Wooded Glen: Expired IV Bags Found in Medication Cart - OH
The September 2025 inspection, triggered by a complaint, found the facility's 400-hall IV cart stocked with bags that had expired as far back as December 2024. Among them: three bags of 5% Dextrose expiring in February 2025, a liter of 10% Dextrose that expired in March 2025, two bags of Lactated Ringers expiring in May 2025 and December 2024, and a 50-milliliter bag of 0.9% Sodium Chloride that had expired in December 2024. One bag of 5% Dextrose carried a handwritten "do not use beyond" date of November 2024, with a typo in the year rendered as "11/20244."
The Director of Nursing told inspectors she had assumed a pharmacy representative was coming in to check the cart and pull anything outdated. Nobody had.
The facility identified one resident, listed in the report as Resident 239, as the person receiving IV solution at the time of the survey. The inspection report does not indicate whether any expired solution was administered to that resident.
Wooded Glen's own medication storage policy states that outdated medications must be pulled from active inventory immediately and moved to a separate area to prevent accidental use. The cart where inspectors found the expired bags was the active cart.
The facility census at the time of the inspection was 51 residents. CMS rated the deficiency as having minimal harm or potential for actual harm, affecting few residents. The inspection was conducted under Complaint Number 2612621.
The Director of Nursing verified the count of twelve expired bags on the spot. She did not dispute what inspectors found.

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.
