Inspection Findings
unable to provide a fax confirmation indicating Resident #4's discharge packet was sent to the home care agency regarding his/her medical needs (which included medication management, wound care, physical therapy, and patient care assistance) and/or that he/she was accepted back for services. SW #1 further identified her contact at the home care agency was Person #2.Interview with Person #2 (Intake Manager for Behavioral Services at the home care agency) on [DATE] at 9:20 AM identified he/she did not receive any discharge paperwork (fax) requesting services for Resident #4 and was not aware a request for services was made prior to or upon his/her discharge from the SNF.
Person #2 further indicated he/she communicated with the SNF, within a week following Resident #4's admission to the SNF, that the resident would not be accepted back for services as the agency was unable to provide the increased level of care Resident #4 required.
However, Person #2 did indicate the case could be reviewed closer to the date of discharge if Resident #4's service needs had changed.
Following notification that Resident #4's was discharged from the SNF without medical services/support in place, the agency made an allowance to accept the resident back and took appropriate steps to recertify the resident for services.
Review of the Discharge Planning policy directed the facility social work staff to assist, as needed or requested, with referrals to community-based agencies for coordination of as needed post-discharge services.
