32 | Per interviews with staff, S2 stated there was no record of blood pressure readings or every single day and time the medications were provided to the resident. S2 stated they didn't track the blood pressure readings. The resident R1 has the blood pressure readings in their book. R1 didn't return to the facility after going to the hospital on 9/5/25 due to not feeling well. LPA discussed regulation information regarding medications, medication assistance, and maintaining medication records appropriately and accurately to reflect medications are being provided to the resident as required/needed. Ensuring compliance with Dr's Orders, and Dr's instructions, including records to show medication is being provided as required.
Per investigation, facility failed to provide R1's medications per Physician orders as required. There was no record of blood pressure (BP) readings, no record of month/days, time, showing the medications were provided, and record of acceptable BP reading of R1. S2 stated they didn't track the blood pressure readings, staff would look at record of blood pressure readings from R1. Sufficient information obtained to support violations occurred regarding "staff are not following resident's medication Physician order as required." Allegation is Substantiated.
