Maple Manor Village: Resident Property Misuse - IA
The camera footage, from May 29, 2025, shows the nurse, identified in the report as Staff A, popping several pills into a single medication cup from different narcotic cards around 6:45 a.m. At one point, she appears to pop a single pill directly into her hand and then walk into the nurses' station with it. A second nurse, Staff C, had already flagged the situation, leaving a note for the Director of Nursing about missing narcotics and altered records.
When administrators first questioned Staff A on May 31, she denied altering any records. Ten days later, after the camera footage had been reviewed, the administrator sat down with Staff A again and walked her through the Controlled Substance Medication Records line by line. Staff A pointed to one altered entry, an altered date on a line signed by a different nurse, and said she knew she shouldn't do it but corrected errors when she spotted them. The administrator told her that line hadn't looked like an error until someone changed it.
Staff A could not explain the other alterations. When shown the footage of herself dispensing multiple tablets into one cup, she said she didn't know why she would have done that and that it wasn't her normal practice. She became tearful.
She told the administrator she had been experiencing health problems, including memory loss, and had an appointment scheduled to be tested for a brain tumor or early-onset Alzheimer's disease. The administrator asked why she hadn't reported any of this to a supervisor or human resources. Staff A said she didn't know, and that she knew she should have.
Her employment was terminated that day.
Inspectors also noted that some footage was missing entirely. What remained covered two windows on May 29: 6:35 to 6:50 a.m. and 9:45 to 10:00 a.m. What happened outside those windows, and how many narcotics went unaccounted for, the report does not say.
