13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Natasha Persaud concluded the investigation regarding the above mentioned allegation. The facility was closed, and the reports were sent via certified mail.
During the investigation, a virtual tour was conducted, records requested and interviews with staff, residents, and outside sources. It was alleged Resident #1 (R1) was not administered medication as prescribed. It was reported R1 had an increase in their medication and the new medication was delivered to the facility on 01/12/21. The administrator’s interview revealed the medication was changed/increased on 01/09/21 but not received at the facility until 01/18/21. Administrator stated the changed/increased medication was dispensed to R1 on 01/18/21, once received. Administrator stated he did not receive a new Medication Administration Record (MAR) for the changed/increased medication. A review of the MARs for January 2021 reflected the original dose was dispensed to R1 for the entire month, not the increased/changed dose as prescribed. Administrator’s interview revealed R1 was administered their medication, however, it was unknown which dose was dispensed in January 2021, as the MAR reflected only the original dose dispensed. Continued on an LIC 9099C.
