- Findings
- Alleged Victim (AV) relies on the facility to administer his/her medications. On or about March 8, 2021, after missing 14 daily doses of his/her coronary medication, AV reported chest pain and dizziness and was taken to the ER due to high pulse and high blood pressure. AV’s coronary medication was discontinued on February 22, 2021, without a doctor’s order. The facility does not have a system in place to detect the inadvertent discontinuation of a resident’s medication. The facility failed to administer AV’s ordered medication putting AV at risk of serious harm, which is a violation of resident rights, is neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
