We have been having trouble with the hospice company (R2) is enrolled in. It looks like on 9/19/2024 we ran out of oxycodone for (R2), and hospice did not refill it. Residents Affected - Few On 10/9/2024 at 9:30AM V11, (R2's family), stated Supposedly they were out of hydrocodone, and she was switched to oxycodone. We have trouble getting them to give her meds in the evening. I don't know what they give her now. The meds are just in pudding.

We will have to call pharmacy. We cannot get in the E (Emergency) kit without a prescription. On 10/9/24, At 5:10PM V16 (RN) stated V2 already called for a script to get into the E kit.
