25 | Licensing Program Analyst Bertozzi arrived unannounced to conduct a Case Management inspection and met with House Manager, Chris Gillion. Administrator, Shanice Moore was available by phone.
Facility recently reported that seven clients were mistakenly given their PM medications during the noon medication pass. Per discussion with House Manager, they previously implemented the "Seven Rights of Assisting with Self-Administration of Medication" which teaches staff to ensure that medication is administered at the correct time but the protocol was not followed.
LPA also discussed the "pre-pouring" of medication with the House Manager because centrally stored medication must be stored in its originally received container. Per discussion, the facility protocol is to prepare medications for the next medication pass one to two hours in advance but staff are not supposed to pour medications for multiple medication passes. The fact that the PM medications were poured prior to lunch is not facility protocol.
LPA agreed to obtain clarification about whether facility may pour medication an hour or two in advance per their protocol.
Deficiencies cited from the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6 of California Regulation. Appeal rights given. Failure to correct the deficiency and/or repeat deficiencies within a 12 month period may result in civil penalties. |
