must ensure that the post-acute care
standardized patient assessment data, data on

the clinical record, the evaluation of the
resident's discharge needs and discharge plan.
The results of the evaluation must be
discussed with the resident or resident's
representative. All relevant resident information
must be incorporated into the discharge plan to
facilitate its implementation and to avoid
unnecessary delays in the resident's discharge
or transfer.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review the
facility failed to meet the discharge needs of
one of three sampled residents (Resident 1)
when Resident 1, who required 24-hour
supervision, was discharged without the 24hour supervision provided in the home. This
failure resulted in Resident 1 being found home
alone, with a limited and confused response.
Findings:
During an interview with an anonymous
complainant on 2/12/19 at 11:45 a.m., he/she
stated Resident 1 was found alone in her home
on 2/7/19, lying on her sofa, confused and lying
in wet incontinence (not able to control the flow
of urine) briefs. Complainant stated Resident 1
had difficulty getting up off of the sofa, was
unable to change her brief without assistance,
and was intermittently disoriented. Complainant
stated the caregiver is with the Resident 1 part
of the day, but not overnight.

During a review of the clinical record for
Resident 1, the "Admission Record" indicated
she was admitted to the facility on 1/8/19 with
diagnoses of encounter for aftercare (after
hospitalization for a fall), difficulty walking and
history of falls. Review of Resident 1's
"Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment
tool)" dated 1/15/19 indicated her vision was
severely impaired: no vision or sees only light,
colors or shapes; eyes do not appear to follow
objects. Review of the "Initial History and
Physical" written by her physician, dated

but had a fluctuating capacity to understand
and to make decisions.
Review of the "Physical Therapist (PT)
Progress and Discharge Summary (PTPDS),"
dated 2/1/19, indicated a recommendation for
Resident 1 to return home with a 24-hour
caregiver. PTPDS indicated Resident 1
required supervision to safely transition from
lying down to a sitting position and required
stand-by assistance (close enough to reach
patient) to safely transition from a sitting to a
standing position.
Review of the "Occupational Therapist (OT)
Progress and Discharge Summary (OTPDS),"
dated 2/1/19, indicated Resident 1 had not met
her long term goal for self-care in the home in
order to return home alone safely. OTPDS
indicated Resident 1 required supervision for
toileting.
Review of the "IDT Post-Discharge Plan of
Care/Recapitulation of Care," dated 2/2/19
indicated Resident 1 was discharged to home
on 2/2/19 with a referral for home health care,
and would be living alone with the help of a
part-time care-giver (CG) and family who would
visit periodically to ensure safety. The same

assistance with bathing, dressing, oral care,
toileting and eating.
During an interview with the director of social
services (SSD) on 2/12/19 at 9:25 a.m., she
stated Resident 1's responsible party was not
completely at ease with Resident 1's discharge
to home.
During an interview with the director of
rehabilitation (DR) on 2/12/19 at 11:15 a.m.,
she stated the staff in her department (PT and
OT) thought Resident 1 was safe to go home
with a 24-hour-per-day caregiver. DR stated
the department of rehabilitation would not have
discharged Resident 1 if they had known she
did not have a 24-hour-per-day caregiver. DR
stated it was discussed during the
interdisciplinary team (IDT) meeting Resident 1
had 24-hour care at home.
During an interview with registered nurse unit
manager (RNUM) on 2/12/19 at 1 p.m., she
stated she represents nursing on the IDT team.
RNUM stated it was discussed in Resident 1's
discharge IDT meeting, Resident 1 would be
discharged to home with a 24-hour caregiver.
RNUM stated, the IDT team was very clear
about the plan for 24-hour care or it would not
be a safe discharge.
During an interview with the SSD on 2/12/19 at
12 noon, she stated Resident 1's responsible
party told her they were looking into 24-hour
care but there was no definite statement
Resident 1 would have 24-hour care when
discharged to home. SSD stated based on
information given to her by Resident 1's
responsible party, she thought Resident 1
needed 24-hour care. SSD stated she agreed
Resident 1's discharge was not safe without
having 24-hour supervision.
