“Two staff members (Staff Member A and Staff Member B) were hired and started work on their first day without criminal background checks being completed prior to their start dates, in violation of OAPSA requirements.”

“Staff Member C and Staff Member D administered prescription medications to residents in July 2025 without meeting any of the criteria required to administer medications (licensed professional, supervised student nurse, or staff with completed medication administration training).”

“A resident prescribed comfort medications from hospice did not have those medications listed on the July medication administration record.”

“Medication administration records lacked proper documentation: one resident's bedtime dose was not actually administered but was initialed on the MAR as given, and another resident's pain medication was signed out on the narcotics log but lacked initials on the MAR indicating administration.”

“Prescriber orders were not followed: one resident did not receive a prescribed bedtime dose (tablets remained in blister pack), and another resident's pain medication was administered at intervals less than the prescribed 6-hour intervals (given at 09:43 AM, 12:29 PM, 06:30 PM, and 09:00 PM).”

“The facility failed to report a medication interaction incident to the Department within 24 hours. A resident was prescribed Paxlovid on 8/22/24, and the pharmacist notified staff of a serious interaction with the resident's standing medication Multaq on the same day. Both medications were administered through 8/26/24, but the incident was not reported to the Department until 8/29/24, three days late.”

“A resident was administered two medications with a known severe adverse interaction (Paxlovid and Multaq) from 8/22/24 to 8/26/24. Although the pharmacist notified staff of the interaction on 8/22/24 and recommended the physician be contacted to hold the Multaq, staff failed to follow through. The resident was hospitalized with severe symptoms including lethargy, decreased appetite, and dangerously low blood pressure (58/26), and subsequently passed away. This constitutes neglect.”

“The home failed to report an incident to the Department within 24 hours. On May 6, 2024, staff discovered that a resident was wearing two pairs of incontinent products placed by night shift staff to avoid providing incontinence care, but this incident was not reported to the Department.”

“Three residents did not receive required assistance with activities of daily living, specifically changing incontinent products during overnight shifts. Staff placed multiple incontinent products on residents (2-3 products each) to avoid providing incontinence care during night shifts, contrary to each resident's individualized assessment and support plan.”

“Residents were neglected and mistreated by night shift staff who placed multiple incontinent products on them (2-3 products each) as a method to avoid providing required incontinence care during overnight shifts. This constituted neglect and abuse of residents under their care.”

“An Amazon Alexa device was located in the lobby area without any posted signage notifying residents, families, and staff of its presence or use, and the home had no policy governing such audio/video devices.”

“Two new staff members did not receive required fire safety and emergency preparedness orientation on their first day of work, including evacuation procedures, staff duties during emergencies, designated meeting places, smoking safety procedures, fire extinguisher locations and use, smoke detectors, fire alarms, and emergency services notification. The home could not provide documentation of the training content.”
