32 | LPA was informed that the facility was out of R1’s medication and R1’s family came to the facility and delivered a like-product (same medication, but not the correct dosage). LPA learned that S1 administered this medication even though it was not prescribed to R1 and it was the wrong dose.
Administrator Maria Ciscoe stated that she was aware of the situation and confirmed the details of the allegation. She stated that the facility had R1’s nebulizer solution on hand but that S1 did not find R1’s medication in the med room because she was not looking in the correct location. Maria stated that once she learned what happened, she removed S1 from Med Tech duties and is in the process of retraining all the facility Med Techs.
Based on interviews with residents, the preponderance of evidence standards has been met, and therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22 Division 6, Chapter 9, deficiencies are being cited on the attached 9099D during this visit.
A previous licensing report was issued on 12/30/2020 giving notice of the same violation. Because you have been cited for repeating the same violation within 12 months a civil penalty shall be assessed on attached LIC421FC.
The following deficiency is being cited on the attached LIC 9099-D:
§1569.69 Employees assisting residents with self-administration of medication; training requirements

This training shall consist of 16 hours of hands-on shadowing training, which shall be completed prior to assisting with the self-administration of medications, and 8 hours of other training or instruction, as described in subdivision (f), which shall be completed within the first four weeks of employment.
An exit interview was conducted with Administrator via telephone and a copy of this report and Appeal Rights will be provided to the facility via email. This facility shall sign and return a copy of the report to Community Care Licensing by mail and print a copy to be retained by the facility. |
