Notify the resident or the resident’s representative in writing how long the nursing home will hold the
resident’s bed in cases of transfer to a hospital or therapeutic leave.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled
residents (Resident 1) and/or the resident's representative was provided a written bed hold policy prior to
the transfer. This failure had the potential for the resident or resident's representative to not be informed of
their rights to return to the facility following a hospitalization.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Bed-holds and Returns revised 3/2017 showed prior to the transfers, the
residents or residents' representatives will be informed in writing of the bed hold and return policy.
Medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 1/10/25. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], transferred to the acute care hospital on [DATE], and readmitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident 1's H&P examination dated 12/30/24, showed Resident 1 had impaired judgment and
did not have mental capacity to make decisions.
Review of Resident 1's progress notes dated 12/12/24, showed the physician assessed Resident 1 and
ordered for Resident 1's transfer to the acute care hospital.
Further review of Resident 1's medical record failed to show Resident 1 and/or the resident's representative
was informed of the facility's bed hold policy before transferring to the acute care hospital.
On 1/15/25 at 1425 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the
DON. The DON confirmed the admission part on the bed hold informed consent on admission for Resident
1 was blank. Furthermore, the DON stated the bed hold informed consent should be explained to the
resident or resident's representative on admission.
