ROCHESTER, Minn. — The Minnesota Health Department cited a Rochester nursing home for negligence that led to a resident’s heart failure. Gigged was the Rochester Rehabilitation and Living Center at 900 Ballington Boulevard Northwest. An attendant failed to catch a pharmacy mistake and administered way too much medication, according to the state investigator. Protocol requires double-checking dosages to assure they match the doctor’s prescription. In a second lapse, the mistake wasn’t noticed until 13 doses later. The resident was sent to a hospital to recover.
