F 0626 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Permit a resident to return to the nursing home after hospitalization or therapeutic leave that exceeds bed-hold policy. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on 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: During a review of the admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [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 oral intake. During a review of the progress notes dated 4/2/2024 at 8:27 p.m., the progress notes indicated ambulance seen picking up Resident 1. During a review of Resident 1's GACH Care Manager (GCM) Notes, dated 4/5/2024, at 3:43 p.m., the multiple access transponder (MAT) health care information system (HCIS) indicated the GCM placed a call to the SNF, and spoke to the facility case manager (FCM) who stated Resident 1 will not be accepted back to the SNF. During an interview on 4/10/2024 at 11:45 a.m., with the Administrator, the Administrator stated on 4/5/2024 Resident 1 was ready to return to the facility from the GACH and our FCM did not accept (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0626 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.
