This failure could place the residents at risk of gaining access to unlocked medical supplies and medications which were not prescribed to them and could cause them harm.The findings included: Observation on 12/29/2025 at 8:19 AM revealed an unlocked treatment cart belonging to RN-A parked in the A Hall with no nurses or other staff around it. RN-A was in a room with a resident. There were residents noted to be ambulating in and down the halls. The main treatment cart lock was popped out, and all drawers were able to be opened and accessed. The main treatment cart was full of treatment supplies and treatment medications, to include scissors, needles, multiple containers of liquids, as well as a medication cup filled with a thick, white substance with a wooden spoon in it. Attempted to interview RN-A multiple times on 12/29/2025. She was performing treatments on residents at time the unlocked treatment cart was identified. RN-A left work early, as it was not her normal day or hours to work. Attempted to call RN-A multiple times on 12/29/2025 (called at 12:55 PM, texted at 12:56 PM, called at 5:01 PM) with no returned call or text from RN-A. In an interview on 12/29/2025 at 10:22 AM, the DON stated it was RN-A who worked on the main treatment cart today and did the resident treatments, and it was RN-A who left the main treatment cart unlocked.

She stated if the carts were left unlocked residents could have gotten a hold of medications or supplies which could have caused them harm.
