Summary
The facility failed to provide written notification to both a resident's representative and the State's Long-Term Care Ombudsman regarding the resident's transfer to a behavioral health hospital. Review of the electronic medical record and clinical documentation for the resident showed no evidence that such written notices were issued at the time of transfer. Interviews with the assigned Ombudsman and the resident's representative confirmed that neither received written notification of the transfer. The facility administrator also acknowledged that the required written notices were not provided to the resident's representative or the Ombudsman at the time of the transfer.
