readmitted to the facility in a timely manner

Resident 1 being displaced from his home.

Recommendations," dated 11/16/18 and timed
at 2:30 p.m., showed that a normally alert and
oriented Resident 1 was noted to have an
episode of confusion on 11/16/18. He was
unable to name the staff that he had known
and was unusually sleepy.
A review of the facility Nurse Notes, dated
11/16/18 at 2:45 p.m., showed that the resident

primary care physician for instructions. Further
review of the same note showed that the
resident was transferred to a local area hospital
(Hospital 1) at 4 p.m. The facility was informed
at 11:50 p.m. that Resident 1 was going to be
admitted to the Hospital 1 for a bladder
infection.
During a telephone interview on 11/27/18 at
1:56 p.m., the hospital Social Worker (SW)
stated Resident 1 was admitted to the Hospital
1 on 11/16/18 and had been ready to go back
to the facility on 11/20/18. SW stated when she
contacted the facility on 11/20/18 to notify them
of Resident 1's readiness to return, the Director
of Staff Development (DSD) told her the facility
was not able to take him back. SW further
stated Resident had not developed any new
medical conditions during his current hospital
stay which would make it inappropriate for him
to be transferred back to his facility and that his
bladder infection was treated.
During a telephone interview with Resident 1
on 11/27/18 at 9 a.m., Resident 1 stated when
he was a patient at a Hospital 1, he found out
from SW that his facility was refusing to
readmit him. Resident 1 stated he lived in that
facility for six years and he considered it his
home. In another telephone interview on
11/29/18 at 3:30 p.m., Resident 1 stated he
was worried and anxious about the possibility
of not being able to return to the facility.
A review of Hospital 1's Discharge Summary
dated 12/14/18 indicated Resident 1 was
admitted on 11/16/18 for principal diagnosis of
septic shock (a widespread infection causing
organ failure and dangerously low blood
pressure) from a bladder infection. According to
the Discharge Summary, Resident 1's condition
was stable and ready to be discharged back to
his skilled nursing facility on 11/20/18.
