An assisted living center or assisted living home that contacts an emergency responder on behalf of a resident shall provide to the emergency responder a written document that includes all of the following: 1. The reason or reasons the emergency responder was requested on behalf of the resident. 2. Whether the resident receives medication services and, if the resident has provided this information to the assisted living center or assisted living home, a list of all the resident's prescription and over-the-counter medications, their dosages and how frequently they are administered. 3.

The deficient practice posed a health and safety risk to a resident who was administered a medication after the medication was stopped by a medical practitioner. Findings include: 1.

In documentation review, O1 submitted a report to the Compliance Officer, titled, "After Visit Summary," from the medical practitioner, dated "6/19/2024 - 6/22/2024." The summary documented, "... fall from ground level... frailty syndrome in geriatric patient, Blunt head injury, initial encounter, Chronic anticoagulation, Scalp laceration, initial encounter... no resolved problems...

During an interview, O2 reported being aware the hospital discontinued the Eliquis, following R1's hospital visit on June 19, 2024, and O2 reviewed with a facility caregiver within 48 hours of R1's discharge. O2 reported the resident had changes in services; from Home Health (with O2) to Hospice services, and then to a different Hospice agency (again with O2), and the first Hospice service agency may have continued the order for the Eliquis (no order in the record). However, on July 7, 2024, O2 found the Eliquis medication for R1 was on site, and O2 discontinued the order, and reviewed this change with E1, who worked as a medication tech that day. The order was sent to E1's telephone, as the facility's printer was not working. On July 26, 2024, O2 found R1 had an Eliquis medication blister pack "card: 2/2" on site, dated on July 11, 2024, as 56 tablets dispensed, and 22 tablets remained. 6. During an interview, the findings were reviewed with E1, who acknowledged the facility did not meet the resident's needs when a resident continued to receive a medication that was discontinued by the medical practitioner.”
“Based on documentation review, record review, and interview, for three of four caregivers reviewed, the manager failed to ensure a caregiver provided evidence of freedom from infectious tuberculosis (TB), as required by R9-10-113.
