Inspection Findings
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident was discharged in a safe condition after previously accepting admission and responsibility for the resident from out of town for 1 (#1) of 1 resident sampled for inappropriate discharge.
This deficient practice was corrected on 6/4/25 and determined to be past non-compliance.
Findings include: Review of a facility incident report, dated 6/3/25, showed resident #1 had been refused admission to [Facility Name]. Resident #1 had arrived from several hours away via contracted ambulance, and her local family had met her at the facility.

The resident left with family and staff did not contact the administrator or other management.
There was no safe discharge plan in place.

Staff member A contacted the State Survey Agency for guidance.
Staff member B immediately contacted the resident to ensure safety and to discuss a potential admission.
The resident had been living with family before her hospitalization and had not wanted to be admitted to long-term care.

She had no immediate medical concerns [i.e. IV antibiotics or rehab orders].
Staff member A stated the employee who refused admission was suspended and later resigned.
Staff education was completed, and the facility held an emergency QAPI meeting on 6/4/25, and addressed the incident with a plan of correction. No other residents have since been refused admission.
