Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the transfer or discharge process met the resident's needs and preferences, and did not adequately prepare the resident for a safe transfer or discharge. This deficiency was identified based on observations and documentation showing that the necessary steps to assess and address the resident's individual requirements and preferences during the transfer or discharge process were not completed. As a result, the resident was not fully prepared for a safe transition to the next care setting.
