Summary
A resident was transported from out of town to the facility via contracted ambulance, with local family members meeting her upon arrival. Upon arrival, staff determined that the family members were too intoxicated to sign admission paperwork, and the staff present refused to accept the resident for admission. The resident subsequently left with her family, and staff did not contact the administrator or other management at the time of the incident. There was no safe discharge plan in place for the resident, who had previously been living with family before her hospitalization and did not have immediate medical concerns such as IV antibiotics or rehab orders.
