Six of 33 sampled residents described the same problem.

A physician had ordered the medication in July 2025.

Inspectors visited the Portland nursing facility on April 24, 2026, responding to a complaint, and left with nine deficiencies on the books.

Three ventilators were involved in the resident's care between March 2 and March 14.

The staff member told the resident, identified in inspection records as R15, "Well how about I make you wait for the next shift then." R15 waited another hour.

The incident was documented during a complaint inspection on April 20, 2026.

No suspension was put in place.

That last citation, recorded under tag F0880, is the kind that tends to get buried in regulatory summaries.

That is what inspectors found when they visited Hillside Health Care Center on April 24, 2026, responding to a complaint.

The resident, identified in inspection records only as CR #3, was admitted to the facility on April 29, 2026, around 2:00 p.m.

The deficiency, cited under a category covering resident rights, was one of nine violations inspectors recorded during the April 24 complaint inspection.
