F 0569

Notify each resident of certain balances and convey resident funds upon discharge, eviction, or death.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on

interview and record review, the facility failed to convey within 30 days the resident's funds upon discharge for 1 of 3 residents (Resident #9) reviewed for personal funds. The facility failed to ensure Resident #9's personal funds were conveyed within 30 days of the resident's self-initiated discharge from the facility. This failure could result in loss of personal funds or decreased quality life to residents. Findings included: Record

review of Resident #9's face sheet, dated [DATE REDACTED], revealed an [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility

on [DATE REDACTED] and discharged home on [DATE REDACTED]. Record review of Resident #9's discharge MDS, dated [DATE REDACTED] revealed a BIMS score of 15, indicating no cognitive decline. Record review of Resident #9's HHSC Form 3618, dated [DATE REDACTED] and printed on [DATE REDACTED], revealed Resident #9's notification to the state of discharge home (return not anticipated) was processed and accepted by HHSC and the Texas Medicaid and Healthcare Partnership on [DATE REDACTED]. Record review of Resident #9's transaction record of personal funds, dated [DATE REDACTED], revealed Resident #9's account had a positive balance of $1,030.01 from a deposit on [DATE REDACTED] with a description that read SSA Treas [number]. The Business Office Manager position at the facility was vacant at the time of survey, so no interview was performed. In an interview with the Admin. on [DATE REDACTED] at 1:50 PM, she stated she was not the Admin. of the facility when the resident discharged . She stated that when a resident is discharged and the notification of discharge (form 3618) is processed, Medicaid and the SSA are notified that the account is closed so no further funds would deposit into a resident's account. She said the deposit in Resident #9's account was likely his monthly direct deposit from

the SSA, and she explained that since Resident #9's form 3618 was processed after the deposit, he should have received a refund from the facility within 30 days. She was unsure why the refund had not been processed by the facility. She stated the facility's Business Office Manager had unexpectedly and suddenly died 3 days prior, and the facility was working with their corporate office to continue to operations of the Business Office. She stated she would ensure Resident #9 received a refund for the amount in the account.

In an interview with Resident #9 on [DATE REDACTED] at 2:10 PM, he stated he was not aware of the funds in the account at the facility. He stated he had not been notified by the facility that there was a deposit after he discharged home. He stated he spoke with the former Business Office Manager sometime in early August regarding home health care services, but she did not mention his personal funds account. She told him she would return his call regarding his issue, but he had not heard from her since then. Record review of the facility policy titled Resident Rights (dated 2025) revealed the following: The resident has the right to receive notices orally (meaning spoken) and in writing (including Braille) in a format and a language he or

herself on 08/14/2025. Record review of a progress note dated 05/14/2025 at 7:27 AM in Resident #1's EHR revealed the resident was found crying in her bedroom by a CNA. Resident #1 stated she did not want to live and did not want to be here anymore. The resident's RP and MD were contacted and the resident was transferred to the hospital. The resident returned to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] to the general population.

Record review of Resident #1's psychiatric evaluation dated 05/14/2025 during her hospital admission noted the resident was physically able to harm herself, was not supervised at her current facility, and would potentially be able to do so. The psychiatrist recommended a memory care facility with closer observation.

Record review of a progress note by LVN B dated 08/14/2025 at 5:00 PM in Resident #1's EHR dated 08/14/2025 at 5:00 PM revealed the resident was bleeding from her right wrist with a women's shaving razor on the bed beside her. The resident informed the nurse she wanted to die and to go to the hospital.

Pressure was applied to the site, the wound was cleaned, treated with antibiotic cream, and dressed with a dry dressing. The wound was superficial and approximately 2 cm long. The resident's vital signs were taken and within normal ranges. The DON was informed, the resident's physician and RP were notified, the resident was on 1:1 watch until transport arrived, and the resident was transported to the ER. The resident returned to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] to her previous room, which was not on the memory care unit. Record

review of a self-reported incident filed by the administrator of the facility on 08/16/2025 revealed: Brief narrative summary of the reportable incident: Resident sent out to hospital on [DATE REDACTED] due to suicidal ideation.

During an interview on 08/22/2025 at 4:20 PM, the Administrator stated she had assumed the position of administrator on 08/04/2025. She was out of town the day Resident #1 attempted to injure herself. She received a call from the DON, who described the situation as the resident having a suicidal ideation but he did not say the resident had injured herself, and she did not believe the resident's attempt to injure herself with the razor was a suicide attempt and required reporting to

the state agency. During an interview on 08/22/2025 at 4:30 PM, the DON stated he called the Administrator on 08/14/2025 and told her Resident #1 was sent to the hospital. He recalled describing the resident cutting herself but did not recall if he used the term suicide attempt, as it was an ongoing situation.

He remembered Resident #1 being hospitalized in May 2025 for a suicidal ideation but was unaware of the recommendation by the hospital psychiatrist to have the resident admitted to a secure unit. The DON did not believe the resident needed a secure unit and could be managed with increased supervision. Record

review of the facility's policy, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation, updated 2025, revealed, It is the policy of this facility to provide protections for the health, welfare, and rights of each resident by developing and implementing written policies and procedures that prohibit and prevent abuse, neglect, exploitation, and misappropriation of resident property.

In an interview on 08/23/2025 at 4:09 PM, CNA F stated the geriatric chair was used as a measure to prevent Resident #8 from falling but the resident could get herself out of the geriatric chair when it was reclined and had done so the previous weekend when CNA F worked on the secured unit, so staff would be near Resident #8 when she was in the geriatric chair to ensure this did not happen.

In an interview on 08/23/2025 from 3:27 PM to 3:38 PM, MDS Nurse stated Resident #8’s Risk for Falls care plan was updated on 08/06/2025 when the interventions of having the resident up at the nurses’ station when anxious and scheduled care plan with family and hospice were added. The MDS Nurse stated she did not know when Resident #8 was provided with the geriatric chair, the chair was used as in intervention for positioning to calm her down and because of her fall risk. The MDS Nurse verified the geriatric chair was not listed as an intervention and she didn’t not have a reason why it was not added to the care plan.
