32 | Allegation: Staff did not administer medications to a resident in care. It has been alleged that staff are not refilling residents’ medication in a timely manner and that staff are calling resident a “drug addict”. Staff interviews revealed that residents’ medications are refilled in a timely manner. Interviewed staff indicated that medication administration is documented via the Medication Administration Record (MAR). Interviewed staff indicated that they have not had any issues refilling medication (including medication for R-1) and that R-1 is provided with medication as prescribed (including medication for sleep). Interviewed staff indicated that they have not witnessed nor received any concerns/complaints pertaining to this matter. Interviewed staff indicated that staff do not call any residents (including R-1) a “drug addict”. (5) out of (6) resident interviews revealed that residents receive their medication (including refills) in a timely manner. (5) out of (6) residents interviews indicated that they have not heard anyone complaining nor have any concerns pertaining to this matter. (5) out of (6) resident interviews indicated that staff do not call them “drug addicts”. Interviews and reviewed documentation do not corroborate this allegation.
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.
Exit interview conducted. LPA was experiencing technical difficulties during this visit. Therefore, a copy of the report and appeal rights will be sent via email to Virgilio Agas (S-1).
