F 0620 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 observation, interview, and record review, for one (Resident 1) of three residents, the facility failed to admit Resident 1 to the facility when a bed was not made readily available for an arranged admission on [DATE]. The facility's failure to make a bed readily available for a pre-arranged admission resulted in a denial of Resident 1's entry and admission on [DATE]. Findings: On August 9, 2023, at 9:30 a.m., an unannounced visit was conducted to investigate an issue regarding Admission, Transfer and Discharge Rights. On August 9, 2023, at 9:30 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) and Administrator (ADM) were interviewed. The DON indicated that Resident 1was denied admission into the facility on July 20, 2023, when he showed up positive for COVID -19 infection on a spot testing conducted upon arrival to the facility. The DON indicated they do not have a bed available to quarantine (isolation precaution purposes) the resident to prevent spread of infection. DON was unable to provide for documented evidence the hospital was informed of the need for COVID testing prior to Resident 1's entry in the facility. On August 22, 2023, at 12:30 p.m., a concurrent interview and record review was conducted with the Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN). IPN stated that on July 20, 2023, they have not given the hospital prior notice to do COVID Testing on the resident before he was sent to the facility. IPN stated positive COVID -19 infection does not disqualify a resident for admission into the facility. IPN stated she made the call that day to send the resident back to the hospital because she did not believe they have a room available for isolation in the facility. IPN stated bed capacity was 54, and census that day was 40. IPN stated there should be 14 beds readily available for incoming resident admission that day but she was not aware that rooms [ROOM NUMBER] were not officially suspended for resident use. IPN stated the staff in the facility were trained and are capable to handle COVID -19 positive residents. The IPN indicated they should have made bed available for immediate occupancy on July 20, 2023. On August 22, 2023, at 1 p.m., the ADM was interviewed. The ADM verified they have 54 certified beds in the facility for occupancy.
