(2) Bed-hold notice upon transfer. At the time of transfer of a resident for hospitalization or therapeutic leave, a nursing facility must provide to the resident and the resident representative written notice which specifies the duration of the bed-hold policy described in paragraph (e)(1) of this section. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on staff interview and clinical record review, the facility failed to ensure a bed hold notice was issued timely for Resident 1. This failure increased the potential for the Resident's representative to be uninformed regarding bed hold rights. Findings: Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on 11/17/16, with diagnoses including early onset of Alzheimer's Disease. On 3/23/17 Resident 1 displayed a behavioral episode which included throwing silverware during lunch time in the facility's dining room. On 3/23/17 at 12:45 p.m., Resident 1 was transferred to the General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) with the assistance of the police department and ambulance staff. Review of the clinical record revealed a written bed-hold notification was not issued to Resident 1's representative until 3/28/17, 5 days after Resident 1 was transferred to the GACH. There was no documentation which indicated a bed-hold notice accompanied the FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: GYVJ11 Facility ID: CA030000084 If continuation sheet 2 of 3 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.
