Summary
Residents were not allowed to self-administer their medications, despite it being clinically appropriate to do so. The facility failed to assess and permit residents to manage their own drug administration when it was determined to be suitable for their clinical condition. This deficiency was identified based on the facility's inaction in supporting resident autonomy in medication management as appropriate.
