Based on clinical record review, policy review, and staff interviews, the facility failed to store and/or handle controlled medications in accordance with professional standards to ensure medications were secure for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for the storage of controlled substances (Resident #2). The facility reported a census of 46 residents.Findings:Resident #2's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 6/5/25, identified a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score as 14, indicating intact cognition. The MDS included diagnoses of anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, and hallucinations.The facility policy Controlled Substances updated 10/19/22, directed when a nurse received a controlled medication, the nurse needed to fill out the top of the controlled drug administration record including the first line on the section that counted the medications. They did this to indicate who signed in the medication from the pharmacy.Resident #2's August Medication Administration Record (MAR) listed an order dated 7/14/25 for lorazepam (used to treat anxiety) 0.5 milligrams (mg) twice daily for anxiety. A Packing Slip, dated 8/22/25, listed lorazepam 0.5 mg, quantity of 60, signed by Staff D, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Above the signature, the document stated, by signing below, you acknowledge that the items above have been received.On 10/8/25 at 4:11 PM, Staff F, Registered Nurse (RN), stated on 8/23/25, she reordered Resident #2's lorazepam because they only had around 2 pills remaining. She stated the pharmacy faxed back they sent an entire card the day before. Staff F stated they searched every drawer of every cart but couldn't locate the medication. She stated when she checked in narcotics, she put them directly into the cart and filled out a sheet of paper with the medication quantity.On 10/8/25 at 4:21 PM, Staff E, LPN, stated (on 8/22/25), when she arrived for her shift, she received report from the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON).
About 10 minutes later, Staff D gave her 2 of Resident #2's medications, none of them narcotics. She placed the medications in the medication cart. She didn't receive any narcotic sheets.On 10/9/25 at 8:29 AM, Staff D stated the night in question, she checked in all of the medications individually, then gave Resident #2's medications to the ADON because she thought he moved to her hall. The ADON gave the medications to Staff E, who was actually Resident #2's nurse. She stated the next day, she got a call from
the morning nurse who said they didn't have the medication there and the pharmacy said they delivered it
the night before. Staff D stated they didn't have documentation she gave the medication to the ADON. She stated since the incident, if they hand medications to another nurse, they sign at that time.On 10/9/25 at 8:49 AM, the ADON stated Staff D accidentally gave her medications for the other hall. She gave them back to Staff D, then Staff E placed the medications in the correct cart. She reported the medications as Resident #2's clozapine (a sedative, not a controlled substance) and she didn't think Resident #2's lorazepam came in the pharmacy delivery.On 10/9/25 at 9:57 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated she didn't know for sure what happened with the missing medication. She added that possibly the nurse was just nervous and accidentally checked the medication in. She stated after they checked in narcotics, they should place them in the locked box themselves. She stated after the incident, they now have 2 nurses sign
in to receive narcotics.
