There was no indication the nursing staff had contacted the pharmacy to inquire on the status of Resident #81's Pregabalin during 04/14/26 through 04/16/26 at 6:00 A.M. On 04/16/26 at 9:55 A.M. the physician was notified of needing new scripts for the Pregabalin. An order was given to place Resident #81's Pregabalin on hold until the medication arrived from the pharmacy. On 04/16/26 at 7:46 P.M. the nurse stated they were waiting on the Pregabalin 100 mg to arrive and the family was concerned about withdrawal. The note stated the physician and nurse practitioner were aware of missed doses and the plan was to start Pregabalin 75 mg as it was available in their starter kit. On 05/01/26 at 12:46 P.M. Resident #81's Pregabalin 100 mg was again not able to be administered due to it not being in stock and on the way to the facility. Interview on 06/04/26 at 10:14 A.M. with Nurse Practitioner (NP) #205 revealed she had sent a prescription on 04/13/26 to the pharmacy for Resident #81's Pregabalin. She was unable to state why the facility had not updated her sooner about needing his prescription prior to it running out. She stated she provided an order on 04/13/26 to hold the Pregabalin until it arrived from the pharmacy.

The DON stated NP #205 also provided an order to hold the medication until it arrived from the pharmacy. The DON was unable to provide documentation to show staff had attempted to reorder Resident #81's Pregabalin prior to 04/13/26 nor had inquired about his prescription between 04/13/26 to 04/16/26 while awaiting the medication. The DON stated the night shift nursing supervisor was to check the medications and ensure residents would not run out of their medications. She was unsure why the medication was not reordered prior to it running out and why the nursing staff had not requested a new prescription from NP #205 in a timely manner so that Resident #81 did not go without his medication. Review of the facility policy titled, Medication Administration, dated November 2021, revealed medications were to be administered in accordance with the physician's orders. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number 2989616.

Inspection of June 16, 2025
8 findingsBased on medical record review, review of the incident log, review of Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) data, review of hospital records, review of facility policy, and interviews with staff, the facility failed to prevent a significant medication error for Resident #51 when the resident's insulin medication with insulin hold parameters, was not administered with meals as ordered beginning on 02/02/25 and then on 05/08/25 was administered outside of the set parameters. Actual Harm occurred on 05/08/25 when Resident #51, who had severe cognitive impairment and required diabetes management with insulin, was admitted to the hospital with hypoglycemia (when blood glucose dropped below the normal range of relatively 80 to 130 milligrams per deciliter [mg/dL]). The facility found Resident #51 unresponsive, flushed, drooling, sweating and moaning with a blood glucose (BG) level of 37 mg/dL approximately two hours after being administered ten units of a short acting insulin (Novolog), despite the resident having a BG level of 97 mg/dL at the time, and the physician's order instructed the insulin held if the BG level was less than 110 mg/dL. This affected one (Resident #51) of three residents reviewed for medication administration. The facility identified a total of 13 additional residents (#12, #20, #23, #30, #31, #42, #44, #48, #49, #52, #66, #71 and #85) who received insulin. The facility census was 88. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #51 revealed an admission date of 09/12/22 with diagnoses including diabetes mellitus type two with hypoglycemia, diabetic chronic kidney disease, diabetic peripheral angiopathy, congestive heart failure and dementia. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 03/27/25, revealed Resident #51 had severe cognitive impairment. Review of Resident #51's physician orders revealed an order dated 02/02/25 to administer ten units of Novolog insulin with meals and hold for BG level of less than 110 mg/dL. Review of Resident #51's care plan initiated 09/20/22 revealed the resident was at risk for hyper/hypoglycemic (BG levels above or below the normal range) reactions and abnormal laboratory (lab) values related to diabetes and use of diabetic medications. Interventions included giving medications per physician order and monitoring for signs and symptoms of hypo/hyperglycemia, for example change in mental status, fatigue, change in vital signs, and increased urination, hunger or thirst. Review of the incident logs from 12/09/24 to 06/09/25 specified a medication error which involved Resident #51 on 05/08/25. Review of the incident report for Resident #51 dated 05/08/25 revealed at 4:15 P.M. an unspecified Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) did not follow an insulin order, and Resident #51 was unable to provide a description of the incident. Intramuscular (injection into the muscle) glucagon (primarily used for emergency treatment for very low blood sugar) was administered and the physician was notified. Review of Resident #51's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for May 2025 revealed the Novolog insulin order with meals was administered on 05/08/25 by LPN #647 at the 5:00 P.M. scheduled dose for dinner. Resident #51's BG level was monitored prior to the dose with a reading of 97 mg/dL. Despite the ordered parameters of holding the insulin dose for a BG of less than 110 mg/dL, LPN #647 administered the insulin to Resident #51. Review of the nursing progress note dated 05/08/25 at 6:47 P.M. indicated Resident #51 was found by an aide flushed, drooling, sweating and moaning. A BG check resulted in a reading of 37 mg/dL. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) was contacted, and the resident was taken to the hospital for treatment. Review of the hospital records printed 05/09/25 revealed Resident #51 was admitted for hypoglycemia after presenting to the emergency room (ER) on 05/08/25 with BG levels between 30 and 40 mg/dL and not responsive. Per EMS, the resident's BG was found to be 37 mg/dL after being given ten units of a short acting insulin and was found lying in bed. The facility gave one mg of IM (intramuscular) glucagon; however, Resident #51 remained unresponsive. A recheck of the BG was 48 mg/dL which then improved to 112 mg/dL after EMS gave 50 grams of dextrose and transported the resident to the ER. The facility was contacted and reported Resident #51 received ten units of insulin with a BG of 97 mg/dL for the scheduled dinner dose despite the order reading to hold for a BG of less than 110 mg/dL. The resident was admitted for further management. On 05/09/25, Resident #51 was discharged back to the facility with a medication order to continue Novolog ten units with meals three times daily. Review of the nursing progress note dated 05/09/25 at 7:13 P.M. indicated Resident #51 returned from the hospital without complaint. Interview on 06/10/25 at 3:49 P.M. with the Administrator verified Resident #51 was admitted to the hospital with hypoglycemia on 05/08/25 after LPN #647 did not follow the physician's order and administered ten units of Novolog insulin outside of the hold parameters. LPN #647 reported misreading the order and thought the order was to give the ten units without holding it with a BG of 97 mg/dL. The Administrator described LPN #647 as new to the facility but not a newly licensed nurse, and a QAPI plan was completed which included resident assessments, nurse training, audits and continued QAPI meetings. Review of the personnel file for LPN #647 revealed a hire date of 01/23/25 as an LPN charge nurse with an active unencumbered license and no findings of abuse or neglect in the state nurse aide registry (NAR). The Notice of Corrective Action dated 05/09/25 indicated LPN #647 was terminated for poor work performance due to not following physician orders and medication administration. Review of the QAPI plan dated 05/09/25 revealed the facility performed the following actions: Resident #51 was assessed on 05/09/25 with no negative findings; Resident #51's Power of Attorney (POA) was notified on 05/09/25; the medical director was notified on 05/09/25; like residents with insulin orders were assessed and insulin parameters were reviewed and deemed accurate on 05/09/25; medication administration education was provided to all licensed nurses on 05/09/25; one-on-one education was provided to LPN #647 on following physician orders and medication administration on 05/09/25; Director of Nursing (DON) or designee audited insulin parameters on 05/09/25 to continue three times weekly for four weeks; and the interdisciplinary team (IDT) met to review the QAPI plan on 05/09/25 to continue weekly for four weeks. Review of the MARs from February to June 2025 for the 02/02/25 Novolog insulin order for ten units with meals which was administered in error revealed Resident #51 was administered daily at 12:00 P.M. for lunch and 5:00 P.M. for dinner; however, there was no administration of the Novolog insulin from 02/02/25 to 06/11/25 with the breakfast meal. This error was not found during the QAPI insulin order audit completed on 05/09/25 or weekly thereafter and was not found or changed on 05/09/25 when Resident #51 returned from the hospital with a discharge order for Novolog ten units with meals three times daily. Interview on 06/11/25 at 12:34 P.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #600 confirmed Resident #51 received the Novolog insulin order for ten units with meals for only lunch and dinner daily from 02/02/25 to 06/11/25. Interview on 06/11/25 at 12:45 P.M. with the Administrator verified there was a discrepancy between Resident #51's hospital discharge order for Novolog insulin ten units with meals three times daily, the facility order for Novolog insulin ten units with meals, and the scheduled times the insulin was to be administered which was only at lunch and dinner. Review of the facility policy, Medication Administration - General Guidelines, dated November 2021, revealed medications were administered in accordance with written orders of the prescriber. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Numbers OH00164344 and OH00165145.
Based on observation, interviews, record review, review of the PBJ (Payroll-Based Journal) Staffing Data Report, and review of facility assessment, schedules, incidents logs, resident care lists, policies and the staffing tool, the facility failed to provide adequate staffing to meet resident needs in the Rosewood residential area which contained three units, 200-hall front (a secured memory care unit), 200-hall middle, and 200-hall back. This affected 47 residents (#2, #3, #4, #5, #7, #8, #9, #10, #12, #14, #19, #20, #22, #24, #25, #27, #28, #30, #35, #36, #38, #40, #42, #45, #47, #49, #50, #51, #52, #55, #57, #58, #59, #60, #61, #62, #67, #68, #70, #71, #72, #75, #76, #79, #83, #84 and #85) who resided in the Rosewood residential area. The facility census was 88. Findings include: Review of the facility census effective 06/08/25 revealed the Rosewood residential area, 200-hall front unit had 17 residents residing there, 200-hall middle unit had 16 residents, and 200-hall back unit had 14 residents. Observation on 06/09/25 at 4:58 A.M. of the night shift in the Rosewood residential area revealed upon entering through the double doors leading to all three units was a strong odor of urine which lingered. There was one nurse for all three units, one nursing assistant for 200-hall front (secured) unit, one nursing assistant for 200-hall middle unit, and no nursing assistant assigned to 200-hall back unit. Interview at the time of the observation with Registered Nurse (RN) #542 verified the staffing assignments and indicated not only being the nurse for all three units, but also having to work as the nursing assistant for 200-hall back unit. Observation on 06/09/25 at 5:00 A.M. of 200-hall back unit revealed no staff on the unit. Resident #50's call light was on, and Resident #27 was lying in bed with the light on leaning to the left in a fetal-like position. Observation on 06/09/25 at 5:06 A.M. of 200-hall middle unit revealed Resident #24 was hollering out for help. Upon entering the room, the resident was lying diagonally in bed with no sheet or blanket. A sheet appeared to be bunched up underneath both legs. There was no call light within reach as it was seen on the floor behind Resident #24's headboard of the bed. Interview with Resident #24 complained of needing changed because of feeling wet but could not find the call light. The resident accused staff of hiding the call light away because he used it too much and complained the staff made him get out of bed into a chair if he urinated too much in the bed, but he could not help it. Visible on the left knee was a small red discolored area which appeared to be an abrasion. Resident #24 indicated falling but could not remember when. Interview at the time of the observation with RN #542, who had pharmacy packaged medications in hand, verified the observation and stated remembering leaving the resident's call light in reach but was uncertain how it ended up behind the headboard. RN #542 indicated needing to handle the pharmacy medication delivery and then would return to provide incontinence care. Observation on 06/09/25 at 5:12 A.M. of 200-back hall unit revealed no staff on the unit, and Resident #50's call light was still on. RN #542 completed the pharmacy delivery at the nurse's station area and then went onto 200-hall middle unit, obtained clean linens, and entered Resident #24's room. Interview on 06/09/25 at 5:13 A.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #629 on 200-hall middle unit verified being the only nurse aide assigned to the unit, and residents who needed two staff assistance for care or mechanical lifts would wait until the nurse or nurse aide from the secured unit (200-hall front) came over to help. CNA #629 insisted on only working on 200-hall middle unit and denied knowing who was attending the 200-hall back unit because she was not going over there. CNA #629 complained about how difficult it was to complete care because of being alone and newly hired but would leave the unit to find help when needed. The nurse aide denied placing Resident #24's call light out of reach to prevent frequent calling and reported being unaware of how the resident's call light was placed behind the headboard. Observation on 06/09/25 at 5:15 A.M. of 200-back hall unit revealed there continued to be no staff on the unit, and Resident #50's call light which was initially seen on at 5:00 A.M. was still sounding. Observation on 06/09/25 at 5:18 A.M. of 200-back hall unit revealed there continued to be no staff on the unit, and Resident #50's call light remained on. Upon entering the resident's room, there was a strong odor of urine. Resident #50 was in a recliner chair located to the left of the bed. The resident's call light was not in reach and was seen on the floor located to the right of the bed. Resident #50 was holding her head and had a furrowed brow. Interview with the resident revealed a complaint of a terrible headache. When Resident #50 was asked how she was able to put the call light on since it was not in reach, she described having to get up from the recliner, walk around the bed, and pick up the call light from the floor to turn it on. Resident #50 complained about wishing the call light was next to her but could not figure out how to pull it over around the bed to where she was sitting, so she had no choice but to keep getting up to go use it. The resident then requested assistance to find staff to help. Observation on 06/09/25 at 5:20 A.M. of 200-hall back unit revealed there continued to be no staff on the unit, and Resident #50's call light remained sounding. Peering through the 200-hall front (secured) unit entrance door window, no staff was seen. On 200-hall middle unit, there was no staff seen in the hallway. Observation on 06/09/25 at 5:23 A.M. of 200-hall back unit revealed RN #542 enter the unit and answer Resident #50's call light. Interview at the time of the observation with RN #542 verified the strong odor of urine in the resident's room and the call light out of reach. RN #542 did not check for incontinence care need but put the call light in the resident's reach and assessed the pain level. After exiting Resident #50's room, RN #542 reported the resident was known to change her own briefs at times and had a tendency to put used briefs in the bathroom but continued down the unit's hallway without investigating the resident's need for incontinence care and left the unit. Observation on 06/09/25 at 5:25 A.M. of 200-hall front (secured) unit revealed one nurse aide present, CNA #517. Interview at the time of the observation with CNA #517 verified being the only staff member on the secured unit and not permitted to leave it unless it was covered by another staff member but admitted to having no choice but leave long enough to find another staff member for assistance or find the nurse when needed. CNA #517 described the unit as having several residents who required two staff assistance with care or mechanical lifts, and one resident (#8) who had behaviors at times requiring up to three staff members to complete care, so it was difficult to get enough help together for that resident. CNA #517 stated being unable to adequately monitor wanderers for safety or be present to redirect behaviors like wandering in and out of or rummaging in other resident rooms because of being alone on the unit. CNA #517 expressed a belief that falls had increased lately because the unit was full of 17 residents and there once was always two nurse aides on the unit but now there was only one nurse aide, and since the nurse covers all three units, the nurse was not able to be on the unit helping with resident behaviors or watching for safety. CNA #517 reluctantly acknowledged, in general, there were times when a second staff member could not be found so mechanical lifts or care would be completed with one staff member because there were no other options. At the time of the interview, CNA #517 looked across the hallway into Resident #79's room and saw the resident had self-transferred from the bed for toileting. The nurse aide entered the room and encouraged the resident to call for assistance to prevent falls then proceeded to address Resident #79's needs. Interview at 06/09/25 at 5:33 A.M. with RN #542 on 200-hall middle confirmed being responsible for completing nurse aide responsibilities on 200-hall back as well as the nurse but was not able to make it back on the unit yet. RN #542 verified being the only one available to provide incontinence care or rounds to check and change but stated there were not too many incontinent residents there. RN #542 was unable to report the last time 200-hall back received any rounds or assistance with incontinence care but confirmed it was at some time prior to 5:00 A.M.
