Summary

Surveyors identified a failure to ensure drugs and biologicals were properly managed and stored when expired medications were found in the facility’s medication storage room. During an inspection of the medication room refrigerator with the ADON, five acetaminophen suppositories with an expiration date of 10/2025 were observed still stored inside. The ADON acknowledged that the acetaminophen suppositories were expired and confirmed they should not have been kept in the refrigerator.

This deficiency involved the medication storage area only; no specific residents or administrations of the expired medications were described in the report. The report stated that this failed practice created the potential for adverse effects if residents received expired medications with decreased efficacy.
