Summary
The facility failed to provide written notification to residents and their representatives regarding the bed hold policy and the reasons for transfer, including Ombudsman information, when two residents were transferred to the hospital following a change in condition.

During an interview, the Administrator confirmed that there was no evidence that the required notices were sent to the residents or their responsible parties.
