**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide physical therapy services for one of three sample
residents (Resident 1) as ordered by the physician and as outlined in the plan of care when Resident 1 was
ordered to receive physical therapy five times per week beginning on 7/4/25 but documentation showed
multiple missed therapy sessions.This failure placed Resident 1 at risk for decline in functional abilities and
unmet care plan goals.Findings:A Review of Resident 1's admission RECORD, indicated, Resident 1 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with primary diagnoses of urinary tract infection (UTI, an infection in the
urinary system), diabetes type 2 (the body's inability to regulate sugar levels), acute kidney failure (sudden
onset usually due to a medical issue), stage 3 chronic kidney disease (a condition where the kidneys are
moderately damaged and unable to filter waste products effectively), and muscle wasting atrophy (a
condition where muscles lose mass and strength due to prolonged inactivity or immobilization).Review of
Resident 1's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment tool), dated 7/7/25, indicated Resident
1 scored 15 out of 15 points total. A score of 15 indicated Resident 1 had no cognitive impairment. During
an interview with Resident 1 on 7/31/25 at 9:25 a.m., Resident 1 stated that she was informed she would
receive physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Resident 1 also reported that just recently, another therapist came in on Saturdays and Sundays to provide
therapy. Resident 1 stated that if she does not have therapy, she remained in bed and performed her own
exercises with a resistance band (elastic bands of varying resistance used to add tension to strength
training exercises, promoting muscle growth), leg lifts, and Kegel exercises (exercises to strengthen the
muscles in the pelvis region). Resident 1 stated her last therapy session consisted of sitting on the edge of
the bed with her legs hanging down, performing leg exercises, squeezing a ball with her hand, and lifting a
weight over her head. Resident 1 expressed that PT/OT services were not helping her improve.A review of
Resident 1's physician order, dated 7/4/25, indicated, .PT to address .thera ex [therapeutic exercise], thera

the Occupational Therapist (OT) on 7/31/25 at 1:46 p.m., the OT stated that the physical therapist was not
in the building, and she was unsure if the therapist may be reached via phone. The OT confirmed that
Resident 1 was scheduled to receive rehabilitation services five times per week. A review of Resident 1's
physician progress note dated 7/4/25, indicated, .[Resident 1] has a chronic left upper extremity weakness,
