he was responsible for facilitating a residents return to the facility after a hospitalization. The AC stated
Resident 1 was transferred to the GACH on 4/8/2025. The AC stated he could not recall if he spoke to a
case manager at the GACH where Resident 1 was located. The AC stated Resident 1 was denied
readmission to the facility by their regional marketer due to a change in Resident 1 ' s insurance. The AC
stated the risk of denying readmission to a resident could result in a resident ' s rights violation and being
reported by the hospital.
During an interview, on 5/29/2025, at 10:10 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
protocol for readmitting a resident required her (the DON) to be informed if a resident was to be readmitted
to the facility by the admission Coordinator. The DON stated she was not aware of Resident 1 being denied
of readmission to the facility. The DON stated the facility ' s regional marketer did not have the authority to
deny a resident ' s return to the facility. The DON stated the risk of not denying a resident ' s return to the
facility could result in a placement issue as the resident wouldn ' t be able to return to their home which is
the facility, a placement issue. The DON stated, I did not know the hospital called to return the resident to
the facility.
During a review of the facility ' s policy and procedures (P&P), titled Readmission, revised 10/2013, the
P&P indicated The Facility will allow residents who were previously residents of the Facility to be readmitted
to the Facility.
