interview and record review, the facility failed to readmit one of two sampled residents (Resident 1) to the
first available bed at the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) as indicated in the facility policy.
This deficient practice resulted in the violation of Resident 1's rights to resume residency at the facility.
Findings:

[DATE] with the diagnoses that included Parkinson's Disease (a brain disorder that causes unintended or
uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination),
hyperlipidemia (elevated level of lipids-like cholesterol and triglycerides in blood).
During a review of Resident 1's History and Present Illness (H&P- the most formal and complete
assessment of the patient and the problem), dated 3/25/2023, the H&P indicated Resident 1 does not have
decision making capacities.
During a review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS- a comprehensive standardized assessment and screening
tool), dated 3/1/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 1's brief interview for mental status (BIMS- standard
cognitive assessment scores 00-15) score of 7 indicated Resident 1 had severe cognitive impairment
(ability to understand and process information).
During a review of Resident 1's Physician Order, dated 4/2/2024, at 8:19 p.m., the Order Details indicated
Transfer to General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) for further evaluation d/t (due to) resident's refusal of all

Resident 1.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview on 4/10/2024 at 12 p.m., with FCM, FCM stated on 4/4/2024, I received a call from the
GACH social work department, and I informed them there was no bed hold for Resident 1.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 4/10/2024 at 1 p.m., with the GACH social worker (GSW), the GSW stated GCM
placed a call to the SNF and spoke to the FCM on 4/5/2024 at 1:57 p.m., the notes indicate the FCM stated
Resident 1 would not be accepted back to the SNF.
During an interview on 4/10/2024 at 2:20 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated we
should not refuse admission to residents returning from the GACH, the only way we are unable to admit the
Resident back to the SNF from the GACH is if a resident has a higher acuity of care (their condition is
severe and imminently dangerous) and if we are unable to meet those standards, or if the resident is a
threat to self or others. Resident 1 should have been re-admitted to the SNF.
During an interview on 4/10/2024 at 3 p.m., with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated,
FCM should not have refused the re-admission of Resident 1 to the SNF. The SNF should not refuse
admission to Residents returning from the GACH, unless we are unable to care for their needs or the
Resident is a threat to self or other.
During an interview on 4/10/2024 at 4:00 p.m., with the Administrator, the Administrator stated when the
GACH social worker manager (GSWM) from the GACH called me I agreed with her and informed FCM to
call the GACH and accept Resident 1.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Bed-Holds and Returns, dated March
2017, indicated prior to transfers and therapeutic leaves, residents or resident representatives will be
informed in writing of the bed-hold and return policy. The resident will be permitted to return to an available
bed in the location of the facility that he or she previously resided. If there is not an available bed in that
part, the resident will be given the option to take an available bed in another distinct part of the facility and
return to the distinct part when a bed becomes available.
