32 | However, R#1 had been admitted to Rose Garden Residential Care on 5/21/2026, and the MAR did not indicate that R#1 was receiving insulin between the admission date and 6/1/2026. Furthermore, upon review of R#1’s MAR, LPA observed entries dated 5/28/2026, 5/29/2026, 5/30/2026, and 5/31/2026 stating, “Physically unable to take.” The entries did not provide an explanation or indicate the specific reason R#1 was documented as physically unable to take the medication. LPA conducted interviews with S#1, S#2, and S#3 regarding the allegation. Staff #1-3 denied the allegation and stated that residents who are insulin dependent may independently administer their own insulin with minimal to no assistance. Staff #1-3 also denied administering insulin to residents and acknowledged that only licensed professionals may administer insulin via injection. Staff #1 informed LPA that the facility had been experiencing ongoing communication issues with R#1’s family regarding obtaining medication orders for R#1. Based on the record review and interviews conducted, LPA determined that the allegation that staff did not ensure R#1 received proper assistance with the self-administration of insulin is Substantiated. A finding that the complaint is Substantiated means that the findings are valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. Title 22 Regulations, from division 6, chapter, article 6, is, cited on the attached LIC 9099 D.
An exit interview was conducted where this report, appeal rights, and LIC9099-D was discussed, and a copy of the report was provided to Business office Manager Michelle Reyes at the conclusion of the visit. |
