were none found. The RCN said whenever there was a discharge it had to be signed by the doctor and none of that was found. The RCN said he believed that Resident #1 might have left the faciity on his own will and was not necessarily discharged by the facility so no 30-day notice was issued but that they should have still contacted the Ombudsman. During a telephone interview on 11/10/2025 at 11:15 am the previous DON said there had not been a 30-day discharge done for Resident #1 that she could recall before he discharged from the facility. She said that the previous Administrator knew about a facility in Houston Texas and had contacted them and they had accepted Resident #1. The previous DON said that she was present
in the previous Administrators office when he had told Resident #1 if he would like to move to another facility. She said that the resident had agreed to go on his own will thus reason there was no 30-day notice given. The previous DON said she did not recall if the Ombudsman was notified of the discharge.
