Summary
The facility failed to provide required documentation regarding bed-hold policies to a resident or their representative following the resident's transfer to the hospital. Record review showed that the resident was admitted and later transferred to the hospital, but there was no documented evidence that a bed-hold notice was given at the time of transfer. The facility's own bed-hold policy states that residents or their responsible parties must be notified of their right to return and that this notification should be documented in the medical record. During an interview, the DON confirmed that there was no documentation of the bed-hold notice for this resident and was unable to locate the required document.
