The Ching Villas: Pharmacy Service Failures - HI
The resident, identified in inspection records only as R3, had been at The Ching Villas on Liliha Street for roughly a year. During that time, her condition did not stabilize. It got worse. Physical therapy records from the spring of 2025 showed her mobility had declined sharply and her pain had increased. An occupational therapy evaluation from the same period found her self-care score had dropped from 10 out of 12 to 4, and her decision-making ability had gone from independent to severely impaired. Both her physical therapist and occupational therapist recommended she be placed in a skilled nursing facility.
The facility's social worker told inspectors on October 7 that staff had been working with R3's family to find long-term care placement for months, but hadn't succeeded due to bed availability and family preferences. The social worker agreed that a long-term care facility was the best option given how R3's condition had progressed.
The administrator, interviewed the same afternoon, said she generated the discharge notice to move the process along after a year of planning. She acknowledged she wasn't sure what reason to select on the form, and chose the option stating the resident's health had improved sufficiently that she no longer needed the facility's services. When inspectors asked about it, she agreed the form did not accurately reflect R3's condition.
She had also noted on the form that home was the discharge destination because that was what a family member wanted, while simultaneously telling inspectors she believed it was not safe for R3 to go home.
The facility's own documentation policy, reviewed by inspectors the following morning, states that medical records must be "timely, accurate, objective, thorough, and complete" and must "clearly reflect the condition of the patient."
R3's discharge form reflected none of those things. The administrator who signed it said so herself.
