Findings: On October 9, 2018, at 3:35 p.m., the Ombudsman for the facility was interviewed by telephone. The Ombudsman stated she had no information about Resident A and was not aware of any complaint.

The DSS stated she then notified nursing staff to get the Physician's order to discharge Resident A to the Board and Care facility. The DSS stated she spoke to FM 2 on the telephone about Resident A's discharge. When asked why the "Notice of Transfer/Discharge" form indicated FM 1 was contacted, the DSS stated the form should have indicated FM 2 was contacted and, "...may have been an error on my part..."The DSS further stated the Ombudsman office should be notified by fax when the Notice is issued to the family. A facility provided copy of a fax to the Ombudsman was reviewed and did not contain any resident specific information to indicate Resident A's "Notice of Transfer/Discharge" was sent.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide discharge instructions for one of three sampled residents (Resident A) to include medications, oral care, diet, and continued plan of care, when Resident A was discharged from the facility. This failure increased the potential risk for harm and a decline in Resident A's health status, and may have contributed to Resident A's transfer to the emergency room the day after she was discharged. Findings: On October 1, 2018, a complaint was received concerning Resident A. The complaint indicated Resident A's family members (FM 1 and FM 2) saw Resident A at (name of hospital) emergency room on September 29, 2018, and FM 1 and FM 2 were concerned about a lesion on Resident A's lip. On October 10, 2018, at 8:45 a.m., an unannounced visit was made to the facility for the investigation of one complaint. On October 10, 2018, beginning at 9:16 a.m., Resident A's record was reviewed. The record indicated Resident A was admitted to the facility on August 27, 2018, from (name of hospital).

The DSS stated Resident A was examined by the facility's Dentist on the day she was discharged from the facility. On October 10, 2018, at 10:44 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 was interviewed. CNA 1 stated she remembered Resident A. CNA 1 stated Resident A was totally dependent on the facility staff for her daily care. CNA 1 stated Resident A developed a blister and red painful areas on her lips that hurt Resident A when she tried to eat. CNA 1 stated the doctor ordered medication to be applied to Resident A's mouth and lips. On October 10, 2018, at 11:15 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 was interviewed. LVN 1 stated she remembered Resident A. LVN 1 stated Resident A could read lips and communicate by tapping the nurse's hands to say "no." LVN 1 stated Resident A required assistance to eat. LVN 1 stated she notified Resident A's doctor because Resident A refused to eat. LVN 1 stated Resident A's doctor ordered Nystatin (medication used to treat painful fungus infections of the mouth) for the red, painful areas on Resident A's lips. LVN 1 stated the first two doses were too painful for Resident A to take in her mouth, but Resident A's mouth started to improve with the medication. Resident A's record was then further reviewed.

(iv) A post-discharge plan of care that is developed with the participation of the resident and, with the resident's consent, the resident representative(s), which will assist the resident to adjust to his or her new living environment. The post-discharge plan of care must indicate where the individual plans to reside, any arrangements that have been made for the resident's follow up care and any postdischarge medical and non-medical services. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a discharge summary was completed for one of three sampled residents (Resident A) when Resident A was discharged to a Board and Care facility. This failure increased the potential for harm to Resident A, caused Resident A, her family members, and the Board and Care staff to be uninformed about Resident A's plan of care, and may have contributed to Resident A's transfer to the emergency room the day after she was discharged. Findings: On October 1, 2018, a complaint was received concerning Resident A. The complaint indicated Resident A's family members (FM 1 and FM 2) saw Resident A at (name of hospital) on September 29, 2018, and were concerned about a lesion on Resident A's lip. On October 1, 2018, at 8:45 a.m., an unannounced visit was made to the facility for the investigation of one complaint.
