13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Alviso conducted a complaint inspection to deliver findings on 1/13/21; LPA met with the Administrator Stephanie Limberg by televisit due to the covid-19 pandemic. LPA reviewed resident (R1) files, medical records/orders, and care plan documentation. LPA conducted interviews with staff, and other related parties regarding this investigation. The investigation revealed that R1 was not able to handle their medications, per resident's Physician, and current medical assessment completed by the Physician; The facility Administrator LVN, and a Home Health worker also assessed the resident by observation, and review of medications with the resident which had revealed the resident was not able to understand and manage their own medications safely. Administrator stated that resident's responsible party was in agreement with having the resident on the medication program. The resident did agree and was put on the facility's medication program. LPA identified through investigation and interviews, reporting party's concern was the resident couldn't handle their own medications safely but stated to the LPA that the facility was not at fault and wanted to only ensure the resident's needs would be met regarding medications. Based on the interviews, record/document reviews, and related information obtained during the investigation, the allegation, Staff failed to properly assist resident with medications, is Unfounded. We have found that the complaint allegation was unfounded, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis.
No deficiencies cited during todays visit.
Exit interviews were conducted.
Administrator will receive a copy of this report from the LPA for signature and retention. |
