32 | LPA obtain medical records from the post acute hospital and Fair Oaks Care Center; however, no records were available from the time of R1’s stay. S2 reported that Fair Oaks was the third SNF R1 had been referred to during that period due to insurance complications.
Regarding the facility evaluation, RCC Mitchell stated that former RCC Hakim was expected to complete an assessment for R1’s return, but there is no documentation indicating that Hakim conducted or submitted an evaluation. S2 stated the evaluation was intended to determine whether R1 could safely return to the facility. S2 reported R1 required two person assistance at the time and did not qualify for a hospital bed through insurance. R1 reportedly already had a hospital bed available elsewhere but did not want a twin sized bed. S2 also stated they were not familiar with restricted or prohibited health conditions and were unsure what requirements applied to R1’s return.
Based on interviews and available information, there is no evidence that the facility refused R1’s return, failed to coordinate care, or violated Title 22 requirements. The information gathered indicates R1 independently pursued skilled nursing services, and information reviewed confirmed the need for a higher level of care. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. |
