facility must establish and maintain identical
policies and practices regarding transfer,
discharge, and the provision of services under
the State plan for all residents regardless of
payment source.
§483.10(b) Exercise of Rights.
The resident has the right to exercise his or her
rights as a resident of the facility and as a
citizen or resident of the United States.
§483.10(b)(1) The facility must ensure that the
resident can exercise his or her rights without
interference, coercion, discrimination, or
reprisal from the facility.
§483.10(b)(2) The resident has the right to be
free of interference, coercion, discrimination,
and reprisal from the facility in exercising his or
her rights and to be supported by the facility in
the exercise of his or her rights as required
under this subpart.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to follow its policy to ensure a
resident's and family member's (FM 1) wishes
to be discharged were acknowledged and
documented in the progress notes for one of
three sampled residents (Resident 1). Resident
1 felt she was held against her will for 30 days
from the residents' request to go home.
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1's
rights being violated by not allowing the
resident to go home when she verbalized her
wishes to be discharged home.

identify changes that require modification of the
discharge plan. The discharge plan must be
updated, as needed, to reflect these changes.

process of developing the discharge plan.

The results of the evaluation must be
discussed with the resident or resident's

must be incorporated into the discharge plan to
facilitate its implementation and to avoid
unnecessary delays in the resident's discharge

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to develop and
implement a discharge plan that addressed the
resident's discharge needs upon resident's
readmission to the facility, reduced a resident's
and family's anxiety (feeling of unease;
excessive worry), and include a post-discharge
plan of care with the participation of the
resident and/or the resident's family for one of
three sampled residents (Resident 1). Resident
1, who was alert and self-responsible, had
been requesting upon re-admission on 5/20/19
(30 days after), to be discharged home with
family and the facility failed to address her
request.
These deficient practices resulted in Resident 1
expressing feeling like a hostage (holding
someone against their own will), depressed
(state of general unhappiness), sad, and not
participating in activities of daily living ([ADLs]
grooming, tooth/hair brushing, and eating) due
to her inability to go home with her family.

hospital bed and transfer lift).

care through education and inquiry.
A review of the undated policy, "Transfer and
Discharge Policy & Procedure," indicated that
the transfer and discharge is ideally planned
event. The facility's staff should handle the
transfer/discharge of the residents in a way that
minimizes the resident's and family's anxiety.
