**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to readmit one (1) of two (2) sampled residents (Resident 1)
back to the facility on 5/17/2025 after Resident 1 was discharged from General Acute Care Hospital
(GACH) back to the facility in accordance with the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Bed Holds and
Returns.
This deficient practice had the potential to violate the rights of Resident 1 and lengthen unnecessary stay in

[DATE] with diagnoses that including but not limit to spondylosis (gradual breakdown of the spine and
related structures), anxiety disorder (persistent and excessive worry that interferes with daily activities),
depression (a common mental health condition characterized by a persistent low mood, loss of interest or
pleasure in activities, and other symptoms that can significantly interfere with daily life) and borderline
personality disorder (a personality disorder characterized by severe mood swings, impulsive behavior, and
difficulty forming stable personal relationships).

2/1/2025, indicated the resident had no impairment of cognitive (capable of remembering, learning new
things, concentrating, or making decisions that affect everyday life) skills for daily decision making. Resident
1 required supervision (helper provides verbal cues or touching assistance) for upper and lower body
dressing and putting on/taking off footwear. Resident 1 required set up or clean up assistance (helper sets
up or cleans up) for eating, oral hygiene and personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 1's Physician Order Sheet (POS) for 5/2025, indicated Resident 1 had an order
to be transferred to GACH on 5/12/2025, due to danger to herself.
During a review of Resident 1's Progress Notes dated 5/12/2025 at 9:36 AM, Progress Notes indicated
Resident 1 was transferred to GACH on 5/12/2025 for further evaluation.
During a review of Resident 1's Progress Notes dated 5/16/2025 at 6:04 PM, Progress Notes indicated
GACH called facility to ask if facility could readmit Resident 1 but facility will not readmit Resident 1.

indicated Resident 1 is in stable condition and may be transferred back to facility but unable to return to
facility.
During an interview and record review on 5/19/2025 at 10:04 AM with the Director of Admissions (DOA) the
facility's census for 5/15/25 was reviewed. The census indicated there were beds available to admit
residents. DOA stated that GACH called on 5/16/25 to ask if Resident 1 can be readmitted . DOA stated
that the facility will not admit Resident 1 back to the facility by order of the Administrator (ADM).
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/19/2025 at 10:21 AM with the ADM, the facility's P&P
titled Bed Holds and Returns, revised 1/2001 was reviewed. The P&P indicated:
The requirement that residents be permitted to return to the facility following hospitalization or therapeutic
leave applies to all residents regardless of payer source.
Residents who seek to return to the facility within the bed hold period defined in the state plan are allowed
to return to their previous room, if available.
DON stated, the policy states the resident is allowed to return to the facility but Resident 1 was not allowed
to return. I don't want to accept her back because she had a dog that required a private room and she
caused a lot of problems for the facility.
