Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to identify and develop a discharge plan for
resident (R1) with a discharge goal to return to the community.
Residents Affected - Few
This applies to 1 out of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for discharge services.
R1's Medical Record showed R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, congestive heart failure, generalized muscle weakness,
and syncope.
On 2/07/2025 at 11:40 AM, R1 was sitting in her wheelchair receiving 2 L (liters) of continuous oxygen via a
nasal cannula. R1 stated she was frustrated because there had been delays with her discharge the prior
week and now her discharge date was changed to 2/11/2025.
On 2/07/2025 at 3:30 PM, V10 (R1's daughter) was interviewed via telephone. V10 stated she contacted
the facility on 1/27/2025 to initiate a discussion regarding R1's discharge planning to return to her
supportive living facility in the community. V10 stated during the meeting it was identified R1 required DME
(Durable Medical Equipment) for her new oxygen and nebulizer therapies. V10 stated R1's original
discharge date was scheduled for 2/04/2025 but then was cancelled when it was identified R1 needed
additional training on how to use her wheelchair with her oxygen safely.
On 2/13/2025 at 9:00 AM, V11 (R1's Supportive Living Facility Director of Nursing/DON) stated she had
made multiple attempts prior to contact the facility to ensure R1 was ready for a safe return but was
unsuccessful. V11 stated V10 then contacted her to inform her of R1's scheduled return date of 2/04/2025.
V11 stated she was concerned because on 1/30/2025 she identified the facility had not made proper
arrangements for home health services and DME ordering. V11 stated the facility thought R1's family would
be obtaining R1's respiratory DME on their own, which was incorrect. V11 continued to say she then
became more concerned when informed R1 now required the use of a wheelchair. V11 stated the facility
was unable to show her documentation that R1 was trained on the use of her new wheelchair and oxygen
equipment. V11 stated she informed V10 and V4 (Social Services) that R1 was not ready to safely return to
her supportive living facility. V11 stated R1's delayed discharge could have been avoided if her goals had
been identified and addressed appropriately by the facility at the time of admission and during her
discharge planning.
On 2 /11/2025 at 11:10 AM, V4 (Social Service) stated she was contacted by R1's family to discuss R1's
discharge planning on 1/27/2025. V4 stated R1's original discharge date was scheduled for 2/04/2025. V4
stated R1's discharge date was then changed to 2/11/2025 after V11 assessed R1 at the facility. V4 stated
discharge planning should be initiated by the facility's staff within 24-48 hours of a
