Based on record review and interview, the manager failed to ensure a residency agreement included the policy and procedure for an assisted living facility to terminate residency, in compliance with A.A.C. R9-10-807(G), for three of three resident records reviewed.

Findings include:

1. A review of R1's, R2's, and R3's medical records revealed residency agreements. The residency agreements stated "...The Community may also terminate this Agreement after providing a 14-day written notice to the Resident or the Resident's representative for any of the following reasons: ...(b) The Resident's non-compliance with this Residency Agreement or community rules ...".

2. In an interview, E1 acknowledged R1's, R2's, and R3's residency agreements did not include the correct provisions for an assisted living facility to terminate residency.

Based on record review, and interview, the manager failed to ensure a medication administered to a resident was accurately documented in the resident's medical record, for one of three resident records reviewed. The deficient practice posed a risk as medication could not be verified as administered against a medication order.

Findings include:

1. A review of R1's medical record revealed a service plan for personal care services and medication administration.

2. A review of R1's medical record revealed a signed list of medication orders dated March 21, 2024. The list included "Sertraline HCI Oral Tablet 25 MG ... increase to 50mg qd (ok 25mgx2 until 50mg avail)".

3. A review of R1's medical record revealed a Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated March 2024. The MAR was initialed to indicate Sertraline 25 MG (two tablets) and Sertraline 50MG, were both administered on March 22 at 8am.

4. In an interview E1 reported the documentation was an error and the medications were not administered as documented on March 22, 2024 at 8am.

5. In an interview, E1 acknowledged a medication administered to a resident was not correctly documented in the resident's medical record.
