Ensure the transfer/discharge meets the resident's needs/preferences and that the resident is prepared for
a safe transfer/discharge.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement a safe discharge for one of three
sampled residents (Resident 1), who uses a wheelchair and required partial to moderate assistance with
mobility and ADLs (Activities of Daily Living-basic self-care task such as bathing, dressing, toileting, getting
in and out of bed), when the facility failed to assess the resident for appropriate discharge placement. 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. Findings:On
October 2 and 8, 2025, an unannounced visit was made to the facility to investigate a discharge rights
concern. A review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], with diagnoses which included cerebral infarction (stroke-medical emergency that occurs when
blood flow to the brain is interrupted or reduced) and a history of falls. A review of Resident 1's, History of
Physical, dated, July 19, 2025, indicated the resident was admitted to the facility for physical therapy and
occupational therapy, has general weakness, and has the capacity to understand and make decisions.A
review of Resident 1's Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS- a cognitive assessment tool), dated, July 25,
2025, indicated a score of 12 (meaning moderate cognitive impairment). A review of Resident 1's, Minimum
Data Set (MDS-A comprehensive assessment of resident's healthcare), section GG (Functional Abilities),
dated, July 25, 2025, indicated the following: a. Resident 1 uses a wheelchair for mobility, is impaired on
one side of lower extremities; b. Requires partial/moderate assistance (Helper does LESS THAN HALF the
effort. Helper lifts, holds, or support trunks or limbs, but provides less than half the effort) to complete
oral/personal hygiene and dressing upper body;c. Requires Substantial/maximal assistance (helper does
more than half the effort) to complete showering, lower body dressing, putting on and off footwear and
toileting hygiene;d. Requires partial/moderate assistance with lying to sitting in bed; and e. Requires
Substantial/maximal assistance with sitting to standing, tub/shower transfers and transfers to and from the
toilet. A review of Resident 1's, Progress Notes, dated August 11, 2025, at 2:40 p.m., by the Case Manager
(CM), . Resident met with CM requesting to be (discharged ) and would like assistance with placement .On
October 2, 2025, at 3:42 p.m., during an interview with the CM, she stated the following: a. Her role in

reported that the resident (Resident 1) was very independent and could walk with a walker (Assistive
device);c. Resident 1 presented to the room and board in a wheelchair and could not walk;d. The minute
the resident arrived at the room and board, she told the resident he was not going to be able to stay at the
room and board because they did not have the caregiver services the resident would require, and the
resident could only stay for a few days;e. She originally arranged for the resident (Resident 1) to have a
bedroom upstairs because she was told by the 3rd party agency he could walk, but the resident could not

placing a twin bed in the living room; f. The resident (Resident 1) was unsteady on his feet and would fall
every day. She did not believe the resident hurt himself during falls, as he was a light guy and she would
have to pick the resident up and put him back in the wheelchair;g. She did not speak to anyone at the
facility regarding the resident being inappropriate to live in the room and board, because she thought
resident would need a referral to go back to the facility; andh. She took the resident (Resident 1) to hospital
because she could not provide care for him. A review of Resident 1's GACH Emergency Department
Record dated September 25, 2025, at 3:23 p.m., (8 days after the resident was discharged to the room and

Discharge Planning 1. Every resident has an individualized discharge plan, which begins at admission and
is part of the comprehensive care plan .3. The discharge plan is developed by the care
planning/interdisciplinary team with the assistance of the resident and the representative to develop
interventions to meet the resident's discharge goals and needs that must be addressed before the resident
can be safely discharged (e.g. care giver support and education, rehabilitation .) 4. 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. A member of the IDT reviews the final
discharge plan with the resident and family at least twenty-four (24) hours before the discharge is to take
place .Discharge to the Community . 2. If the resident indicates an interest in returning to the community,
the facility determines if appropriate and adequate support is in place. This may include the capacity of the
resident's caregivers at home .5. If a resident wishes to be discharge to a setting that does not appear to
meet his or her post-discharge needs, or appears unsafe, the facility treats this situation similarly to refusal
of care, and will: a. discuss with the resident .and document the implications and/or risks of being
discharged to a location that is not equipped to meet his/her needs and attempt to ascertain why the
resident is choosing that location; b. document that other, more suitable locations equipped to meet the
needs of the resident were presented and discussed .
