Residents Affected - Few
Not transfer or discharge a resident without an adequate reason; and must provide documentation and
convey specific information when a resident is transferred or discharged.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to provide written documentation which stated the reason the
facility could not meet the resident's needs for 1 (R1) of 3 residents reviewed for discharge procedure in the
sample of 3.
Findings include:
1. R1's face sheet documented R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including:
pneumonitis due to inhalation of food and vomit, dysphagia, unspecified intellectual disorders, autistic
disorder, insomnia. R1's care plan documented R1 had several physical behaviors such as hitting, pinching,
and biting staff. R1's 6/22/23 Minimum Data Set (MDS) documented R1 was severely cognitively impaired.
On 8/24/23 at 10:11 AM, V1 (Administrator) said R1 was admitted after a hospital stay due to aspiration
pneumonia. V1 said R1 was going to work with speech therapy and be discharged back to the group home
R1 was residing prior to hospital stay.
On 8/24/23 at 12:29 PM, V2 (R1's Legal Guardian) said R1 was living in a group home and was transferred
to the hospital due to aspiration problems. V2 said the hospital had recommended placing a feeding tube in
R1 but V2 felt that was unnecessary and wanted a second opinion. V2 said R1 was transferred to another
hospital for a second opinion and declined a feeding tube be placed again. V2 said R1 is not verbal and
would not have been able to maintain a feeding tube. V2 said he chose R1 to be placed on palliative care if
R1's only other option was having a feeding tube placed. V2 said R1 was transferred to the facility with the
intention of end of life care.
On 8/24/23 at 2:37 PM, V3 (Social Services Assistant) said R1 was admitted to the facility with the
expectation R1 would be receiving services of hospice. V3 said when R1 arrived to the facility it was clear
R1 was not going to be a candidate for hospice services. V3 said when R1 arrived to the facility he was
very mobile and did have some aggressive behaviors with staff such as bending staff's finger back, twisting
staff's wrists, attempting to bite staff, and pounding on doors trying to get out of the building. V3 said he did
not recall R1 having any aggressive behaviors towards other residents. V3 said R1 was transferred to an
acute psychiatric facility for evaluation of his behaviors. V3 was asked why the facility could not meet R1's
needs V3 said it was mainly nursing not being able to be one on one with R1. V3 said R1 required constant
supervision due to exit seeking and wandering. V3 stated we (the facility) can't have a single staff follow a
resident around the building all day.

for behaviors. V1 said the hospital had notified the facility they were R1's base line behaviors and R1 would
be discharged back to the facility. V1 said the facility had completed an emergency involuntary discharge

today when being redirected. Doctor has said this is his baseline behavior and they don't feel they can do
anymore with him. They do feel like he has more behaviors with male staff and advise if we can avoid this it
may be helpful, he prefers female staff. I did ask if they can keep him a bit longer to try and help with the
behaviors as we feel it will put our other guests at risk. She said she understands and does feel like he
would be in a better setting like his previous home but they're unable to do anything further as doctor said
it's his baseline behavior .

not be allowed to be readmitted to the facility after his stay in the acute psychiatric hospital because the
facility could not handle R1's behaviors. V2 stated he was unsure why they were unable to find R1
placement in a group home after his return from the hospital. V3 said R1 was still at the acute psychiatric
hospital at the time of this investigation. V3 said he was told there was an appeal process but V3 did not
know what he was supposed to do or who to talk to about that.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 8/29/23 at 9:45 AM, V1 (Administrator) was asked why an emergency involuntary discharge was
performed when R1 had been at the acute psychiatric hospital for 10 days and responded R1 was initially
sent to the acute psychiatric hospital for behaviors and when they called back and told us his behaviors
were his base line that is when we initiated the emergency involuntary discharge. V1 said she felt like the
acute psychiatric hospital was better equipped to care for R1's behavioral needs. V1 verified there was no
documentation from R1's physician documenting why the facility could not meet R1's needs, what
interventions had been put in place, and why the receiving facility was better equipped to care for R1.
