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.

In a phone interview with Case Manager (CM 1) from an ACH, on 8/28/18, at 2:55 p.m., CM 1 stated that the facility was refusing to take Resident 1 back due to her behavior problems.

In an interview with facility's Administrator (ADM), on 8/29/18, at 3:15 p.m., ADM stated it was not a good idea to readmit Resident 1 back to the facility because of her behaviors towards others.

It further indicated Resident 1 was not suffering from a psychiatric disorder.
