25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Torres, conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to continue the investigation of complaint #18-AS-20230104110943.
During the visit the LPA received information alleging facility staff failed to administer medication to Resident One (R1) from January 07, 2023 through January 09, 2023. The LPA reviewed records and conducted staff interviews. Interviews revealed R1 did not receive one medication on January 07, 2023 and January 08, 2023 because the medication package was empty. The LPA attempted to conduct an audit of the medication; however, interviews revealed the medication package was no longer available because the cycle ended on January 08, 2023. Two Narcotic and Antibiotic Drug Records were reviewed; no signatures indicating R1 received their medication the night of January 06, 2023 until the morning of January 09, 2023. According to Administrator Niebres, staff are trained to utilize the records for documentation purposes. Therefore, based on interviews and records review, R1 did not receive one of their medications. This posed an immediate health and safety threat to the resident in care. A citation and civil penalty (for a repeat violation will be issued).
An exit interview was conducted with Niebres; this report was reviewed, and a copy was provided along with LIC 421IM, LIC 811 and Appeal Rights. |
