Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Melissa Lusby contacted the facility via telephone to conclude a complaint investigation on 2/18/2021 due to COVID-19 and pre-cautionary measures. LPA identified herself and discussed the purpose of the call and the elements of the complaint with Christine Salee.

Throughout the course of the investigation, LPA Lusby interviewed Administrator Christine Salee and staff. LPA reviewed R1's physicians report, care plan, medication record, communication between facility and primary physician, and PRN authorization. While the facility was following the medication orders as written by the physician, they were not following the PRN authorization form which stated that any PRN medication requires physician authorization prior to the resident receiving each dose.
