Notice is deficient in that it indicates the intention to discharge Appellant to her former home to live with her son. Appellant was admitted to the nursing facility with a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and was clinically determined to require skilled nursing services; the only safe and appropriate setting for Appellant would be another skilled nursing facility capable of meeting the needs of a resident with Alzheimer’s disease. Accordingly, the subject 30-Day Notice of Intent to Discharge fails to indicate a safe and appropriate discharge location.
