interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) was
assessed for readmission to the first available bed in a semi-private room after Resident 1 was transferred
to General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) 1 on 7/22/2025, in accordance with the facility's policy and
procedure (P&P) titled, readmission to Facility, when the facility failed to request Resident 1's updated
information and referral from GACH 1 on 7/31/2025 after GACH 1 contacted the facility regarding Resident
1's readmission to the facility. This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1 remaining in GACH 1 from
7/31/2025 through 8/6/2025 following an inquiry from GACH 1 for Resident 1 to be transferred back to the
facility.During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility
admitted Resident 1 on 7/22/2025 without diagnosis information. During a review of Resident 1's Order
Summary Report (OSR), dated 8/1/2025, the OSR indicated there was a physician's order to admit
Resident 1 to the facility on 7/22/2025. The OSR indicated there was a physician's order for Resident 1 to
receive medications for high cholesterol, for seizure (a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the
brain which can cause uncontrolled jerking, blank stares, and loss of consciousness), and for schizophrenia
(a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought). The OSR also indicated there was a
physician's order to transfer Resident 1 to GACH 1 for increased confusion on 7/22/2025. During a review
of Resident 1's Care Plan (CP), dated 7/22/2025, the CP indicated Resident 1 had impaired cognitive
function (ability to remember things, solve problems, or make decisions) or impaired thought processes
related to dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities). During a review of Resident 1's
Notice of Transfer/Discharge (NTD), dated 7/22/2025, the NTD indicated the reason for Resident 1's
transfer was necessary for the resident's welfare and the resident's needs cannot be met in the facility.
During a review of Resident 1's Psych ED Initial Eval (PEDIE) from GACH 1, dated 7/24/2025, the PEDIE
indicated Resident 1 had neurocognitive disorder (decreased mental function due to a medical disease),
likely exacerbated (made worse) by hepatic encephalopathy (brain dysfunction caused by liver's inability to
remove toxins from the blood). The PEDIE also indicated there was no evidence Resident 1 had primary
psychiatric illness. During a review of Resident 1's Internal Med Inpatient Progress Note - Final Report
(INIPN-FR) from GACH 1, dated 7/31/2025, the INIPN-FR indicated Resident 1 had no behavioral issue
and the discharge planning is medically stable for placement to lower level of care on 7/31/2025. During a
review of Resident 1's Grievance Form (GF), dated 7/31/2025, the GF indicated the MD/A filled out the GF.
The GF indicated MD/A refused to accept Resident 1 back from GACH 1 when GACH 1 SS 1 contacted
MD/A by telephone on 7/31/2025 regarding transferring Resident 1 back to the facility. During an interview
on 8/4/2025 at 1:48 p.m. with the Marketing Director/admission (MD/A), the MD/A stated MD/A refused to
readmit Resident 1 when GACH 1 Social Services (SS) 1 contacted the facility regarding transferring
Resident 1 back to the facility on 7/31/2025 because of the

behavior exhibited by Resident 1 during Resident 1's previous stay. The MD/A stated the facility did not
receive, request, and review Resident 1's updated information and referral from GACH 1, following the
inquiry from GACH 1, when GACH 1 SS 1 contacted the facility on 7/31/2025. The MD/A stated usually the
DON and the Infection Preventionist (IP) review the referral from GACH (in general) to determine if the
facility can provide appropriate care to the resident and provide approval for admissions to the facility. The
MD/A stated MD/A did not inform the DON about GACH 1's inquiry about transferring Resident 1 back to
the facility. During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/1/2025 at 3:52 p.m. with Registered Nurse
(RN) 1, Resident 1's Progress Notes (PN), dated 7/22/2025, were reviewed. RN 1 stated that on 7/22/2025,
around 2 p.m., Resident 1 was newly admitted to the facility from GACH 2. RN 1 stated that Resident 1 was
transferred to GACH 1 on 7/22/2025 around 9 p.m. for further evaluation of Resident 1's behaviors and
increased confusion. Resident 1's PN, dated 7/22/2025 and timed at 9:17 pm, indicated Resident 1 went in
other resident's rooms, removed items from other resident's closet, wandered aimlessly up and down the
hallway, and touched medication carts and other items. The PN also indicated staff were able to redirect
Resident 1 and assisted Resident 1 back into Resident 1's room or wheelchair but Resident 1 continued to
repeat the same behaviors. The PN indicated Resident 1 was transferred to GACH 1 for further evaluation
due to Resident 1's behaviors and increased confusion. During an interview with the DON on 8/4/2025 at
4:15 p.m., the DON stated the DON did not know GACH 1 called the facility on 7/31/2025 regarding
transferring Resident 1 back to the facility. The DON stated the facility should have requested updated
information from GACH 1 regarding Resident 1's condition on 7/31/2025 so that the DON and the IP could
review Resident 1's records to determine if the facility could provide care to meet Resident 1's needs. The
DON stated Resident 1 would be accepted for readmission to the facility with dementia and on
psychoactive medications (affects how the brain works and causes changes in mood, awareness, thoughts,
feelings, or behavior) if Resident 1 did not have any behavioral issues (persistent and disruptive behaviors
that negatively impact an individual's ability to function effectively in daily life and social interactions). The
DON stated the facility could readmit Resident 1 if the facility could meet Resident 1's needs. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 8/1/2025 at 4:23 p.m. with the DON, Resident 1's Order
Summary Report (OSR), dated 7/22/2025, were reviewed. The DON stated there was an order to admit
Resident 1 on 7/22/2025 and an order to transfer Resident 1 to GACH 1 for increased confusion on
7/22/2025. The DON confirmed Resident 1 was admitted to the facility and transferred to GACH 1 on
7/22/2025. The DON stated that the DON had not received an inquiry from GACH 1 for transferring
Resident back to the facility after 7/22/2025. During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/1/2025
at 4:25 p.m. with the admission Coordinator (AC), the Daily Census, dated 7/31/2025, was reviewed. The
AC stated that bed was available for admitting Resident 1 on 7/31/2025. During a review of the facility's
Census List dated 7/30/2025, 7/31/2025, 8/2/2025, and 8/3/2025, the Census List indicated that:On
7/30/2025, room [ROOM NUMBER]A bed, room [ROOM NUMBER]B bed and room [ROOM NUMBER]B
bed were empty and available.On 7/31/2025, room [ROOM NUMBER]B bed and room [ROOM NUMBER]A
bed were empty and available.On 8/2/2025, room [ROOM NUMBER]D bed and room [ROOM NUMBER]A
bed were empty and available.On 8/3/2025, room [ROOM NUMBER]D bed was empty and available.During
a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, readmission to Facility, dated 12/19/2022, the
P&P indicated, Residents who seek to return to the facility after the expiration of the bed-hold period or
when state law does not provide for bed-holds, are allowed to return to their previous room if available or
immediately to the first available bed in a semi-private room provided that the resident still requires the
services provided by the facility and is eligible for Medicare skilled nursing facility or
