**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, staff interview, and policy review the facility failed to notify a family member when a Resident
(#22) was transferred to the hospital emergency department. This affected Resident #22 on two separate
occasions. This had the ability to affect all residents. The facility census was 77.Findings include:Review of
Resident #22's medical record revealed an admission date of 07/09/25. Diagnoses included chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, and chronic renal failure.Review of Resident #22's
quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed she had a low cognitive function. Resident #22
was dependent on staff for activities of daily living.Review of Resident #22's most recent care plan revealed
the resident had a behavior problem evidenced by being physically and verbally abusive toward staff and
refusing treatments.Review of Resident #22's contact information revealed she was her own responsible
party. Daughter #1 was the resident's first emergency contact and her authorized Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) contact. Daughter #2 was listed as another emergency contact.
Review of Resident #22's Respiratory Therapy (RT) note dated 09/03/25 at 1:00 A.M. revealed the RT

oxygenation as Resident #22's SpO2 continued to drop and the resident exhibited intermittent jerking of the
extremities, and was very drowsy. Resident #22 failed to respond to verbal stimuli and had minimal
response to physical stimuli. The primary nurse was updated and was asked to come into the room and

Resident #22 was placed back on the ventilator as the resident's SpO2 was at 95%, but as soon as the
resident was put back on the ventilator the resident's oxygen saturation started to decrease almost
immediately so the staff went back to bagging, and called emergency medical services. When emergency
medical services arrived, they took over ventilating the resident and transferred the resident to the
hospital.Review of Resident #22's progress note dated 09/03/25 revealed the resident was hospitalized for
sepsis due to a urinary tract infection. The note was absent of family notification.Review of Resident #22's
RT progress note dated 09/07/25 revealed the resident failed to participate with the respiratory care. A
