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 (SNF 1) failed to ensure one of three sampled
residents (Resident 1) was readmitted to the first available bed, after Resident 1 was transferred to General
Acute Care Hospital 2 (GACH 2) on [DATE], in accordance with the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P)
titled Readmission. Resident 1 was admitted /transferred from GACH 2 to GACH 1 on [DATE]. The facility
failed to readmit Resident 1 from GACH 1 for seven days from [DATE] through [DATE]. This violation
resulted in Resident 1 remaining in GACH 1, delayed Resident 1's return to SNF 1 and had the potential to
negatively impact Resident 1's care and services. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission
Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 1 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted
on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side
of the body) and bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that ranged
from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs). During a review of Resident 1's History
and Physical (H&P) dated [DATE], the H&P indicated Resident 1 did not have 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 had severe cognitive impairment (confusion or memory loss).
The MDS indicated Resident 1 was dependent (helper did all the effort) on staff with oral hygiene, personal
hygiene, toileting hygiene, showering, and transferring. During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary
Report (OSR), as of [DATE], the OSR indicated a physician's order to transfer Resident 1 to GACH 2 for
further evaluation with bed hold for seven days on [DATE]. During a review of Resident 1's Notice of
Proposed Transfer/Discharge (NPTD), dated [DATE], the NPTD indicated Resident 1 was transferred to
GACH 2 due to tachycardia (an abnormally fast heart rate) and desaturation (the oxygen level in the blood
dropped below normal). The NPTD indicated the reason for Resident 1's transfer was necessary for the
resident's welfare and the resident's needs could not be met in the facility. During a review of Resident 1's
Transfer Bed-Hold Notification (TBHN), dated [DATE], the TBHN indicated Resident 1 had seven days
bed-hold when transferred to GACH 2 on [DATE]. The TBHN indicated Resident 1 had the right to be
re-admitted to the facility upon the first availability of a bed even if the hospitalization exceeded the
bed-hold period. During a review of Resident 1's GACH 1 physician's orders (PO) dated [DATE] through
[DATE], the PO indicated to discharge Resident 1 back to Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) when bed was
available on [DATE]. During a review of Resident 1's GACH 1 Case Manager Progress Notes (CMPN)
dated [DATE] to [DATE], the CMPN indicated GACH 1 faxed the inquiry (the formal documentation sent by
the GACH to a SNF to initiate the transfer or discharge of a resident) to the facility on [DATE] at 3:59 PM.
The CMPN indicated the facility stated Resident 1's admission back to SNF1 was pending for review on
[DATE]. The CMPN indicated the facility's Director of Business Development (DOBD) stated the facility
accepted Resident 1 and needed bed arrangements before the facility could

(AC) stated Resident 1 did not have a bed-hold in the facility since [DATE]. The CMPN indicated on [DATE],

interview with Complainant 1 on [DATE] at 12 PM, Complainant 1 stated Resident 1 was still in GACH 1
because the facility stated there were no beds available to readmit Resident 1. During an observation on
[DATE] at 3:14 PM, in the facility's Nursing Unit Station 2, Room A Bed B was vacant/unoccupied During an
interview on [DATE] at 3:18 PM with Resident 2, Resident 2 stated Room A Bed B had been vacant since
Resident 1 was transferred to GACH 2 on [DATE]. During an interview with the AC on [DATE] at 9:26 AM,
the AC stated the AC verified insurance eligibility of the resident referred from GACH prior to admission.
The AC stated the facility's Director of Nursing (DON) was responsible for reviewing the GACH inquiry and
approving the admission along with the Administrator (ADM). The AC stated that the AC checked the bed
availability in the facility using the Daily Census. The AC stated the residents had seven days' bed-hold to
return to the same bed when they were transferred to GACH. The AC stated if the resident wished to return
to the facility after the seven days' bed-hold, the facility should readmit the resident. The AC stated Resident
1's bed-hold expired on [DATE]. During a concurrent record review and interview with the AC on [DATE] at
9:26 AM, the AC 's cellphone group text with the facility's admission team dated [DATE] was reviewed. The
group text indicated Resident 1's GACH 1 inquiry was forwarded to the ADM and DON on [DATE] at 10:59
AM. The AC stated the double check mark signs in the group text indicated the ADM and the DON were
aware of Resident 1's inquiry. The AC stated the ADM, and the DON instructed the AC to verify Resident
1's insurance eligibility before re-admitting Resident 1. During a concurrent record review and interview with
the AC on [DATE] at 9:26 AM, Resident 1's Insurance Eligibility Form (IEF) dated [DATE] was reviewed. The
IEF indicated Resident 1 was eligible for Medi-Cal with M1 code. The AC stated the facility should have
re-admitted Resident 1 regardless of the M1 code because Resident 1 was Medi-Cal eligible. The AC
stated the AC was unable to verify Resident 1's insurance eligibility because of the M1 code on [DATE]. The
AC stated the AC informed the ADM and the business office regarding Resident 1's M1 code on [DATE].
The AC stated Resident 1's insurance eligibility did not change since [DATE]. The AC stated, on [DATE], the
ADM instructed the AC to hold on Resident 1's re-admission to the facility because of Resident 1's
insurance eligibility with the M1 code. During a concurrent record review and interview with the AC on
[DATE] at 9:26 AM, the facility's Daily Census dated [DATE] to [DATE], was reviewed. The AC stated the
Daily Census indicated a bed was available for re-admitting Resident 1 from [DATE] to [DATE]. The AC
stated the ADM instructed the AC to inform GACH 1 that the facility did not have available bed to re-admit
Resident 1 on [DATE]. The AC stated, not readmitting back Resident 1 timely held Resident 1 up in GACH 1
unnecessarily. During an interview with the facility's DON on [DATE] at 11:16 AM, the DON stated the DON
should have reviewed the GACH inquiry for Resident 1's re-admission right away and not to hold up the
readmission process. The DON stated Room A Bed B was held for Resident 1 since [DATE], and no
residents were admitted to it. The DON stated Room A Bed B was available to re-admit Resident 1 since
[DATE]. During a concurrent record review and interview with the ADM on [DATE] at 12:21 PM, the facility's
P&P titled admission and Orientation of Residents, revised [DATE], was reviewed. The P&P indicated The
facility will not require a third-party guarantee of payment to the facility as a condition of admission or
expedited admission or continued stay in the facility. The ADM stated the P&P indicated the facility should
accept the resident back regardless of their insurance eligibility. The ADM stated it was important to readmit
residents

back to the facility because the residents were in the facility for long-term purposes and considered the
facility as their home. The ADM stated it was the resident's right to be readmitted back to the facility from
the GACH. The ADM stated the facility could not deny a resident even if the residents had issues with
insurance eligibility. The ADM stated the M1 code indicated the resident was covered with full scope of
Medi-Cal and the insurance coverage would change in 1/2026. The ADM stated, denying re-admission
would have affected the residents' behavior, mood and general well-being. During a review of the facility's
P&P titled Readmission, revised [DATE], the P&P indicated When the bed hold is not exercised or expires,
residents will be permitted to return to their previous room, if available, or to the next available bed in a
semi-private room.
