**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, and staff interviews, the facility failed to report alleged violations which could constitute abuse or neglect to the State Survey Agency for 1, (Resident #99), of 3 sampled residents. The findings included:Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #99 was an [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia, atrial fibrillation, anxiety, aspiration, muscle weakness, depression, pain, dysphagia, restless leg syndrome, sleep apnea, and hemiplegia. The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documented the resident was dependent for all care and was non-ambulatory. The MDS noted the residents' cognitive skills for daily decision making were intact. On 8/28/25 Resident #99 became unresponsive at the facility and emergency medical services (EMS) was contacted. Review of the nursing progress notes documented on 8/28/25 at 2:27 p.m., Resident #99 was observed unresponsive in his wheelchair sitting in the common area of the unit. His breathing was shallow, and he was returned to bed with the use of a mechanical lift. EMS was notified. Oxygen was applied due to shallow breathing. Resident #99 was sent to the local emergency room (ER) for evaluation. Review of the hospital records revealed EMS had administered Narcan (medication used to reverse an opioid overdose) to Resident #99. Once in the ER a drug screen was completed and documented the resident had tested positive for Fentanyl (a powerful synthetic opioid) that can treat severe pain. Review of the residents medications included: Medications- MiraLAX 17 grams daily, Tylenol 325 milligrams (mg) 2 tablets every 6 hours as needed, aspirin 81 mg daily, amiodarone 200 mg daily, Montelukast 10 mg at HS, Sennosides 8.6 mg one tab at bedtime, Trazodone 50 mg at bedtime, Lidocaine 4% topical patch daily, Plavix 75 mg daily, Pepcid 40 mg at bedtime, Losartan 25 mg daily, metoprolol succinate ER 100 mg twice a day, and Pentoxifylline 400 mg ER three times a day.There were no physician orders for a Fentanyl patch and no orders for opioid medication. On 9/3/25 at 10:30 a.m., in a phone interview with Resident #99's representative said he was contacted by the hospital to report they did a toxicology screen, and his father had tested positive for fentanyl. He said his father never took opioids in his life and had no access to them. He said his father never had access to any opioids and did not know how they got into his system. On 9/3/25 at 10:49 a.m., in an interview, the Assistant Executive Director (AED) said he had a visit by a detective from the local police department telling him the resident had tested positive for Fentanyl, but she had no additional information. He said he contacted the hospital multiple times, but they said they were not able to provide him with any information. We started an internal investigation, but we have not been able to find anything. On 9/3/25 at 11:10 a.m., in a interview the Executive Director provided this writer with a copy of the Investigation, that was a 1/2 sheet of typed paper and said, I think we should discuss this. She said the facility had spoken to the hospital and received no information. The assumption is something could have happened, but it is difficult to make a determination. On 9/3/25 at 11:20 a.m., the AED said, we had one other person in the facility was on a Fentanyl patch that was applied two days prior to the incident. Following this report on Resident #99 we did a full house assessment and no residents had any changes in their status. The Fentanyl patch was on a totally different part of the facility on a different cart, with different staff. Review of the investigation conducted by and provided by the facility documented:1. 8/28 resident was transferred to the hospital following an unresponsive episode around 2:12 p.m.2. On 8/29/25 around 3:30 p.m., a detective arrived at the facility to discuss the incident. Reported that the resident tested positive for fentanyl on 8/28, detective reported that the results came back at 5:11 p.m., on 8/28/25, resident left facility before 2:30 p.m.3. On 8/29 the Director of Nursing (DON) reviewed narcotic disposal and dispense sheets to verify all medications in order. Verified narcotic disposal and procedure is being followed.4. On 8/29 the DON and nursing team completed a full head to toe assessment on all residents.5. 8/29 DON completed in-service with education with nursing team throughout the weekend on drug disposal policy.6. 8/30 DON and Admin met with weekend supervisor and on shift providing additional education.7. 9/2/25 Detective returned to the facility and met with the clinical team on shift 8/28/25 interviewing them.8. 8/29 DON completed in-service with education with nursing team throughout the weekend on drug disposal policy.9. 9/2/25 the Detective returned to the facility and met with the clinical team on shift 8/28/25 interviewing them. On 9/3/25 at 11:75 a.m., in an interview Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff A said the resident was sitting in the common area and was yelling he wanted to go to bed but the CNA 's (certified nursing assistant) were putting other residents to bed. He had therapy and when they came to take him down to the therapy room, he was unresponsive. The CNA's were hoping the therapists would put him back to bed when they were done but when they came to get him he was unresponsive.Therapy called for myself and the nurse who works with me. We tried to arouse him; he was breathing but shallow. Staff B went with them to put him in bed, and I went to check his code status and call 911. They gave us instructions to lay him flat and elevate his feet, remove the pillow. His oxygen saturations were good but we did start oxygen because his breathing was shallow. It was roughly about 10 minutes between the time he was found and the time he went out of the facility with EMS. He was his normal self, and he was awake when EMS came and they transferred him. They did not say what was wrong with him and I did not see them give him any medications. He was awake once we laid him down. Once they leave the facility, they usually transfer them right away. He never had an issue like this before. He had no opioids he had no narcotics. I gave him medications but no opioids, he did not have any. On 9/3/25 at 12:17 p.m., in an interview Registered Nurse (RN) Staff B said I was here the day the resident was sent to the ER. We were at the nursing station when the therapist came and said someone was unresponsive and we went to the common area. The resident was in the w/c in front of the television. He was not responding, and I did the sternal rub, his eyes rolled back, and he did the puff breathing. I said let's get him to his room and we were checking his status. The aides got vital signs and we got the crash cart. I applied oxygen and we placed him in bed in the Trendelenburg position. He was in and out, of responding. LPN Staff A was calling 911. I left to get the transfer papers once he started to respond. I did not see EMS administer any medications to the resident. Honestly, once they arrived, I moved out of the way so they could do their job and take over. On 9/3/25 at 1:17 p.m., in an interview the DON, said I was there the day EMS came and the resident was unresponsive. His pupils were small, but I would not say they were pinpoint. I'm a cardiac nurse and the resident has a cardiac history, he had a syncope episode. When he got into the room he was responding, yelling and confused but that was his usual. On 9/3/25 at 1:25 p.m., in an interview the AED said the resident did not leave the facility. He had no other visitors and no appointments. I did not interview the staff because when the officer came, she conducted all the interviews while I was there. I have no written interviews, I did not do it, the police have them. On 9/3/25 at 2:00 p.m., during an exit interview, the Executive Director argued that she did not feel the event required reporting because they did not know where the fentanyl came from.
