32 | Allegation: Staff mismanages resident's medication.
On 12/18/25 LPA Viarella asked the ED to define what his understanding of a medication error was. ED replied to the following: wrong dose, wrong resident, wrong time (not in the window, an hour before or after the prescribed time) or if was supposed to be given every 6 hours and we gave it every 8 and no order is on file for the medication. LPA requested files for Residents R1 - R8. The ED told LPAs that they did not have proper PRN release form on file for every resident. ED told LPAs that they do have documentation for all the shadowing required for med techs. Based on record review and interview with ED the above allegation is substantiated.
The Department has concluded, based on the preponderance of the evidence obtained during this investigation, that the above is SUBSTANTIATED.
The following deficiency, 87465(e) (1-4) is cited per California Code of Regulations, TITLE 22, DIVISION 6, CHAPTER 8 Article 8.
This is a repeat violation and needs a civil penalty assessed.
Exit interview was conducted with the licensee. Appeal Rights were issued, and a copy of this report was left at the facility.
