Allegation: Staff do not distribute resident's medications as prescribed
It is being alleged that R1 is not receiving his prescribed medications for an antibiotic and a sleep aid. On 7/14/26, LPA Shirley observed an incident report dated 4/27/26. LPA Felisa Shirley reviewed R1’s Medication Administration Records, (MAR’s) April 2026 thru July 2026. LPA Shirley also observed medication prescription for Amoxicillin dated 4/23/26. Upon review of the incident report, on 4/23/26 R1 was sent to Gardena Memorial Emergency Department due to facial swelling. R1 was cleared and released to return to Rosecrans Villa the same day with a prescription for Amoxicillin. The resident was prescribed the antibiotic with 20 tablets to be taken twice a day for 10 days with zero refills. A review of the MAR for April the Med-Tech administered the medication on 4/25, 4/26 and 4/27. Per interview with the Administrator (S1), R1 was sent to a Skilled Nursing Facility on 4/28/26 and did not return to Rosecrans Villa until 5/28/26. The antibiotic was prescribed and administered until the supply was exhausted at the Skilled Nursing Facility. LPA Shirley also observed that the medication for Mirtazapine has a standing order to be administered daily at bedtime. This regimen has continued until R1’s hospitalization on 6/16/26. Following R1’s return on 6/23/26, the medication was resumed and remains active.
LPA interviewed staff 1 – staff 5 (S1 – S5). Of those interviewed 5 out of 5 denied the allegation. LPA interviewed resident 1 – resident 5 (R1 – R5). Of those who interviewed 4 out of 5 denied the allegation. One resident confirmed the allegation.
Based on information gathered, LPA did not find sufficient evidence to support the allegation “Staff do not distribute resident's medications as prescribed,” therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated.
Allegation: Staff do not safeguard resident's personal belongings
It is being alleged that R1’s pants and shirts are missing. On 7/14/26, LPA Shirley observed and reviewed R1’s Resident Personal Property and Valuables form. LPA Shirley also received a copy of an emailed conversation between facility’s Administrator (S1) and R1’s Family Trust representative. The Resident Personal Property and Valuables form list 5 shirts and no pants as personal property when R1 arrived to this facility on 1/15/26. The email dated 2/4/26 between the Administrator and Trust Representative discusses R1 giving personal items away such as a jacket and a pair of shoes. The Administrator stated that she was not sure about other items that R1 may have given away.
