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 ensure one of four sampled residents
(Resident 1) discharged appropriately when:1. Final discharge instructions were not reviewed with the
Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA-a legal document that gives one person the authority to make medical
decisions for another person),2. Resident 1 was discharged without needed supplies (tube feeding formula
and a glucometer),3. Discharge orders were to discharge home with home health; however, Resident 1 was
discharged to a board and care, and4. No clinical evaluation was completed for Resident 1 to determine
discharge needs and/or discharge potential.These failures placed Resident 1 at risk for potential harm due
to inadequate discharge planning, lack of continuity of care and an increased risk of deterioration in the
resident's health status resulting from absence of appropriate clinical oversight. Findings:Resident 1 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included metabolic encephalopathy (brain function
disruption due to chemicals in the body), severe protein-calorie malnutrition, and cognitive communication
deficit (difficulties in communication that arise from impairments in thinking, learning, and remembering).
Resident 1 had a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status-an assessment tool used by facilities to screen
and identify memory, orientation, and judgement status of the resident) score of 10 out of 15 which
indicated Resident 1 was moderately impaired in cognition. Resident 1 was discharged from the facility on
7/29/25 to a board and care, a non-medical residential setting that provides room, board, supervision and
assistant with activities of daily living, not licensed to provide skilled nursing care.During a telephone
interview on 7/30/25 at 2:08 p.m. with DPOA of Resident 1, the DPOA/RP ( also a Responsible Party)
voiced that Resident 1 had been discharged unsafely from the facility. The DPOA/RP stated Resident 1
lacked capacity for healthcare decisions and the facility did not review discharge instructions with him,
Resident 1's DPOA and RP, prior to Resident 1's discharge. The DPOA stated the facility had not provided
needed tube feeding formula for Resident 1 at the time of discharge and expressed his concerns that
Resident 1 could be re-hospitalized for high blood sugars because Resident 1 did not have access to a
glucometer. During an interview on 7/31/25 at 2:36 p.m. with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) 1,
ADON 1 stated she discharged Resident 1 from the facility to a board and care on 7/29/25. ADON 1 stated
she was aware Resident 1 was not her own RP and it was expected to review discharge instructions with
the RP. When ADON 1 was asked if it was appropriate to go over discharge instructions with a resident who
lacked capacity, ADON 1 answered, No. ADON 1 further stated she reviewed Resident 1's Recapitulation of
Stay (ROS) dated 7/29/25, with Resident 1 and acquired Resident 1's signature. ADON 1 further stated she
discharged Resident 1 from the facility without tube feeding formula, although she was aware Resident 1
had a gastrostomy (a surgical opening fitted with a device to allow feedings to be administered directly to
the stomach common for people with swallowing problems) tube for supplemental feedings. ADON 1 further
stated Resident 1 required blood sugar

indicated Resident 1 was ready for discharge or addressed the resident's discharge potential. When the
DON was asked to provide any clinician assessments or progress notes indicating Resident 1 was safe to
discharge, the DON was not able to provide one. During a phone interview on 8/4/25 at 1:26 p.m. with NP

discharge home with home health RN/PT/OT and DME if needed. NP 1 explained that her discharge order
for Resident 1 was May discharge to home . When questioned about the discrepancy between this order
and the resident's actual discharge disposition to a boarding and care, the NP1 stated, Wherever she's
living is considered home and indicated there was no discrepancy. Regarding NP's role in resident's
discharge process, NP 1 stated, My only role is to give a discharge order. NP 1 stated the last time she
assessed Resident 1 was on 7/17/25 and confirmed she did not speak with Resident 1's RP, stating, No.
