At the time of transfer of a resident for hospitalization or therapeutic leave, a nursing facility must provide to the resident and a family member or legal representative written notice which specifies the duration of the bed-hold policy described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interviews, clinical record review, and facility policy and procedure review, the facility failed to: Provide a 7 day bed hold notice to 1 of 3 sampled residents (Resident 1) when Resident 1 was transferred to a General Acute Care Hospital (GACH 2). These failures had the potential to increase emotional distress for Resident 1 and worry to family members. Findings: Resident 1 was an 83 year old admitted to the facility in late February from the GACH 1 with dementia (a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life) and Alzheimer's (a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior). During a telephone interview on 3/15/2016 at 9:20 a.m., Resident 1's daughter stated "...on 3/11/2016 we received a Three Day Notice of transfer/discharge to another facility to occur on 3/14/2016... We are not happy with the decision and would like more time to find a more appropriate home for [Resident 1]."

Resident 1 has a bed at [named skilled nursing home] and [named locked assisted living facility]...the family would have to pay for the [assisted living facility] until Medi-Cal kicked in and they could then apply for a waiver...

I have rescinded the Three Day Notice to allow the family more time to find a place for [Resident 1]." During a telephone interview on 3/16/2016 at 11:15 a.m., Resident 1's family member stated Resident 1's Responsible Party received a new Three Day Notice of transfer/discharge to occur on 3/18/2016 to the same alternate facility in the prior notice.

F329 SS=D DRUG REGIMEN IS FREE FROM UNNECESSARY DRUGS CFR(s): 483.25(l)
F329 03/02/2017 Each resident's drug regimen must be free from unnecessary drugs. An unnecessary drug is any drug when used in excessive dose (including duplicate therapy); or for excessive duration; or without adequate monitoring; or without adequate indications for its use; or in the presence of adverse consequences which indicate the dose should be reduced or discontinued; or any combinations of the reasons above. Based on a comprehensive assessment of a resident, the facility must ensure that residents who have not used antipsychotic drugs are not given these drugs unless antipsychotic drug therapy is necessary to treat a specific condition as diagnosed and documented in the FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: YS2211 Facility ID: CA030000820 If continuation sheet 4 of 7 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

(as needed) dose was administered without an indication for use. This failure had the potential to place Resident 1 at higher risk for adverse effects of an antipsychotic. Findings: Resident 1 was an 83 year old admitted to the facility in late February from the General Acute Care (GACH 1) with dementia (a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life) and Alzheimer's (a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior).
