32 | LPA observed staff training is current in regards to personal rights. It remains unclear if documentation of R1s bowel movement record was falsified with switching of dates from January 11th to noticing blood on January 25th. LPA only observed documentation where blood was observed on January 25th. Therefore, the allegations have been deemed Unsubstantiated.
Regarding the allegations Staff failed to administer residents medications as prescribed revealed the following: During record review it was revealed that Resident #2 (R2) was admitted to the facility on November 30, 2022. LPA observed a physician report for R2 dated November 23, 2022, stating that R2 cannot manage their medication. LPA observed a Resident Appraisal for R2 that was not dated and did not have signatures, stating that R2 needed help with medication. LPA observed a Medication Administration Record for R2 dated December 2022 where all medication was marked as given for the entire month.
During interviews with S1 it was revealed to their knowledge R2 was given all their medications. During interviews with R2s Responsible Party, it was revealed that to their knowledge there was no issues with the dispensing of R2s medication and that it was administered as prescribed. Two of two witnesses informed LPA that staff would alter medication based on R2s symptoms and stop medication even though they did not have doctors orders. Therefore the allegation, staff failed to administer residents medications as prescribed has been deemed Unsubstantiated.
LPA attempted to interview two of six residents in care and was unsuccessful. Two of two witnesses stated they do not have proof anymore due to the complaint being first reported a couple of years ago.
Based on information gathered, interviews and record review, the Department is unable to ascertain if the above allegations occurred as reported. Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove or refute the alleged violation occurred; therefore, the allegations are deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED.
An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided at the time of the investigation.
