mouth. She said the resident did not even have an order for
the analgesic cream. She said the analgesic cream should be inside the nurse's carts and the nurses
should be the one applying it if the resident needed it. She said she would go to the resident's room and
talk to the resident regarding removing the analgesic cream. She said she would re-educate the family
member about letting the nurses about any medication being brought to the facility. She said since there
was already an issue about a family member bringing medications, the more staff should be mindful of
checking for any medications. In an interview on 12/30/2025 at 11:27 PM, the Administrator stated the
expectation was for all the carts, nurses' carts, medication aide carts, and the wound care carts, crash carts
would always be locked to protect the residents from getting any supplies and medications that they might
be allergic to or used inappropriately. he said another expectation was for no medications were inside the
residents' room to prevent accidental consumption that could result to adverse reactions like allergy,
stomach upset, and irritations. He said he would coordinate with the ADONs to educate the staff about the
matter. In an interview on 12/30/2025 at 12:44 PM, ADON A stated the carts should be locked every time
they were left unattended. She said the staff should lock the carts before leaving them to prevent
unauthorized individuals from opening them. She said confused residents might open the cart and ingest
something to which they were allergic or use something inappropriately that could result to harm. She said
there was no emergency the night prior, so she did not know why and how long the crash cart was not
locked. She said another issue was if somebody got hold of the supplies and medications, staff might not
have something to use in case of emergencies. She said she would try to find out who left it open so she
could remind the staff to always lock the crash cart. She said all the nurses were responsible in making
sure the crash cart was locked. She said there should be no medication inside the rooms of the residents
because of the danger of inappropriate use or overdose, especially if they had confusion or fading eyesight.
She said the topical analgesic cream was a medication for pain. She said if the staff knew that family
members were bringing medications, the more they should scan the room for any medications. She said the
expectation was for the staff to be observant to see if there were medications inside the residents' rooms
and always lock the carts when not in use. She said she initiate an in-service about the importance of the
locking the carts and about scanning the residents' room for any medications. Record review of the facility's
