chair and wanted to keep her electric chair covered.
Nurse Note dated 8/11/23 at 10:30am indicates staff told R6 the reason she is not allowed to use her
electric wheelchair is because R6 cannot safely operate the chair. Note indicates R6 became agitated and

wheelchair returned. Note indicates R6 stated that her independence is being taken away.

wheelchair Insisting it be returned to her.
On 11/2/23 at 9:45am V1 (Administrator) stated (R6) is just not safe in the electric wheelchair. She is still
upset, obsessed with losing her chair. Not rational when staff try to explain the reasons, she can't use it in

now for staff to take me wherever I want to go. I have no life now. I'm actively looking for a group home I can
go to. I'm not happy here.
