32 | The details of the complaint alleged that the facility staff does not dispense all residents’ medication at the same time and make other residents wait. On 2/12/2026, from 10:00am-2:00pm, the department interviewed staff (S1-S5) and clients (C1-C4) regarding the allegation. 5 of 5 staff denied the allegation that Staff does not ensure resident's medications are administered in a timely manner. All staff stated that medications are always given in a timely manner. They state that medications are given at 8am, 5pm, and at bedtime. They also stated that they have a hard time with one client because that client likes to talk on the phone at med-time and likes to make staff wait while they finish talking on the phone. But they ensure that all clients do get their medication and it is never given later than prescribed.
The department interviewed clients (C1-C4) about the allegation and 3 of 4 clients that were interviewed stated that they do get their medications in a timely manner and are satisfied with the care and supervision provided by the staff.
The department reviewed the medication administration record and observed that all clients have received all medications prescribed and have not missed any due to staff tardiness, according to records observed.
Based on interviews and records reviewed, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation that the Staff does not ensure resident's medications are administered in a timely manner. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated.
