- Findings
- Alleged Victim (AV) relies on the facility to administer his/her medication. On or about July 2, 2020, the facility received hospice orders to administer 100 unit/ml NPH insulin/12 units per day and Lispro 4 units twice a day. During the time period of July 2, 2020 through July 11, 2020, AV had nine (9) CBG values ranging from 363 to 479 which is over the 350 limit. Facility staff had reported to hospice that AV’s CBG was 454 on or about July 8, 2020 due to AV’s NPH insulin not being administered. The facility failed to provide a safe medication administration system, which is a violation of resident rights, is neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
