32 | Allegation: Facility inappropriately administered incorrect medication for resident.
On 02/29/2020 R1 was admitted to Mercy San Juan hospital. Upon admission, the facility provided R1’s medication list. According to key witness, the medication list may or may not have been R1’s. Hospital records reviewed indicate the chief complaint was abdominal pain and diarrhea. According to the hospital’s pharmacist, the hospital did not need to request a corrected medication list from the facility for R1. Hospital documentation reviewed indicates the medication list provided by the facility for R1 was accurate and not of concern. The Department compared R1’s Physician’s medication list to Centrally Stored Medication Records and found no errors. The allegation is found to be UNFOUNDED.
Allegation: Facility failed to safeguard resident’s personal belongings.
Based on interviews conducted and documentation reviewed, R1 moved into the facility on 12/08/2017. Upon admission, R1 declined to have cash and/or other valuables entrusted to the facility to safeguard. Interviews with a random sample of four (4) residents stated they have not had any personal items go missing without the facility replacing. The allegation is found to be UNFOUNDED.
Allegation: Facility did not follow admission agreement.
CCL conducted interviews with staff, family members of residents, and the Director of the Assisted Living Waiver Program. Interviews indicate R1 was a part of the Assisted Living Waiver Program, designed to set the exact living amount the resident pays. According to ALWP, the resident’s living rate is determined by their income which can increase annually. The facility was notified by ALWP that the resident’s SSI income had increased, therefore their monthly fees reflected the increase. The facility provided the letter sent to family members notifying them of the change on January 23, 2020, the day the ALWP first notified the facility. The Director of ALWP stated it is not policy but a courtesy for the ALWP to notify families of changes as soon as they are made aware of potential income increases of their partners. Due to the late notice, the facility agreed to postpone all increases until February 2020. The allegation is found to be UNFOUNDED.
Based on interviews and records reviewed, the allegations listed are found to be unfounded, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis.
Exit interview conducted. Copy of report and appeal rights provided. Facility will sign and send a signed copy to CCL. |
