(Residents 63 and 76)Findings include: Review of facility policy entitled, Resident Self-Administration of Medication, last reviewed June 1, 2025, revealed that a resident may only self-administer medications after the facility's interdisciplinary team had determined which medications may be self-administered safely. The resident's preference would be documented in the clinical record. The results of the interdisciplinary team assessment would be recorded in the Self Administration of Medication Assessment.
