This failure had the potential of Resident 1 not being informed of his discharge rights and could have resulted in an improper discharge. Findings: Review of Resident 1's record indicated he was admitted to the facility on 10/31/19 with diagnoses including pneumonia (lung infection). His Minimum Data Set, (MDS, a standardized, comprehensive assessment tool), dated 11/6/19, indicated Resident 1 did not have any memory problem and had no difficulty in daily decision-making skills. Resident 1's facesheet (document that gives a resident's information at a quick glance) indicated he was self-responsible. During an interview on 12/9/19 at 1:20 p.m., Resident 1 stated the facility was discharging him today against his will and he did not receive a discharge notice. Review of the Notice of Medicare NonCoverage form signed by Resident 1 on 11/22/19, indicated his coverage of current skilled level of nursing care and/or rehabilitation services was to end on 11/24/19. According to the federal regulation, the NTD required documenting the reason for discharge, the location of where the resident was being discharged to, sending a copy of the notice to a representative of the OSLTCO, and the notice FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: 3RVP11 Facility ID: CA070000017 If continuation sheet 4 of 5 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.
