Based on interviews and record review the facility failed to ensure the notice of transfer or discharge was
made by the facility at least 30 days before the resident was transferred or discharged and record the
reasons for the transfer or discharge in the resident's medical record and send a copy of the notice to a
representative of the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman, for 1 of 4 residents (Resident #1)
reviewed for transfer and discharge.
The facility did not meet the requirements to discharge Resident #1 due to not providing a written 30-day
notice, not documenting the discharge appropriately, and not contacting the Ombudsman.
This failure could place residents at risk of improper discharge planning and diminished quality of life.
Findings included:
A Face sheet dated 3/19/2024 indicated Resident #1 was a [AGE] year old who was admitted on [DATE]
with diagnosis of Dementia (a progressive or persistent loss of intellectual functioning, especially with
impairment of memory and abstract thinking), Cerebral Infarction (the result of disrupted blood flow to the
brain due to problems with the blood vessels that supply it), Aphasia (difficulty with speech), and muscle
wasting (the decrease in size and wasting of muscle tissue).

Residents Affected - Some
A quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 had a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental
Status) of 01 which indicated severe cognitive impairment and the resident had not exhibited signs of
wandering.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan, undated revealed, Resident #1 was at risk for elopement related
to impaired safety awareness, impulsiveness, and poor insight due to dementia.
A record review of Resident #1's progress notes dated 3/11/2024 indicated Resident #1 attempted to elope
had refused care from staff. The Resident's representative expressed the recent increase of behaviors was
due to increase of family member visits.
A Record review of Resident #'1s progress notes dated 3/18/2024 indicated Resident #1 was on
one-to-one monitoring due to exit seeking behaviors and elopement risk. The resident's representative was
contacted on 3/18/2024 and approved transfer to a different facility.
Record review of Resident #1's progress note dated 3/18/2024 at 9:10 a.m., reflected the resident was on a
1:1 (a 1:1 is where a staff member stays with a resident and does not allow the resident out of eyesight)
and remained on a 1:1 until discharge, thus keeping the resident safe until other arrangements were made
for Resident #1.
Record review of Resident #'1s progress notes on 3/19/2024 and 3/20/2024 indicated transfer of Resident
#1 but did not reflect a reason for the transfer.
Record review of Resident #1's nursing progress notes dated 3/19/2024 indicated the Ombudsman was
informed about the transfer, however, Resident #1 was transferred on 3/18/2024.
During an interview on 3/19/2024 at 2:02 p.m., the Social Worker stated he drove to Resident #1's family
members home to inform her of the transfer of Resident #1 and stated at first the family member did not
agree but after being told they had 5 days to find Resident #1 a place to go if they did not accept this
transfer, the family member agreed.
During a phone interview on 3/19/2024 at 3:42 p.m., with the Nurse Practitioner, he/she stated it was a risk
to the other residents to keep Resident #1 in the facility and stated staff had expressed the need for
Resident #1 to be transferred due to Resident #1's high risk of elopement. The Nurse Practitioner stated
he/she was not aware of the facility's internal policies or process for discharging Resident #1. The Nurse
Practitioner stated the facility could not provide 30 days of 1:1 care for Resident #1.
During an interview on 3/20/2024 at 1:35 p.m., the Administrator stated Resident #1 needed urgent medical
care and this met the exemption to provide a 30-day notice for discharge because the facility could not
provide the level of care, Resident #1 needed due to his attempts to elope.
Record review of facility's Transfer and Discharge policy dated 10/13/2022 stated, a notice must be
provided at least 30 days prior to a facility-initiated transfer or discharge of the resident. Exceptions to the
30-day requirement apply when the transfer or discharge is effected because: the health and/or safety of
the individuals in the facility would be endangered due to the clinical or behavioral status of the resident; the
president's health improves sufficiently to allow a more immediate transfer or discharge; an immediate
transfer or discharge is required by the resident's urgent medical needs; or a resident has not resided in the
facility for 30 days. The facility's Transfer and
