Summary
The facility failed to provide a written notice of transfer and a bed-hold notice to a resident and their representative, as well as to the State Long Term Care Ombudsman, when the resident was hospitalized from January 30, 2025 through February 2, 2025. Record review showed that the facility's policies required written notification to the resident, their representative, and the Ombudsman prior to transfer, and that information about the bed-hold policy must be given at the time of transfer. However, documentation confirming that these notifications were completed was not found in the resident's medical record for the hospitalization event.
