Staff are not administering medication based on physician’s order.
On 4/21/2025 LPA interviewed Staff 1 (S1), Administrator (ADM), witness 2 (W2) and attempted to interview 2 residents (R1, R2) and attempted to interview S2. Based on interview, S1 stated, staff administer medication based on doctor’s orders. ADM stated that the staff logs the vital readings via text message for 3 residents and provided copies and screenshots of vital record logs to LPA. ADM stated that the facility administers medication according to doctors’ order. ADM stated that R3s medication was changing frequently. W2 stated, he/she is not familiar with R2s care because he/she is out of town and have hired Senior Generation Advocate Services to assist and oversee R2s care.
Based on document review of the physician’s order, medication will be administered or given when R3’s blood pressure (BP) is too high and no medication for BP given when BP is too low.
Staff are falsifying resident's medication records.
Based on record review of the facility’s Centrally Stored Medication and Destruction Record (CSMDR), LPA observed that the prescription medication is given per physician’s order and recorded based on the doctor’s instruction. ADM stated the vital record log is used to log the BP medication for R3 and reported to R3s PCP as instructed by the PCP.
On 05/29/2025, LPA interviewed W1, who stated that he/she is the one who “noticed that the vital or blood pressure (BP) log looked suspiciously perfect and looked like it’s falsified.” LPA observed that vital / BP record presented by W1, and RP does not have R3s name or another resident’s name on BP log. LPA reviewed 2 out 2 residents’ (R1 and R2) vital / BP record and did not find the “suspiciously perfect and looked like it’s falsified” document. W1 stated, he/she found the vital / BP log on a clip board and took a photo the log was not in R3s file record. The log did not have any name on it and it is unknown who it belonged to.
