Summary
The facility failed to ensure that medications were properly stored in accordance with accepted professional principles, as evidenced by incomplete documentation of medication refrigerator temperatures in the South Wing. Review of the Refrigerator Temperature Log for August 2025 showed that temperature checks were not recorded for 13 out of 26 days. Direct observation confirmed missing entries on specific dates, and during an interview, the DON stated that temperatures should be checked and logged daily. The DON acknowledged that without complete temperature logs, staff could not verify that refrigerated medications were stored at the correct temperature.
