32 | LPA observed R3’s prescribed, narcotic medication was filled on 11/24/21 (in bubble pack) for AM, Noon and PM and was not documented on CSMDR. The Administrator and staff stated that they were not aware of as to why some medications were not documented. When LPA requested to see PRN medication records for the same residents, LPA was informed that PRN records were kept in a main resident’s file, per previous MedTech’s request.
LPA informed the Administrator that all medication related documents shall be kept in one file to ensure an accuracy of a proper documentation and requested that all staff handling medication shall take/re-take medication training. Based on interviews and observations made by LPA on 1/11/22 at 11:28am this allegation is deemed Substantiated.
Allegation: Facility staff are not adequately trained.
S1 stated that their training on passing medications consisted of a brief explanation from the outgoing staff member about when to give AM vs PM medications. At 11:50am LPA asked the administrator for proof of S1's training and was given a one page paper that listed hours for various topics, including 6hrs for medications, but did not specify the day the training was given or by whom. Based on interviews and LPA observations this allegation is deemed Substantiated.
Allegation: Facility's signage is not properly posted
On an initial visit, made on 1/11/22, LPA was able to tour the facility at 11:09am and interview the Administrator. While conducting a tour of the common areas, Administrator stated that the Ombudsman’s poster is placed on a second floor, in an activity room. LPA was able to observe the Ombudsman's poster, along with all licensing posters, posted in a frame. LPA requested that all posters that contain information on the appropriate reporting agency in case of a complaint or emergency shall be posted in the main entryway of the facility. Based on the information obtained through interviews and observation this allegation is deemed Substantiated.
Exit interview conducted, copy of report and appeal rights provided to the Administrator. |
