Maple Manor Village: Care Quality Deficiency - IA
The footage, reviewed during a November 2025 federal inspection, captured Staff A at 6:45 a.m. pulling several pills from different narcotic cards into a single medication cup, then leaving the cart at 6:42 a.m. A separate clip showed her palming one pill before walking away. Inspectors noted that some footage was missing entirely.
A colleague, identified as Staff C, had first flagged the problem on May 31, leaving a note for the director of nursing about missing narcotics and altered records. When administrators confronted Staff A that same day, she denied altering the records.
Ten days later, on June 10, administrators sat down with Staff A again, this time with the camera footage. Shown the altered controlled substance sheets, she pointed to a line signed by another nurse and said she knows she shouldn't do it, but corrects errors when she sees them. The administrator told her the line didn't look like an error until after she changed it, and that she had denied touching it nine days earlier. Shown the remaining records, Staff A said she couldn't explain the other alterations.
Then she was shown the video.
Staff A said she didn't know why she would have done it and that it wasn't her normal practice. She became tearful. She told administrators she had been experiencing health problems, including memory loss, and had an appointment scheduled to test for a brain tumor or early-onset Alzheimer's disease. When asked why she hadn't reported any of this to a supervisor before now, she said she didn't know.
Her termination was effective that day.
The inspection was classified as minimal harm or potential for actual harm. What the footage could not show, and what the records no longer reliably reflected, was how many pills had gone where, and for how long.
