substantial / maximum assist with activities of daily living (ADLs).
Record review revealed a Progress Note dated 04/03/24 at 11:37 AM that documented Resident #103 was
not feeling well and appeared weak and listless. The physician was notified, and orders were received for
blood labs to be done. Subsequently, on 04/03/24 at 10:47 PM (2247 hours), an order was received for a

small carts that are on the individual units. At the conclusion of the interview, the IP was made aware of the
