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
interview and record review, the facility failed to:1. Re-admit one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) to
the facility after Resident 1 was evaluated and cleared by the General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) to
return to the facility.2. Ensure the facility followed its policy and procedure (P&P), titled Bed Holds which
indicated if the resident's hospitalization or therapeutic leave exceeds the bed-hold period of (7) days, the
resident may return to the facility to their previous room, if available, or immediately upon the first
availability of a bed, if the resident requires the services provided by the facility.This deficient practice
resulted in Resident 1 being unable to return to the skilled nursing facility (SNF) that has been considered
their home, for about 12 months after being deemed appropriate for transfer to the SNF. As a result,
Resident 1 was transferred to another SNF, and both the Resident 1 and Family Member (FM) 1
experienced unnecessarily psychosocial harm, including emotional distress and dissatisfaction.Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 1 on [DATE] with diagnoses including psychotic disorder (severe mental illnesses where people
lose touch with reality) with hallucinations ( a sensory experience that feels real but is not based on an
external stimulus) and major depressive disorder( a serious mental health condition characterized by
persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest in activities, and a lack of energy that significantly impact
daily life). During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical Examination (H&P), dated [DATE], the H&P
indicated, Resident 1 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 1's
Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 1's
cognitive (functions your brain uses to think, pay attention, process information, and remember things) was
intact. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required setup assistance (helper sets up or cleans up) with eating,
oral hygiene, moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort to complete the task) with toileting
hygiene, personal hygiene, maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort to complete task)
with showering, and dressing. During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report, dated [DATE], the
Order Summary Report indicated the facility may transfer Resident 1 to a GACH for psych evaluation and
bed-hold for seven days. During a review of Resident 1's Notice of Transfer/Discharge, dated [DATE], the
Notice of Transfer indicated the facility transferred Resident 1 to the GACH. During a review of Resident 1's
Nursing Life Cyle (NLC) at the GACH, dated [DATE], the NLC indicated the physician at the GACH ordered
to discharge Resident 1 back to the facility on [DATE]. During a review of Resident 1's Discharge Planning
note at the GACH, dated [DATE], at 3:07 p.m., the Discharge Planning note indicated, Director of
Community Liaison (DCL) 1 at the facility informed the Discharge Care Planner (DCP) 1 at GACH that the
facility did not have a bed available for the patient but they will refer to a sister facility who can
accommodate Resident 1 until a bed becomes available. The Discharge Planning note indicated, DCP1
spoke to Resident 1's family

Provide the required documentation or notification related to the resident's needs, appeal rights, or
bed-hold policies.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide a completed written Bed Hold notification
to one of one sampled resident (Resident 1) upon transfer on 7/15/2025 to the General Acute Care Hospital
(GACH). This failure had the potential to result in a resident and/or their representative being unaware of
their right to return to the facility within the designated bed-hold period, potentially leading to unnecessary
displacement.Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated
the facility admitted Resident 1 on 7/24/2024 with diagnoses including psychotic disorder (severe mental
illnesses where people lose touch with reality) with hallucinations ( a sensory experience that feels real but
is not based on an external stimulus) and major depressive disorder( a serious mental health condition
characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest in activities, and a lack of energy that
significantly impact daily life). During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical Examination (H&P),
dated 7/26/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 1 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. During
a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 4/28/2025, indicated
Resident 1's cognitive (functions your brain uses to think, pay attention, process information, and remember
things) was intact. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required setup assistance (helper sets up or cleans up)
with eating, oral hygiene, moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort to complete the task)
with toileting hygiene, personal hygiene, maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort to
complete task) with showering, and dressing. During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report,
dated 7/15/2025, the Order Summary Report indicated the facility may transfer Resident 1 to a GACH for
psychological evaluation and bed-hold for seven days. During a review of Resident 1's Notice of
Transfer/Discharge, dated 7/15/2025, the Notice of Transfer indicated the facility transferred Resident 1 to
the GACH. During a review of Resident 1's Bed Hold Notification, dated 7/15/2025, the Bed Hold
Notification indicated the section for the resident or resident representative's response was left blank,
including the resident's desire for bed hold, date and time of notification, and the facility representative's
signature. During a concurrent interview and record review on 7/31/2025 at 4:35 p.m. with the Director of
Nursing (DON), Resident 1's Bed Hold Notification, dated 7/15/2025, was reviewed. The DON stated facility
staff did not notify Resident 1 of the Bed Hold notification upon transfer. The DON stated the Bed Hold
Notification lacked documentation of Resident 1's desire for bed hold, the resident or representative's
signature, the date and time, and the facility representative's signature. The DON stated there was no
documentation indicating Resident 1 refused to sign the form. The DON stated providing bed hold
notification upon transfer is essential to ensure the residents are informed of their right to seven-day bed
hold. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Bed hold, revised 12/2023, the P&P
indicated the resident, or the resident's representative shall be informed in writing of their right to exercise
the bed hold provision in the event of a transfer from the facility to a general acute care hospital or at the
start of a resident's therapeutic leave.
