Not transfer or discharge a resident without an adequate reason; and must provide documentation and
convey specific information when a resident is transferred or discharged.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to make certain that the
necessary resident information was communicated to the physician before the resident was discharged
against medical advice (AMA) for one of one resident reviewed. (Residents R1).
Findings include:
Review of Resident R1's clinical record revealed the resident was admitted on [DATE], with the diagnoses
of fracture of right lower leg, Parkinson's disease (movement disorder of the nervous system), dysphagia
(difficulty swallowing), type 2 diabetes (failure of the body to produce insulin), and lack of coordination,.
Review of Resident R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a periodic assessment of care needs) dated,
November 16, 2024, revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) of 15 which indicated that the
resident was cognitively intact.
On January 27, 2025, at 9:02 a.m., an interview was held with the Administrator, Employee E1, and the
Director of Nursing, Employee E2, who reported that Resident R1 was discharged with AMA (Against
Medical Advice) status as the family did not cooperate in receiving transfer training to safely take the
resident to a funeral. The interdisciplinary team (IDT), did not agree with Resident R1 leaving the facility
without the family being trained to safely transfer the resident.
On January 27, 2025, at 10:42 a.m., a telephone interview was conducted with the physician (Employee
E7). Employee E7 revealed that he/she was unaware of the AMA status or the family's non-compliance.
Employee E7 received a message on January 16, 2025, requesting a call back before 10:00 a.m. regarding
Resident R1. However, by the time the physician, Employee E7 returned the call, Resident R1 had already
left the facility. Employee E7 stated during interview that if he/she had been informed, it would have been
recommended that the facility document the family's refusal rather than having the resident sign for an
Against Medical Advice (AMA) discharge.
On January 27, 2025, at 11:14 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Rehabilitation Director (Employee
E6). Employee E6 revealed that on January 14, 2025, the family requested that Resident R1 attend a family
funeral. Two male family members were designated to assist the resident with transfers, as the resident is
unable to ambulate independently. Employee E6 reported that Resident R1 required one-person assistance
with minimal support for transfers. The family was offered training the following day to ensure a safe
transfer; however, the family declined, as the two family members were out of state and unavailable to
attend the training.

or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a

ensure that routine dental services were provided to residents in a timely manner for one of five clinical
records reviewed (Resident R1) .
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:

2025, indicated that R1's Xarelto medication needed to be held for three days before the scheduled
procedure.
A review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for February 23-27, 2025 revealed that Xarelto
was administered, with no documentation indicating that it needed to be held for Resident R1 to undergo
the scheduled procedure on February 27, 2025.

Nursing (Employee E2) revealed that the Xarelto medication was not held prior to today's appointment due
to the unit manager reported that she missed the special instruction to withhold it. As a result, the
procedure needed to be rescheduled.
