(ii) If the facility that determines that a resident who was transferred with an expectation of returning to the facility, cannot return to the facility, the facility must comply with the requirements of paragraph (c) as they apply to 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 defined in § 483.5), the resident must be permitted to return to an available bed in the particular location of the composite distinct part in which he or she resided previously. If a bed is not available in that location at the time of return, the resident must be given the option to return to that location upon the first availability of a bed there. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review , the facility failed to ensure one of three residents (Resident 1) was readmitted to the facility after a hospitalization. Findings: Resident 1's clinical record was reviewed. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease (an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory, thinking skills, and eventually the ability to carry out the simple tasks).

Resident 1 was transferred to a psychiatric emergency service facility for evaluation via 911. During an interview with the administrator (AD), on 4/24/18, at 9:00 a.m., she indicated on 4/18/18, the facility received a referral from the acute care hospital for Resident 1's readmission. The referral form indicated Resident 1 would need a long term skilled nursing facility (SNF) with a dementia (memory loss) unit and in a locked SNF (safety measures for dementia). The AD stated the facility did not have a locked unit for dementia residents. She also stated she was advised by the legal department not to take Resident 1 back to the facility. The AD confirmed, on 4/20/18, she received psychiatry notes indicating Resident 1 did not require a locked facility but instead Resident 1 would require a Wanderguard (a monitoring system used by a facility to know residents' whereabouts.). She acknowledged the facility could provide a Wanderguard for Resident 1, but they still refused to accept Resident 1 due to safety concerns of going through other residents' rooms and out to the street. Review of Psychiatry Inpatient Consultation service notes dated 4/20/18, at 1:43 p.m., indicated Resident 1's disposition back to skilled nursing did not require a locked facility and it would be sufficient that Resident 1 use a Wanderguard to ensure Resident 1 would not exit the facility unsupervised.
