Complaint Investigation Report

Allegation: Staff mismanaged resident's medication

During investigation, LPA interviewed staff (ADM) who stated she did not replace residents' prescribed medications with herbal supplements nor stop administering their prescribed & PRN medications.

Review of R1 & R2's centrally stored medication logs and medication administration records dated 04/2023 until 10/2023 show staff assists both residents with taking prescribed and over the counter medications in accordance with physicians' instructions.

Based on records review, interviews conducted, and observations made, the department has investigated the above allegation that staff mismanaged resident's medication and found it to be unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did occur, therefore the allegation that staff mismanaged resident's medication is unsubstantiated.

Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report provided.
