facility;- Discharge planning wasn't done because the resident wanted to transfer;- A discharge notice and Bed Hold Policy was sent to the Guardian but the Ombudsman was not contacted about the transfer.During an interview on 9/11/25 at 1:05 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) said:- The facility could take care of the resident because they have put in a lot of interventions to engage with the Resident.
The Resident voiced concerned because they could not leave the facility on his/her own and that was a level of independence he/she desired;- The Resident would express SI which resulted in therapy and one on one monitoring to keep the Resident safe. - The resident had the behavior of changing their mind on desires and needs from day to day;- The staff would look for other places the Resident could go but then the resident would change his/her mind and they would stop looking;- During the Resident's most recent hospital stay they were able to find another SNF for him/her but the facility would have taken the resident back if required;- The Resident was not in an emergency situation which required his/her immediate transfer;- The facility had been able to handle the last two incidents of SI with the resident so there wasn't a worry they couldn't keep him/her safe and they were adjusting medications as an intervention to help with the behaviors;Complaint 2609355
