summary, face sheet, doctor orders and medications. I never give the paper to the residents at the time of
transfer it's always given to EMS. During an interview on 12/10/2025 at 4:27 PM the Director of Nursing
stated, We have always completed a transfer summary, change of condition, and provided EMS with the
transfer summary, face sheet, physician orders and tell the resident why they are going out and who sent
them to the hospital. We cannot tell them the exact hospital because we do not know where they are going
because EMS determines based on availability. We do not hand the papers for transfer to the resident
because it would get lost. EMS gives the papers to the hospital. We do not give anything to the residents.
Review of the policy and procedure titled Discharge and Transfer with an effective date of 11/30/2014 read,
The Company will ensure that transfer or discharge is safe, orderly and is appropriate to meet the needs of
