therapeutic leave. The policy must provide for
the following.
(i) A resident, whose hospitalization or
therapeutic leave exceeds the bed-hold period
under the State plan, returns to the facility to
their previous room if available or immediately
upon the first availability of a bed in a semiprivate room if the resident(A) Requires the services provided by the
facility; and
(B) Is eligible for Medicare skilled nursing
facility services or Medicaid
nursing facility services.
(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, facility
failed to ensure one (Resident 1) of three
sampled residents was allowed to return to the
facility after admission to Acute Care Hospital
(ACH). This failure resulted in Resident 1 to be
in psychosocial distress.
