Plain-language summary
A routine inspection of The Cottages of Spokane in November 2024 found deficiencies in medication administration: one resident did not receive seizure, water-removal, and potassium medications on seven separate dates because staff documented the resident was sleeping but did not attempt to give the medications again later, and another resident received a blood pressure medication on two dates when their blood pressure readings were too high and the medication should have been held. The facility's nursing director confirmed that re-attempts to administer missed medications should have been made.
“Facility failed to ensure medications were administered to residents as ordered by the medical provider for 2 of 10 residents (Resident 2 and 5) and failed to monitor a resident's blood pressure daily to determine if a medication should be administered or held. Resident 2 did not receive divalproex, furosemide, and potassium chloride on multiple dates, with staff noting "resident sleeping" as reason.”
