13 | At 10:00am on 06/08/2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mark Jeffries arrived at the facility to issue final findings to the complaint allegation above. LPA met with Administrator Chris Wohlwend.
As to the allegation of, “Facility did not notify resident's responsible party of resident's transfer to another facility.” Based on documentation and interviews, it was discovered that R1 had an Advanced Health Care Directive (AHED), signed, notarized and certified on August 28, 2019 indicating that F1 was designated and appointed agent in R1’s AHED document. The AHCD did have an alternate person listed, however, the AHCD stated within the contract that the alternat appointee would only be if, “F1 is not reasonably available, able, or willing, or becomes ineligible to act as agent to make healthcare decisions … or if (R1) revokes the appointment … then (R1) designated the following person to serve as agent.” This did not apply at the time of the medically necessary transfer of R1 to a higher level of care facility at the time of transfer on December 16, 2021. Therefore, the allegation of “Facility did not notify resident's responsible party of resident's transfer to another facility.” Is unsubstantiated, at this time.
Exit interview, Report signed, and copy provided.
