Review of a physician order dated 05/22/19, revealed restorative therapy was to work with Resident #4 at least five times a week.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], revealed Resident #4 had moderately impaired cognition. The resident required limited assistance of one staff for bed mobility, transfers, and toilet use. The resident required extensive assistance of one for personal hygiene and dressing. Review of restorative therapy documentation from 01/21/20 to 02/19/20 revealed no evidence the facility offered or provided Resident #4 the restorative therapy program for the Nu Step from 01/21/20 to 01/28/20, from 01/30 to 02/13/20, and from 02/15/20 to 02/19/20. Continued review of restorative documentation revealed no evidence the facility offered or provided Resident #4 with the standing marches with two pound weights, balance, upper arm extremity gentle stretching/AROM and lifting and hand writing exercises from 01/21/20 to 02/13/20 and from 02/15/20 to 02/19/20. Further review of the medical record revealed there was no evidence of the facility provided the restorative program for moist heat throughout the reference period except on 01/29/20 and 02/14/20 when refusal was documented. Review of the nurse progress notes dated 01/20 to 02/20, revealed no documentation Resident #4 was provided restorative therapy or of the resident refusing restorative therapy. Interview on 02/19/20 at 1:55 P.M. with State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #450 revealed restorative therapy programs are documented in the resident's medical record. The STNA revealed if a resident refused to participate with the restorative therapy, the refusal would be documented in the medical record. STNA #450 revealed Resident #4 was to be provided restorative therapy three to six times a week. The STNA revealed it was sometimes difficult to complete Resident #4's therapy program because the STNA's shift ended at 2:45 P.M. and the family preferred the therapy be completed after the resident's afternoon nap, which was about 2:00 P.M. Interview on 02/19/20 at 2:15 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the medical record for Resident #4 contained no evidence of restorative therapy being provided for Resident #4 as written in the plan of care. The DON further verified the medical record for Resident #4 contained no evidence of the resident refusing to participate with restorative therapy.
