when you leave for 2 days on christmas and lock your door. The staff goes in and cleans out all your creams and so on. Not telling you anything about it. Is this a legal issue or ethical and what can be done about this?What if you live in an assisted living and you have some over the counter medicines, creams and so on and....?
Technically in an assisted living facility ANY medications, prescription or not, should be kept in the medication cart or cabinet by the staff. Having them in the room is a liability and it's too easy for others to raid. Not to mention all medications need to be monitored and dispensed only by delegated staff. However the staff should have been professional enough to discuss the situation with the resident instead of simply removing them from the room.
