It was reported that on 07/23/2021, a Noc-shift medication technician (Med-Tech) found multiple medications in R1's room. The Med-Tech reported that R1 was "not R1's self" and was "more confused" than usual. Med-Tech contacted 911 and R1 was transported to the hospital. Medications were removed and placed in a locked room inaccessible to residents in care.
Upon further review of this incident, it was determined that resident obtained the medication while on an outing and brought it back to facility unbeknownst to facility staff. Facility informed resident’s responsible party that all medications have to be secured for resident’s safety.
