Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Joseph Alejandre made an unannounced visit to conduct the required 10-day visit to begin the investigation into the allegation listed above. LPA met with Health and Wellness Director Yairell Garcia and explained the reason for the visit. The investigation revealed the following. It was alleged that the facility did not have Resident 1's (R1) Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen oral tablet 5-325MG (PRN) refilled timely and R1 did not have the PRN medication from 4/17/23 until the morning of 4/20/23 even though they requested the medication. Staff interviewed reported that the medication was ordered, the pharmacy and doctor were contacted. Staff reported that it takes time for a medication order to process and the medication must be approved by the resident's physician before a prescription is filled. A review of R1's medication administration record for April 2023 shows that R1 did not take any Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen from 4/16/23 to 4/19/23. R1 has resided at the facility since February 2023. R1's service plan and admission agreement show R1's medication is managed by the facility. It is the facility's responsibility to ensure the resident has their medication and to administer the medication in accordance with doctor's orders. R1 could not get their requested medication from 4/17/23 to 4/19/23, all parties interviewed corroborate this information.
