R19's note documents that R19 was readmitted to the hospital for pneumonia and exacerbation of CHF (Congestive Heart Failure). R19's Transfer/Discharge form dated 11/26/24 documented that V11 (R19's Health Care Power of Attorney) could not be called because the facility did not have a phone number for her. On 12/12/24 at 9:30 AM V2 (Director of Nursing) confirmed that V11 (R19's Health Care Power of Attorney) was not notified of R19's transfer to the hospital due to the facility not having her phone number. V2 reviewed and confirmed that V11's phone number was in R19's Medical Record on her Health Care Power of Attorney form dated 11/12/24. We didn't think we had (V11)'s phone number. I don't know why the number was not listed on the face sheet like it normally should have been.
