Administrator stated the facility does not have a process in place for discharge or transfer notices. Review of a policy titled Transfer and Discharge (including AMA) (dated 01/01/24) revealed once a resident is transferred or discharged from the facility, a transfer/discharge notice will be provided to the resident and the resident's representative in a language and manner in which they can understand. The notice should contain the specific reason and basis for the transfer or discharge, the effective date, the specific location, and an explanation of the right to appeal the transfer or discharge. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00150275.
