possible. She said a medication count was conducted at the end of every shift and anytime they pass the
medication cart off to another employee.
Interview on 7/16/2024 at 2:48pm with LVN, employed for approximately 10 days, she stated she received
training on misappropriation during her initial training and with her previous employer previously. She stated
an understanding of misappropriation and said she has never taken a medication from the medication cart,
nor has she seen anyone else take medication.
Interview on 7/16/2024 at 3:04pm with DON, employed with the facility for 18 years, stated she in-serviced
staff on 6/29/2024 following the incident with CMA-A. She identified accountability measures currently in
place at the facility as cameras were located throughout the building, carts were kept locked, a medication
count was conducted at beginning and end of each shift, the building was locked and secured, and the
ADM reviewed camera footage after any incident. She said she feels the incident with CMA-A was an
isolated incident and the disciplinary action was appropriate.
Interview on 7/16/2024 at 3:20pm with ADM reflected accountability measures include medication count at
the beginning and end of each shift and that CMA's must document each time a PRN medication is given to
a resident. She stated that the disciplinary action against CMA-A was appropriate as she had been an
employee in good standing for over 6-years and feels like it was an isolated incident. She said CMA-A is
supervised by a nurse on the night shift and there is another CNA working nights as well. She said there
are no routine medications given to residents during the night shift, so the medication cart is rarely opened.
Review of the most recent Criminal History Conviction search dated 1/19/2024 for CMA-A, reflected no
search results found.
Review of Notice to Employee Receiving This Employee Disciplinary Report dated 7/1/2024 was signed by
CMA-A and ADM. The document stated, Your failure to accomplish the corrective plan of action, including
any specified deadlines, may result in further disciplinary action up to and including discharge. Discharge
will automatically accompany third written counseling in a 12-month period, or any infraction of a serious
nature that would warrant immediate discharge.
Review of Employee Disciplinary Report dated 7/1/2024 was completed by ADM. The document stated,
CMA-A will not be allowed to work as a medication aide. She will not have access to medications,
medication cart, medication room, and medication keys. CMA-A received a demotion to CNA and took a
pay in accordance.
Review of Attendance Form dated 6/29/2024, for in-service titled Abuse, Neglect, Residents Rights,
Exploitation Misappropriation was signed by 30 employees from various departments.
