The resident was discharged to a two-story room and board without personal care assistance and was given a bedroom on the second floor. The facility also failed to verify and ensure the receiving facility could meet the resident's care needs. This failure resulted in Resident 1 sleeping in the dining room without privacy, experiencing multiple falls and had caused psychological distress (state of mental and emotional discomfort characterized by negative feelings). The resident was eventually transferred to the general acute care hospital (GACH) due to inability of the room and board to provide the required services.

The discharge plan is based on the resident assessment, the goals for care, the desire for discharge and the resident's capacity for discharge. 5. Discharge planning identified the discharge destination and ensures that it meets the resident's health and safety needs as well as preferences. 6. The discharge plan is re-evaluated based on changes in the resident's condition or needs prior to discharge. 7.
