interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure rehabilitative services were provided for one of four
sampled residents (Resident 1) when Physical Therapy (PT) was not provided according to the plan of care
and physician orders.This failure had the potential to result in the resident failing to attain her highest
practicable level of physical and functional well-being.During an interview with the Administrator on 1/27/26
at 10:10 a.m., the Administrator stated that the facility was transitioning to having in-house rehab staff
rather than staff from an outside rehab provider. The facility ended the contract with the outside rehab
providers at the start of the year. The Administrator stated he hired one Occupational Therapist (OT) from
the outside rehab providers to continue to work for this facility. She became the facilities employee on the
day the outside rehab providers contract ended. The Administrator stated that the facility had a Physical
Therapist Assistant (PTA), to start work next week and to serve as the Director of Rehab. The Facility had
several positions advertised as available for PT, OT, and Speech Language Pathology (SLT.) The facility
planned to utilize telehealth services to provide PT, OT and SLT services and have PT Aides and OT aides
at the facility.During an interview with the OT on 1/27/26 at 10:30 a.m., the OT stated the transition
happened on 1/5/26. The last day of the contract with the outside rehab providers was 1/4/26. They had not
sent any PT, OT, or SLT to the facility since 1/4/26. The OT stated she has been able to provide the OT
services ordered by physicians. The OT stated she did not think any Residents had needed PT or SLT
services over the last month. The OT stated the facility could only provide OT services at this time. During
