admission Record documents an admission date of 8/29/24 with diagnoses including hemiplegia and
hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting the left non-dominant side, aphasia following cerebral
infarction, and personal history of Transient Ischemic Attack.
R37's December 17, 2024 quarterly MDS Section GG documents that under Functional Limitation Range
of Motion is impaired on one side for both upper/lower extremity. This same MDS Section O0500
documents zero days of restorative nursing program for active/passive range of motion was completed in a
look back period of 7 days.
R37's care plan documents a focus area of: R37 has a self-care deficit as evidenced by needing assistance
with ADL's related to hemiplegia. The goal for this focus area is: R37 will continue to perform current level of
ADL function through review date. The Interventions for this goal include: PT/OT evaluation and treatment
as physician orders.
R37's OT Evaluation and Plan of Treatment dated 6/20-24-7/30/24 documents under the musculoskeletal
assessment that R37 has a contracture of left hand will treat and address the impairment.

assessment that R37's left lower extremity range of motion is impaired.
On 1/29/25 at 1:52 PM, V8 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated that she works all three halls on any given
day. V8 stated that she tries to work with residents if they have exercises posted in their room, or if she sees
that they are having any problems straightening out any joints. V8 stated that not all residents necessarily
receive daily active or passive range of motion whether they are receiving therapy services or not. V8 also
stated that she doesn't really follow a program when doing any type of exercises, she just tries to work on
what they can tolerate.
On 1/28/25 at 9:30 AM, R37 who is alert to person, place and time stated that he does not get any type of
daily exercises or therapy from the staff, but he would like to. R37 stated that no type of exercises are done
on his left hand that he has a brace on it from a previous stroke. R37 stated that he does not usually
participate in any of the activities, rather he enjoys being outside when the weather permits.
R37's Notice of Discharge From Therapy dated 7/26/24 documents a discharge date from therapy of
7/30/24 and lists that the therapy recommends active range of motion on bilateral lower extremities.

R3's Occupational Therapy OT Evaluation and Plan of Treatment, authored by V3 (Therapy Director)
documents a discharge date from therapy of 12/31/2024 with reason noted of Resident reached maximum
potential. Under objective progress/short term goals R3 has a baseline date of 10/25/2024 with a target

elbow extension split to reduce further progressing/development of contracture.
On 1/30/2025 at 11:10 AM, V13 (Restorative Certified Nurse Assistant) stated she was the one that does
all the restorative programs. V13 stated she does not have written programs and she just does what is
needed for the residents. V13 was asked if she follows any guidelines as to how many reps are done on the
affected joints, V13 stated no we do not have any guidelines like that. V13 stated she does see R3 on a
regular basis for range of motion. V13 stated that R3 loves to be stretched out and by Friday he is usually
much looser where he has contractures but then on Monday, we must start the process all over again. V13
was asked how she knew who to see for restorative purposes, V13 stated I usually see who needs to be
seen and sometimes physical therapy will tell me to pick someone up after they complete therapy. V13 was
asked if therapy gave her a plan of care to follow and she said they will tell me what needs to be done. V13
stated she sees R3 everyday Monday through Friday usually, but she has been off sick, and she doesn't
think it was done while she was off sick. V13 stated R3 does not have splints.

Program and was unsure about the MDS. V14 stated he was not sure about the programs and who wrote
the programs. V14 stated he was aware that a lot of companies are moving away from restorative programs
due to financial issues. V14 stated there really were not programs written for the residents and most of the
residents are on walk to dine programs. V14 stated there are only 2 contractures in the facility that she is

in range of motion that R23 has impairment on one side for both upper and lower extremities. Section GG
for self-care documents that R23 is dependent for shower/bathing, upper body dressing, lower body
dressing, and putting on and taking off footwear. Section O of the same MDS documents R23 received 0
days of range of motion and 0 days of passive range of motion (with a look back period of 7 days.)
R23's Care Plan, with a start date of 03/18/2023, documents a focus area of R23's Self-Care Deficit as
evidenced by needs assistance with activities of daily living related to left sided weakness. Interventions
listed include: encourage the resident to participate to the fullest extent with each interaction and
encourage resident to discuss feelings about self-care deficit. The Focus area documents that R23 has
hemiplegia/hemiparesis with interventions listed as bowel / bladder program, discuss the residents'
concerns and fear, and give medications as ordered.
R23's document titled Occupational Therapy (OT) Evaluation and Plan of Treatment dated 09/05/2024
under Musculoskeletal System Assessment documented right upper extremity range of motion within
functional limits, left upper extremity impaired, left upper extremity hemiplegia - patient unable to perform
active range of motion, but passive range of motion within functional limits for shoulder/elbow/forearm.
Increased tone noted in left hand / wrist but 50% gross passive range of motion achieved in digits.
Functional limitations as result of contracture left upper extremity hemiplegia contributing to left hand
contracture risk and reduced ability to utilize left hand.
R23's document titled Notice of Discharge From Therapy dated 10/2/24 documents that resident is to
continue with restorative measures with a date of discharge from therapy of 10/4/24. On the bottom of this
