From July 9, 2020 to August 11, 2020, LPA conducted interviews. LPA interviewed 6 staff members and met with 6 residents.

Due to developmental disabilities, LPA was unable to obtain relevant responses from 4 out of 6 residents. Resident, R1, stated that staff does not give R1's Ibuprofen when R1 requests it and staff does not buy R1's medicated powder, Gold Bond. Resident, R2, has no knowledge regarding R1's medications.

LPA reviewed R1's medication administration record (MAR) and medication list. Based on R1's medication list dated July 6, 2020, Ibuprofen and Gold Bond (medicated powder) were not prescribed by R1's physician and staff is following physician's orders by not providing it to R1 upon request.

Based on interviews, 6 out of 6 staff members stated that R1 is being assisted by staff with medications. Staff, S2, confirmed being responsible for ordering residents' medications refills and recording medications administration. During interview on August 24, 2020, S2 stated that on June 25, 2020, R1 ran out of one inhaler prescribed to be used 4 times daily. S2 stated that upon review, R1 ran out of refills for this inhaler and R1's physician would not order a refill until R1 is seen by physician. A doctor's appointment was scheduled on June 26, 2020 and R1's physician ordered the refill and sent the order directly to the pharmacy to be filled and mailed. As of July 1, 2020, S2 followed up with the pharmacy because the inhaler was still not received. S2 was informed that there was no order received by the pharmacy due to a lapse in communication between the doctor's office and the pharmacy.

On July 2, 2020, the inhaler was picked up by facility staff. R1 was not administered the inhaler as prescribed from June 26, 2020 to July 2, 2020.

Based on records reviewed and interviews conducted, the facility did not request resident's medication refill prior to resident running out of medication causing resident to miss multiple dosages of said medication.

The Department has conducted an investigation of the above allegation. Based on interviews and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, the Department found the above allegation to be SUBSTANTIATED.

A deficiency was cited today. See LIC 9099-D.
