LPN #20 was very apologetic for what happened and stated she possibly made the mistake due to Resident #10 and a family friend going back and forth about Resident #10 needing his medications.

Residents Affected - Few Review of a facility investigation document titled Medication Administration Error dated 10/06/23, revealed the facility learned of a medication error incident which occurred on 09/22/23 and it was not reported to the facility until 10/04/23. The facility indicated LPN #20 discharged Resident #10 from the facility to home and gave him medications belonging to Resident #13. Resident #10 proceeded to take the wrong medications for several days before the error was identified by his daughter. Resident #10's daughter notified the Ombudsman, who then notified the facility on 10/04/23. The Ombudsman had pictures of the medications that were sent home with Resident #10 which showed the medications were ordered for Resident #13. LPN #20 confirmed she accidentally gave the additional medications to Resident #10 when he was discharged . LPN #20 noted it was a mistake and she had already provided a statement to the facility. An interview with the Administrator and the DON on 10/26/23 at 3:30 P.M. revealed they were informed by the Ombudsman on 10/04/23 about LPN #20 sending the wrong medications home with Resident #10 and the facility immediately started an investigation.

The Administrator and DON stated that they tried to reach out to Resident #10 but there was no answer.

Resident #10's daughter attempted to get the resident to go to the hospital; however, the resident said he was feeling better because he had stopped taking the medications two days prior. An attempted telephone interview with LPN #20 on 11/01/23 at approximately 2:30 P.M. and no contact was made. A telephone interview with Resident #10 on 11/01/23 at 4:15 P.M., indicated he believed he was ordered new medications and he thought that Resident #13's name on the medication cards was the name of the doctor since they were all the same, so he took the medications according to the directions. Resident #10 stated the medications made him feel bad, so he called his physician who informed the resident to stop the medications until he was seen in the office for his appointment on 09/29/23. Resident #10 stated he stopped taking the medication on Wednesday 09/27/23. Interview with the DON and the Administrator on 11/01/23 at 5:15 P.M., verified there was no documented evidence of an order and/or communication for any home health care services being set up prior to Resident #10's discharge on [DATE]. A telephone interview with Transition of Care Assistant (TCA) #30 on 11/02/23 at 9:27 A.M., revealed she works at Resident #10's primary care physician's office and when she talked to Resident #10, she believed the facility did not do a very good discharge because Resident #10 was supposed to receive home health care services, but nobody ever came or called the resident to start any services.
