Review of an undated letter addressed to Resident #62's representative revealed the facility was initiating a
30-day written discharge notice. The letter included that on 04/15/25 that you were notified in person or via
telephone that on 05/16/25 the Memory Care unit would be closing. All residents residing on the memory
care unit were evaluated by the medical director on April 15th (2025) to determine if the resident was
appropriate to be moved to the floor or if due to safety concerns they needed different levels of care. The
Social Service Designee would continue to work with you to place the resident in an appropriate setting. If
you have any concerns, please call me. Please see the attached discharge notice. At the bottom of the
letter the State Long Term Care Ombudsman office email was provided along with the Regional, however
there was no evidence on how to appeal the discharge.

reason for the discharge was the welfare and needs of the residents cannot be met in the facility. The local
Ombudsman number was provided and the email section indicated to see attachment. There was no
evidence for residents with mental disorder or related disabilities, the mailing and email address and
telephone number of the agency responsible for the protection and advocacy of individuals with a mental
disorder was included in the notice. The notice indicated that a copy of the notice would be sent to the State
Health Department and State Long Term Care Ombudsman. There was no evidence that a copy of the
discharge order was sent with the discharge notice. The discharge notice was difficult to read due to it
having been re-copied and some areas were darkened and not very legible, random lines running through
the notice, and wording was blurry.

was no date when it was received. There was no evidence that the representative received the second

Residents Affected - Some
Interview on 05/05/25 at 12:29 P.M., with Resident #62's representative revealed the discharge process
was very fast paced, however it ended up being a good move since the other residents from the memory
care unit were transferred to the same facility. The facility was a little further (1:45 minutes away) from her
and she can't visit as frequently as she would like, but she had another resident family check on her
resident frequently that lives close. The representative reported she was not provided with a discharge
notice on how to appeal the discharge. She had only received a one-page letter twice.
Interview on 05/05/25 at 11:29 A.M. and 05/06/25 at 9:59 A.M., with Social Service Designee (SSD) #56
revealed the discharge notice indicated the state health department would be notified of the discharge
however he did not send a copy to the state health department. SSD #56 reported original he notified
residents representatives via phone or in person on 04/15/25 of the closer of the memory care unit. On
04/16/25 after speaking to the Ombudsman he sent the 30-day notice letter out to all representatives via
regular mail and then later that day he sent the same letter out via certified mail. He did not include the
attachment (discharge notice) per the letter in the first two letters he sent, so he sent a third certified letter
out to include the discharge letter around or on 04/18/25. SSD #56 confirmed the discharge notice did not
include all the required information (date and location of discharge or advocate information for residents
with a mental health disorder). The SSD #56 confirmed he did not send out a revised discharge notice with
location and date of discharge to the representative. SSD #56 confirmed there was no documented
evidence that the representative received the discharge notice due to he only received one certified receipt
back.
Interview on 05/05/25 at 12:53 P.M., with the Administrator confirmed Resident #58, #59, #60, #61, and
#62's discharge notices were not completed to include the required information such as date and location
of discharge. The Administrator confirmed the state health department was not notified of the five
discharges as well.
Interview on 05/05/25 at 11:43 via email with the Local Ombudsman revealed she had concerns with
improper discharges when the facility closed the memory care unit. The facility had reported they had
provided 30-day notices to the residents/representatives. When the Ombudsman asked the facility for
copies of the discharge notices as they were not sent to her the SSD #56 told her the Administrator told him
they did not have to provide those to her, and they were doing everything right and the Ombudsman would
get a notice with the monthly transfer and discharges notices. The Ombudsman explained to the SSD the
discharge process included sending the ombudsman the notice he then went on to say they did not do a
notice only phone calls. The Ombudsman explained the resident had a right to a 30-day notice. The SSD
eventually called her back and sent a notice. The notice was not appropriate. He did not include information
about an appeal or discharge location, etc. it just said you had 30 days to find placement. The families were
told the long-term facility (that's about 40 minutes away) was the best option or they could go 2 1/2 hours
