Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Continued from 9099 Regarding the allegation that staff mishandled medication while residents are in care, Licensing received information that S1, S1's prescribed medication was accessible to residents in care. S1's medication was stored  in a prescription bottle on a bedside table in an unlocked staff designated bedroom. LPA interview with Administrator confirmed the incident did occur. Administrator stated that S1's medications are typically stored inside a marked storage box designated for staff in a locked medication closet. Based on information gathered during this visit, the department has sufficient evidence to determine that the staff mishandled medication while residents are in care. Therefore the allegation is SUBSTANTIATED at this time. The following deficiencies were observed (See LIC 9099-D.) and cited from the California Code of Regulations, Title 22 and California Health and Safety Code. Failure to correct the deficiencies may result in civil penalties. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report and appeal rights were emailed.
