resident care, resulting in Resident R1 sliding out of the chair and sustaining a fracture.Findings
include:Review of Resident R1's clinical record revealed the following diagnoses: Hemiplegia and
Hemiparesis following non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (muscle weakness or partial paralysis on
one side of the body), Cerebral Infarction (stroke), Osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease, causing pain,
stiffness, and reduced mobility when protective cartilage wears down, causing bones to rub together), Type
2 Diabetes (chronic condition where the body develops insulin resistance and cannot use insulin effectively,
leading to high blood sugar levels), Fibromyalgia (widespread pain and fatigue), and Macular Degeneration
(loss of vision).Review of Resident R1's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], revealed a Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 12, indicating moderate cognitive impairment.Review of
Resident R1's Comprehensive care plan dated December 18, 2025, revealed Resident R1:Required
