Based on interview and record review the facility failed to identify potential triggers for Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD) and failed to initiate resident centered interventions to address PTSD for one
resident (R1) admitted to the facility with a diagnosis of PTSD of three residents reviewed for admission
transfer discharge rights in a sample list of nine residents. Consequently, R1 experienced an exacerbation
of behavioral symptoms leading to emergent hospitalization.Findings include:R1's progress note
documents R1 was admitted to the facility from home on 7/17/25 at 3:09PM. R1's physician's note dated
7/1/25 documents R1 is a candidate for assisted living. R1's most recent diagnoses list includes the
following diagnoses: Parkinson's Disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Lupus Erythematosus,
Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Major Depression, Osteoarthritis, and
Sedative/Hypnotic/Anxiolytic Dependence.R1's Brief Trauma Questionnaire dated 7/28/25 fails to address
R1's Diagnosis of PTSD and fails to identify possible triggers for behavior. R1's Care Plan updated 8/19/25
does not include interventions or possible triggers in relation to R1's PTSD.Surveyor attempted to reach R1
by phone on 8/25/25 at 8:13AM, 8/26/25 at 1:52PM and 8/27/25 at 10:00AM. The message mailbox was
full. Unable to leave message.On 8/25/25 at 12:00PM V5, Social Service Director stated R1 was high
functioning. V5 stated he had spoken with R1 in regard to whether or not R1 might be interested in
assistance to find a less restrictive placement option. V1, Administrator and V5 both stated R1 was never
going to be involuntarily discharged it was just an offer of assistance should that be R1's wishes. V5 stated
after that conversation R1 became very suspicious of staff and seemed to believe she was being
discharged which was not the case.On 8/11/25 at 11:49AM, V16 Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
contracted by the facility documented in R1's progress notes Client presents in severe emotional distress
on this date. Client appears to be in a manic episode and experiencing symptoms of posttraumatic stress
disorder. Client is verbally stating she is getting kicked out of the nursing home and put on the streets to be
homeless, which is not true confirmed by multiple administrators and staff at this facility. Client is seen
packing her bags and using her roommate's phone to make phone calls to leave. Client does not have
anywhere to go. Client is making multiple accusations towards staff that they are kicking her out based on
her age, race, and disabilities although staff is not making client leave. Through assessment, clinician
identifies client is experiencing a manic, post-traumatic stress disorder trigger due to her challenges in
interpersonal relationships and childhood/family trauma. Client does not feel welcome here and due to this
personal belief, she is unable to be redirected or regulated emotionally at this time. Clinician utilized
multiple interventions, including mindfulness of deep breathing, sorting through thoughts, and emotions,
identifying emotions, encouragement of active listening, and removing client from the stressful environment
without any success. Social services director and administration are involved in client's care. Client will be
sent out for a psychiatric evaluation if she is agreeable or leaving AMA (Against Medical Advice).V1
