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 implement its policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Bed-Holds (when a nursing home holds [reserve] a bed for seven (7) days) when the resident goes to the hospital) and Returns, by failing to hold the sub-acute bed (specialized unit of the facility providing care and services to residents with tracheostomy [surgical opening in the neck area for breathing]) for 7 days, when one of four residents' (Resident 1), was sent to the General Acute Care Hospital (GACH 1). This failure resulted in Resident 1 not re-admitted back to the facility within the 7-day bed-hold period.

The DON stated Resident 1's new room assignment (room [ROOM NUMBER]B, skilled nursing side) was not equipped to accommodate Resident 1's medical needs. The DON stated Resident 1 who had a tracheostomy, was not readmitted back to the facility because the bed held was on the skilled nursing side and could not accommodate the resident's medical needs. The DON stated Resident 1 was not provided an appropriate bed-hold. The DON stated Resident 1's bed held while in GACH 1 should have not been moved to another room (room [ROOM NUMBER]B, skilled nursing side). During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Bed-Holds and Returns, dated 10/2022, the P&P indicated residents who seek to return to the facility within the bed-hold period must be allowed back to their room, if available, regardless of payor source or outstanding debt.
