  • Assist residents with self-administered medication

    Based on observation and record review, the licensee did not comply with the section cited above which poses an immediate health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care. During medication review, LPA observed discrepencies in Resident 1 (R1), Resident 2 (R2), and Resident 3 (R3). There were empty medication containers/bubble packs, some bubble packs were full even though it is the 5th of the month, some bubble packs had more than 5 pills missing, pills were taken out of the bubble pack in an out of order way (dates are on the bubble pack for each pill) which made it difficult to verify if residents are getting their medication daily, and staff stated for some residents medication was discontinued, but medication is still in their basket. LPA is unable to determine if medication is being given as prescribed because staff could not provide an explaination for some of the discrepencies, did not have a list with all the medicaiton for each resident written by a doctor, and there was no doctor's discontinuation orders for the medication that staff claimed where discontinued.
