The SBAR indicated Resident 1 was unable to be redirected and reoriented by the facility staff and the facility's psychiatrist gave an order for Resident 1 to be transferred on 5150 (California's Welfare and Institutions Code that allows a peace officer or a designated professional to involuntarily confine someone for a 72-hour psychiatric hold if they are a danger to themselves or others) Hold to a General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) for further evaluation and treatment. Resident 1 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE].During a review of Resident 1's Interdisciplinary (IDT) Care Conference Note dated 12/8/2025, the IDT Note indicated Resident 1's plan of care was discussed with the Responsible Party (RP), which included discharge options to a more appropriate SNF who will be able to manage Resident 1's behavioral needs.During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report (Physician's Orders) dated 12/11/2025 and timed at 2:42 p.m., the Order Summary Report indicated an order was received to transfer Resident 1 to a SNF with all remaining medications on 12/11/2025 and a representative from the receiving facility would pick up Resident 1's medications, belongings and discharge paperwork.During a review of Nursing Progress Notes dated 12/11/2025 and timed at 2:45 p.m., the Nursing Progress Notes indicated Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS) 1 could not reach a licensed staff

Instructions to follow-up with primary care physician.b. Hemodialysis (treatment to cleanse the blood of wastes and extra fluids artificially through a machine when the kidney(s) have failed) facility, treatment schedule and transportation services.c. Resident 1's vital signs (the simple measurements of the body's basic functions such as temperature, pulse, breathing and blood pressure), assessment of overall well-being, one-on-one supervision, safety needs, blood sugar checks, and assistance with activities of daily living ([ADLs] routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves).d. Latest hemoglobin (the protein in the red blood cells that is responsible in delivering oxygen to the tissues of the body) result of 7 (normal range of 12.3 to 15.3) grams ([gm] unit of measurement)per deciliter ([dL] unit of measurement) which was being treated with Mircera (a prescription medication used to treat anemia [low red blood cell count]) 175 micrograms ([mcg] a unit of measurement) twice a month provided by the hemodialysis center.During a telephone interview on 12/30/2025 at 9:21 a.m., RP 1 stated the facility discharged Resident 1 to a SNF on 12/11/2025 and when she (RP 1) went to the receiving SNF to check on Resident 1, the receiving facility could not provide her with discharge instructions from the sending facility. RP1 stated she was concerned about the incomplete information of Resident 1's care from the previous facility.During a telephone interview on 1/2/2025 at 12:37 p.m., RNS 1 stated Resident 1's primary physician gave an order for Resident 1 to be transferred to another facility after her hemodialysis appointment on 12/11/2025. RNS 1 stated the representative of the receiving facility came to pick up Resident 1's belongings and he (RNS 1) gave the representative a copy of Resident 1's Face Sheet with the Transfer Discharge Report and/or Transfer Medication List, Resident 1's belongings and medications. RNS1 stated he did not print a copy of Resident 1's Discharge Summary Instructions and did not provide a copy of it to the representative of the receiving facility because he thought the facility's Discharge Planner (DP) had sent a copy to the receiving facility beforehand. RNS 1 stated he was told by the DP to send Resident 1's Transfer Medication List, medications and belongings with the representative of the receiving facility. RNS 1 stated he should have included Resident 1's Discharge Summary with the rest of her paperwork that was sent to the facility to ensure Resident 1's care and other follow-up information necessary for her care is complete.During an interview on 1/5/2025 at 3:02 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated RNS 1 should have provided the receiving facility of Resident 1's complete discharge summary and instructions. The DON stated the licensed nurses discharging a resident to another facility are expected to provide complete discharge paperwork with the transfer report and/or medication list and discharge summary instructions to the receiving facility to prevent gaps of information that can delay continuity of their care.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Transfer or Discharge Documentation, revised 12/2016, the P&P indicated the facility shall transfer a resident or discharge a resident to another healthcare facility or provider with details of the transfer and discharge and appropriate and/or necessary information such as a copy of the residents' discharge summary and any other documentation, as applicable will be communicated to the receiving health care facility or provider.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Discharging the Resident, revised 12/2016, the P&P indicated the facility shall complete a transfer summary and a telephone report is called to the receiving facility.
