F 0610 The NHA was interviewed on 5/7/25 at 2:05 p.m. He said the incident between Resident #9 and her boyfriend occurred on Saturday, 4/12/25. He said prior to the allegation, the facility did not have the Level of Harm - Minimal harm or boyfriend's contact information to inform him that he could not visit until after the incident was fully potential for actual harm investigated. He said he contacted the parents on Monday, 4/14/25, two days after the incident occurred to obtain the boyfriend's contact information. Residents Affected - Few
The NHA said the boyfriend visited the resident on the weekends and the resident's parents provided transportation. The NHA said if the boyfriend visited on a Saturday, he would not visit on a Sunday. The NHA said he thought the resident was safe and he did not need to contact the parents for the boyfriend's contact information until Monday.
The NHA said he was responsible for the questions management used for the resident and staff interviews.
The NHA said the interview questions asked of the staff during the investigation for Resident #9 did not make sense for the investigation process. He said the questions were more relevant to ask residents instead of staff members.
The NHA was interviewed a second time on 5/8/25 at 1:27 p.m. The NHA said he did not obtain an interview from the CNA who witnessed the incident with Resident #9 and her boyfriend on 4/12/25 to clarify exactly what she saw.
The NHA said the witness statement lacked specific information in regards to what the CNA saw related to inappropriate touching of the resident on 4/12/25.
The NHA said the investigation did not include an interview from the alleged assailant and an interview or
observation from the alleged victim. The NHA said the interview questions for staff were incomplete and did not ask if they witnessed any other potential concerns or incidents with Resident #9 and her boyfriend prior to the 4/12/25 incident.
The NHA said since there was a lack of interviews and statements and it was difficult to determine if the allegation was unsubstantiated. The NHA said, looking at the timeline of when the care plan was updated on 4/18/25 to ensure the boyfriend was only in the highly observable areas, to when the NHA contacted the boyfriend on 4/23/25, the investigation process was not completed in a timely manner in order to protect Resident #9 from another allegation of sexual abuse on 4/23/25.
III. Incident of physical abuse between Resident #7 and Resident #8 on 4/8/25
A. Facility investigation
The investigation of the resident-to-resident altercation between Resident #7 and Resident #8 was provided by the nursing home administrator (NHA) on 5/6/25 at approximately 3:30 p.m.
The 4/8/25 incident note revealed that Resident #7 was observed entering Resident #8's room without permission. This caused Resident #8 to become upset and yell at Resident #7. The yelling caused Resident #7 to become upset and both residents began hitting each other. Both residents were separated and assessed for injuries.

-The investigation failed to reveal that either Resident #7 or Resident #8 were interviewed following the incident to gain understanding of what potentially led to the incident in order to prevent any further incidents from occurring.
B. Staff interviews
The DON was interviewed on 5/8/25 at 11:32 a.m. The DON said if a facility staff member became aware of resident abuse, they should notify the abuse coordinator, who was the nursing home administrator (NHA),
after ensuring the safety of the resident. She said the CNA should document the behavior in the residents' electronic medical records (EMR), on the residents' daily tasks records. She said the nurse was also responsible for initiating an incident report that included completing a skin assessment and pain assessment, notifying the family and notifying the physician. She said the nurse was responsible for developing an immediate intervention to keep the resident safe during the investigation process.
The DON said the nurses documented everything they saw and what they did following the incident in the incident report. The DON said the alleged abuse and interventions were communicated to the next shift
during the investigation process by a written report called a shift-to-shift report and a verbal report. She said
a statement was obtained by the abuse coordinator (the NHA).
The DON said she was familiar with the altercation between Resident #7 and Resident #8 on 4/8/25. She said she completed the physical aggression incident report because she heard the yelling between the two residents. She said she was not sure if CNA #1, RN #1, DA #1, LPN #1, or the SSD saw or heard the altercation but she said she was sure other staff members must have heard the yelling based on where Resident #8's room was located in proximity to the nurses' station. The DON said she was not certain which staff witnessed the resident-to-resident abuse because the investigator (the ADON) did not interview all staff
on duty.
The DON said there was no specific behavior linked to the resident-to-resident abuse that occurred between Resident #7 and #8, per the investigation statements obtained by the NHA.
The NHA was interviewed on 5/7/25 at 2:05 p.m. The NHA said when he investigated an abuse allegation,
he asked the staff member who saw the resident altercation/abuse to write a statement. He said if he did not directly interview staff, he designated someone in management to conduct the interviews. The NHA said he tried to obtain a statement and interview from the alleged assailant and victim. He said residents and staff interviews were completed by someone in management. He said there should be an intervention put in place to keep the residents safe while the investigation was in process.

F 0760 The 4/29/25 hospital visit, documented at 10:24 p.m., revealed Resident #10 had an accidental drug ingestion of another resident's medications. It documented Resident #10 experienced hypotension (low Level of Harm - Actual harm blood pressure) and tachycardia (high heart rate). The resident was administered 1000 milliliters (ml) intravenous fluids and was observed for six hours at the hospital. Resident #10 was initially discharged from Residents Affected - Few the hospital on 4/30/25 at 1:49 a.m., however, Resident #10's blood pressure decreased again en route to
the nursing facility and she was again transported back to the hospital, where she was observed for an additional two hours with no additional interventions needed.
A hospice nurse progress note, dated 4/30/25, documented Resident #10 had experienced a medication administration error the night of 4/29/25 and the resident had been transferred to the hospital. The progress note documented Resident #10's blood pressure was 73/33 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) on 4/30/25. The resident was speaking clearly and said she was doing fine.
The 4/30/25 physician's progress note, documented at 11:42 a.m., revealed the physician visited Resident #10 on 4/30/25 due to a medication error on 4/29/25. The physician documented a medication error occurred, hospice was notified and Resident #10 was stable at the time of the progress note.
The NHA provided the facility's investigation of the medication error on 5/7/25 at 10:38 a.m.
The investigation documented that on 4/29/25, RN #3 administered the wrong medications to Resident #10. Resident #10's representative was present at the time of administration. After RN #3 returned to the medication cart, she realized she had given Resident #10 another resident's medications. Resident #10's representative then said that she found it odd that RN #3 had mentioned a blood pressure medication. RN #3 notified the provider, who advised her to obtain the resident's vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate). The resident had a decrease in blood pressure and her respirations increased. The physician ordered Resident #10 to be administered Midodrine (used to treat low blood pressure) to counteract the blood pressure medication. The resident was then sent to the emergency room , was given fluids and monitored. The resident returned to the facility the following day.
The investigation documented RN #3 was interviewed. RN #3 said she had not worked on Resident #10's unit previously and the medications given to Resident #10 were ordered for another resident (Resident #20) whose name was next to Resident #10's on the MAR. RN #3 said Resident#10 had poor hearing and the representative did not correct RN #3 with the correct name when RN #3 said the other resident's name prior to administering the wrong medications to Resident #10.
The investigation documented RN #3 was educated on medication administration. Following the incident, the director of nursing (DON) completed a medication administration observation of RN #3. All residents' charts were audited for accuracy, including resident identification and their room identification. It was determined that the root cause of the error was related to Resident #10's picture missing in her chart as well as her name outside of her room. It was identified that a total of 17 residents either did not have a picture in the EMR or a name by their door.

F 0760 The investigation documented the interventions that were put into place to prevent a recurrence included RN #3 received formal disciplinary action, was educated on medication administration and was observed Level of Harm - Actual harm administering medications. All nursing staff were educated and also observed administering medications.
The admissions coordinator was educated regarding the importance of obtaining and updating residents' Residents Affected - Few identification including adding pictures to the EMR and door identification. An admission audit was updated to include the identification information completed.
The conclusion of the investigation included there was a deviation from the facility's policy and procedure and multiple facility systems failed, which included Resident #10's name and identification was not properly obtained prior to administering medications. The incident was substantiated as the medication error resulted
in Resident #10's hospitalization .
IV. Staff interviews
Licensed practical nurse (LPN) #1 was interviewed on 5/6/25 at 10:40 a.m. LPN #1 said Resident #10 had no previous diagnoses of hypertension or hypotension (high or low blood pressures). LPN #1 said Resident #10 did not have physician's orders for blood pressure medications. LPN #1 said Resident #10's blood pressure readings varied, but usually averaged 110/60 mmHg. LPN #1 said Resident #10's blood pressures had been lower over the past week.
The DON was interviewed on 5/6/25 at 11:10 a.m. The DON said Resident #10 was administered Lisinopril 20 mg, Metformin 500 mg, Seroquel 100 mg and ramelteon 8 mg in error on 4/29/25. The DON said Resident #10 did not have physician's orders for any of those medications. The DON said Resident #20 should have received the medications given to Resident #10 and did receive the medications later that day.
The hospice RN was interviewed on 5/6/25 at 11:19 a.m. The hospice RN said Resident #10's condition was stable and she was eating well. The hospice RN said she was notified that the facility administered the wrong medications, including Lisinopril, to Resident #10 on 4/29/25. She said Resident #10's blood pressure was usually 85/65 mmHg. The hospice RN said she saw Resident #10 on 4/30/25, and her blood pressure was still low at 73/33 mmHg.
The rounding physician was interviewed on 5/7/25 at 10:50 a.m. The rounding physician said RN #3 contacted her after she had administered the wrong medications to Resident #10 in error on 4/29/25. The rounding physician said RN #3 told her, that she called Resident #10 another resident's name, and the resident's name she mentioned could also have been used or interpreted as a term of endearment. The rounding physician said she instructed RN #3 to monitor Resident #10, including her vital signs, which included blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory monitoring.
The physician (PHY) said she told RN #3 to inform the hospice agency of the error. The PHY said Resident #10's blood pressure dropped and she was transferred to the hospital. The PHY said the resident was awake and talking the next morning, after she returned from the hospital. The PHY said the DON investigated and then ensured all residents' names were on their doors and their pictures were in their EMRs. The PHY said
she thought the likelihood for the medications to cause a significant drop in Resident #10's blood pressure was low and she was surprised Resident #10's blood pressure dropped as significantly as it did. The PHY said the ramelteon may have played a role with the Lisinopril and caused Resident #10's blood pressure to decrease. The PHY said the one time dose administered of Metformin and Seroquel were not of concern for
a possibility of contributing to a condition change.

The pharmacist said he was contacted by nursing staff on 4/29/25 after the medication error. The pharmacist said he told the nurse to monitor Resident #10's blood pressure. The pharmacist said Resident Residents Affected - Few #10 already had lower blood pressures and was on hospice services. The pharmacist said she was concerned Resident #10's blood pressure would drop and she might be more sedated from the Lisinopril and ramelteon. The pharmacist said the starting dose for Lisinopril was usually much lower than 20 mg and the dose could begin as low as 2.5 mg. The pharmacist said for this reason, he knew Resident #10's blood pressure was going to drop, it was just a question of how low it would drop. The pharmacist said Resident #10's blood pressure dropped low enough to require her to be transferred to the hospital.
LPN #3 was interviewed on 5/7/25 at 12:10 p.m. LPN #3 said sometimes newer residents did not have their names on the doors. She said this had gotten better recently.
The speech therapist (ST) was interviewed on 5/7/25 at 12:20 p.m. The ST said the lack of names on residents' doors worsened in September 2024. The ST said recently she had noticed residents' names were more consistently labeled on the doors.
The DON was interviewed a second time on 5/7/25 at 12:34 p.m. The DON said it was possible the name used by RN #3 to identify the resident for medication administration was misinterpreted by Resident #10's family as a term of endearment. The DON said RN #3 notified her of the medication administration error on
the night of the incident (4/29/25). The DON said RN #3 should have followed the six rights of medication administration and ensured she identified the resident prior to medication administration. The DON said RN #3 monitored Resident #10 after the error and Resident #10 was transferred to the hospital when her blood pressure did not respond to the physician's ordered medication to counteract the Lisinopril medication. The DON said Resident #10 was monitored after her return from the hospital and no further interventions were required beyond encouragement of increased fluid intake.
The DON said during the investigation, she discovered that RN #3 was not familiar with the residents on the unit and there was not a picture of Resident #10 in the EMR, which would assist with identification. The DON said after the incident on 4/29/25, all nurses were provided one-to-one medication administration education which included review of the medication administration policy which focused on the six rights of medication administration, including the identification process for each resident. The DON said the audit tool for resident admissions was updated to include adding photo identification in the EMR and ensuring the correct names
on resident doors for both admission and after any resident room changes. The DON said the admission coordinator was provided additional education to ensure his prompt attention during residents' admission to ensuring pictures and door identification were added. The DON said she was conducting weekly audits of the photo identification in the residents' EMRs and the names on resident doors.

RN #3 was interviewed on 5/7/25 at 2:40 p.m. RN #3 said she was unfamiliar with the residents and administered the wrong medications to Resident #10 on 4/29/25. RN #3 said she went into the wrong resident's room. RN #3 said she did not confirm the room number or ask the resident or representative the resident's name, though the resident was not familiar to her. RN #3 said she called Resident #10 by the first name of the resident who was to receive the medication (Resident #20). RN #3 said the resident and the representative did not correct RN #3 when she said the wrong name. RN #3 said she recognized the error immediately after leaving Resident #10's room. RN #3 said she contacted the resident and representative,
the physician, the DON and hospice. She said she monitored Resident #10 for a change of condition, including her blood pressure readings. RN #3 said Resident #10 did not want to go to the hospital, however her representative encouraged the resident to go to the hospital as her blood pressure decreased to 58/34 mmHg. RN #3 said Resident #10 was transferred to the hospital for evaluation. RN #3 said she should have ensured it was the correct resident prior to administering the medications. RN #3 said she looked at the wrong room number on her report sheet. RN #3 said it would have been helpful if Resident #10's picture was
in the EMR and her name was on the door.
RN #3 said after the incident, she received an inservice about the six rights of medication administration and
she was observed during administration of medications. RN #3 said she had recently had issues with her concentration and had not felt as cognitively sharp, and it was helpful for her to not be assigned to different units for her shifts. RN #3 said she was now assigned to the same units for each shift where she knew residents better.

F 0760 The DON was interviewed a third time on 5/8/25 at 1:35 p.m. The DON said she recently discovered RN #3's concern regarding her concentration and cognition and the DON had developed a performance improvement Level of Harm - Actual harm plan (PIP) to ensure RN #3 was not more likely than any other nursing staff to make another medication error. The DON said the plan included RN #3 would report to the DON any cognitive symptoms that might Residents Affected - Few affect performance and the DON would address the concern by finding a replacement for RN #3 on the particular shift. The DON said she was confident the disciplinary action and education provided had impacted RN #3 and caused her to be much more cautious and attentive to the requirements of medication administration. The DON said RN #3 would also be audited during medication administrations to include three to five resident observations weekly. The DON said RN #3 would remain assigned to the 400 and 500 units, where she was most comfortable and knew the residents she was assigned.
The medical director (MD) was interviewed on 5/8/25 at 2:50 p.m. The MD said he was aware that Resident #10 received another resident's medication on 4/29/25. The MD said he was not surprised Resident #10's blood pressure dropped, as her blood pressure typically ran lower and her status as a hospice resident may have made her more sensitive to the medications. The MD said all nursing staff received education regarding medication administration as the most important.
