Plain-language summary
A routine inspection on February 24-26, 2026 found multiple medication administration failures at this facility, including doses of bone and heart medications not given to residents due to pharmacy communication breakdowns and missing heart rate checks before administering blood pressure medication, failure to notify a physician of a resident's repeated medication refusals, and numerous missed doses of blood pressure, iron, multivitamin, and sleep medications when staff were not informed that supplies had run out. The facility's daily audit system for catching medication errors was not being performed due to unclear staff responsibility and time constraints. The facility submitted a plan to correct these deficiencies.
“The facility failed to ensure a safe medication delivery system was in place and that medications were administered as prescribed for 2 of 11 sampled residents (Residents 3 and 4). Resident 3 did not receive alendronate on prescribed Fridays (12/05/2025 and 12/12/2025) due to packaging confusion. Resident 4's prescribed lisinopril lacked required heart rate documentation before administration, and no heart rate was obtained prior to giving the medication.”
“The facility failed to ensure proper documentation and procedures for medication refusals. Staff did not adequately review medication administration records for exceptions, with one RN stating they did not review the exceptions log due to time constraints.”
