What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 1 deficiency. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0660 Plan the resident's discharge to meet the resident's goals and needs. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to develop and implement an effective discharge planning process that focused on the resident's discharge goals, the preparation of residents to be active partners and effectively transition them to post-discharge care, and the reduction of factors leading to preventable readmissions for 1 of 3 residents (Resident # 1) reviewed for discharge planning. Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to develop and implement a discharge plan after Resident #1 requested to be discharged to another facility. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving a discharge plan prior to their discharge which could lengthen their stay at the facility. Findings include: Record review of Resident #1's, undated, face sheet reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnosis included quadriplegia (paralysis of arms and legs). Record review of Resident #1's, undated, care plan reflected no care plans related to discharge. Record review of Resident #1's progress notes reflected the following: 11/02/22 at 9:32 AM Resident wants to be discharged to a different nursing home. I sent the referral, and they quickly denied him. The reason is he is going to be a problem for our facility. - written by Discharge Planner 11/03/22 at 11:37 AM I spoke with the resident, and he feels that he is being held here at the facility against his will. He stated that his previous facility lied to him about where he was going, he thought he was going to a different nursing facility. I informed him that the other facility denied him. He became very upset. I told him not to worry, that I am trying to find him a place soon just give me a second. - written by Discharge Planner 11/09/22 at 9:06 AM (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.

Resident does want to leave but does not want to leave AMA and it be added to his record. Resident feels that he is not being properly cared for. I assured resident that I am doing daily referrals to all the different facilities in the area as he requested, but we cannot force them (other facilities) to accept him. A list of all referrals were given to him. - written by the Discharge Planner Interviews with Resident #1 on 05/16/23 at 10:40 AM and 3:50 PM revealed Resident #1 wanted to be discharged from the facility. He said he was told referrals were sent to other facilities and he was told they would not take him because he would report them to the state. He said he wanted to move to a facility closer to his family. He said he had spoken to four facilities who said they would take him, but then changed their mind and did not accept him. He said he did not know why. He said the current facility made him look bad to other potential facilities. The resident said a relocation specialist from an insurance company had contacted him about getting an apartment but did not contact him again. He said the facility said they sent out referrals. He said the facility had not discussed any type of discharge plan with him and he wanted to leave the facility as soon as possible.

She said she did not have proof of sending the referral or the facility's response. She said all of the facilities refused to accept the resident. An interview on 05/16/23 at 3:45 PM with the Administrator revealed she was new to the facility. She said the Discharge Planner was in charge of the discharge process for the resident.
