Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Residents Affected - Few
On 5/6/23 at 1:25 P.M., an interview and concurrent record review were conducted with the Director of
Nursing (DON) and Social Worker (SW). The SW stated her role in the discharge process was to assist with
resources, find placements, create referrals for Home Health/ ILF/ ALF. The SW stated, I find out where
they live during the first interview with the resident. I ask if they have income. I ask where they want to go,
and invite them to CP/ IDT meetings, talk with them about their plans. The DON stated Resident 1 ' s
discharge care plan was template interventions (a software generated selection that is not specialized to a
patient), not resident centered and specific, and there were no interventions for adjustment to living in a
shelter or car with new medical needs. The SW stated the facility did not provide Resident 1 with a Notice of
Proposed Discharge. A concurrent record review of a nursing discharge note dated 4/6/24 at 11 A.M.
indicated, discharge: friend ' s business (address). A record review of the IDT Discharge Planning Review
note dated 4/5/24 signed by the SW indicated the review was done one day prior to Resident 1 ' s
discharge.
On 5/6/23 at 2:30 P.M., an interview and concurrent record review were conducted with the DON and SW
regarding Resident 2. The DON stated Resident 2 ' s discharge care plan did not have specific
interventions regarding her goals. A concurrent review of the Notice of Proposed Transfer and discharge
date d 4/1/24 was conducted. The SW stated Resident 2 had been in the facility for several months but was
not given the notice 30 days prior to discharge. The SW stated, There was no notice given in advance, she
got it the same day she discharged . A review of the IDT Discharge Planning Review note dated 3/31/24
signed by the SW indicated the review was done one day prior to Resident 2 ' s discharge. No nursing
discharge note was produced during or after the onsite investigation.
On 5/6/24 at 3:20 P.M., an interview and concurrent record review were conducted with the DON and SW
regarding Resident 4. The DON stated Resident 4 did not have a discharge care plan. The SW stated the
first discharge planning note was on 4/19/24, one month after Resident 4 was admitted . The SW stated,
Patient was aware of discharge to shelter, he has no home. No one at a shelter can be relied on to provide
needed assistance. I didn ' t document his last covered day. We could have still skilled him (changed billing
status within the facility), I don ' t know what happened. Everyone at IDT knew he needed assistance. He
wanted to try ALF/ ILF. I don ' t know why we discharged this resident. The SW stated no 30-day notice of
discharge was given though Resident 4 was at the facility for more than 30 days. The DON stated, We do
not have a discharge note.
The DON and SW acknowledged the facility did not implement all steps of the facility discharge process as
indicated in the facility policy.
