F 0622 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 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.

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 .

On 8/24/23 at 12:29 PM, V2 (R1's Legal Guardian) said the facility had called him to inform him R1 would 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.
