One of 2 staff stated the residents medications are refilled 5 to 7 days before they run out. The facility has an in-house pharmacy but some residents/family members have their preferred pharmacy. This staff and the other staff both stated residents missed medications due to insurance issues and family members not delivering the medications timely.
During inspection, LPA observed the med-room organized. LPA reviewed the MARs and checked with the med-tech the information entered in the computer which showed including but not limited to Alert Charting, medications that were discontinued and medications refusals. Although hard copies of LIC622 LPA obtained some not having dates medications started, however, the information were entered in the computer. Therefore, the 3 allegations are unsubstantiated.
Allegation: Residents' medical assessment outdated.
Previous staff worker stated assessments are not being done timely.
LPA selected 4 residents and reviewed their records which showed LIC602A Medical Assessments were less than a year old. Assessments were up to date. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated.
A finding that a complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegations may have happened or valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that violations occurred.
No deficiency cited.
