25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Christi Coppo arrived unannounced to conduct a Case Management. However, Administrator was not at the facility. Administrator Eva Mulder, arrived at approximately 1:50pm. Facility currently has zero residents in care. Facility has only one resident in care and they are in currently in a dementia care facility because the resident's care needs have changed such that they need supervision beyond what facility can provide.
On 1/02/2024 facility submitted an Incident Report indicating resident in care was attempting to flee the facility and exhibiting suicidal ideation, on 12/31/2023. Admin called emergency services and the resident was taken to the hospital. Resident has not returned to the facility.
Per LPA phone interview with Admin, and LPA review of resident's monthly medication log, resident has been out of certain medications since November 2023, these medications include: metformin, gabapentin, and propranolol. Per conversation with Admin, Admin contacted responsible party to refill metformin, gabapentin, and propranolol. Admin stated that resident's responsible party did not provide any refills and Admin did not follow up with doctor. Per Admin's conversation with resident's doctor, doctor stated she would not refill any medication until resident is seen in-person. Admin failed to insure resident had medication per doctors orders. Resident is currently in a different dementia care facility. Admin is unaware of resident's discharge date from the hospital; it is not yet determined if prolonged failure to provide medication is the reason for hospitalization. LPA will obtain further information and follow up.
Per resident's Physician's Report resident is not able to independently administer their own prescription medications, their own injections, perform their own glucose monitoring, administer their own PRNs, or store their own medications. Per resident's Care Plan, resident needs insulin and will require reminders and supervision of insulin injections. This is in direct contradiction to what is indicated on resident's Physician's report. LPA discussed with Admin this discrepancy and how running out of medications can be prevented or mitigated. LPA discussed importance of reviewing residents' Physician's Report prior to admission to ensure the facility can meet the required care needs of residents as well as conduct a pre-appraisal.
