and care for each resident in a manner and in an environment that promotes maintenance or enhancement
of his or her quality of life, recognizing each resident's individuality for 1 of 3 residents (Resident #4)
reviewed for care of assessments.

process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) to be
able to recall information at a BIMS of 15. Resident #4 was not marked to have behaviors. Resident #4 had
functional limitations in range of motion to lower extremity to both side of her body needing a wheelchair
(manual or electric) and used a motorized wheelchair. Resident #4 was diagnosed with paraplegia
(paralysis of the legs and lower body) and Parkinson's disease.
Record review of Resident #4's care plan dated 09/27/23 revealed Resident #4 had paraplegia, required
assistance with activities of daily living and locomotion as required. Interventions were for physical therapy,

Record review of Resident #4's electric wheelchair safety assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #4
was admitted to the facility with a manual wheelchair. Power wheelchair came later and was given to the
patient initially without therapy's safety assessment. Resident #4 was lacking (demonstrating of
understanding of safety precautions, safely maneuver of the chair in and out of obstacles and around
corners, stop in the chair command, checking for clearance before backing the wheelchair up or turning the
wheelchair) in the areas indicated on page one due to medical/physical restrictions and would be referred
to therapy for evaluation and treatment if appropriate.
During an interview on 10/31/23 at 4:19 PM with the Physical Therapist and Director of Rehabilitation, the
Physical Therapist stated when Resident #4 was admitted to the facility the resident was using a manual
wheelchair. The Physical Therapist stated the facility had Resident #4's motorized wheelchair shipped from
another facility. The Physical Therapist stated a couple of week ago, but did not know the exact date, it was
shipped. The Physical Therapist stated Resident #4 had not had a motorized wheelchair assessment
conducted when she received her motorized wheelchair a couple of weeks ago. The Physical Therapist
stated he had conducted an assessment on Resident #4 in which he only used interviews to formulate (to
express in precise form; state definitely or systematically) an assessment for Resident #4. The Physical
Therapist stated he had completed the assessment on 10/27/23. The Physical Therapist stated the protocol
for conducting an assessment for a motorized wheelchair included the use of obstacles to see how the
resident maneuvered around cones with their motorized wheelchair and how well they did with instructions.
The Physical Therapist stated he also used interviews in aiding in the assessment. The Physical Therapist
stated he did not follow protocol in conducting the obstacle portion of the assessment for Resident #4 on
10/27/23 in which he stated was incomplete. The Physical Therapist stated it was because with the
interviews he thought the resident was unsafe and based on immediate course of action. The Physical
Therapist stated he normally did not do a motorized assessment with just interviews. The Physical
Therapist did not indicate why he did the assessment like that. The Physical Therapist stated it was
expected for the facility to notify the therapy department whenever a resident with a motorized wheelchair
comes into the facility or has a change of condition that requires a motorized wheelchair. The Physical
Therapist stated conducting the motorized assessment was to ensure the safety of the resident. The
Physical Therapist stated the risk of not conducting a motorized assessment could be residents getting
their feet ran over. The Director of Rehabilitation stated she observed Resident #4 using the motorized
wheelchair pretty good but did not indicate when the observation occurred. The Director of Rehabilitation
stated the motorized wheelchair assessment was a partial assessment. The Physical Therapist stated due
to the assessment being partial, the facility should have not taken away Resident #4's motorized wheelchair
on 10/27/23 and given her manual wheelchair which she did not want. The Physical Therapist stated the
resident not having her motorized wheelchair was a violation of her rights.
During an observation on 11/01/23 at 9:00 AM, revealed Resident #4 was in manual wheelchair moving
through the hallway.
During an interview on 11/01/23 at 1:52 PM, the Administrator stated when Resident #4 was admitted to
the facility, she did not have her motorized wheelchair and the facility paid to have the motorized wheelchair
shipped over. The Administrator stated when she received (did not indicate when the motorized wheelchair
arrived to the facility) the motorized wheelchair the facility did not conduct a motorized wheelchair
assessment for the resident to evaluate if she was safe to operate and use the motorized wheelchair. The
Administrator stated the motorized wheelchair was taken on 10/27/23 (did not indicate who took the
motorized wheelchair) and she was given a manual wheelchair until the motorized wheelchair assessment
was conducted for safety of the resident.
