Complaint Investigation Report

On the allegation " Facility mismanaging residents medications" it was observed that R1-R4 are all on medication assistance and have their medications managed by the facility. A review of the MAR showed that all medications have been administered according to the physicians orders. LPA interviewed the med-tech on duty on how they work with residents who's medications require them to be taken prior to meals. Med-tech stated that they advise those residents to wait in their room for med-techs to give the meds or meet the residents in dining. LPA also observed in the MAR when residents dosages have been changed and it aligned with physicians orders and medications observed in the med cart. LPA was unable to identify a resident who's medications are being mismanaged and that all medications administered are of the proper dosage and proper time therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED .

No deficiencies cited during visit. Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report provided.
