The administrator stated the hospital was did not inform the staff that the resident had medication. The administrator stated the facility did not receive any forms from the placement agency and the hospital. The administrator stated the staff did not have any communication with the discharging nurse and did not confirm diagnosis or any medical follow-up. When the administrator and care staff brought the resident to the residents room, because they were not aware the resident had any medication, the resident was able to attempt to swallow pills which resulted in the facility having to call 911 and bring the resident back to the hospital. Therefore, the allegation that the facility staff did not make medications inaccessible to resident is substantiated. The following deficiencies was observed (see LIC 9099-D) and cited from the California Code of Regulations, Title 22. Failure to correct the deficiencies may result in civil penalties. Appeal rights were provided. Exit interview conducted with ED, Teresa Pettapiece and a copy of this report was provided.
