This was identified for one (Resident #58) of four residents observed during Medication Administration. Specifically, Resident #58 had a Physician's order for 150 milligrams of Topiramate (a medication to treat migraine headaches) daily. From 6/4/2024 to 6/25/2024, multiple medication nurses did not ensure the resident received the correct dosage of Topiramate 150 milligrams. Multiple nurses administered 100 milligrams and inaccurately documented that they administered 150 milligrams of Topiramate, 1.5 tablets. The finding is: The facility's policy titled Medication Administration and Documentation-General, dated 1/2024, documented that medication administration and documentation shall occur in a timely and accurate manner.

This is the beginning of the surveyor’s statement, cut to keep the page readable — the full 2567 continues past this point and often ends with the findings that matter most, such as whether an immediate jeopardy was removed before the surveyors left. The complete statement of deficiencies is a public record: request it from your state survey agency, or ask the home for its 2567 and plan of correction — it must make them available to residents and families.

Based on observation, record review, and interviews during the Recertification Survey initiated on 6/23/2025 and completed on 6/27/2025, the facility did not ensure that it maintained all patient care equipment in a safe operating condition. This was identified for one (Resident #161) of two residents reviewed for Pressure Ulcers. Specifically, Resident #161 had a Stage 3 pressure ulcer (full-thickness skin loss, where the damage extends into the subcutaneous tissue) and had a care plan intervention for the use of an air mattress. There were multiple observations of the low-pressure light flashing on the air mattress pump before the facility staff replaced the air mattress. The finding is: The facility's undated policy titled Use of Low Air Loss Systems/Air Mattress documented that low air loss systems are medical devices designed to prevent and manage pressure ulcers by providing air circulation to reduce pressure and moisture on the skin. Low-air-loss systems should be installed according to the manufacturer's guidelines and checked by facility staff for compliance with safety…
