The findings include:
R1's admission Record dated 11/6/24 showed R1 was a [AGE] year old female admitted to the facility with
diagnoses of lung cancer and pneumonia.
R1's hospital discharge instructions dated 11/6/24 showed R1 was to receive physical therapy services, 1-2
times per day, Monday-Friday, while in the facility.
A physician order for R1, dated 11/6/24, showed, Eval and treat-PT (physical therapy).
On 11/13/24 at 8:23 AM, R1 was in bed. R1 stated, I came here to get stronger so I could go home to my
kids. I am not getting any physical therapy. I have gotten OT (occupational therapy) but I need to get
stronger so I can get out of bed .
R1's therapy records dated 11/6/24-11/13/24 were reviewed. The records showed she was evaluated by
occupational therapy on 11/7/24. R1 received occupational therapy services on 11/8/24 and 11/11/24. The
records showed no physical therapy evaluation was completed on R1. R1 had not received any physical
therapy services in the facility.
On 11/13/24 at 10:26 AM, V7 Director of Rehab stated, Our goal is to have any newly admitted resident
assessed by therapy within 24 hours of admission. V7 stated R1 had been assessed by the occupational
therapist upon admission but had yet to be assessed by a physical therapist. When V7 was asked why R1
had not been assessed by a physical therapist, V7 stated, It was a scheduling thing. Our therapists come
PRN (as needed) and our therapy assistants do the daily treatments. Our occupational therapist was here
last week and could see (R1) right away. Our occupational therapist thought (R1) would be tired from the
OT so we didn't have our physical therapist see (R1) . V7 stated she was unaware of R1's hospital
discharge (therapy) instructions.
On 11/13/24 at 12:50 PM, V2 Director of Nursing stated, We dropped the ball. We should have had the
physical therapist evaluate (R1).
