Documented in R1’s most recent in-house wellness appraisal, dated 01/08/2026, it is indicated that a wheelchair is used as an ambulation aid and states “[resident] will use the wheelchair when the scooter needs charging.” Continuing in the wellness appraisal, under sections titled Cognitive Function, Safety Needs, and Psychosocial, there are no selections indicating that R1 displays cognitive impairment or behavioral issues that pose a safety risk to themselves or other residents in care. R1’s last Medical Assessment for RCFE LIC 602A, dated 07/21/2025, indicates R1 does not have any cognitive conditions or any other medical conditions, but requires assistive devices (“wheelchair/walker”) for motor impairment, and can manage own treatment/medication/equipment.
