The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to ensure a resident was free from contraband drug use, or the facility failed to complete a thorough investigation after resident was found unresponsive.”
The resident’s Care Plan indicated that the patient “had a craving for illicit substances and stated that he/she would smoke marijuana.” The state investigators reviewed a Nurse’s Note dated June 17, 2018. The note indicated that the resident “was found lying on the ground and not responsive to verbal stimuli.”
The nursing staff transferred the resident to the hospital. At the time that the resident had been found, three other residents were standing near the resident in the courtyard. One of the residents told the Assistant Director of Nursing that they had witnessed the unresponsive resident “purchasing weed on June 17, 2018.”
The nursing home “failed to ensure the Plan of Care was revised after [the resident] was identified as distributing contraband.” The facility Director of Nursing said that when the resident goes on a leave of absence, they “always have a search completed upon return since June 17, 2018.”
However, during an interview with the Security Director at the facility, “the security desk had no list of residents requiring searches upon return from a leave of absence.” The Director said that “security was directed to [monitor this resident] highly, due to a history of bringing contraband back into the facility after a leave of absence.”
