Findings
Alleged Victim (AV) relies on the facility to administer his/her nerve/pain medication three times daily. Between September 1st through November 30th, 2021, AV did not receive his/he medication for a total of nine (9) days and the facility listed the reasoning as, “medication is noted as not available, not in facility and/or reordered”. AV went without medication for three (3) to four (4) days starting on November 26, 2021, and states he/she was miserable and could not sleep due to restless legs. The facility failed to provide a safe medication administration system, which is a violation of resident rights, is neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
