Inspectors from the Agency for Health Care Administration found a total collapse in delivery of care when asked to inspect the assisted living facility following the death of the resident. Inspectors found that a resident died from a failure to administer prescribed heart medication, and that another resident had to be hospitalized when given blood thinning medication that had not been prescribed. Employees were also found to have falsified medication administration records and nurses’ orders.
