Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Provide timely notification to the resident, and if applicable to the resident representative and ombudsman,
before transfer or discharge, including appeal rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to send a copy of the notice of transfer or discharge and the
reasons for the transfer or discharge in writing to the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman for
one (Resident #1) of two residents reviewed for transfer and discharge.
The facility failed to send a transfer or discharge notice in writing to the facility's Ombudsman as soon as
practicable when Resident #1 was discharged home on 7/14/23.
This failure could affect residents at the facility by placing them at risk of being discharged and not having
access to available advocacy services, discharge/transfer options, and the appeal processes.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's electronic face sheet, dated 10/31/23 revealed she was a [AGE] year-old
female, admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include fracture of unspecified part of neck,
Depressive Disorder, and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Review of Resident #1's progress notes dated 7/14/23 indicated Resident #1 discharged home with her
prescriptions and personal items. Resident #1's family member was at the facility to assist with the
discharge and transport he resident home. The resident was in stable condition at time of discharge.
Electronic communication via email dated 11/1/23 Ombudsman wrote: The Ombudsman Program has not
received any 30-day discharge notices since 3.21.2022 and has not received transfer/discharge reports
since 6.7.2023, from the facility.
During an interview on 11/1/23 at 3:15 PM the ADMIN stated the social worker should be the one that
handles all discharges and documentation even with the Ombudsman. She stated a spreadsheet of all
residents who were transferred out of the facility should be kept and emailed to the Ombudsman monthly.
During an interview on 10/26/2022 at 2:25 the SW stated that for long term care discharges there was
30-day notice but if they were only in the facility for skilled care then it could be up to 48 hours. He stated
that he did not know he needed to contact the Ombudsman of all transfers and discharges.
