During an interview on 09/26/24 at 5:15 PM, Resident #2's RP stated the resident discharged on 09/19/24. The RP stated the facility accepted Resident #1 without her having insurance in place then later admitted it was a mistake. The RP stated once the facility realized she was unable to get approved for Medicare, they began harassing her about picking the resident up; however, she explained that she was unable to care for Resident #2 at her home. The RP stated she had multiple conversations with the SW about different facility options, but they were all too far from the family or they were group homes, which she did not feel was a good fit for the resident due to her medical condition. The RP stated she felt rushed to find placement for Resident #1 because the facility wanted her to leave quickly because they were not getting paid. The RP stated before she could decide, the SW called her one day and told her to come to the facility because they were preparing to transfer Resident #2 to a different facility.

F 0624 call to come help move the resident later that day. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview on 09/26/24 at 05:21 PM, the SW stated she worked at the facility since 08/01/24. The SW stated discharge planning starts the day a resident admits to the facility. The SW stated the residents'/RP's preferences and residents' care needs were considered when planning, and clinical notes and any changes were documented throughout the residents' stay. The SW stated she knew Resident #1 from previous facilities, and they did not have a good relationship, so she decided to work in the background and not deal directly with the resident/RP. The SW stated Resident #1 had a history of being homeless and used the local hospitals and nursing facilities as shelter. The SW stated the facility discussed discharging Resident #1 because she was refusing care and was not participating in therapy, and during the planning, the insurance issued a NOMNC. The SW stated Resident #1's RP was informed about the NOMNC and told that Resident #1 had a discharge date on 09/15/24. The SW stated Resident #1/RP gave a private residence as the discharge location, and she set up home health services at that address through an agency that Resident #1 previously used. The SW stated although Resident #1 was known to be homeless, she accepted the address provided and confirmed that it was a house through an online map search. The SW initially stated she confirmed with the home health agency that they had the same address on file, then later stated they refused to disclose the address they had on file. The SW stated Resident #1/RP refused an appeal and was okay with leaving on 09/15/24. The SW stated Resident #2/RP had been issued a 30-day notice before she started working at the facility and she was working hard with the family to find safe placement; however, the RP was not cooperating. The SW stated she offered the RP several options and she refused them. The SW stated Resident #2 had a care plan meeting on 09/19/24 and a representative from a nursing facility happened to be in the building and was invited to be a part of the meeting. The SW stated she presented that nursing facility as an option to the RP and the RP stated she was okay with it. The SW stated there were 2 other nursing facilities that accepted Resident #2 and those were also presented to the RP. Residents Affected - Some During an interview on 09/27/24 at 09:30 AM with the Administrator and the DON, the Administrator stated he had been at the facility for about 2 weeks and had not been a part of the discharge planning for Resident #1, #2, or #3. The Administrator stated the expectation for discharge planning was for the SW to remain in close contact with the residents/families to ensure involvement during the entire process. The DON stated she had only been at the facility for about 2 weeks also. The DON stated she was aware of Resident #1's situation because she was discharged on the day she started working; however, she was not involved in Resident #2's discharge and was not at the facility when Resident #3 discharged . The DON stated the facility's hope was that all residents were being truthful when providing them with the discharge addresses as they cannot demand proof or follow each resident to the locations. The DON stated each discharge process was case-by-case and if a resident was known to be homeless, she would take extra steps to ensure they were discharging to a safe location such as confirming last known address with previous providers, and she was not sure if the SW did that. The DON stated for all residents, the facility was responsible for collecting information from the residents/families to set up services to ensure clinical needs continue to be met. The DON stated the risk of not having a proper discharge planning meeting with the resident/RP could be an unsafe discharge and the resident's clinical needs not being met. During an interview on 09/27/24 at 10:48 AM, Resident #3's RP stated the resident discharged to a different skilled nursing facility on 08/26/24 due to her being dissatisfied with the care Resident #3 was receiving. The RP stated she was able to choose the new nursing facility; however, the discharge process was not good. The RP stated the SW did not communicate with her well during the process and she did not have a discharge meeting to go over transition process, medications, or other (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 676098 If continuation sheet Page 4 of 11 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 676098 B.

F 0624 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some clinical information to provide to the new facility. The RP stated because of this, there were issues with Resident #3's medication orders when they arrived. During further interview on 09/27/24 at 01:22 PM with the SW, she stated she was a part of Resident #3's discharge process. The SW stated Resident #3's RP was upset about the resident not being showered at the times she liked, so she decided to move her to a nursing facility that the RP chose herself. The SW stated she sent out the referral and the nursing facility accepted Resident #3. The SW stated Resident #3 discharged from the facility on 08/26/24 and her RP transported her to the new facility. The SW stated she was in communication with the RP and followed the facility's discharge procedures. The SW stated they don't always have a sit-down discharge meeting, but she remained in contact at least via phone or email with the families. The SW stated the risk of discharging residents without proper planning could have a negative effect on their health and psychosocial status . During an interview on 09/27/24 at 06:15 PM, Resident #1's RP stated she was informed on 09/13/24 that the resident was being discharged due to her not wanting to socialize with anyone or take her medication because she did not trust the facility. The RP was informed that Resident #1 had to leave the facility on 09/15/24. The RP stated she was offered the option to appeal but declined due to being unhappy with the care Resident #1 was receiving and how rude the staff were. The RP stated the SW did not want to have any direct contact with her or Resident #1 from previous encounters, so she received all discharge information from another staff. The RP stated she provided the facility with a discharge address; however, they ended up at a different address. The RP stated she never contacted the facility to update ethe address and she never heard anything from a home health agency. She stated Resident #1 was currently living with another family member. Review of the facility's policy title Discharge Planning Process Policy, revised 11/28/20216, revealed in part the following: Nursing facility must complete discharge planning when you anticipate discharging a resident to a private residence, another nursing facility or skilled nursing facility, or another type of residential facility.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement an effective discharge planning process that focused on a resident's discharge goals and allowed the resident to be an active partner in the transition and development of a discharge plan for 3 residents (Resident #1, Resident #2, and Resident #3) of 4 residents reviewed for discharge planning. Residents Affected - Some - The facility failed to prepare and involve Residents #1, #2, and #3 and responsible parties in an effective discharge planning process.

During an interview on 09/26/24 at 05:21 PM, the SW stated she worked at the facility since 08/01/24. The SW stated discharge planning starts the day a resident admits to the facility. The SW stated the residents'/RP's preferences and residents' care needs were considered when planning, and clinical notes and any changes were documented throughout the residents' stay. The SW stated she knew Resident #1 from previous facilities, and they did not have a good relationship, so she decided to work in the background and not deal directly with the resident/RP.

F 0660 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some of being homeless and used the local hospitals and nursing facilities as shelter. The SW stated the facility discussed discharging Resident #1 because she was refusing care and was not participating in therapy, and during the planning, the insurance issued a NOMNC. The SW stated Resident #1's RP was informed about the NOMNC and told that Resident #1 had a discharge date on 09/15/24. The SW stated Resident #1/RP gave a private residence as the discharge location, and she set up home health services at that address through an agency that Resident #1 previously used. The SW stated although Resident #1 was known to be homeless, she accepted the address provided and confirmed that it was a house through an online map search. The SW initially stated she confirmed with the home health agency that they had the same address on file, then later stated they refused to disclose the address they had on file. The SW stated Resident #1/RP refused an appeal and was okay with leaving on 09/15/24. The SW stated Resident #2/RP had been issued a 30-day notice before she started working at the facility and she was working hard with the family to find safe placement; however, the RP was not cooperating. The SW stated she offered the RP several options and she refused them. The SW stated Resident #2 had a care plan meeting on 09/19/24 and a representative from a nursing facility happened to be in the building and was invited to be a part of the meeting. The SW stated she presented that nursing facility as an option to the RP and the RP stated she was okay with it. The SW stated there were 2 other nursing facilities that accepted Resident #2 and those were also presented to the RP. During an interview on 09/27/24 at 09:30 AM with the Administrator and the DON, the Administrator stated he had been at the facility for about 2 weeks and had not been a part of the discharge planning for Resident #1, #2, or #3. The Administrator stated the expectation for discharge planning was for the SW to remain in close contact with the residents/families to ensure involvement during the entire process. The DON stated she had only been at the facility for about 2 weeks also. The DON stated she was aware of Resident #1's situation because she was discharged on the day she started working; however, she was not involved in Resident #2's discharge and was not at the facility when Resident #3 discharged . The DON stated the facility's hope was that all residents were being truthful when providing them with the discharge addresses as they cannot demand proof or follow each resident to the locations. The DON stated each discharge process was case-by-case and if a resident was known to be homeless, she would take extra steps to ensure they were discharging to a safe location such as confirming last known address with previous providers, and she was not sure if the SW did that. The DON stated for all residents, the facility was responsible for collecting information from the residents/families to set up services to ensure clinical needs continue to be met. The DON stated the risk of not having a proper discharge planning meeting with the resident/RP could be an unsafe discharge and the resident's clinical needs not being met. During an interview on 09/27/24 at 10:48 AM, Resident #3's RP stated the resident discharged to a different skilled nursing facility on 08/26/24 due to her being dissatisfied with the care Resident #3 was receiving. The RP stated she was able to choose the new nursing facility; however, the discharge process was not good. The RP stated the SW did not communicate with her well during the process and she did not have a discharge meeting to go over transition process, medications, or other clinical information to provide to the new facility. The RP stated because of this, there were issues with Resident #3's medication orders when they arrived. During further interview on 09/27/24 at 01:22 PM with the SW, she stated she was a part of Resident #3's discharge process. The SW stated Resident #3's RP was upset about the resident not being showered at the times she liked, so she decided to move her to a nursing facility that the RP chose herself. The SW stated she sent out the referral and the nursing facility accepted Resident #3. The SW stated Resident #3 discharged from the facility on 08/26/24 and her RP transported her to the new (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 676098 If continuation sheet Page 10 of 11 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 676098 B.

The RP stated she was offered the option to appeal but declined due to being unhappy with the care Resident #1 was receiving and how rude the staff were.
