09/26/25, revealed no documented behaviors to support her refusals to get out of bed. Interview with
Resident #37 on 09/26/25 at 11:30 A.M. and 3:55 P.M. confirmed that she is never offered to get out of bed.
She stated she will ask at times, but no one will assist her. She confirmed she gets frustrated by having to
ask, that there are times she doesn't ask because she is frustrated. Interview with Certified Nursing Aide
(CNA) #140 on 09/26/25 at 4:10 P.M. confirmed that Resident #37 does refuse to get out of bed. But, when
asked if staff offer to get her out of bed, she stated, we probably don't offer to get her out of bed as often as
we should, because of her history of refusing to get out of bed. When asked if the aides capture the
refusals in documentation, she confirmed they do not. This deficiency represents non-compliance
investigated under Complaint Numbers 2590124 and 2564784.
