F 0627 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure the transfer/discharge meets the resident's needs/preferences and that the resident is prepared for a safe transfer/discharge. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to arrange for a safe and orderly discharge for one of two sampled residents (Resident 7) when the facility failed to communicate Resident 7's medical conditions and needs to Intermediate Care Facility (ICF, provides long-term care for individuals who need more assistance than residential care but less than a skilled nursing facility) 1 prior to Resident 7's transfer to ICF 1. This failure had the potential for Resident 7 to experience an unsafe discharge due to receiving inappropriate and or inadequate care.Findings: During a review of Resident 7's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 7 on 8/8/2025 with diagnoses including acute kidney failure (a condition in which the kidneys suddenly can't filter waste from the blood), malignant melanoma of skin (skin cancer), and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing foods or liquids).

The ADM stated when Resident 7 arrived to ICF 1 on 10/6/2025, ICF 1 staff assessed Resident 7 and realized ICF 1 could not accept Resident 7 to ICF 1 because Resident 7 had bed sores and a tumor on the neck that looked infected. The ADM stated Resident 7 was sent to a General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) 1 for the infected tumor on the neck. The ADM stated it was not appropriate for Resident 7 to be at ICF 1 because ICF 1 was an ICF/DD-H (Intermediate Care Facility for the Developmentally Disabled-Habilitative). The ADM stated Resident 7 needed to be at an ICF/DD-N (Intermediate Care Facility for the Developmentally Disabled-Nursing) facility due to Resident 7's medical needs. The ADM stated the ADM had not received any transfer paperwork from the facility prior to Resident 1 being discharged to ICF 1 and that the ADM did not realize ICF 1 was not an appropriate facility for Resident 7. The ADM stated the facility did not communicate Resident 7's needs to ICF 1 prior to discharging Resident 1 to ICF 1 on 10/6/2025. During an interview on 10/23/2025 at 9:15 AM with the Case Manager (CM), the CM stated the CM was responsible for arranging the discharge of Resident 7.
