Ensure the transfer/discharge meets the resident's needs/preferences and that the resident is prepared for
a safe transfer/discharge.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of resident records, facility policy, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to
provide discharge instructions and prescription medication upon discharge (Resident R1). Findings:Review
of the Facility's Policy titled Discharge Transition Packet Instruction, last revised 6/2025 revealed, The facility
will complete discharge transition instruction when the resident/patient is anticipating discharge to a private
residence, or personal care/assisted living. The instruction will assist the resident/patient to adjust to
returning to his/her previous living environment safely or to a new living environment in a safe manner.A
review of the clinical record for Resident R1 revealed a admission date October 14, 2025, with diagnosis of
cervical disc degeneration, radiculopathy lumbar, hemiplegia, end stage renal disease, muscle wasting
atrophy, difficulty in walking, need for assistance with personal care, chronic diastolic, thrombocytopenia, A
review of Resident R1's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], indicated a Brief Interview for
Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, reflecting cognitive intact. A clinical progress note dated January 29,
2026, stated that on January 27, 2026, and January 29, 2026, the social worker contacted the resident's
family members via email to clarify prior communication and provide follow-up regarding referrals initiated
by social services for potential facility-to-facility transfers to other rehabilitation facilities. At that time,
Resident R1 had not been accepted for transfer to another facility. Due to the exhaustion of Resident R1's
Medicare benefits as of January 29, 2026, and because provisions for an extended stay had not been
secured, the facility planned to proceed with discharge on [DATE]. Referrals were initiated for skilled home
care services, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and nursing services. Referrals for custodial
home care services could also be made upon request. A post-discharge appointment with Resident R1's
primary care provider was to be scheduled. Transportation was arranged for 10:00 a.m. on January 30,
2026.A separate clinical progress note dated January 29, 2026, at 1:42 p.m. revealed that a resident's
family member responded that the family had already submitted medical necessity forms on behalf of the
resident and that a durable medical equipment (DME) referral from [NAME] was not needed at that
time.Another clinical progress note dated January 30, 2026, was written by Licensed Nurse Employee E6,
stating that the resident was discharged to home at 9:35 a.m., first going to dialysis and then transferring
home. All personal belongings remained at the facility, awaiting family pickup and receipt of discharge
instructions and prescriptions.Further review of the clinical file revealed a copy of the discharge summary
signed by Registered Nurse Employee E4 on January 30, 2026. The medication section of the discharge
summary indicated the following:Glucosamine-Chondroitin oral tablet: 1 tablet by mouth every 8 hours. The
last dose was administered on January 30, 2026, at 6:00 a.m., with the next dose due at 2:00 p.m.Auryxia
oral tablet 1 g/210 mg (Fe): 1 tablet by mouth three times daily. The last dose was administered on January
30, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., with the next dose due at 2:00 p.m.Gabapentin oral tablet 100 mg:

1 tablet by mouth twice daily. The last dose was administered on January 30, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., with the
next dose due at 5:00 p.m.Dorzolamide HCl-Timolol Maleate 2%-0.5% ophthalmic solution: 1 drop in the

last dose was administered on January 30, 2026, at 6:00 a.m., with the next dose due at 2:00 p.m.On
February 4, 2026, at 12:52 p.m., Registered Nurse Employee E4 was interviewed and confirmed that the
resident was discharged on January 30, 2026, at 9:35 a.m., but she did not sign the discharge packet until
approximately 9:00 p.m. during her night shift, which was after the resident had already left the facility.
Employee E4 stated that she was unable to provide the discharge packet to the resident because the
resident was no longer at the facility.Employee E4 explained that the facility typically discharges residents
even when they have scheduled appointments prior to going home. She stated that when a resident has an
appointment, as Resident R1 did with a scheduled dialysis appointment, the discharge should normally be
completed before the appointment, and the resident's discharge instructions, prescriptions, and belongings
should be made available for the resident to take with him before leaving the facility. In this case, however,
Resident R1 left the facility without receiving discharge instructions, prescriptions, or personal
belongings.There was no documentation indicating that the resident refused to sign or receive the
discharge instructions or prescriptions. Additionally, it was determined that the nurse responsible for the
discharge is expected to review discharge instructions with the resident to ensure understanding and to
provide prescriptions. Employee E4 confirmed that she was not the nurse who discharged the resident, and
that the discharge instructions were not provided to Resident R1 at the time of discharge.As a result,
Resident R1 was discharged without receiving required discharge instructions, medications, or personal
belongings, indicating a breakdown in the facility's discharge process and a failure to ensure a safe and
complete transition from the facility to home.On February 4, 2026, at 2:06 p.m., an interview was conducted
with the Administrator, who confirmed that the resident was alert and oriented and should have received
discharge instructions and prescription medication upon discharge on [DATE], at 9:35 a.m. There was no
documentation in the clinical file indicating that the facility offered the discharge summary with prescription
medication instructions. The clinical file also lacked documentation showing that the resident was offered
the information and refused to sign or receive a copy of the discharge summary.The resident's
representative arrived to pick up the resident's discharge instructions and prescription documentation on
January 30, 2026, at approximately 9:00 p.m., which indicates that the resident was inappropriately
discharged without discharge instructions, prescription medication.28 PA. Code 201.14(a)(b) Responsibility
