therapy department. She stated they utilized a contract agency for therapy services and the DOR had been
struggling to get staffing. She stated there were therapists at the facility five days a week but they were
never the same days. She stated her expectations were that Resident #1 was getting therapy five times a
week. She stated she was not sure if that had been happening. She stated Resident #2 recently got
evaluated for PT and OT and they were waiting on her insurance to approve the services.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 04/12/24 at 11:42 AM, the DOR stated she was notified in morning meetings when
residents needed therapy evaluations. She stated she was never notified about Resident #2 needing
therapy until she verbally requested it. She stated they were still waiting on her insurance for approval. She
acknowledged Resident #1 had only received PT three times and OT twice since her admission. She was
unable to give any explanation as to why that happened except, she stated she had been out sick earlier in
the week (04/08/24 - 04/10/24) and since she was the main PTA, PT was not provided those days. She
stated they have a COTA who provides OT Thursdays - Sundays, except they did not come the previous
Thursday - Sunday (03/28/24 - 03/31/24) and was looking into why they did not come. She then stated the
COTA was PRN and did not have a set schedule. She stated a negative outcome of residents not receiving
therapy as ordered could be a decline in physical ability and they would not meet their goals.
During an interview on 04/12/24 at 12:37 PM, the ADM stated her expectations were that therapy was
provided as ordered. She stated she did not have a DON so it was the responsibility of the ADON and the
MRD to review clinicals upon a resident's admission. She stated neither her current ADON or MRD were
working at the facility when Resident #2 was admitted and she had not known she should have been
receiving therapy. She stated her current DOR had already put in her two weeks and she (the DOR) had
been irresponsible with her leadership. She stated the DOR had not been utilizing the tools she had. She
stated she was out earlier in the week (DOR) and did not even notify her leadership to ensure another PT
was sent to the facility. She stated they had already ensured therapists would be at the facility today and
carrying on through next week. She stated if residents did not receive therapy per their orders, a negative
outcome could be they may not meet their goals.
Review of the facility's Frequency/Duration/Intensity of Therapy Services, dated 2024, reflected the
following:
It is the policy that therapists both employees and contractors determine frequency, duration, and intensity
of therapy services to provide to each patient for optimal functional outcomes and expectation of
improvement of quality of life.
