Pearl Pavilion: Accident Hazard Safety Violations - IL
Federal inspectors found the facility failed to provide required discharge planning services for Resident 2 between November 2025 and January 2026. Social service notes from November 9, 2025 documented that the resident was alert, oriented, able to communicate his needs verbally, and ambulated independently using a walker.
The resident was a smoker who left the facility regularly with an independent community pass. His current care plan indicated he was at Pearl Pointe for short-term rehabilitation and remained independent with activities of daily living.
Despite these indicators of independence, inspectors found no documentation of discharge planning efforts during the three-month period they reviewed. The resident's preference, according to facility records, was not to be asked about discharge planning.
The contradiction in the resident's status created confusion in his care documentation. His current care plan showed he made his own decisions and remained independent with activities. However, his discharge care plan indicated he had extensive care needs requiring a long-term care setting.
Pearl Pointe's own discharge planning policy, dated January 2020, requires staff to identify appropriate candidates for discharge planning and facilitate transitions to less structured environments. The policy specifically mandates social work staff involvement in assessing discharge potential and documenting significant information related to discharge planning.
The facility's policy also requires coordination of adequate supportive community care services for residents transitioning out of the facility. Inspectors found none of these required services were provided to the resident during the months under review.
The resident remained at Pearl Pointe despite his documented independence and short-term rehabilitation status, with facility staff failing to explore community placement options or document reasons for the lack of discharge planning efforts.
