Not require residents to give up Medicare or Medicaid benefits, or pay privately as a condition of admission;
and must tell residents what care they do not provide.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to establish and implement an admissions policy for one
(Resident #1) of three residents reviewed for admissions.The facility did not provide Resident #1 and his
RP with a written admission agreement, consent to treat, resident rights notification, Medicare/Medicaid
information or disclosure of services and charges at the time of admission. This failure placed residents at
risk of receiving care and services without informed consent, being uninformed of rights and financial
obligations and not knowing how to exercise Medicare/Medicaid protections.Findings included:Record
review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 08/26/25 reflected he was a 71?year?old male admitted on
[DATE]. His active diagnoses included nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding within the
brainstem), anxiety disorder (mental health condition causing agitation), colostomy status (surgical opening
in the colon for stool elimination), urinary retention with catheter use (inability to empty bladder requiring a
tube), and gastrostomy status (feeding tube placed into the stomach). Resident #1 had a family member
[RP] listed as his representative.Record review of Resident #1's admission care plan dated 08/20/25
reflected focus areas that included risk for line dislodgement, infection, aspiration, weight loss, and
dehydration. Record review of Resident #1's facility documents and clinical chart reflected no evidence of
an admission agreement, no consent for treatment, no written notification of resident rights and no
documentation that Medicare/Medicaid coverage and service/charge disclosures were provided. An
interview with Resident #1's RP on 08/26/25 at 11:45 AM revealed the entire discharge from the hospital,
admission to the facility and discharge the next morning to the ER was a really bad experience. The RP
said they felt Resident #1 had been discharged to the nursing facility prematurely and he was not ready for
a skilled stay. The RP said Resident #1 spoke another language natively and since his stroke, his ability to
understand English had decreased significantly. The RP stated that Resident #1 admitted to the facility from
the hospital for a planned admission on the evening of 08/20/25 around 6:00 PM. The RP stated, When I
went there, they didn't give me anything, I was pissed. All the communication was happening with them and
the hospital, but they never went over any admission paperwork with me. The RP stated they asked the
facility for Resident #1's hospital clinicals that were sent as well as any hospital discharge documentation,
but they did not provide it. The RP stated the facility was trying to get verbal consents for things. The RP
stated there was no physical evidence or proof as a result that Resident #1 was admitted to the facility, only
the discharge order from the hospital that he was being sent there. The RP stated when he/she came to
see Resident #1 the evening of admission, the RP was not provided with an admission packet, no one
discussed what the resident's rights were or any required disclosures and facility protocols. The RP stated, I
signed nothing and they provided nothing. The RP stated the morning of 08/26/25, she received a phone
call from the facility wanting Resident #1's social security information for billing reasons. The RP said

she refused to disclose it due to concerns of how Resident #1 was transferred to the ER on [DATE]. An
interview with the BOM on 08/26/25 at 1:33 PM, revealed she was responsible for completing the
admission documentation for new admissions. The BOM stated when a resident admitted to the facility, We
start admission documentation that day. I have to be here. Most important docs are consent to treat and
social security. The BOM stated the next step was to ensure there was a POA on file, especially if the
resident was not cognitively intact, as well as advanced directives which were included in the admission
packet. The BOM stated she was not present the evening Resident #1 admitted to the facility, but had been
working earlier that day. When she came to work the following day 08/21/25, she saw that Resident #1 had
been sent out to the hospital, so she called his RP to get his social security number and needed the RP to
sign his Consent to Treat form. The BOM stated, We still needed it because we still cared for him briefly
while he was here, so it is a CYA [cover your ass]. [RP] finally answered me this morning and said no to
giving his social until [RP] got what she needed on why he was discharged . The BOM stated Resident #1's
RP had come in a week prior to admission to tour the facility but claimed the RP did not come the night he
admitted . The BOM said a lot of the required forms at the time of admission could be done electronically,
so the person did not have to be at the facility face to face to complete them. The BOM stated by the end of
the first week she liked to have all her required admission documentation in place. She stated, I have
nothing on him [Resident #1]. I know that is bad, but I did try to get it in my defense. She [Resident #1's RP]
could have signed them electronically the day he came in, but I feel like I didn't know he was coming, it was
not set in stone. The BOM stated she could not provide any evidence that the facility notified the resident
and his RP of the required admission documentation and disclosures. Review of the facility's Introduction
statement in their admission Packet undated reflected, State and federal regulations require nursing homes
to have written policies covering the rights of residents.The nursing home's staff must implement these
policies and explain them to you.This booklet describes your rights and the responsibilities nursing homes
have for ensuring those rights. The admission Packet also included 10 forms that were listed as requiring
receipt and acknowledgement by the resident or the RP/POA to include:1. Consent to Treat2. Assignment
of Benefits3. Schedule of Charges for Ancillary Services4. Information about Medicare and Medicaid
Eligibility5. Medicaid Estate Recovery Program6. Resident Rights Under Federal Law7. Ombudsman
Services and Contact Information8. Family Council Information9. Policy for Criminal History Check for

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
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure when there is a transfer or discharge of resident
under any of the circumstances specified in paragraphs (c)(1)(i)(A) through (F) of this section, the facility
must ensure that the transfer or discharge appropriate information is communicated to the receiving health
care institution; and the facility failed to provide and document sufficient preparation and orientation in a
form and manner the resident could understand for one (Resident #1) of five residents reviewed for hospital
transfers. 1. The facility sent Resident #1, who they indicated was having a behavioral emergency (pulling
on his g-tube, ostomy and catheter) and was in danger of dislodging them, in a private non-medical
transport vehicle and left him without facility staff or a family member to supervise him while in the ER
waiting area.2. The facility failed to notify and coordinate with Resident #1's RP prior to sending him out to
the ER, which did not allow the RP to select the preferred hospital of her choice or be there in time to
supervise him and interpret for hospital staff. 3. The facility failed to provide the hospital ER with any clinical
information prior to Resident #1's arrival on [DATE], including what his medical emergency was. 4. The
facility did not notify and update the MD/NP that EMS refused to transport Resident #1 to the ER because
they felt he was not having a medical emergency after the NP gave a verbal order to send him out. On
[DATE] an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified. While the IJ was removed on [DATE], the facility
remained out of compliance at a severity level of no actual harm and a scope of isolated due to the facility
continuing to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their Plan of Removal. Findings
included:Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated [DATE], reflected he was a 71?year?old male
admitted on [DATE]. Active diagnoses included nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding within the
brainstem), anxiety disorder (mental health condition causing agitation), colostomy status (surgical opening
in the colon for stool elimination), urinary retention with catheter use (inability to empty bladder requiring a
tube), and gastrostomy status (feeding tube placed into the stomach). Resident #1 had a family member
[RP] listed as his representative.Record review of Resident #1's admission care plan, dated [DATE],
reflected focus areas included risk for line dislodgement, infection, aspiration, weight loss, and dehydration.
The care plan did not address any behavioral concerns. Record review of Resident #1's facility admission
orders reflected he was not discharged from the hospital with any routine or PRN psychotropic medications,
including anxiety medication. Additionally there were no transfer orders to send Resident #1 to the ER on
[DATE]. Record review of Resident #1's admission nursing note written by RN F on [DATE] at 11:11PM
reflected the resident was confused and anxious, attempted to pull at his tubes, and required one?to?one
supervision to prevent device removal.Record review of a follow up skilled nursing note on [DATE] at 3:57
AM reflected Resident #1's vitals were all within normal limits and he was in no pain. The skilled nursing
note stated, .The resident is disoriented.The resident is unable to speak.Other Observations: Resident new
admit day 1/3 alert and confused very agitated, anxious pulling tubes abdominal binder in place to secure
g-tube, foley and colostomy. Awake all night resident on one and one. Total care with adl.Record review of
Resident #1's nursing progress note, dated [DATE] at 12:31 PM by the DON, reflected, This writer received
call from primary nurse that resident was attempting to remove urinary catheter peg tube and ostomy
device. We were unable to successfully redirect the resident and he required ongoing higher-level care.
Primary nurse was instructed by MD to send resident to ER for evaluation due to unable to keep resident
safe in current building due to pulling lines and aggressive behavior. The DON further wrote, Action: 911

spoke with [name redacted] from [Fire Station] who advised this writer that paramedics would not be taking
this resident to the hospital as per them he appeared to be medically stable and that the safety aspect of
his care would need to be addressed with the [city Police Department or private transportation. This writer
then requested nursing staff to arrange private transport via [private transport company] car. Related to RP
notification, the DON wrote, Response: [RP] was notified of transfer and requested that resident be sent
‘anywhere but [previous hospital]' Resident was transported via [private transport company] to [different
nearby hospital]. Information was relayed by this nurse to triage nurse at [nearby hospital], as well as to [ER
MD] for continuity of care.An interview with Resident #1's RP on [DATE] at 11:45 AM revealed the entire
discharge from the hospital, admission to the facility and discharge the next morning to the ER was a really
bad experience. She stated Resident #1 was transferred to the ER without clinical documentation and
without a staff escort. The RP reported that upon arrival, the resident's ostomy was leaking and he was
agitated. The RP further stated the ER staff were upset because the resident was by himself, the ER did
not receive information about the resident's diagnoses or reason for transfer and were unable to
communicate with the resident who did not speak English. The ER staff asked the RP who transported
Resident #1 to the ER and the RP assumed he was sent out 911. The ER nurses indicated to the RP that
Resident #1 appeared to be brought in a wheelchair in a normal vehicle, no paperwork, no reports, no
nothing. They told her Resident #1 was then transferred to a hospital wheelchair by the person who drove
him there, taken to the front desk, and told the resident was there. The RP stated she found out Resident
#1 was transported through a private company which was upsetting to her. The RP stated, They know this
is not right, what they did with [Resident #1]! What if they had taken him and put him in the street? Who
was this person transporting him? A medical person? No one stayed with [Resident #1] when they took him
to the ER! The ER nurses told the RP that he was brought in through what looked like a ride share
company. The RP stated, That is not a proper way to bring someone.I was like who are these people? They
just dumped him? How would we know where he was? The facility was not responding, the (ER) staff heard
me trying to talk to the facility about sending any reports. An interview with the DON on [DATE] at 10:45 AM
revealed the facility initially attempted to send Resident #1 via EMS, but EMS declined transport,
determining the situation was not a medical emergency. The DON stated staff then arranged private
non?medical transport. The DON confirmed only a medication list was sent with Resident #1 and verbal
report was given to a different hospital prior to rerouting the transport. The DON acknowledged that no staff
accompanied the resident and that the ER nurse contacted her and was upset and expressed concern that
Resident #1 arrived unsupervised, non?English speaking, and without medical documentation. The DON
stated she also spoke with the ER physician who was also asking questions about why the resident was
sent to the ER and why there was no information on him. The DON stated that when Resident #1 was
brought into the ER, he was left in the ER by med transport as that is protocol. The DON stated that if
Resident #1 had been brought in via 911, then he would have been taken back immediately to an ER bed
and evaluated.An interview with LVN A on [DATE] at 1:04 PM revealed she was the 6a-2p nurse and arrived
to work the morning of [DATE] around 5:45 AM and was told by the overnight nurse during report the staff
was having problems with Resident #1, he did not sleep at all and was pulling at everything coming out of
him, his foley, colostomy and g-tube. LVN A stated the overnight nurse was not the normal nurse who
worked, it was a PRN nurse. When LVN A went to see Resident #1 during her first rounds, he had
disconnected his g-tube tubing. LVN A stated Resident #1 did not speak English and the facility did not
have a interpreting services. LVN A stated and he was not letting her reconnect his g-tube and he did not
know what was going on cognitively. LVN A stated the

facility did have a supply of abdominal binders available to use for residents in that situation and she could
have placed one on him quickly to prevent him from accessing the gtube but did not. LVN A also stated
Resident #1 had no routine or PRN meds to administer to help him relax. LVN A stated the facility did have
PRN anxiety medications available for behavioral emergencies in an e-Kit [facility's emergency medication
supply], but she did not contact the MD or NP to ask about those as a possible intervention. LVN A stated, I
called the staffing person and said there was someone watching him over night but I can't stay with him, I
didn't know he was an issue til I got here, so DON called me and said he was danger to himself, so send
him out.and to send him back where he came from. LVN A stated when the EMTs arrived, they took
Resident #1's vitals and even though he was still pulling at everything, they said it was not a medical
emergency and would not take him. When LVN A spoke with the DON again, she told LVN A to have their
transport services take Resident #1 back to the hospital. LVN A stated there was a driver the facility used
who did medical appointments and hospital transfers, but she was out in the field busy, so non-medical
transport was set up instead. LVN A stated she did notify Resident #1's RP after he was picked up by the
private transport company of his transfer to the ER. She said the RP told her Resident #1 could not go back
to the hospital he had just come from the day before, But he was already in route. LVN A then contacted the
DON who called the private transport person enroute to tell him to take the resident to the closer ER by the
facility. LVN A stated she contacted the RP back to let them know, but the RP was not happy with the local
ER because it was too far for her to get too. LVN A stated, [The RP] never told me where [they] wanted him
to go. I was already frustrated and two hours behind schedule and called [the RP] twice and then I sent [the
RP] to the DON and I don't know anything after that. LVN A stated that the facility could send residents
anywhere the family wanted and did respect family requests. LVN A stated she did not call the facility's MD
or NP G but did let NP G know after the transfer to the ER was done. She said NP G was housed onsite at
the facility every weekday but was not at the facility when the decision was made to send Resident #1 to
the ER. Regarding clinicals and transfer documentation, LVN A stated Resident #1 did not have anything to
send and only sent his face sheet and list of medications. LVN A stated, I was going to send the whole
packet from the hospital but I thought no, we may need it when he comes back. It would not have helped
the receiving hospital. It was just a list of meds and stuff. LVN A stated she called and gave report to the
previous hospital Resident #1 was originally going to be taken back to, before it was changed to the local
ER. LVN A stated, And then I don't know what happened after that because I passed it to the DON. LVN A
stated the importance of giving the receiving hospital ER a report was to let them know why the resident
was being sent out, his diagnoses, what was going on with him at the moment. LVN A stated she never
followed up and contacted the local ER to give them a report on why he was sent there because she
thought the DON did. LVN A stated she did not think anyone stayed with Resident #1 once he arrived at the
ER. She said with non-medical transport, the driver would usually drop the resident off at the ER and let
them the ER front desk know the resident was there. LVN A said she did not think Resident #1 was safe to
be at the ER by himself because she thought him pulling at his three lines would still be an issue. She said
normally for a resident that was not alert and oriented, the resident would have family go with them to the
ER or a staff would be with the resident until family could meet them there. LVN A said the risk of Resident
#1 being alone in the ER waiting room area was that he could have pulled one of his lines out and caused
damage.An interview with Staff C on [DATE] at 1:47 PM revealed she was a CNA and the facility van driver
and was working the day Resident #1 was sent out to the ER. She said the resident was trying to pull out
his gtube and she was trying to stop him and when the paramedics came

in, he calmed down. They took his vitals and said it was a non-emergency unless he pulled out his g-tube,
then they could take him. Staff C stated LVN A asked for her to help with transportation, so Staff C
contacted the non-emergency private transport company. She stated the typical medical transport company
was too busy that day to transport Resident #1 to the ER. Staff C stated, I needed someone and he needed
to go to the hospital, he was irritable, trying to pull the g-tube and he was going back to the hospital he
came from. Staff C stated she and LVN A let the DON know transport was secured, got Resident #1's face
sheet, got him dressed, caressed his arm and told him no one was going to harm him and she was there to
assist while using her phone translator to translate into his native language, and he told her thank you back
in his language. She stated she got a sheet and tucked it around his torso and he seemed to relax. Staff C
stated, They saw him being fidgety but it was not an emergency for him. She stated for non-emergency
transportation to the ER, a family member had to be present if the resident had a cognitive impairment and
for skilled residents, the family would meet the staff at the hospital. Staff C stated with someone like
Resident #1, with him being feisty, a family member would need to be present for him because of the
translation barrier. She said if she took a resident to the hospital and it was a resident she knew could not
be left alone and family was not present, by all means, I stay at the appointment. Staff C stated because
Resident #1 did not speak English, was pulling at his g-tube and agitated, he would need someone to be
with him for supervision. Staff C stated normally the charge nurse of the resident would let her know if she
needed to stay with a resident at the hospital or not, but with Resident #1, she was not the driver that day,
she only assisted with finding transportation. An interview with CNA D on [DATE] at 2:09 PM revealed she
was present when Resident #1 was sent to the ER. She stated he was restless, fighting to push his pants
off, and trying to pull out his g-tube, . She said he was saying something in another language she could not
understand. She said she did incontinent care and placed a brief on him. CNA D stated there were other
residents in the facility that sometimes pulled at their tubes and when they did, there was a rubber belt the
facility had that could be fixed on the resident and zipped to hold the tubing in place covered and it was
very hard to get into and pull off. She stated Resident #1 did not have an abdominal binder on when she
saw him on [DATE]. An interview with Receptionist E on [DATE] at 3:01 PM revealed sometime during the
early morning of [DATE], an unidentified nurse , told her they were sending out Resident #1. She did not
ask any questions but was there to tell the EMT where to go. She said he ended up not going out 911 and
did not know why, but she saw him taken out by a non-medical transport. Receptionist E stated once
Resident #1 left the facility, his RP called asking why the RP was not notified or why the hospital had not
contacted her yet. Receptionist E stated the RP was mad and called back again right before the shift was
over saying she needed someone from higher up at the facility to email her the resident's clinicals for the
ER to have for review. Receptionist E stated the RP told her the facility was going to be reported to State by
the RP as well as the hospital who was filing a complaint against the facility. An interview with RN F on
[DATE] at 3:27 PM reflected she was the admitting nurse at the facility on [DATE] and was told Resident #1
was admitting on her shift. He arrived on a stretcher with his RP present. RN F stated she did her nursing
assessment and remembered Resident #1 was trying to pull at his tubes and not being still. She asked his
RP to stay at the facility because she felt the resident needed to be watched. RN F stated the facility did not
know Resident #1 had that behavior as it was not in the report from the discharging hospital. She said she
knew Resident #1 was coming with an open surgical incision with a g-tube and catheter. RN F stated
Resident #1 had an ace wrap on his abdomen from the hospital, not an abdominal binder, and it was not
being effective. RN F said when a CNA came to sit with Resident #1

1:1, his RP left for the night. She stated the purpose of the 1:1 was to prevent the resident from rolling out
of bed and to make sure he did not pull his tubes. RN F stated there was one time during her 2-10pm shift
where the 1:1 CNA reported he disconnected his g-tube, which was just a connection issue. RN F said
besides that one time, the 1:1 CNA did not report any other concerns to her during her shift. An interview
with NP G on [DATE] at 10:14 AM revealed Resident #1 admitted after she left on [DATE] and was gone the
next morning before she arrived the facility, so she never saw him. She stated she heard he was very
volatile, aggressive, and punched someone the day before at the hospital. NP G stated the morning of
[DATE], [LVN A ] updated me because she came into this scene and let me know it was too much, so we
sent him back out. NP G said she gave a verbal order to LVN A for the ER transfer. NP G stated she got the
impression from staff that Resident #1 was out of control due to agitation and confusion but she did not
have a baseline to go from. NP G stated she assumed Resident #1 was sent to the ER via ambulance. She
stated she did not know the EMTs assessed him and determined he did not have a medical emergency.
She stated, I was not aware of that. I would not think it is safe to transport him via non-emergency because
if he is actively agitated, the EMTs can handle it. That's what I thought he was doing, going out via
ambulance. NP G stated if she knew the EMTs deemed him not in a medical emergency state, she would
have ordered PRN medications at the facility to help address the behaviors. She stated she did not see his
clinicals so she did not know if he had a qualifying diagnosis to justify their use. NP G stated giving a report
to the ER when sending them a resident was important so they could know what to expect, try to prepare,
and have anticipated interventions in place if they were having issues related to cardiac distress, behavioral
emergency, and so forth. A follow up interview with the DON on [DATE] at 10:48 AM revealed she was
notified by the facility staffing coordinator on [DATE] that LVN A felt Resident #1 was being antsy and
aggressive. The DON stated she did not know until after the fact that Resident #1 had been given Haldol by
the discharging hospital during his stay due to him punching a hospital staff. She said that was not sent with
his hospital clinicals prior to admission. The DON stated, They didn't relay any of that information to us.
They didn't tell anybody; they just were like here he's yours now. The DON said she had not observed him
herself, so her decision was based on what she was told secondhand. The DON said she contacted NP G
who told her to send him out to the hospital. The DON stated 911 was called but when they came out, the
EMT did not feel like Resident #1 was having a medical emergency so they would not transport him to the
hospital. The DON stated she did not contact NP G after EMT refused the transport to update her that the
order to send out via 911 could not be done. The DON stated the information was relayed to NP G after the
resident was sent out via a private transport company. The DON stated she did not consider discussing
PRN medication options with the staff or NP because it could not be given to keep him subdued from
pulling at his lines and it walks that fine line of are you chemically restraining a patient? The DON said with
other residents in the facility with lines and pulled on them, the staff had rapport so they could more easily
calm them down. The morning Resident #1 had the behaviors, [DATE], the DON stated she did not talk with
his RP until after he was sent out in the private transport vehicle. The DON said she was under the
impression that the RP had already been notified but did not know who did the notification. The DON said
regarding sending Resident #1 to the ER via a private transport company, We felt like it was our only
option.I couldn't put him in my car and take him so that was really our only recourse to get him where he
needed to be. The DON said they knew the driver stayed with Resident #1 in the ER until he was checked
in and gave the hospital all the information they needed before he left, Which was basically his med list. The
DON said the facility did not have to supervise Resident #1 when he was taken to the ER and checked

in. She stated, Technically once they leave the building they have been discharged or transferred.We
ensure that they get to a place where they are safe, which we did, through a third party transport company
and so at that point the hospital assumed responsibility for him once he was checked in [at the front desk].
The DON further stated she could not bill for Resident #1 so she could not send a facility staff member to
sit with him since the facility would not get paid for it. An interview with the ADM on [DATE] at 11:35 AM
revealed she wondered how the overnight CNA was able to manage Resident #1's behaviors during his first
night of admission to the facility, And then all of a sudden it becomes this huge emergency the next
morning? She stated going forward, for late night admissions, the staff needed to be more informed on
what the resident's care needs were , ensure the hospital clinicals were reviewed prior to admission, and
make sure interventions were in place. An interview with the private transport company, Driver H, on [DATE]
at 11:47 AM revealed he remembered transporting Resident #1 by himself to the ER on [DATE]. He stated
he initially started driving Resident #1 to one hospital further away but was re-routed by the facility to a
closer hospital. He said when he arrived at the ER, the staff at the ER desk said to leave him there so he
transferred him to a hospital wheelchair. Driver H said while in the ER waiting area, Resident #1 was trying
to escape and could walk. He stated the ER staff were trying to talk to Resident #1 but he did not speak
any English and they were trying to figure out what language he spoke so they could use their translator.
Driver H stated he gave the ER staff the resident's face sheet, which was the only document he was given
by the facility. He stated he left the hospital at that point so he did not know what else happened. A follow up
interview with the ADM on [DATE] at 4:00 PM revealed the facility did not send a facility staff to supervise
Resident #1 because the transport company had a driver that stayed with him. The ADM stated the only
reason Resident #1 had been a 1:1 the night before was to make sure he didn't pull anything out. She
stated, He [Resident #1] didn't need a 1:1 because driver of the van was with him. While he was here in the
room, there was no one in the room so that is why we put an aide in. IF he had pulled out lines, the drivers
are CPR trained and he was told if he needed to call 911, he could, by our nursing staff. The ADM stated
the transport company said they could handle it and the company will know based on their own assessment
from what we tell them, but they also observe the resident when they arrive to make sure they are
appropriate [for transport]. The ADM stated, So they felt confident they could do it, we felt confident they
could do it. She said the facility's responsibility for resident's supervision ended when once they were
checked in at the hospital. We make sure they are there and give report and one there, they are the
hospital's concern. The ADM said she felt once the DON realized that the EMTs were not going to transport
Resident #1 due to him not having an emergency, maybe she felt it was not that serious of an issue and
could send him out non-emergent. The ADM said she felt like the level of emergency changed when the
EMTs saw Resident #1. She stated, It was not like he was in respiratory distress or about to die, so the rest
of us were thinking okay, if not emergency, then next best thing. The ADM continued to state that the facility
trusted the transport company to make sure the residents got from point A to point B. The ADM said she
herself, talked to Driver H and he told her he stayed with Resident #1 at the ER for about 15-20 minutes
until the ER staff took him to a room and she said the transport staff would never leave a patient there. The
ADM stated Driver H did not tell her Resident #2 had tried to get up, rather that he sat there with him the
whole time. A follow up interview with the DON on [DATE] at 4:20 PM revealed the reason Resident #1 was
sent to the ER without staff supervision was because his family/RP was meeting him at the hospital. The
DON did not feel that sending a staff member would have been helpful to intervene if Resident #1 had
pulled at his lines during transport because that staff would be buckled

in in front or behind, and not able to intervene if there was an emergency and the van was moving. The
DON stated again that a resident was no longer the facility's responsibility once they left the facility when
they were sent out to a higher level of care. The DON said she did not know if [Company Name] did medical
transports, but there were not normally used for emergency transportations. The DON stated a staff
member would accompany a resident to the ER on ly if that resident did not have a family member meeting
them at the hospital. She said Resident #1 did have his family member/RP in route to meet him at the ER.
