F 0624 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Interview on 04/23/24 at 8:21 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #804 indicated she discharged Resident #135 home and provided all the prescriptions and medications that were available in the facility. She stated she was aware that he was going to a bed and breakfast but did not have further information to provide. Interview on 04/23/24 at 9:48 A.M. with LSW #808 indicated Resident #135 was discharged but would not go over the discharge plans with him. LSW #808 stated the resident owned a home, but the home was not safe to live in, and he had attempted to talk to the resident about a group home, an apartment or other lodging. He stated the resident said he was going to a bed and breakfast but would not provide that information to him. Interview on 04/23/24 at 3:00 P.M. with the Administrator confirmed Resident #135's medical record did not contain documented evidence the resident was discharged home with complete and accurate discharge instructions including a list of the resident's medications, the last dose received of those medications, the resident's diet, any follow-up physician visits, and the resident's activity level. Review of the Discharge Planning policy dated 07/17/20 revealed the process that generally began on admission and involved identifying each resident's discharge goals and needs, developing and implementing interventions to address them, and continuously evaluating them throughout the resident's stay to ensure a successful discharge. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00152684.
