LPA identified herself and was granted entry by Cindy Jimenez, receptionist. LPA stated the purpose of the visit and reviewed the elements of the case management visit with Health and Wellness Director Rachel McIntyre.
The Department’s investigation regarding complaint dated June 4, 2020, resulted in Technical Advisories. Based on records reviewed, MAR protocols were not precise at the entry of the MAR for resident #1 (R1).

Although the medication technician(s) initialed for said medication, it had annotations that a medically skilled professional administered the medication to R1.
During today’s visit, LPA reviewed Title 22, Sections 87101 (a)(10) Definitions; 87629 Injections, 87465 Incidental Medical and Dental Care, and the Medications Guide with specific focus on injections. Based on the Department’s investigation and the evidence obtained during the records review, no deficiencies were cited during this case management visit but technical advisories have been issued.
