resident to return.
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]."

During an interview on 3/15/2016 at 1:15 p.m.,
the Social Services Assistant (SSA) stated they
[the facility] "have exhausted options for the
resident... We have sent requests all over
Sacramento and Roseville... Either there are no
beds or they are not a locked facility... 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... Family said they
cannot afford."
During an interview on 3/15/2016 at 1:30 p.m.,
the Administrator (ADM) stated "... 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rescinded the Three Day Notice to allow the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.
Review of Resident 1's clinical record
document titled Progress Notes, dated
3/25/2016 at 12:27 p.m., indicated Resident 1
was transferred to the GACH 2 for medical
management to "stabilize acute behaviors."
On 3/28/2016 at 2:10 p.m. during a telephone
interview with the facility ADM, the ADM stated
"I did not issue a bed hold for the resident
because we were not going to take him back."
Review of facility document titled Bed Hold
Agreement revised 9/2011 indicated "If I am
away from the Center for more than 24 hours, I
will be offered the option to pay for a bed hold

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

antipsychotic drugs receive gradual dose
reductions, and behavioral interventions,
unless clinically contraindicated, in an effort to
discontinue these drugs.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observations, resident and staff
interviews, clinical record reviews, and review
of the facility's policies and procedures, the
facility failed to ensure adequate monitoring for
effectiveness of a psychotherapeutic (a drug
used for treatment of mental or emotional
disorder) medication for 1 of 3 sampled
residents (Resident 1) when a p.r.n. (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
