Summary
The facility failed to provide a required notice of bed hold to a resident who was discharged to a local hospital. Record review showed that the resident was hospitalized from 8/20/24 through 8/26/24, but there was no documentation in the electronic medical record indicating that a bed hold notice was given. During an interview, the resident, who was found to be cognitively intact based on a perfect score on the Brief Interview for Mental Status, stated she did not recall being informed about her ability to return to the facility or that her bed would be held. The administrative assistant confirmed that no bed hold notice was present for this hospitalization event.
