32 | Investigation Revealed the following:
Allegation: Staff did not administer medication as prescribed.
It was alleged that facility staff did not administer medications as prescribed. During the course of the investigation, LPA Lee reviewed facility records pertaining to resident medications. Based on incident reports provided by the facility on 05/22/2026, it was learned that three medication errors occurred during 2024. On 01/09/2024, 01/10/2024, 01/11/2024, and 01/13/2024, Resident 1 (R1) was administered an additional dose of Mirtazapine 30 mg. The medication was prescribed as one tablet by mouth at bedtime only; however, it was also administered in the morning. On 10/14/2024 at approximately 2:00 p.m., a medication technician reported to the Health Services Administrator (HSA) that Resident 2 (R2) had been administered the incorrect dosage of Atorvastatin. R2 received Atorvastatin 20 mg, however, the physician's order prescribed Atorvastatin 10 mg, one tablet by mouth at bedtime. On 05/01/2024 at approximately 9:00 p.m., Resident 3 (R3) was administered another resident's bedtime medications, including Ativan and Norco.
LPA Lee also reviewed Medication Administration Records (MARs) for seven residents for May 2024 and identified two documentation discrepancies. Resident 4 (R4) was prescribed Ocean Blue Omega-3 2100 mg, one capsule by mouth daily, with a start date of 05/02/2024 and an end date of 10/10/2024. The MAR did not have staff initials from 05/02/2024 through 05/06/2024, and no documentation to explain the omission. Resident 5 (R5) was prescribed Methylphenidate 5 mg tablets, two tablets (10 mg) by mouth three times daily, with a start date of 02/29/2024 and an end date of 08/21/2024. The MAR contained no staff initials for the morning, noon, or evening medication passes on 05/02/2024 and from 05/06/2024 through 05/16/2024. No notes were documented explaining the missing entries.
