Plain-language summary
During an unannounced full inspection conducted February 21–27, 2025, DSHS inspectors found that Sunshine Terrace failed to ensure safe medication administration for one resident with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, as a prescribed breathing treatment was left in a drawer and marked as given on medication records without actually being administered to the resident for weeks. The resident had been requesting this nebulizer treatment since discharge from the hospital, where it had significantly helped their breathing, but the facility did not properly deliver it despite the doctor's order. A deficiency was cited related to medication services requirements.
“Facility failed to ensure a safe medication administration system for one resident, resulting in missed breathing treatments for weeks. Staff found an unopened multi-vial medication package in a drawer and signed it off as administered without the resident actually receiving it, placing the resident at risk of increased respiratory difficulty.”
“Facility failed to notify the prescribing provider when three residents (Residents 6, 13, and 15) refused their medications. This resulted in providers being unaware that residents were not receiving medications as prescribed and placed residents at risk of health complications.”
