Summary
The facility failed to provide four residents and/or their resident representatives with a written transfer notice that included required information about appeal rights and contact information for the Long-Term Care Ombudsman when the residents were transferred to the hospital. Review of the facility policy titled, Bed Hold Authorization Form: South Carolina, revised 01/11/24, showed the policy addressed bed hold notices but did not include information about the transfer notice, the appeals process, or ombudsman contact information. The facility provided Transfer/Bed Hold Notice Prior to Hospitalization or Therapeutic Leave forms for three residents, but those forms did not include the appeals process or the ombudsman's contact information. Resident 1 was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 13/15 and was transferred to the hospital for an irregular heart rate, oxygen saturation of 81 percent, and hypertension before returning to the facility. Resident 3 was also cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 13/15 and was directly admitted to the hospital from the physician's office for a peri-rectal abscess before returning. Resident 5 had severe cognitive impairment with a BIMS score of 3/15 and was sent to the hospital for evaluation after a fall with head involvement, returning the same day. Resident 2 had severe cognitive impairment with a BIMS score of 5/15 and was transferred to the hospital for gross hematuria and CHF exacerbation, and later for left hip dislocation; the facility's form letters for these transfers stated that the appeal process and ombudsman information were not provided. During interviews, the Social Service Director and Administrator stated they were not aware that the ombudsman's contact information and appeal process information needed to be provided in writing at the time of hospital transfer.
