Follow-up on corrections·November 2, 2023

On this day, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kevin Saborit-Guasch made an unannounced visit to the facility for the purpose of conducting a case management inspection. During the investigation of complaint 22-AS-20230911091528, LPA conducted a review of the resident records for resident R1 and conducted an interview with the resident. During a visit conducted on September 14, 2023, R1 was observed to be independently managing their own medication. However, a review of R1's resident records conducted during the investigation evidenced that the resident had been assessed to require assistance with the administration of their own prescribed medication as documented in the most recent physician report on file. Report is dated August 13, 2021. Based on staff interviews and observation made during the visit, as of the first visit conducted on September 14, 2023, the resident had not been placed under Medication Management by the facility and was still handling her own prescribed treatments autonomously without receiving the required assistance. A type B deficiency is being cited as a result, with the assessment of an immediate civil penalty due to a repeat offence. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report along with appeal rights were provided to the facility representative.
