The facility failed to ensure that the discharge destination and continuing care provider could meet the resident's needs prior to the discharge.Resident #1 was discharged on 09/29/25 without ensuring the provider could meet the residents' needs. This failure placed residents at risk of not getting the necessary care and services to meet physical and psychological needs. A record review of Resident #1's admission record dated 11/20/2025 revealed an [AGE] year-old male admitted [DATE] with diagnoses which included muscle wasting and atrophy (the loss of muscle mass and strength), other abnormalities of gait and mobility (the specific way a person walks and moves), muscle weakness (the loss of strength in one or more muscles), and dementia (a decline in memory). A record review of Resident #1's quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] reflected Resident #1 had a BIMS score of zero which could not be assessed which indicated a severe cognitive impairment. During an interview on 11/18/25 at 1:12pm, the Social Worker revealed Resident #1 was considered for transfer for an evaluation due to aggressive behaviors. The Social Worker stated it was her responsibility to submit clinicals for approval to the receiving provider. She stated on 9/29/25, a referral was sent to a behavioral hospital for review to admit Resident #1. She stated when she left for the day on 9/29/25, Resident #1 was not accepted yet. She stated she was informed in the morning meeting on 9/30/25, Resident #1 was transferred to a medical center instead. She stated the DON solely facilitated the transfer to the medical center for Resident #1. During an interview on 11/18/2025 at 12:37pm, the ADON stated the resident was transferred to a medical center 9/30/25 but was transferred back to the facility a few hours later. She stated the medical center was unaware why Resident #1 was transported there. She stated she informed the medical center Resident #1 was transported due to uncontrolled aggressive behaviors including kicking, biting, hitting, and threatening staff. During an interview on 11/20/2025 at 11:00am, the Clinical Services Director revealed a referral was sent on behalf of Resident #1 to the medical center, 09/30/25, but confirmation of acceptance was not received. He stated Resident #1 was transported anyway which was not according to policy. He stated once Resident #1 arrived, the staff at the receiving medical center was unaware why Resident #1 was there. He stated the ADON informed the medical center Resident #1 needed psychiatric services. He stated since the psychiatric team at the medical center was not aware prior to transfer, Resident #1 was transported back to the facility. He stated the DON should have waited for acceptance before transferring Resident #1. He stated the importance of acceptance before transfer was to avoid confusion and ensure residents received the help needed. An interview on 11/20/25 at 12:30pm with the Administrator revealed the DON no longer worked at the facility. The Administrator stated the DON informed her Resident #1 was kicking, biting, hitting, and threatening to kill (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.
