On 6/11/2021, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Han conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver the findings. LPA met with the Executive Director and explained the purpose of the visit.

Regarding to staff are not dispensing medication as prescribed, the allegation referred to Resident 1( R1) who at the time had been evaluated and determined able to manage and administer his own medications (as per Resident Functional Evaluation). R1 was readmitted to the facility on May 14, 2021, the facility completed a Resident Functional Evaluation indicating R1 needed reminder of his medication and that the resident was managing and administering his medications with assistance from his/her son. The following day, R1 made a mistake with the administration of medication, so another Resident Functional Evaluation and Service Plan was implemented for the facility to start administering the resident's medication.
