25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Lyman conducted an unannounced case management visit to follow up on an incident report received by Community Care Licensing on 07/04/2022. LPA was greeted and granted entry into the facility by Executive Director Jesus Soto and explained the reason for the visit.
Incident report dated 07/04/2022 indicated Resident 1 (R1) had been given seven of R2's morning medications. Physician was notified and resident was monitored every hour for blood pressure. R1 had no adverse effects from the medication. Per physician report dated 03/24/2022, R1 is diagnosed with Dementia. Facility investigation revealed that Staff 1 (S1) had attempted to administer medications to R2 but the medications were refused. S1 returned the medications to the med cart. Medications were in a cup. Staff inadvertently gave the medication to R1 and failed to employ the normal safeguards to ensure medications are administered to the correct resident. Per Administrator, S1 will be provided corrective action to ensure accountability for the error.
During the visit, LPA toured the facility and spoke with both R1 and R2. Both residents were in the dining room and appeared happy and well taken care of.
Based on the observations made during today's visit, deficiencies are being cited per Title 22 Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations. This report was discussed with Administrator and a copy was provided as well as appeal rights. |
