  • No harm, potential for more than minimal, patternF628May 15, 2026

    Based on staff interviews, record review, and review of the facility policy titled, Transfer and Discharge (including AMA [Against Medical Advice], the facility failed to ensure six of 41 sampled residents (Resident (R) 3, R7, R149, R4, R15, and R72) and their resident representatives (RR) reviewed for emergency hospital transfer, were provided with a written transfer/discharge notice which contained the appeal process. This failure had the potential to affect the residents and their RR by not having the knowledge of how to appeal the transfer, if desired, and had the potential to contribute to the possible denial of re-admission and loss of the resident's home following hospitalization for residents transferred to the hospital. Findings include: 1. […]
