Complaint Investigation Report

Title 22, California code of regulations, 87465 (h)(2) supports the facility’s position that it cannot discontinue medications without a physician’s order, even when hospital discharge instructions indicate such changes.

Based on staff interviews and a review of facility and resident records the above mentioned allegation, due to lack of corroborating evidence, the finding was established to be unsubstantiated. There is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.

An exit interview was conducted with Resident Service Coordinator (RSD) Irma Sterling. A copy of this report along with Licensee Rights (LIC 9058 01/16) will be provided to RSD Sterling. Signature on this form confirms the documents were received.
