Calibre Post Acute: Behavioral Health Failures - NM

Healthcare Facility
Calibre Post Acute, Llc
Las Cruces, NM  ·  1/5 stars

The resident, identified in inspection records as Resident 16, was taking escitalopram and trazodone. Both medications carried the same warning: closely monitor all antidepressant-treated patients for clinical worsening and for emergence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. His care plan contained none of that monitoring. No specific behaviors for staff to watch. No non-pharmacological interventions for his depression diagnosis. Nothing.

A licensed practical nurse told inspectors the monitoring had simply never happened. The resident was not checked for suicidal thoughts. He was not checked for depression symptoms. What staff were tracking, the nurse said, were his inappropriate sexual behaviors toward female staff and female residents.

The director of nursing confirmed every piece of it on October 10. She acknowledged the escitalopram order carried a black box warning. She acknowledged the care plan did not include behaviors staff should monitor related to depression. She acknowledged it included no non-pharmacological interventions. She acknowledged staff had never been directed to watch for worsening depression or the emergence of suicidal thoughts. Then she said what should have been in the care plan all along: the interventions being used to treat depression, and the specific behaviors staff were supposed to watch for.

The inspection, conducted November 18, 2025, classified the violation under care planning deficiencies with potential for actual harm.

The gap between what a black box warning requires and what this care plan contained was not subtle. The warning is among the most serious alerts the FDA issues. For Resident 16, it existed on paper and nowhere else.
