a safe transfer/discharge.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a safe discharge planning process for one of four
sampled residents, Resident 1. This failure had the potential for unsafe discharge by not identifying the
resident's discharge needs and not thoroughly planned and prepared, and communicated to the receiving
facility. This failure caused Resident 1 to feel anxious and sad and had the potential to affect the resident's
highest practicable physical, mental and psychosocial well-being.Findings:During a review of Resident 1's
admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy (a condition where the brain does not function properly due
to underlying metabolic disturbances,) mood disorders (mental health conditions that affect a person's
emotions, thoughts, and behaviors) and cellulitis of left lower limb (a bacterial infection of the skin and the
tissue beneath.) During a review of Resident 1's care plan titled, Readiness for enhanced self-health
management related to improvement in condition and upcoming discharge, dated 8/13/2025, the plan
indicated to coordinate discharge plan with IDT team, educate resident and/ or caregiver on new or
continuing medications, disease process, wound care and signs and symptoms requiring medication
attention, arrange for durable medical equipment, complete and provide discharge packet, confirm
transportation and receiving environment. During a review of Residents 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a
resident assessment tool) dated 8/17/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had mild cognitive impairment.
The MDS indicated Resident 1 required supervision or touching assistance with activities of daily living
(ADLs) such as dressing, toilet use, personal hygiene, transfer and mobility. During a review of Resident 1's
Multidisciplinary Care Conference (also known as Interdisciplinary Team [IDT], group of healthcare
professionals, including resident/ resident representative, working together to provide residents with needed
care) document dated 8/19/2025, the nursing summary indicated the IDT was held to review the plan of
care, to address any concerns and recommendation for plan of care. The nursing summary indicated
Resident 1 wanted to leave the facility to go see her family. The nursing summary indicated the IDT
informed Resident 1 that a doctor's order for discharge was needed. The nursing summary indicated
Resident 1 stated if she doesn't get it (unspecified), she would leave Against Medical Advice (AMA- leaving
the hospital without the doctor's approval or order). During a review of Resident 1's health status notes from
8/18/2025 to 8/20/2025, the notes did not indicate documented evidence that the physician was contacted
of the resident's request to go see her family nor discharge order was obtained. During an interview on
8/20/2025 at 10:20 a.m. with Resident 1, Resident 1 stated I will leave the facility 8/21/2025 with or without
a doctors order. Resident 1 stated she was admitted for a wound in the left lower leg but now it is better.
Resident 1 stated I can take care of the wound myself. Resident 1 stated on 8/18/2025, the Social Services

will leave on Thursday, 8/21/2025. During an interview on 8/21/2025 at 3:43 p.m. with LVN 4, LVN 4 stated
when Resident 1 expressed her wish to be discharged by Thursday 8/21/2025, the Director of Nursing
(DON) was informed, but Resident 1's doctor was not called to obtain a discharge order. LVN 4 stated the
facility failed to follow Resident 1's right to be discharged . LVN 4 stated, it caused Resident 1 to feel
stressed and anxious because she felt the facility did not do anything for her request to be discharged . LVN

interview on 8/21/2025 at 2:17 p.m. with SS, the SS stated on 8/18/2025 the owner of an independent living
facility came to the facility and spoke to Resident 1 about independent living. The SS stated the

wound condition before discharge. During an interview on 8/21/2025 at 4:00 p.m. with DON, the DON
stated when the SS knew that Resident 1 had a bed available at the independent living facility, the nurse
should have called the doctor and obtained the discharge order and informed the resident that they are
working on her discharge. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedures (P&P) titled, Transfer &
Discharge, dated 12/2016, the P&P indicated when a resident is discharged , the facility should review the
plan with the resident, and/or his or her family or responsible party, at least 24 hours before the resident's
discharge from the facility. The P&P indicated to provide preparation and orientation to the resident to
ensure safe and orderly transfer/discharge from the facility. The P&P indicated, if appropriate, to refer to the
resident's discharge plan in their Comprehensive Plan of Care. The P&P indicated, preparation and
orientation should include the following: informing the resident where he or she is going. taking steps to
assure safe transportation. involving the resident and family in selecting the new residence. trial visits, if
possible, by the resident to the new location. orienting the staff in the receiving facility to resident's daily
