25 | On 08/03/23, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Talwinder Bains arrived at the facility to conduct a Case Management visit regarding an incident that occurred on 07/24/23 and on 07/30/23. LPA met with Administrator Marta Blanco and explained the reason for the visit.
Alta California Regional Center Special Incident Report submitted by facility on 07/25/23 and on 08/01/23 to CCL stated that Staff (S1) did not give 1 scheduled medication Simvastatin -20mg (1 tablet) to R1 on the evening of 07/24/23 and R2 did not get their scheduled medications on 07/30/23 as R2s medications ( morning medication missed: Buspirone HCL 7.5mg, Ferrous Sulfate- 325mg, Baclofin- 10mg, Loratadine- 10mg, Vitamin B12- 2500mcg, Vitamin D -1000, Calcium- 600mg, Omeprazole- 40mg, Evening dose missed: Baclofen- 10mg, Buspirone HCL -15mg, Calcium- 600mg, Bedtime dose missed: Aripirazole- 10mg, Simvastatin- 20mg. ) were not refilled by pharmacy and facility did not make sure that R2 have their medications filled in timely manner. Facility management found out on 07/30/23 that R2 did not have their medications refilled. Record review indicated that R2’s medication had zero refills therefore additional refills needed to be approved by R2’s physician, which resulted in a delay in R2 obtaining medication timely. Facility did not ensure that R2 have medications refills ordered by R2s physician in timely way which resulted R2 missed their medications on 07/30/23.
Facility notified R1s and R2s physician, CCL, ALTA and other agencies regarding these medication errors. Per facility’s reports, there were no changes to R1s and R2s health due to this medication error and R1 and R2s were at their baseline. Based on this information, it was determined that the facility did not administer these medications to R1 and R2 which poses a immediate health and safety risk to residents in care.
Deficiency is cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, and listed on LIC 809D.
Failure to submit Proof of Correction (POC) by Plan of Correction date may result in civil penalties.
Exit interview conducted. Appeal rights provided. Copy of the report left at facility.
