F 0624 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few #2 was trying to get out the window. The Secure Unit Staff were unable to redirect the behavior of Resident #2. Resident #2 was placed on a one to one for elopement risk. The Administrator stated since Resident #2 had not been there for 30 days, the decision was made to discharge him to home . The Administrator confirmed this was a facility-initiated discharge. The Administrator reported she was not in the building and the IDON handled the discharge. Resident #2 was discharged to family. The Administrator reported the facility was contacted to see if Resident #2 could return. The staff at the NF informed the caller that the Resident would have to receive a new referral and assess to see if his needs could be met at the NF. During a phone interview on 01/22/2025 at 2:45 PM with Resident #2's family member, the family member stated staff from the NF called and told her she had to come pick up Resident #2 the day after admission. The caller stated they could not keep him. The family member stated the NF did not give any information on how to further care for Resident #2. The family member further stated she felt it was safe to take Resident #2 home because Resident #2s behavior was always pretty good with her. She reported she did not know what had transpired overnight at the NF. She stated Resident #2 is currently at another NF and was doing well. During an interview on 01/22/2025 at 2:56 PM, the Facility Liaison reported the resident was dropped off at the facility by a neighbor. Resident #2 was referred to the facility by his Primary Care Provider. The Facility Liaison reported Resident #2's family member refused to go with the resident to the secure unit upon admission and this set him off. The staff were struggling to trying to keep Resident #2 calm. Prior to admission, Resident #2's family member reported to the Facility Liaison Resident #2 could be combative. The Facility Liaison reported she went to visit Resident #2 while he was in the ER after he was discharged from the NF. She stated she encouraged Resident #2's family member to take the resident to the ER because more information was needed than what was provided by the resident's primary care provider. During an interview with the Corporate DON on 01/22/2025 at 4:25pm she stated the discharge was not implemented according to the policy of the organization. Record Review of the Medical Record on 01/22/2025 showed the record was lacking the Interdisciplinary Discharge Summary and Physician's orders for discharge. Review of facility's Discharge Summary and Plan policy reflected When a resident's discharge is anticipated, a discharge summary and post-discharge plan will be developed to assist the resident to adjust to his/her new living environment.
