The Ching Villas: Care Quality Deficiencies - HI
The resident, identified in inspection records as R3, had spent roughly a year at The Ching Villas on Liliha Street while staff worked to find her a long-term care placement. During that time, her condition moved in one direction. Physical therapy records showed her cognition declined from independent to severely impaired. Her ability to express ideas and understand others deteriorated. Her self-care score, rated by occupational therapists, dropped from 10 out of 12 to 4. Both her physical therapist and occupational therapist recommended she remain in a skilled nursing facility.
The social worker confirmed on October 7 that long-term care placement was the best option for R3 and that her condition had not improved.
That same afternoon, the administrator told inspectors she had generated the Notice of Resident Discharge form to move the process along after a year of unsuccessful placement efforts. A family member had expressed a preference for home discharge. The administrator said she entered "home" on the form because of that preference, even though she believed it was not safe for R3 to go home.
For the discharge reason, she checked the box stating the resident's health had improved sufficiently and she no longer needed the facility's services. When inspectors reviewed this with her, the administrator agreed it did not accurately reflect R3's condition.
The facility's own documentation policy, reviewed during the inspection, states that medical records must be timely, accurate, objective, thorough, and complete, and must clearly reflect the condition of the patient.
Federal inspectors cited the deficiency at a level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm. The inspection was completed October 9, 2025.
R3's discharge situation remained unresolved at the time of the inspection, with her family's preferred option ruled unsafe by the facility's own administrator and a long-term care bed still not secured.
