Summary
Surveyors observed that a resident had approximately ten bottles of pills and liquid supplements, including MCT oil, Nugenix Thermo X, weight loss probiotics, veggie capsules, testosterone boosters, and fruit dietary supplements, stored unsecured on top of the bedside nightstand. These items were clearly visible upon entering the resident's side of the room. During interviews, the resident confirmed daily use of these supplements and acknowledged storing them on the nightstand. The DON confirmed that the resident had not been assessed for self-administration of medication and was aware that medications were not to be stored at the bedside.
