25 | On 05/09/24, LPA Campbell arrived to the facility to review and provide technical assistance regarding their Medication Administrator Record (MAR). LPA Campbell explained the purpose of the visit and asked to see their MAR. During prior visits, LPA Campbell observed that the facility had not tracked resident usage for prescribed medication.
LPA Campbell had provided MAR templates to the facility. Instead of using them, the Facility Manager, John Villareal used them as a guide to create his own forms to increase the font for his employees and to make them easier to use. LPA Campbell observed that he further altered the forms from the Community Care Licensing template by highlighting the times that residents were scheduled to receive medication. LPA Campbell suggested that a Key be used in the MAR to identity unusual incidents such as emergency hospital and family visits or when residents refused to take their medication. LPA Campbell spoke with staff and identified the benefits of using the MAR to verify that staff were following procedure in cases of resident disputes around if a medication was provided. LPA Campbell and the staff at the facility will use the new MAR and assess the results during future LPA visits.
NOTE: During visit, LPA Campbell found that John Villareal had renewed his Administrator Certificate. He will provide his Administrator number and expiration number at a later time. No deficiencies have been cited during this visit.
