This failure affected 1 resident (R2) rights to be informed of the right to and exercise the right to bed hold under the regulation. Findings include: R2 was [AGE] years old, initially admitted on [DATE] for cerebral infarction, and aphasia following cerebral infraction. Per R2's progress notes dated 3/2/2024 by V25 (Registered Nurse/Agency) documents that R2 was transferred and was admitted in the hospital for Cerebrovascular Accident and aggressive behavior. On 3/12/2024 at 11:10 AM, V22 (Spouse of R2) stated that initially facility did not accept his husband (R2) because of his behavior due to brain damage. V22 said that facility did not inform her, instead hospital needed to inform her that the facility does not want to accept her husband (R2). V22 said, You see my husband is left with help from other people and I just want them to treat my husband with kindness. On 3/12/2024 at 2:54 PM, V2 (Assistant Administrator) provided a Bed Hold Policy notification dated 3/1/2024 that documents to comply with 10 days duration of bed hold per Federal regulation. Under Resident/Family Initial of the same notice, the initial of R2 was written. Per Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], R2 was not cognitively intact because he never or rarely understands and as a result, Brief Interview for Mental Status was not done. On 3/13/2024 at 11:54 AM, V2 stated that he was informed by V18 (Director of Nursing) that Bed Hold notification form is being explained by whoever is the nurse on the floor. And it should be to the resident if the resident cognition is intact. Otherwise, to family or representative if resident is not cognitively intact. R2 cannot be notified of the bed hold because his cognition is not intact. The person who wrote the initial of R2 has no authority to put the initial of R2. Facility policy on Bed Hold and readmission dated 7/27/2023, reads: It is the facility's policy to adhere to the federal regulation on bed hold and on readmission of resident transferred out of the facility. The facility must inform the resident or family members being transferred of the duration of bed hold in writing.

The importance of care plan is knowing the plan of care of the resident what is going on with the resident. Care plan is person-centered and to know what is going on with the resident.

(Nutritional supplement) is very important because R1 eats food very slow that sometimes it takes a long time. V12 said, R1's mealtime last forever to eat. (Nutritional supplement) is very important because of the way R1 eats food. It takes forever and can last for 2 hours. We change the supplement to (nutritional supplement) because it has more calories than other supplements. V12 said after seeing R1's (nutritional supplement) documentation that almost every day R1 was not receiving (nutritional supplement) from 12/26/2023 to 2/23/2024, V12 said, Oh, that's a lot of days. V12 was asked due to R1's not receiving supplement does it contribute to R1's significant weight loss? V12 said there are other ways to give supplement.

On 3/14/2024 at 9:46 AM, V18 (Director of Nursing) stated I don't know if he was assisted to eat during meals, I don't remember if we did a calorie count. I can't remember if he was receiving any supplement. Every time I see him, he is on the wheelchair. I cannot remember if he refuses medications or supplements. V18 stated that DR initial on the MAR (Medication Administration Record) means Drug Refuse. V18 said, That means it was offered and resident refused. 145670 Page 4 of 4
