Country Club Retirement Ctr IV: Drug Record Failures - OH
The discrepancy covered Residents 9, 19, 23, 4, 13, and 44. Inspectors identified the gap during a complaint investigation on November 25, 2025. When they sat down with the Director of Nursing that morning at 9:07, she confirmed it directly: the Controlled Drug Receipt and the Medication Administration Record, known as the MAR, did not align for any of those six residents.
Controlled substances are among the most tightly tracked medications in any nursing home. Narcotics, sedatives, anxiety medications — these drugs are logged when they arrive, logged when they are signed out, and logged when they are administered. The chain of documentation exists precisely because the drugs are powerful and because the potential for diversion, error, or missed doses carries real consequences for people who are often frail, in pain, or medically complex.
When those logs disagree, something went wrong somewhere in that chain. The inspection report does not say which direction the discrepancy ran — whether doses were recorded as given that the receipt log didn't account for, or whether the receipt showed drugs that never made it into the administration record. It does not say whether any resident was harmed. CMS rated the level of harm as minimal harm or potential for actual harm.
What it does say is that six people's medication records were inaccurate, and that the facility's own written policy, in place since July 2021, required staff to document administration in the MAR and in the controlled substance sign-out record at the time of administration. Not later. Not when they got around to it. At the time.
The Director of Nursing confirmed that requirement too.
The inspection was triggered by a complaint, filed under Complaint Number 2649219. Inspectors did not arrive for a routine check. Someone raised a concern, and when regulators looked, they found what the complaint apparently anticipated they would find.
Country Club Retirement Ctr IV sits on Conno-Mara Drive in Bellaire, a small city in Belmont County in eastern Ohio. The deficiency was cited under F0842, which covers the accuracy and completeness of medical records.
Six residents. Six sets of records that didn't line up. The Director of Nursing sitting across from inspectors on a Tuesday morning, confirming it all.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
