Findings include: The Resident Information and Reference Guide booklet, provided to residents and/or family on admission to the facility, documented that the facility would provide written information that described the bed hold policy when a resident was transferred to the hospital. The booklet also documented that the facility was required to provide written information to the resident, family or legal representative that specifies duration of bed hold during which the resident would be able to return and resume residence in the facility. Provide written information that specifies bed availability and re-admission practice if the hospitalization or therapeutic leave exceeds the bed hold period under the state plan. Provide notice within 24 hours. The booklet further documented the following procedure in the Bed Hold Requirement and Notification section: [NAME] Complete the Bed Hold Form prior to transferring a resident to the hospital. In cases of emergency transfer, written notification must be provided within 24 hours of transfer. B. Complete the Bed Hold Form prior to the resident leaving the facility for a therapeutic leave C.

A review of the financial file revealed a copy of a letter, dated 11/30/17 mailed to the resident's responsible party notifying them in writing of the bed hold policy.
