The results of the evaluation must be
discussed with the resident or resident's
representative. All relevant resident information
must be incorporated into the discharge plan to
facilitate its implementation and to avoid
unnecessary delays in the resident's discharge
or transfer.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to implement an effective and safe
discharge for one of three sampled residents
(Resident A), who was identified as unable to
safely administer own medications and
required caregiver support with ADLs, was
discharged to an unlicensed room and board (a
facility that offers to the general public living
accommodations and meals).
This failure resulted in the unsafe
discharge/transition to the community, leading
to the readmission of Resident A to the acute
care hospital.
Findings:
On July 3, 2018, an unannounced visit to the
facility was conducted to investigate a
complaint related to admission, transfer, and
discharge.
Resident A's record was reviewed. Resident A
was admitted to the facility on March 7, 2018,
with diagnoses which included dementia
