Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Community Care Licensing (CCL) received a Special Incident Report (SIR) on 12/01/2025 regarding R1 missing their scheduled Morphine Sulfate 2.5mg dose. The SIR states the date it occurred on was 11/24/2025, but in the description of the incident it states, “It is noted that on Friday, November 12th, the resident’s scheduled Morphine Sulfate 2.5mg PO does was missed”. It is unclear what date the medication was exactly missed on as November 24th was a Monday and November 12th was a Wednesday. The dates given in the SIR are inaccurate. On October 20th, 2025, it is unclear if R1 received their morphine dose at 8:00am as staff notes state “short staff was passing meds upstairs”. Documentation for November 1st, 2025, at 8:00am, 8:30am, and 12:00pm, it is unclear if R1 received their routine morphine and Refresh Tears Ophth 0.5% drops as staff notes state “short staff”. It should be noted per R1s medication list, R1 is to receive morphine every four hours for pain management. For the dates of October 16th and November 22nd where documentation states R1 missed their medication, CCL did not receive a Special Incident Report (SIR). Based on LPAs observations and interviews which were conducted and record review(s), the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Division 6, Chapter1 is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Appeal rights given.
