LPA met with Business Office Manager Eugene Pascual. The details of the incident report was a report of a medication error that occurred on 08/15/2023.

Interviews conducted by the facility with the medication technician found that during the medication pass, staff became distracted and might have taken the pill from a different residents supply, or signed that the pill was given without actually doing so.
