Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Per resident interview from resident #2 (R2) to resident #4 (R4), two (2) out of three (3) residents interviewed stated that they were not aware of any missing medication. One (1) out of three (3) residents interviewed stated the resident’s medication was missing a pill or two pills occasionally. It revealed most residents were not aware of any missing medication. Per staff interviews with the administrator and med tech, they were aware of mismanagement of residents’ medication in the facility. Administrator and Human Resource were involved to investigate the incident. As a result, a med tech was suspended due to mismanage residents’ medication. LPA reviewed residents’ medication and medical records from resident #5 (R5) to resident #7 (R7) with Med Tech. Medication mismanagement was observed as the following. A medication log of a resident was not updated which a discontinued medication was still on the list. A discontinued medication was still administered to a resident while the medication was discontinued. Med tech immediately removed such medication from the resident’s medication during the review. In addition, a resident’s controlled medication log and the bubble pack showed such controlled medication was administered twice on 03/14/26 but did not administer on 03/18/26. Therefore, facility staff is mismanaging resident's medications. Based on record review and interviews conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Deficiencies are being cited according to California Code of Regulations, Title 22 and Health and Safety Code. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator. A copy of this report and appeal rights were provided.
