On 10/17/2024, 3 staff members were interviewed. Based on interview, S1 stated to be discarding the monthly cycle of medications on the desk in the common area. S1 stated the bubble packs of medications that were sitting on top of the desk were being discarded and were empty bubble packs of medications. S1 stated there were no medications in the bubble packs. S1 stated that a resident had a fall in the common area just a few feet away from S1 and S1 turned his/her back from the desk with the empty bubble pack of medications. S1 denied leaving the common area and stated to have called a care staff to assist the resident. S2 corroborated S1’s statement. S3 denied the observation of medications being left unattended and accessible to residents. On 10/17/2024, LPA Dolores and LPA Fortes toured the facility to include the first and second floor. Based on observation, LPAs did not observe medications that were left accessible to residents in care. LPAs observed the medication cart located on the second floor was locked. The Department has investigated the above allegation. Based on interview, record review and observation the above allegation is unfounded meaning the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis.
