Summary
The facility failed to provide required written notifications and documentation related to resident transfers to the hospital for three residents. Specifically, for one resident, there was no evidence that the Medical Power of Attorney (MPOA) was notified in writing of the transfer, nor was the bed hold policy provided. For two additional residents, the facility did not provide written notification to the MPOA regarding the hospital transfer, did not provide the bed hold policy, and failed to send notification to the ombudsman. These deficiencies were confirmed through record review and staff interviews, with the Director of Nursing acknowledging the absence of the required forms and notifications in the residents' charts.
