There was no exchange in communications by the family nor the facility on whether R1 would be returning. No notice was given by resident(R1) to the facility of their plans to leave the facility, as indicated in the admissions agreement a 30-day notice is expected by the facility for anyone moving out of the facility. The administrator is refusing to allow the resident back into the facility citing no beds available. The capacity of the facility is 150 beds and todays census is 146, therefore the facility has room for four more residents until full to capacity. Administrator stated that four beds were reserved for new residents, however the facility is taking new residents when exsisting residents are still admitted to facility. The facility is in direct violation of the admissions agreement. R1 is ready to be discharged from the hospital however facility does not have room available, R1 room was given to another resident.
