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 permit each resident to remain in the facility, and not
transfer or discharge the resident from the facility unless the transfer or discharge was necessary for the
resident's welfare and the resident's needs could not be met in the facility; the safety of individuals in the
facility was endangered due to the clinical or behavioral status of the resident; the health of individuals in
the facility would otherwise be endangered; and failed to develop and implement an effective discharge
planning process that focused on the resident's discharge goals, the preparation of residents to be active
partners and effectively transition them to post-discharge care, and the reduction of factors leading to
preventable readmissions for one of five residents (Resident #1) reviewed for transfers and discharges. 1)
The facility failed to ensure when Resident #1 was issued a 30-day discharge notice, on 12/12/25, citing
behavioral issues, the clinical documentation contained clear evidence which documented the resident's
needs could not be met in the facility and posed a danger that could not be managed through care planning
or IDT intervention.2) The facility failed to ensure a safe and orderly transfer and discharge process when
they sent Resident #1 to a behavioral hospital through an order of protective custody (OPC) and then
refused to readmit Resident #1 following the inpatient psychiatric stabilization when he was stable.These
failures could place residents at risk for inappropriate discharge, prolonged institutionalization and
disruption of continuity of care. Findings include:Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS
Assessment, dated 12/01/25, reflected a [AGE] year old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Resident #1 had active diagnoses which included Parkinsonism (a neurological syndrome characterized by
motor symptoms like tremor, slowness, rigidity and postural instability), seizure disorder (chronic
neurological condition characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures caused by sudden, abnormal
electrical surges in the brain), anxiety (excessive fear, worry, and physical symptoms like rapid heart rate,
dizziness, and restlessness that interfere with daily life), depression (a common, serious mood disorder
characterized by persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, fatigue, and physical pain) and
schizophrenia (a chronic, severe brain disorder characterized by a detachment from reality through
hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking). Resident #1 had a BIMS score of 03, which indicated
severe cognitive impairment. Resident #1 had fluctuating signs and symptoms of delirium which included
inattention and disorganized thinking. He had symptoms of feeling depressed and little interest noted as a
mood issue. Resident #1 was noted to feel sometimes isolated around those around him. Resident #1 had
no potential indicators of psychosis and no behavioral symptoms of physical or verbal aggression. Resident
#1 had no rejection of care issues and no wandering behaviors. Resident #1 was ambulatory, did not use a
mobility aide and had no range of motion issues. For walking 10-150 feet, Resident #1 required supervision
or touching assistance. Resident #1 was administered the following high-risk medications during the
assessment period: an

two weeks for a follow-up visit. A follow up visit by the PMHNP on 01/14/26 reflected Resident #1 was seen
for a medication management visit. The assessment reflected, Collateral Information: According to staff, the
residents [sic] an improvement in sx of anxiety, agitation and psychosis. Resident recently pushed a fellow
resident without any apparent provocation and is currently on 1:1 monitoring. An increase of 0.5mg added
of Risperdal daily had been added on 01/12/26. No other changes were recommended. The PMHNP
documented she would revisit with Resident #1 to re-assess. Record review of Resident #1's social worker
progress notes from 12/01/25 through 02/04/26 reflected the facility issued a 30-day discharge notice due
to behavioral concerns on . The ombudsman was notified the same day via email and fax. The RP was
informed and the appeal process was explained and a copy of the discharge notice was sent to the RP. On
12/16/25, the SW documented continued communication with the RP and efforts to secure alternate
placement, including exploration of nursing home and group home options. On 01/12/26, the SW
documented Resident #1 continued to refuse medications, became and exhibited screaming and yelling
behaviors. EMS responded and Resident #1 was subsequently approved for a transfer to a behavioral
hospital via an Order of Protective Custody (OPC), with a court appearance on 01/14/26 which was
approved and the RP notified regarding the transfer. The SW progress notes, dated 01/21/26 through
02/06/26, reflected ongoing communication between the facility, the behavioral hospital and an external
placement coordinator regarding discharge planning to a group home. Subsequent entries reflected
confusion regarding discharge timing, coordination with the behavioral hospital and whether the group
home was prepared to receive the resident at the time of discharge. Notes further reflected at one point,
Resident #1 was discharged from the hospital without a clear confirmation that placement arrangements
were finalized. On 02/02/26, a SW progress note reflected, I received a call from the patient's [RP], who
reported that both the state and the ombudsman have been contacted due to concerns of abandonment. I
clarified to her that, to my knowledge, the patient was in the process of transitioning to a group home, and
that I had been working closely with the group home in this regard. The [family member] stated that she is
no longer able to provide care for the patient and insisted that we need to take responsibility for him. I
expressed concern to her regarding the patient's recent behavior, specifically the risk associated with the
patient having physically assaulted another individual. I informed her that, given the current circumstances,
the risk to other patients here is considered high.Record review of Resident #1's nursing progress notes
from 12/01/26 through 02/04/26 reflected periodic behavioral concerns including medication refusals,
yelling, wandering into other residents' rooms, verbal altercations and two documented physical incidents.
On 12/26/25, Resident #1 was documented as deliberately bumping into the maintenance director with his
shoulder and was placed on 1:1 observation. On 01/12/26, Resident #1 pushed another resident and was
again placed on 1:1 monitoring. The PMHNP was notified after the incident on 01/12/26 and his dose of
Seroquel (antipsychotic) was increased to 0.5 mg added in the morning. Resident #1 was subsequently
transferred for inpatient psychiatric evaluation on 01/14/26. The nursing progress notes did not reflect the
evaluation of increased anti-psychotic medication's effectiveness on Resident #1's behaviors or that
identified behavioral interventions had been exhausted or determined ineffective.Review of TULIP database
reflected no facility reported incidents related to Resident #1 and resident to resident abuse for the
01/12/26 incident pf physical aggression.An interview with Resident #1's RP on 02/04/26 at 10:05 AM
revealed Resident #1 was currently at the behavioral hospital and had been there since 01/14/26. The RP

medication in him. The RP stated the behavioral hospital confirmed he hit a patient but did not jump on him
(meaning he did not physically attack him). The RP stated she did not know why Resident #2 was sent to
the behavioral hospital and only found out when someone from the hospital called her. She stated the
facility did not tell her they were sending him there but stated her voice mail had been full. The RP stated
she did not know what Resident #1 had done that warranted him having to be sent out but was told the
resident was hearing things and needed to be evaluated. She stated while at the facility, there had been
times when Resident #1 did not want to take his medication and she felt maybe he had become immune to
his medications and was acting out. The RP stated she did not know anything about a group home
placement. She stated, All I know is [nursing facility] referred him; you have to talk to [nursing facility] about
that. The nursing home makes the decisions for [Resident #1] and they get paid to take care of him. She did
not know that the behavioral hospital had tried to arrange transportation to take Resident #1 to a group
home. She said she thought the behavioral hospital tried to take Resident #1 back to the facility and they
refused him. The RP stated she could not take care of Resident #1 as she worked full time. She stated she
felt like the facility had abandoned him by dropping him off at a behavioral hospital and telling him he was
not allowed to come back. She stated Resident #1 was not cognitively able to agree to anything and she
herself did not sign any documentation agreeing to any transfers or discharged . She stated she did not
know anything about the facility's acquisition of an Order of Protective Custody for Resident #1. An
interview with the SW on 02/03/26 at 12:50 PM revealed she had been employed at the facility for about
two months and Resident #1 was already living at the facility when she started and was not initially
identified as a concern. According to the SW, the resident did not immediately stand out to her, but
concerns developed approximately a month later as she began interacting with him more directly. She
described her early interactions with Resident #1 as troubling and stated she felt afraid of him from the
beginning of those encounters. The SW stated Resident #1's demeanor alone felt threatening, even in the
absence of overt verbal aggression. She stated he did not need to speak or act out physically to cause
concern and said his presence, posture and eye contact was intimidating. She stated he spent much of his
time in bed and was often withdrawn but when he became active, staff were immediately aware. The SW
stated Resident #1 began walking the halls and entering other residents' rooms, sometimes standing over
them while they were in bed. She stated this behavior caused fear among residents and staff and concerns
were raised about the safety of other residents, particularly those who were vulnerable or cognitively
impaired. The SW stated staff reported feeling uneasy and residents expressed fear when Resident #1 was
mobile and roaming the halls. She stated the behaviors escalated to the point that 911 was called. She
reported Resident #1 initially agreed to go to the hospital, but once outside the facility with EMS, he refused
transport and EMS did not take him. The SW described the concerns prompting the call to 911 as
behavioral rather than medical. Following these events, the SW stated she was instructed to seek alternate
placement for Resident #1 due to the ongoing behaviors and safety concerns. She stated she made
extensive efforts to secure a placement for him, contacting at least 15 nursing facilities, all of which
declined and consistently indicated to her Resident #1's behaviors and refusal to take medications as
reasons for denial. The SW stated she also attempted to pursue group home placement and worked with a
group home contact. The SW said she kept Resident #1's RP informed throughout the process. The SW
stated the RP acknowledged she could not care for the Resident #1 herself and did not mind the SW
looking for alternate placements. The SW stated after discussions with the ADM, a 30-day discharge notice
was issued on 12/12/25 while placement efforts continued. She reported due to escalating behaviors, an
Order of Protective Custody (OPC) was obtained

and Resident #1 was transferred to a behavioral health facility. Following the transfer, the SW stated there
were significant communication problems with the behavioral hospital. She stated she attempted repeatedly
to contact hospital staff for updates regarding Resident #1's condition, medications and discharge planning
but did not receive return calls. She said she was initially told Resident #1 was stable but later informed that
he had allegedly assaulted another resident described as an elderly male. She stated details of the incident
were unclear. The SW also stated she received conflicting information regarding whether Resident #1 had
been transferred to a group home, returned to the behavioral hospital or discharged to his family member.
She described the situation as confusing and difficult to track. The SW reported Resident #1's RP later
contacted her and accused the facility of abandoning the resident and believed the facility should accept
Resident #1 back. The SW stated the final decision not to accept Resident #1 back was made by the ADM.
The SW stated there were ongoing safety concerns with Resident #1's behaviors, refusal to take
medications and there was a lack of clinical documentation from the behavioral hospital regarding
medication changes and condition at discharge or readiness to return. She stated no discharge paperwork
or medication information was received from the behavioral hospital. An interview with ADON A on
02/03/26 at 2:06 PM revealed Resident #1 had behavioral issues related to mental illness such as
paranoia, verbal outbursts, misinterpreting conversations as being about him, standing in residents'
doorways and causing fear among some of the residents. ADON A stated she was aware of reports that
Resident #1 attempted to strike another resident, though she did not personally witness any physical
contact. ADON A stated the facility managed residents with serious mental illness through psychology and
psychiatry services, including regular visits and medication management. She reported one-to-one
supervision was implemented when a resident exhibited aggression or posed a safety risk. ADON A stated
she was not involved in discussions regarding Resident #1's transfer to a behavioral hospital, the Order of
Protective Custody or decisions regarding readmission or discharge. She stated those decisions were
primarily handled by the DON and ADM and her involvement was limited. An interview with LVN D on
02/03/26 at 2:35 PM revealed she was familiar with Resident #1's baseline behavioral patterns and
described him as cyclical with long periods of stability followed by periodic behaviors but occurring months
apart. According to LVN D, early indicators of behavioral decline for Resident #1 included refusal of
medications and increased verbal fixation on perceived accusations related to his sexual orientation. LVN D
reported during these cycles, Resident #1 appeared to experience auditory hallucinations, often triggered
by male voices, leading to defensive verbal outbursts. She stated while she could not speak for other shifts,
she was personally able to redirect him and consistently get him to take his medication by giving one on
one time and patience. LVN D stated she had not personally observed Resident #1 physically strike other
residents or hit walls but was aware of reports he had attempted to hit another resident. She recalled
personally observing him shoulder-bump a maintenance staff member without clear provocation. LVN D
stated while Resident #1 was generally redirectable during her shift, she heard reports he stood in
residents' doorways on other shifts, which caused fear among residents. LVN D if staff were unfamiliar with
Resident #1 and did not understand his behaviors and de-escalation techniques that worked for him and
his triggers, they might feel hesitant to intervene during those episodes. LVN D stated, If staff are afraid to
step in, that's when things can escalate. She stated patience was the only thing that worked for him. LVN D
stated she was not involved in management-level decisions regarding Resident #1's transfer, Order of
Protective Custody or readmission decisions and was unaware of the criteria used to determine whether a
resident could return to the facility. She stated those decisions were handled by management staff.An

revealed Resident #1 was generally quiet and tended to remain in his room for much of the day. She stated
for the majority of the time, Resident #1 was not highly social and did not regularly interact with other
residents. When he did leave his room, it was typically to request coffee or to shower. She stated Resident
#1 exhibited intermittent behavioral issues that were not constant or daily but occurred approximately once
or twice per week. She described his primary behavioral concern as verbal outbursts related to paranoia,
particularly believing that others were calling him derogatory names. CNA C stated these beliefs appeared
to be internal to the resident and were not typically triggered by other residents or staff. CNA C stated when
Resident #1 became agitated, he would sometimes verbalize his beliefs loudly, stating others were calling
him names, even when staff attempted to reassure him no such comments had been made. She stated
Resident #1 often could not be redirected once he became fixed on these beliefs. CNA C stated she had
not heard of or seen Resident #1 entering other residents' rooms, standing over residents or intentionally
frightening other residents during her shifts. She was not aware of any residents reporting fear of Resident
#1 and indicated most concerns among staff related to unpredictability rather than ongoing aggression. She
stated Resident #1 sometimes refused medications, particularly during periods of agitation. She stated
certain staff members were more successful than others in encouraging compliance and de-escalation was
commonly used. These strategies included offering coffee and redirecting Resident #1 or involving staff
members with whom he was more familiar. CNA D stated that approaches to managing Resident #1's
behaviors were not always consistent among facility staff and responses to him varied depending on the
situation and staff working at the time. CNA D stated frontline staff were not always informed in advance of
significant changes related to residents with behavioral concerns. She stated she was aware Resident #1
would be moved out of the facility but did not recall being provided advance details regarding the timing or
destination. She indicated staff often learned residents had been transferred only after returning to work.
CNA D stated she was not present on the day Resident #1 was transferred under an Order of Protective
Custody and was not aware it had occurred until she came to work. She stated she did not receive detailed
information regarding Resident #1's circumstances or subsequent discharge planning.An interview with the
COO and C-RN on 02/03/26 at 3:10 PM revealed inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations were a stabilization
attempt, not necessarily a permanent removal. The COO stated even when the behavioral hospital
determined a resident was at baseline, that baseline may still be unsafe within the long-term care
environment. The COO and C-RN stated decisions not to accept a resident back should involve facility
leadership. If the facility determined a resident could not return, they stated the facility would then be
responsible for assisting with alternate placement. The COO and C-RN stated their understanding was that
group home placement had been arranged for Resident #1 from the behavioral hospital. An interview with
the ADM on 02/04/26 at 12:15 PM revealed the concern that led to Resident #1 being issued a discharge
notice on 12/12/25 was the ADM had heard some of the female residents had woken up and noticed
Resident #2 was standing in their doorways saying he was not gay and to get off him, but he never touched
any of them. The ADM stated, He [Resident #1] would say that he would never hit a woman and when I was
there, he didn't. But residents became scared because he started changing and pacing the halls, which was
normal, but he started saying he was not gay and he was no faggot. The ADM stated he knew Resident #1
had a stay in the penitentiary, so he did not know if maybe that contributed to his behavior. He stated
everything with Resident #1 was manageable at first, the facility knew how to deal with him, did the right
interventions psyche services. The ADM stated everything was good until Resident #1 started getting more
into the staff's faces. The ADM felt it got to the point where he felt Resident #1 was acting more threatening

was getting closer to hitting someone. The ADM stated he had been an administrator for over ten years and
I know eventually he was going to go over the top and we could not afford another resident-to-resident
altercation again, so he had to go to a facility that could suit his needs. So we sent him to [behavioral
hospital]. The ADM said he heard from the SW, Resident #1 had assaulted a staff member at the psyche
hospital and they changed his medications, but they were not working. The ADM stated, He assaulted
someone there and I said I would not let him stay at the facility because he was noncompliant with his
meds at the psyche hospital. The ADM further stated, So I said we can't take him back. He didn't get the
help he needed. They (behavioral hospital staff) wanted him to come back to the facility, they were telling us
the time was up and they couldn't do anything with him. The ADM stated the facility SW talked to Resident
#1's RP and found a group home that would accept him. Then the behavioral hospital dropped him off at
the group home, but no one was there and neither the facility nor behavioral hospital coordinated with the
group home about him coming. The ADM stated he heard the behavioral hospital said they were going to
call in a complaint to HHSC because the facility was not taking Resident #1 back. The ADM stated, We said
no need because we are actively working with you to get placement. We did everything we were supposed
to do. He stated the SW found the group home and he thought Resident #1's RP knew the group home and
wanted to be involved in the process, but when the time came for him to discharge from the psyche
hospital, the RP did not want to take him there and took him home instead. The ADM stated, I may be
confused, but I am pretty sure she said she would take him with her. The ADM stated he was under the
impression Resident #1 was at home with his RP and We did not hear anything else about it. The ADM
stated the first priority was to make sure residents felt safe and he did not feel the facility was equipped to
take care of residents like Resident #1. The ADM stated, When you take a person who at any time could be
a danger to any resident or staff member, they are going to cause you issues and headaches from day one
and they will hurt someone and I can't afford that. The ADM stated the Order of Protective Custody was
obtained by the facility because, We needed him out as soon as possible, any minute he was going to do
something. The ADM said Resident #1 would not agree to go to a psyche hospital on his own and his RP
did not want him to go either and wanted him to stay at the facility. The ADM did not know if the facility
obtained updated clinicals for Resident #1 since his admission to the behavioral hospital for evaluation. He
stated the facility typically did not send residents for inpatient psychiatric hospitalization that they were not
planning on re-admitting. The ADM stated, We will not throw them away or walk away, we will help them find
a placement. We are good with that due to the connections we have of knowing people all over. We are not
going to make an unsafe discharge. He said Resident #1 needed psychiatric help.because we can't help
him if [psyche hospital] cannot settle him down.An interview with the Director of Clinical Services/LCSW
from the inpatient psychiatric hospital on [DATE] at 11:47 AM revealed Resident #1 was admitted on [DATE]
due to hearing voices and becoming agitated when the voices would call him gay. The DCS stated the
facility told her due to Resident #1's aggression at their facility, they had issued him a 30-day discharge
notice and on the date of the discharge, they found a group home that would take him but when the group
home placement agency came to the inpatient behavioral hospital to take Resident #1 to the group home, it
was not in existence. Since Resident #1 was at the inpatient hospital, he became aggressive on 01/16/26
and 01/22/26. He was treated and an attempted discharge was attempted on 01/29/26, which the DCS
stated was seven days without incident, which was standard for an inpatient stabilization. The DCS stated
Resident #1 had not been violent since 01/22/26, But due to this placement issue, the patient started being
inconsistent with his medications as he was upset the nursing home still has all of his belongings and is not
allowing him

back. This has been very triggering for the patient and has caused setbacks in his treatment. As a facility,
we would require at least 72 hours of medication compliance prior to discharge to assure stabilization. She
stated Resident #1 had been stable and had not had any additional outbursts and a discharge location was
still pending. The DCS stated it was her understanding their social worker had spoken with the facility's SW
and it was understood the facility would be accepting Resident #1 back until the facility could locate a
placement, as his 30-day discharge notice was not up until 02/10/26 per her understanding. The DCS
stated, In the case of the nursing home, since the patient was still legally their resident, they should be
responsible for locating placement as we (nursing facility) were not a long-term facility and the patient's 30
day was not up. It appears they started this process, sent him to us, then stopped assisting the patient's
family member once he was in our (nursing facility) care. Although the group home placement agency
stated they were working with [facility SW], [facility SW] informed me on 1/29/2026 that she ‘had not set up
a group home for the patient', indicating they did not attempt to locate safe placement for their patient from
1/10/2026 when the 30 day was issued until his admission here on 1/14/2026. The DCS stated the facility
told the inpatient behavioral hospital staff they would not accept him back. She said her social worker was
in contact with the facility and if she would have known, she would have been attempting to locate
placement had she been told he was not accepted back. She said per the group home placement agency,
who showed up to the behavioral hospital, on Resident #1's date of discharge, the group home was ready.
The DCS stated, Then when we sent the patient there, the group home was a vacant home. The patient
was brought back to my facility, [behavioral hospital SW] could not explain why the group home she came
to divert the patient to was empty, and [facility SW] reports she didn't set up a group home. The patient's
[family member] then called us (She had not responded to any contacts prior to this) and said the group
home would be ready Saturday, 1/30, and agreed to pick the patient up. On Saturday, she refused and
stated the group home won't be ready until March. The DCS stated similar situations had occurred with the
facility where they would send residents and then decline to take them back. She stated there was no
discharge planning assistance provided by the nursing home despite issuing 30-day notices. The DCS
stated she felt the facility issued a 30-day notice to Resident #1 and did not do any discharge planning for
him and sent him to an inpatient behavioral hospital for them to take on responsibility for him. She stated
there was currently no clear plan for Resident #1's discharge, but
