Record review of Resident #1's Occupational Therapy Discharge summary, dated [DATE] (the same day in which the Occupational Therapy Evaluation and Plan of Treatment was completed), reflected the Discharge Summary was initiated but not completed or submitted. Record review of the Provider Notice of Adverse Benefit Determination, dated 10/08/25 (provided to the surveyor following the completion of the investigation, on 10/16/25), reflected the facility requested for Resident #1 to receive Occupational Therapy Services from 09/25/25 to 11/02/25.

We are missing information about your care (a note including the onset date(s) of the condition being treated). Please send this information if care is needed. During an interview with the Director of Therapy on 10/14/25 at 1:00PM, he stated he had been the interim Director of Therapy since 10/03/25.
