SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
During an interview on 9/4/25 at 12:00 P.M. the Ombudsman said:-He/she collaborated with the prior social worker whom would send a list of resident discharges monthly to coordinate services. -He/she had not received the discharges from the administration for the months of July and August. -He/she had reached out and requested logs for May and June to the Administrator after they had not been received for two months, reminding him/her of the regulation and acknowledging that their Social Worker previously sent these and was no longer there.
The Administrator had sent May and June logs after requested. -The Ombudsman program is not required to continually remind facilities of delinquent logs and was not responsible to provide education and reminders for facilities when there are staffing changes or a sudden drop off in receiving logs. -It was important to receive the discharge logs timely to help the Ombudsman program support residents in discharge and transfer processes.
The Ombudsman program reviews the logs for hospital transfers and confirms readmissions to ensure residents are afforded that opportunity or that the discharge process is followed per regulations.
Skilled nursing facilities were required to provide copies of any discharge letters issued, the logs were another way for the program to cross check and potentially support a resident that may have been improperly discharged as well as affords the opportunity to provide education to facilities that may be trying to do things correctly but might not have a clear understanding of the discharge procedures.
