Additionally, two interviews revealed that medications have been kept unsecured and accessible to residents. According to one interview, a med tech will place medication cups on the kitchen counter, tucked in a corner, until they are ready to give the medication to residents. Additionally, one staff acknowledged that a med tech will keep medication in an unlocked kitchen drawer, accessible to residents. LPA obtained a picture of unsecured medication in a kitchen drawer.
