LPA interviewed the assistant administrator and denied the allegation and reported its a misunderstanding between hospital and facility and R1 already discharged back to the facility last week. Assistant Administrator reported that the facility only wanted to complete a reassessment before R1 returned back to the facility. The facility only wanted to follow the protocol and ensure R1 is safe to return back to the facility without higher level of care. The facility never denied or refused R1's returning. Assistant Administrator stated that due to R1 was in the hospital for two weeks and they observed R1 through face time and R1 was having a hard time standing up and R1 was very weak at that time. Therefore, the facility requested a clearance order from hospital for R1 to return from facility. Based upon interviews and records reviewed, the findings indicate that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted. A copy of the report and appeal right was provided to Assistant Administrator Jeenne Decastro.
