8345	COOK SENIOR LIVING CENTER	115655	706 NORTH PARRISH AVE .	ADEL	GA	31620	2012-02-23	431	D	0	1	028H11	Based on observation, record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to properly store controlled medications in a separately locked compartment on one (North) of two halls. Findings include: Review of the facility's Policy and Procedure for Controlled Medications revealed that controlled drugs were to be placed in the locked controlled drug cabinet in the medication rooms. However, nursing staff failed to secure a controlled drug in the North Hall medication room. During an observation of the North Hall medication storage room on 2/23/12 at 12:00 p.m., there was a bubble pack of 30 tablets of Vicodin 5/500 milligrams in an unlocked cabinet. There was a sheet of paper wrapped around the pack with the resident's name, a date of 2/22/12 and a note on it that 30 tablets remained. Licensed nurse AA stated at that time that the medication should not have been stored in an unlocked cabinet. The nurse immediately placed the medication in a separate locked box that was affixed to the wall. AA stated that when a controlled substance had been discontinued, the medication and the count sheet was supposed to be taken to the nursing supervisor.	2016-03-01
