written notification prior to the impending
closure to the State Survey Agency, the Office
of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman,
residents of the facility, and the resident
representatives, as well as the plan for the
transfer and adequate relocation of the

by:
noBased on interview and record review, the
facility failed to notify one of two sampled
residents (Resident 1) and the resident's legal
representative of the resident's discharge and
the reason for the discharge from the facility.
* Resident 1's physician ordered to discharge
Resident 1 from the facility following an
emergent transfer of Resident 1 to the acute
care hospital directly from his school. This
failure of the facility to send a notice of
discharge to the resident and resident
representative prevented the resident or
resident's representative the opportunity to
participate in the decision making process for
the resident's care.
Findings:
Medical record review for Resident 1 was
initiated on 5/21/19. Resident 1 was admitted
to the facility on 3/28/08.

acute care hospital notified the facility Resident
1 was ready to return to the facility. The
CEO/CNO spoke with Resident 1's attending
physician, the facility's Medical Director, and

and Resident 2). This failure had the potential
for the resident and the resident's
representative to be unaware of the resident's
right to return to the facility following the stay in

Findings:
1. Medical record review for Resident 1 was
initiated on 5/21/19. Resident 1 was admitted
to the facility on 3/28/08, and transferred to the
acute care hospital from the resident's school
via paramedics on 4/18/19. Resident 1 was

readmitted to the facility from the acute care
hospital on 5/20/19.
Review of Resident 1's Nurses Notes dated
4/18/19 at 1155 hours, showed RN 1 received
a telephone call from the resident's school.
The school called the paramedics and Resident
1 was transported to the acute care hospital

representative was not issued a bed hold when
the resident was admitted to the acute care
hospital on 4/18/19. The CEO/CNO stated the
on call physician and the medical director for
the facility refused to give an order for the bed
hold. The CEO/CNO stated though there was
no physician order or written notice of a bed
hold, Resident 1's room was left unoccupied
with all of the resident's belongings kept in
place the entire time the resident was in the
acute care hospital. (Cross reference to F626)
2. Medical record review for Resident 2 was
initiated 5/21/19. Resident 2 was admitted to
the facility on 2/4/19, and readmitted on
4/12/19.
Review of Resident 2's physician's orders

Resident 2 to the acute care hospital for a
surgical procedure. There was no physician's

the following.
(i) A resident, whose hospitalization or
therapeutic leave exceeds the bed-hold period

nursing facility services.
(ii) If the facility that determines that a resident
who was transferred with an expectation of

discharges.
§483.15(e)(2) Readmission to a composite
distinct part. When the facility to which a
resident returns is a composite distinct part (as

the facility.
On 5/21/19 at 1600 hours, an interview was
