Illegal eviction. Personal rights. It has been determined regarding the above allegations from record review and through correspondence from facility, the facility communicated with R1's authorized representative in a timely and appropriate manner and provided R1 every reasonable opportunity to return to the facility from the hospital. Facility stated they never refused to take R1 back or issued any form of eviction, on 06/16/2022 the authorized representative was simply made aware, that due to R1’s rapidly declining condition at the hospital, and facility being non-medical, that R1 would either have to be stabilized at a rehabilitation facility or return to facility on hospice, as the hospital already said R1 qualified. Authorized representative agreed to hospice and then later declined after R1 was already back at the facility. On 06/17/2022 because R1 was not on hospice R1 had to be sent back to Mercy ER for low O2. Then on 6/20/2022 R1 was signed onto hospice by authorized representative and R1 returned to the facility. Based on records reviewed to support facility's statement: -Facility's documentation for R1 from 06/16/2022, 06/17/2022, and 6/20/2022 that coincide with facility's statement. -Mercy ER's admission and discharge orders for R1 confirmed with the dates the facility stated. The department has determined that the complaint alleging an illegal eviction and personal rights violation was UNFOUNDED meaning that the allegations were false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. No citations are being issued as a result of today's visit. Exit interview was conducted and a copy of report was provided to Administrator.
