assistance and was considered independent. LIC602A Physician’s Report, signed on September 23, 2022 by R1’s primary care physician, indicated that R1 did not have mild cognitive impairment or dementia, that R1 could manage their own prescription medications, injections, glucose testing, PRN medications, and store their own medications.

On February 9, 2023, medical records showed that R1 was diagnosed with a contagious and infectious disease. R1 was prescribed medication that same day. On February 22, 2023, facility records revealed a fax that was sent to R1’s prescribing physician for clarification if R1 had been determined to need medication assistance as per their procedures. Interviews with staff indicated that R1 did not have a change in condition and did not need a higher level of care.

Based on the evidence obtained during the complaint investigation, the allegations that facility staff did not administer medications as prescribed and that facility staff did not provide assistance with medication is unfounded, meaning that the allegations are false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis. Therefore, as to the above listed allegation, based on information obtained, the facility is in compliance with Title 22 regulations at this time. An exit interview was conducted with Guest Service Manager; a copy of this report and Licensee's Rights (LIC9058) were provided.
