Ombudsman's Office (state agency advocates
for long-term or LTC care residents and
families) for one of three sampled residents
(Resident A) as required, at the time of
discharge. This failure increased the potential
risk for Resident A and her family members
(FM 1 and FM 2) to be uninformed of discharge
rights, and limited the ability of the
Ombudsman to assist Resident A.
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.
On October 10, 2018, at 8:45 a.m., an
unannounced visit was made to the facility for
the investigation of one complaint that
concerned Resident A.
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 Record indicated Resident A had
a history of deafness (inability to hear), cancer,
seizures (sudden, involuntary movements of
body or limbs usually caused by brain injury or
disease), and weakness.
The History and Physical, dated August 29,
2018, indicated Resident A had the capacity to
make decisions.
The Physician's Order, dated September 27,
2018, untimed, indicated, "...Discharge to
(name of Board and Care facility) on
09/28/2018..."

On October 16, 2018, at 10 a.m., the DON was
interviewed by telephone. The DON stated the
DSS initiated the discharge process usually
three days before the resident was discharged
from the facility. The DON stated she did not
know why Resident A's discharge forms were
not completed.
On October 16, 2018, at 10:10 a.m., the DSS
was interviewed by telephone. The DSS stated
she notified Resident A's doctor that Resident
A no longer needed skilled care at the facility.
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"

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.

family was not present for Resident A's
discharge; and, the DSS arranged for Resident

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.

(iii) Reconciliation of all pre-discharge
medications with the resident's post-discharge
medications (both prescribed and over-thecounter).
(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.
