Findings include: 1. A review of R1's medical record revealed an order dated January 13, 2026, which stated, "Please DC Senna and Mucinex per patient request." 2.

E1 reported R1's doctor was contacted but never responded. E1 reported R1 finally switched to a different medical provider, and it was the new provider who discontinued the medications. 5. In an exit interview with E1, the findings were reviewed and no additional information was provided.”

“Based on documentation review, record review, and interview, when a resident had an emergency resulting in a resident needing medical services, the manager failed to ensure a caregiver immediately notified the resident's emergency contact and primary care provider, for one of two sampled residents.

Online research at Medlineplus.gov revealed a pulse oximetry recommendation which stated, "Contact your provider if your oxygen saturation level is 92% or lower. If it falls to 88% or lower, seek immediate medical attention." 2. A review of R1's medical record revealed daily vital records dated December 2025.

The deficient practice posed a risk if the employee was unable to meet a resident's needs during an emergency. Findings include: 1. A review of the facility's policies and procedures revealed a policy titled, "CPR and First Aid Policy and Procedure." This policy stated, "A manager of this facility: Shall ensure upon hiring that an employee or volunteer has undertaken a cardiopulmonary and first aid training for applicable employees and volunteers and must be able to demonstrate the ability to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation...CPR and 1st Aid Training shall not be completed on the Internet as this is not hands on." 2.
