d/b/a Bayview Retirement Home (hereinafter ‘Bayview
Retirement Home”), pursuant to Chapter 429, Part I, and
Section 120.60, Florida Statutes, (2007), and alleges:
NATURE OF THE ACTION

of $10,750.00 pursuant. to Section 429.19, Florida Statutes
(2007), for the protection of the public health, safety and

120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes, and 28-106, Florida
Administrative Code.

Administrative Code.
PARTIES

licensure and enforcement of all applicable statutes and
rules governing assisted living facilities, pursuant to
Chapter 429, Part I, Florida Statutes (2007), and Chapter
58A-5, Florida Administrative Code.
5. Bayview Retirement Home operates a 12-bed assisted
living facility located at 2625 N.E. 137 court, Fort
Lauderdale, Florida 33304. Bayview Retirement Home is
licensed as an assisted living facility license number
AL10479, with an expiration date of July 12, 2008. Bayview
Retirement Home was at all times material hereto a licensed
facility under the licensing authority of AHCA and was

Rule 58A-5.0185(5) (b), Florida Administrative Code
(MEDICATION STANDARDS)
CLASS II VIOLATION
6. AHCA re-alleges and incorporates paragraphs (1)
through (5) as if fully set forth herein.
7. During the second revisit conducted on 7/31/07 and
based on record review and interview with the Administrator
at approximately 11:00 AM, on the day of the survey, the
facility failed to maintain an accurate Medication
“Observation Record (MOR) for one of six current resident
records reviewed. The assisting of residents with
medications and not maintaining an accurate record directly
threatens the physical health of these residents.
8. A review of the July 2007 MOR and medications for
Resident #1 revealed the resident was prescribed Depakote
250 mg, 1 tab BID and Lasix 40 mg, 2 tabs BID. The
Medication Observation Record (MOR) for this resident stated
Depakote 1 tab BID and Lasix 40 mg, 2 tabs BID. The
Administrator/facility staff signed the MOR when these
medications were assisted in the AM and not in the PM for
the entire month of July 2007.. The Administrator when
interviewed stated she did not know that she had to sign the
MOR each time she provided the resident with medication
assistance per the physician's order.
9. The absence of accurate documentation of
medication assistance as prescribed by the residents'
physicians directly threatens the physical health of these
residents.
10. This was confirmed by the Administrator on 7/31/07
at approximately 12:00 PM. This deficiency was previously
cited during the 4/30/07 complaint investigation and the
6/20/07 follow-up visit.
11. Based on the foregoing, Bayview Retirement Home
violated Rule 58A-5.0185(5) (b), Florida Administrative Code,
a Class II deficiency, which carries, in this case, an

Rule 58A-5.033(4) (a)1., Florida Administrative Code
(MEDICATION STANDARDS)
UNCORRECTED CLASS III VIOLATION
12. AHCA re-alleges and incorporates paragraphs (1)
through (5) as if fully set forth herein.
13. During the follow-up visit conducted on 6/20/07
and based on record review and interview with the
Administrator, at approximately 12:00 PM on the day of the
survey, the facility failed to employ the services of a
pharmacist as was directed in the survey report of 4/30/07
pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 429.42 Florida
Statutes, and 58A-5.033(4) Florida Administrative Code.
14. The facility at this survey did not maintain an

medications.
16. The above medication problems were found to be
uncorrected at this survey on 6/20/07. The facility failed

17. During the second revisit conducted on 7/31/07 and
based on record review and interview with the Administrator
at approximately 11:30 AM, on the day of the survey, the
facility failed to employ the services of a pharmacist as
was directed in the survey report of 4/30/07 and 6/20/07
pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 429.42 Florida
Statutes, and Rule 58A-5.033(4) Florida Administrative Code.
18. The facility at this survey did not maintain an
accurate Medication Observation Record (MOR) for one of six
current resident records reviewed. The facility’s failure to
provide appropriate assistance with medications to the
residents and its failure to maintain an accurate medication
observation record (MOR) directly threatens the physical
health of these residents.

uncorrected at this survey on 7/31/07. The facility failed
