(ii) If the facility that determines that a resident who was transferred with an expectation of returning to the facility, cannot return to the facility, the facility must comply with the requirements of paragraph (c) as they apply to discharges. (e)(2) Readmission to a composite distinct part. When the facility to which a resident returns is a composite distinct part (as defined in § 483.5), the resident must be permitted to return to an available bed in the particular location of the composite distinct part in which he or she resided previously. If a bed is not available in that location at the time of return, the resident must be given the option to return to that location upon the first availability of a bed there. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to readmit one of one sampled resident (Resident 1) following a hospitalization during a seven-day bed hold period and to follow the Department of Health Care Services' Administrative Appeals' order to readmit the resident. These failures violated the resident's right to readmission as required by law.

She stated after Resident 1 became ill at the other facility on 1/26/17, she was transferred back to the hospital where she remained hospitalized. The HSW stated Resident 1's physician thought the resident needed surgery but the resident would not consent.
