Eastview Manor Care Center: Emergency Discharge - MO
The facility issued an emergency discharge on July 31st after determining the resident posed safety risks to staff and other patients. Administrator A notified the public administrator by phone that day, stating the resident would not be allowed back "for the health and safety of the residents and staff."
The resident had been housed in the facility's secured behavioral unit before the discharge. According to the Assistant Director of Nursing, she accompanied the resident during transport to Hospital B for psychiatric evaluation after the patient stated intentions to hurt themselves and others. She told inspectors she "did not feel that the resident's needs could be met by the facility staff and that the resident was a danger to others."
Administrator B, who took over after the discharge, said the decision was made "in the best interest of the resident, the staff, and the other residents for the resident to be immediately discharged from the facility's secured behavioral unit."
But weeks after the emergency discharge, the resident remains hospitalized with nowhere to go.
Hospital B's RN B told inspectors on August 8th that "as of 8/8/25 the resident has no need to be admitted to the hospital and remains at Hospital B in the emergency room pending permanent placement for the resident."
The Deputy Chief Public Administrator confirmed the resident "is still at Hospital B waiting for Hospital B to find appropriate placement for the resident." She added that she "does not feel that long-term care setting is the appropriate place any longer" and acknowledged she "has not been able to find placement for the resident."
The situation deteriorated further during the patient's extended hospital stay. Hospital B's RN C reported on August 11th that "the resident became violent last night towards others and required restraints be applied to prevent the resident from hurting others." The patient was then admitted to the hospital and placed on one-on-one monitoring while awaiting psychiatric evaluation.
The resident's history suggests a pattern of challenging behaviors across facilities. The Director of Nursing from a sister facility explained that the resident "could become aggressive with staff and would often get involved with other resident's drama or behaviors causing the resident to have behaviors." That facility had recommended the transfer to Eastview Manor, thinking "the resident could use a change and though the facility would be a good fit for the resident."
However, the Assistant Director of Nursing at Eastview Manor said she was not involved in the admission decision. She told inspectors that discussions had occurred about "the abuse the resident had caused the nursing staff" and noted that acceptance decisions "are made by corporate staff and the administrator."
During an interview on August 11th, the resident expressed confusion and frustration about the situation. The patient told inspectors they "believed that he/she would be going back to the facility after treatment at the hospital."
The resident's personal belongings remain at Eastview Manor. "His/her personal belongings are at the facility, and he/she has nothing," the patient told inspectors. The resident described missing the connections made at the nursing home, saying they "had made friends at the facility and missed them and the other residents."
The uncertainty has taken an emotional toll. The resident said they were "frustrated he/she was not able to return to his/her home" and expressed being "uncertain about where she will live and what the plans for the future will be."
Federal regulations require nursing homes to provide adequate notice before discharge and ensure appropriate placement arrangements. Emergency discharges are permitted only in limited circumstances when the resident's immediate needs cannot be met or when the health and safety of other individuals would be endangered.
The inspection was conducted in response to complaints filed with state authorities. Two separate complaint numbers were assigned to the case: #2579000 and #2580318.
The violation was classified as causing "minimal harm or potential for actual harm" affecting "few" residents. However, the individual impact appears significant, with one person left without housing, personal possessions, or a clear path to appropriate care.
The case highlights the challenges facilities face when caring for residents with complex behavioral health needs, particularly in specialized units designed for such patients. It also raises questions about discharge planning responsibilities and the adequacy of community resources for individuals requiring both long-term care and psychiatric services.
As of the inspection date, the resident remained hospitalized under psychiatric evaluation, with restraints applied for safety and continuous monitoring in place. The search for appropriate long-term placement continues, while personal belongings sit unclaimed at the facility that determined it could no longer provide care.
