Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview the facility failed to ensure one resident (Resident #17) received restorative range of motion (ROM) and ambulation programs per the plan of care. This affected one (Resident #17) of two residents (Residents #1 and #17) reviewed for restorative nursing and had the potential to affect all 54 (Residents #1, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #20, #21, #22, #23, #25, #26, #28, #29, #30, #31, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45, #46, #47, #48, #49, #50, #52, #53, #57, #58, #60, #63, #64, #66, #319 and #320) residents with planned restorative nursing programs. The facility census was 65.
Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #17 revealed an admission date of 03/28/18 and diagnoses of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) hyperlipidemia, heart disease, hypertension and diabetes.

Restorative therapy was provided for passive ROM for four days during the review period and active ROM as provided for two days during the review period. He did not receive any training in walking or ambulation during the review period. Review of the current summary of physician orders revealed the resident may participate with restorative programs per the plan of care as needed (PRN). Review of the care plan dated 02/28/22 revealed a plan for decreased ambulation, decreased duration and unsteady gait to include a goal to maintain an ambulation distance of 50 feet for at least 15 minutes six to seven times per week, and to document the response, distance and tolerance. Review of the care plan dated 02/28/22 also revealed a plan to maintain Resident #17's ROM in his arms and legs by participating in ROM exercises for 15 minutes six to seven times per week. Review of the Physical Therapy (PT) Discharge summary dated [DATE] revealed Resident #17 received physical therapy from 02/21/22 through 03/03/22 for strengthening, balance, bed mobility, transfers and ambulation. The summary further indicated Resident #17 walked 0 feet when he started PT on 02/21/22 and walked 50 feet upon discharge from PT services on 03/03/22.
