32 | Allegation: Staff are not dispensing medications as prescribed.
The complaint alleged that staff are not administering medications to clients on time, often missing morning doses and attempting to double the afternoon doses. On October 13, 2025, between 8:45 AM and 9:30 AM, the Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Richard conducted interviews with the Administrator (A1), who denied the allegation. The A1 explained that the facility followed the doctor's prescriptions regarding the timing for administering medications to clients. The nurse at the facility ensures that the medications received from the pharmacy come with clear instructions from the doctor on how they should be administered. A1 uses the Medication Administration Records (MARs) to document all medications that are given. On the same day, the LPA interviewed the nurse (N1), who stated that when the medications arrived from the pharmacy, N1 ensured that the orders matched the clients at the facility. N1 also confirmed that the doctor's orders included instructions on how to administer the medications to the clients.
On October 13, 2025, between 8:45 AM and 9:30 AM, the LPA conducted interviews with three clients (C1, C2, and C3). All three clients reported that they have never experienced any issues with their medications. They also mentioned that the nurse is very helpful with their medication needs. C1 specifically noted that their medications are prescribed to be taken three times a day and that C1 is not missing any doses. On the same date, LPA Richard reviewed the Medication Administration Records (MARs) for each client, covering the period from September 1, 2025, to October 13, 2025, and found no discrepancies.
