(Resident #28) of her rights to receive timely specialized rehabilitation services, physical therapy (PT) and

The finding included:
Review of the facility's policy titled, Scheduling Therapy Services revised July 2013 documented, Therapy

done within 24-hours of a resident's admission to the facility. Therapy services usually begin between 24-72
hours of the resident's admission. The DON also stated that it is the facility's policy for ensuring that
therapeutic services are provided timely.
Interviews with the Lead Physical Therapist (Employee A) and the Physical Therapy Consultant on 06/13/24
at 09:16 AM, revealed that the facility has 24-to 48 hours to assess residents' physical needs, or conduct an
evaluation for all newly admitted residents. However, therapeutic treatment did not start for Resident #28
until 06/3/2024 for both Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy. The Rehabilitation Consultant
explained that physical therapy services were delayed because of a payor source issue. She added that the
Physician Order to evaluate and treat Resident #28 was issued on 05/17/2024, but they were not sure who
was going to pay. Also, Resident #28 had a private insurance that had denied the authorization to treat, or
to pay for services. The Rehabilitation Consultant further stated that delaying provision of services was an
error of their part. They were obliged to evaluate and treat Resident #28, as per physician's orders.
During an interview on 06/13/24 at 9:39 AM, the Business Office Manager (BOM) stated before admitting
any resident to the facility, the admission Coordinator usually shares with the business office information
regarding the incoming resident payor source, whether it is Medicare part A or B, Medicaid or private
insurance. The BOM stated once a resident is admitted to the facility, services must be provided. The BOM
added there should not be any reason to delay treatment once the physician has given the order to assess
and treat the resident.
The BOM explained that Resident #28 had a Medicaid case pending but she was eligible for Medicare Part
B since her admission to the facility, and was eligible for rehabilitation services. The BOM said that the
Rehabilitation Department was supposed to bring the physician order to the business office to initiate the
process or authorization for treatment, but they did not bring anything to her.
During an interview on 6/13/24 at 9:45 AM, the admission Director (AD) stated that she knew that Resident
#28 had [ ] insurance prior to her being admitted to the facility. The facility that the resident was admitted
from told her that the resident would no longer receive services from [ .]. The AD stated that they made it
clear to Resident #28's legal representative and the family that [ ] would not approve services since
Resident #28 had reached her highest physical level from the facility she was being discharge from. The AD
stated because of that reason PT and OT treatment was delayed until 06/3/2024. They were waiting for
Resident #28 to be disenrolled from the [ ] plan and to enroll in the Medicare part B plan.
During an interview on 06/13/24 at 10:41 AM, Resident #28 stated that she was admitted to the facility on
[DATE]. She said that when she arrived at the facility, they told her that she had to wait to have therapy. She
said that she did not know that she could have been treated within 24-hours of her admission, while her
case was being processed. She stated that since she started treatment she has made significant progress,
she is now able to stand. However, Resident #28 said that it was brutal laying in bed for three weeks while
waiting for approval of her Medicare benefits. She wished someone had explained this to her sooner.
The findings were discussed with the Administration at the exit conference on 06/13/2024 at 3:49 PM, and
the representatives were offered an opportunity to provide any further information regarding the identified
concern. There were no questions. The Administrator acknowledged the findings.

Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], section titled Brief Interview of Mental
Status recorded Resident #28 had a score of 14 out of 15 on the assessment. This score identified
Resident #28 as being cognitively, mentally sound to handle her personal affairs. In addition, the Face
Sheet documented Resident #28 is her sole responsible party.
During an interview conducted on 06/13/24 at 11:08 AM, the MDS Coordinator stated that she had invited
Resident #28 to attend the Care plan meeting held on 05/28/2024, but the resident did not want to get out
of bed. The MDS Coordinator stated that she did not offer to have the meeting in the resident's room.
Instead, the MDS Coordinator stated that she contacted Resident #28's son, who is identified on record as
emergency contact #1, and the resident's daughter is listed as the resident's Power of Attorney (POA) and
financial emergency contact #2.
Review of the Social Services notes documented, in part:
Call placed to Son . and he connected with his sister . for care plan meeting for Resident #28. Team
reviewed resident's medication, diagnosis, discharge planning, and answered questions.
Review of the Care Plan notes dated 05/28/2024 revealed that the meeting was held without Resident #28
being present. All decisions and plans were made and discussed with and by the interdisciplinary team
(IDT), Resident #28's children, and her son-in-law, via phone conference. During that meeting, the team
discussed Resident #28's Medications; Resident #28's family wanted resident to continue with taking the
pain meds more often, and the facility suggested that the Tramadol be changed to routinely rather than as
needed (prn) and everyone agreed. The Pain management Doctor was notified of the family's request. The
Family wanted Resident #28 to be out of bed (OOB) for at least 90 mins or as she can tolerates sitting up.
The MDS Coordinator documented that she spoke with the resident, who stated the most she can sit
upright is no more than 90 minutes because she has spinal stenosis and Arthritic pain. In all, the decisions
were made on behalf of Resident #28 while Resident #28 was not given the opportunity to attend the
meeting.
An interview with the Social Worker (SW) on 06/13/24 at 11:21 AM revealed that he was present during the
