F 0609 On 2/11/25 at 12:01 PM, the surveyor interviewed the Licensed Practical Nurse/Unit Manager (LPN/UM #1) who stated the oncoming nurse, and the outgoing nurse should both count the narcotics and sign the book to Level of Harm - Minimal harm or ensure that the narcotic count was right, and the medications had not been compromised. LPN/UM #1 potential for actual harm further stated that there was a recent problem with an agency nurse who signed out narcotics, but it was questionable whether the residents had received them. LPN/UM #1 stated that the incident was reported and Residents Affected - Few was investigated by the Director of Nursing (DON).
On 2/11/25 at 1:36 PM, the surveyor requested and received a copy of a Long-Term Care Reportable Event Survey that was reported to the New Jersey Department of Health on 10/4/24, for an event that occurred on 9/28/24 at 7:00 PM, six (6) days after the event, and detailed that there was a loss or theft of narcotics on the Rehab 1 Nursing Unit.
A review of a narrative report detailed that on 9/28/24, it was noted that three (3) residents had narcotics removed and signed off from their narcotic inventory record, and none of the doses were signed off on their medication administration record (MAR). Two of the residents denied being medicated for pain and stated
they were not medicated for pain by the nurse on this day. It was also noted that on 9/23/24, three doses of medication were removed from the inventory, however, were not signed off as administered and the resident stated that he/she has not taken anything for pain since 9/22/24. It was suspected that the same nurse removed these doses from inventory and changed the date and forged someone else's signature. The nurse was placed on the do not return list and it was reported to her agency.
Further review of the Long-Term Care Reportable Event Survey revealed the Office of the Ombudsman for
the Institutionalized Elderly was notified of the event on 10/4/24 at 4:45 PM, six days after the event occurred.
Further review of the investigation included a Report of Theft or Loss of Controlled Substances (Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Form 106) which detailed that there were fourteen Oxycodone HCL immediate release (IR) 5 MG tablets reported stolen and one Tramadol HCL 50 MG tablet was reported stolen.
On 2/11/25 at 2:06 PM, the surveyor interviewed the DON who stated that LPN #5 and LPN #6 reported odd behavior from LPN #4 (an agency nurse) which included hyperactivity to the supervisor. The DON stated that LPN #4, was observed down the hall passing medication past the shift change and had the narcotic inventory book opened, as she looked in the computer for a long time. The DON stated that the narcotic inventory was accurate when LPN #6 and LPN #4 counted at 7 PM. The DON stated that LPN #5 noted that narcotic medications were signed out on the time that she worked that were not her signature and she stated
the forged signature raised a suspicion. The DON stated that the first instance was obvious for Resident #199, because the resident denied receipt of the medication and a review of the MAR did not reflect receipt.
The DON stated that the resident stated that their last dose was on 9/22/25.
At that time, the DON reviewed Resident #199's Individual Narcotic Record (INR) for Oxycodone IR 5 MG tablets which indicated that on 9/23/24 at 7 AM, on 9/23/24 at 11:30 AM, and on 9/23/24 at 4:00 PM, two tablets were signed out by someone other than LPN #5 who was assigned to the resident on this date, and
the signature did not belong to LPN #5, or anyone who worked on that date. The DON further stated that LPN #4 was assigned to Resident #199 on 9/28/24 and signed out two tablets of Oxycodone IR 5 MG to the resident at both 12:20 PM and at 6:12 PM, for a total of ten tablets.

On 2/12/25 at 2:26 PM, in the presence of the Licensed Nursing Home Administrator (LNHA) and survey team, the DON stated that she did not know when she was required to notify the NJDOH and the Office of
the Ombudsman for the Institutionalized Elderly of a suspected and alleged drug diversion. The DON stated that it was not reported right away because of a delayed response on behalf LPN #4. The DON stated that
she was unable to immediately confirm diversion and wanted to interview LPN #4 because she was not sure if it were actual diversion, and did not want to create a false report. The LNHA stated that she was not sure of what the required reporting timeframe was for notifying both the NJDOH and the Office of the Ombudsman for the Institutionalized Elderly of an alleged or suspected drug diversion.

1. On [DATE REDACTED] at 10:36 AM, the surveyor, in the presence of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #5, observed that the wound treatment cart was not locked. When interviewed, LPN #5 stated that she had just completed
a wound treatment and had forgotten to lock the cart. LPN #5 stated that it was important to lock the Wound Treatment Cart when finished to ensure that no one accessed it.
2. On [DATE REDACTED] at 10:37 AM, in the top drawer of the medication cart, the surveyor observed a Lidocaine Patch (a topical pain relief patch) that was previously opened and was dated ,d+[DATE REDACTED]. When interviewed, LPN #5 stated that the Lidocaine Patch was endorsed by the ,d+[DATE REDACTED] nurse because the resident did not want
it at the time it was last scheduled. LPN #5 was unable to state which resident the Lidocaine Patch was ordered for.
3. On [DATE REDACTED] at 10:45 AM, the surveyor, in the presence of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #5, reviewed the shift-to-shift Controlled Drugs-Count Record and the surveyor observed that on [DATE REDACTED] at 7:00 PM, the Nurse on Signature (oncoming nurse) was blank and the Nurse Off Signature (outgoing nurse) was signed by LPN #5. There was no further documentation on the form to indicate that the shift-to-shift narcotic count was performed on [DATE REDACTED]. LPN #5 stated that when she came in the outgoing nurse reviewed the Controlled Drug-Count Record and the oncoming nurse reviewed the narcotic count. LPN #5 stated that on [DATE REDACTED], she was the oncoming nurse and LPN #6 was the outgoing nurse who had forgotten to sign. LPN #5 stated that today both she and LPN #6 had completed the shift-to-shift narcotic count, but they had both forgotten to sign. LPN #5 further stated that there were no reported discrepancies identified in the narcotic count.

F 0755 Further review of the Controlled Drugs-Count Record revealed that on [DATE REDACTED], at 7:00 AM, the Nurse on Signature was blank, and a signature was noted in the space allotted for the Nurse Off Signature. On [DATE REDACTED] Level of Harm - Minimal harm or at 7:00 AM, the Nurse on Signature was blank, and a signature was noted in the space allotted for the Nurse potential for actual harm Off Signature. On [DATE REDACTED] at 7:00 PM, a signature was noted in the space allotted for the Nurse on Signature and the Nurse Off was blank. LPN #5 stated that it looks like they forgot to sign. LPN #5 stated that both Residents Affected - Some nurses should sign the Controlled Drugs-Count Record when they are finished counting.
4. At that time, in the presence of LPN #5, the surveyor reviewed the controlled substance logs for the Rehab 1 Nursing Unit medication cart and noted the following: Resident #201's prescription card (BINGO card, medication packaged in a blister package with cardboard backing) containing Tramadol HCL 50 MG (Half Tab=25 MG) tablets (opioid pain reliever) contained 20 tablets, but the declining inventory log indicated that there were 21 tablets remaining. LPN #5 stated that she must have gotten distracted and had forgotten to sign it out. LPN #5 stated that it was important to sign the medication out on the declining inventory sheet at
the time of administration to ensure that the narcotic count was correct. LPN #5 stated that she did sign the medication out as administered on the resident's Medication Administration Record (MAR).
Resident #201's prescription card containing Pregabalin 75 MG Capsule (used to treat nerve pain) contained 23 capsules, but the declining inventory log indicated that there were 24 capsules remaining. LPN #5 stated that she must have gotten distracted and had also forgotten to sign the dosages out.
On [DATE REDACTED] at 12:01 PM, the surveyor interviewed Licensed Practical Nurse/Unit Manager (LPN/UM) #1 who stated that the oncoming nurse should count the narcotics, and the outgoing nurse should review the Controlled Drugs-Count Record Book to make sure that the narcotic count is right, and the medications are not compromised. LPN/UM #1 stated that the nurses were required to sign the book when they come in and when they go out. LPN/UM #1 stated that the Consultant Pharmacist came into the facility monthly and audited the narcotic book. LPN/UM #1 stated that the narcotic count has always been correct. LPN/UM # 1 stated that she would think that the nurses had not counted if they had not signed the Controlled Drugs-Count Record and narcotics could be missing.
At that time, LPN/UM #1 further stated that narcotics should be signed for when they were removed from the medication cart. LPN/UM #1 stated that it was good practice because the narcotic count may be off if the nurse did not sign the book and only signed the Medication Administration Record (MAR). At that time, LPN/UM #1 further stated that the wound treatment cart should be locked at all times so that patients or families can not take anything out of it.
On [DATE REDACTED] at 1:52 PM, the surveyor interviewed the Director of Nursing (DON) who stated that the nurses should count their controlled drug in the medication cart at the end of the shift for accuracy of narcotics. The DON further stated that the Unit Manager was responsible to review the narcotic book weekly for signatures being captured and to ensure accuracy of the documentation.
At that time, the DON further stated that narcotic medication should be signed out upon removing it from the medication cart in the book. The DON stated that it was not sufficient to just sign the medication out on the Medication Administration Record (MAR) because you are required to sign the medication out when it is removed. The DON stated that the mismanagement of narcotics or missing dosages were a concern if narcotics were not signed out from the cart at the time of removal.

Residents Affected - Some
On [DATE REDACTED] at 11:30 AM, the DON provided the surveyor with a Medication Pass Observation dated form dated [DATE REDACTED], which revealed that LPN #5 had not received a medication pass observation on that date because the former CP indicated that LPN #5 had finished passing medications early due to a low census, and instead received a medication pass in-service with LPN #5 and reviewed administration of all types of meds. The facility failed to provide the surveyor with documented evidence that LPN #5 had received a medication pass observation when requested.
On [DATE REDACTED] at 2:41 PM, the DON stated that she was not aware that the CP was not doing medication pass
observations at the facility and that they needed to be requested.
At that time, the DON further stated that she was responsible to ensure that LPN/UM #1 completed the narcotic record review and had not informed the LPN/UM #1 that it was her responsibility to do so. The DON further stated that she was not aware of the frequency that the CP performed narcotic record review.
