Calibre Post Acute: Care Order Violations - NM
The November 2025 inspection, triggered by a complaint, found that staff had no care plan in place directing them to monitor the resident, identified in records as Resident 16, for suicidal thoughts, suicidal behaviors, or any symptoms of depression at all. He was taking escitalopram and trazodone. Both carried the same black box warning: closely monitor all antidepressant-treated patients for clinical worsening and for emergence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
An LPN told inspectors the monitoring simply wasn't happening. No one was tracking whether his depression was getting worse. No non-pharmacological interventions, things like structured activities, counseling referrals, or social engagement, had been put in place for his diagnosis. What staff were monitoring him for, the LPN said, was inappropriate sexual behaviors toward female staff and female residents.
The Director of Nursing confirmed each failure during an interview on October 10. The care plan contained nothing about depression-related behaviors for staff to watch for. It contained nothing about interventions to treat the depression. It said nothing about monitoring for suicidal ideation. The DON acknowledged that it should have included all of it.
Inspectors cited the deficiency at a level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm.
The gap between what the medication required and what the facility provided was not subtle. Escitalopram's black box warning exists because the drug itself can, in some patients, increase the risk of suicidal thinking, particularly early in treatment or after dose changes. The warning is a directive to act. At Calibre Post Acute, it went unheeded.
Resident 16 remained on both medications, monitored for one set of behaviors while the risks written on his prescription bottles went unaddressed.
