Summary
The facility failed to readmit a resident following a transfer to the hospital. The resident, who had a history of heart failure, kidney disease, diabetes, depression, and prior suicidal behavior, was transferred to the hospital after expressing suicidal intent and attempting self-harm. After a psychiatric evaluation, the hospital determined the resident was safe to return to the facility. However, hospital records indicated that the facility refused to accept the resident back, a fact confirmed by the Regional Director of Operations.
