13 | On 12/18/25 LPA reviewed an Omnicare medication audit. It was discovered that some resident’s medications were expired or not available for administration. Overall, PRN order guidelines were not followed, medications were not available, expired medications were found and there were inconsistencies with dating medication supplies. On 1/8/25, during a concurrent annual inspection and complaint visit, LPAs Kimberly Viarella and Arvin Villanueva conducted an observation of med tech on duty, passing the noon medication. At the time of the med pass observations were made at 12:24pm. Review of resident file showed that R1was prescribed a PRN to be taken every hour and it was not available. Other inconsistencies were noted and the medtech was unable to provide an explanation.
Based on observations made, interview with the med tech and audit report reviewed, this allegation is substantiated. The Department has concluded, based on the preponderance of the evidence obtained during this investigation, that the above is SUBSTANTIATED.
