Overview of The Viridian
The Viridian is a 48-bed assisted living and rehabilitation facility at 3003 Waterscape Way, New Bern, Craven County, North Carolina, providing assisted living and rehabilitation services in a supportive environment.
Medication administration failures persist as the facility’s primary regulatory challenge. Over two years, The Viridian averaged 4 deficiencies annually, 23 percent better than North Carolina’s 5.2-deficiency baseline. September 2024 annual survey and complaint investigation documented medication administration failures for three of five sampled residents involving tremors and anxiety medications, pain control, and infection treatment, with electronic medication administration records inaccurate for two residents. A 15 percent medication error rate was observed.
June 2024 follow-up construction survey confirmed all previously cited deficiencies corrected. March 2024 biennial construction survey found one courtyard exit gate swinging inward instead of outward as required for proper egress, and multiple conduit penetrations in fire-resistant-rated ceilings improperly sealed.
November 2022 initial licensing survey during facility opening identified medication administration as a systemic challenge. Timely referral for vascular specialist wound consultation was not completed for one sampled resident. Oral, topical, and self-administered medications were not clarified as ordered for multiple residents. Three of five residents did not receive ordered blood pressure, diuretic, vitamin, and nerve pain medications.
Self-administered medications lacked proper labeling with instructions and were not secured. No substantiated abuse or neglect complaints appear in the record. No fines or license suspensions.
Families should ask directly about medication administration oversight procedures, electronic record accuracy verification, and pharmacy communication protocols to prevent missed doses and documentation errors.
