32 | Regarding the allegation, Staff do not ensure residents medications are being properly managed, it was alleged that facility staff did not administer medication as prescribed. Based on record review, Yorba Linda Pharmacy received an order for R1 on September 17, 2025 from Dr. Muhammad. The order for Levofloxacin was filled and delivered to the facility on September 19, 2025. According to facility staff, when a medication is delivered to the facility and pending, it is physically placed with the Centrally Stored Medication. Prior to administration, a nurse reviews and approves the medication, and places it in the medication cart. When approved, the medication populates on the MARs and Med Techs are able to begin administering the medication to the resident. Facility progress notes indicate that on September 19, 2025 at 21:25, the medication was administered to R1 “at 9pm per Wellness Nurse”, however this is not reflected on the Medication Administration Records (MARs). On September 20, 2025 at 10:03, a progress note states the medication is not available. On September 21, September 23, and September 27, 2025, progress notes state the medication is not located in the med cart and staff will follow up with the pharmacy. Per the MAR, on September 21 and September 23, 2025, the medication was administered to R1 and signed by Med Techs. These errors were not reported to the Department as of June 4, 2026.
Based on record review and observations made during the investigation, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met for allegation: Staff do not ensure residents medications are being properly managed is deemed SUBSTANTIATED.
