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 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.
