Complaint Investigation Report

Facility mis-managed a resident's medication - UNSUBSTANTIATED

It was reported that Resident 1 (R1) had a large amount of prescription medication left over when they passed. Complainant would like to know if facility over ordered or did not dispense the medication to R1.

LPA reviewed R1’s Medication Administration Record (MAR) for the month of March 2024 which revealed that all medications were dispensed as prescribed throughout the month.

Executive Director stated The medications were R1’s back stock. Five medications for the next months, plus for the cycle fill. They were R1’s back up meds from the pharmacy. We tried to give it to the family and they told us to dispose of it. There was more in the back stock and they said we should get rid of it.

It was determined that R1’s medication was ordered and dispensed as prescribed. This allegation is unsubstantiated.
