F 0825
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Record review of the PASSAR Nursing Facility Specialized Services (NFSS) (a request for therapy
services) with the assessment date of 03/09/2023 for speech therapy submitted on 03/21/2023. The facility
was unable to provide any previous NFSS form.
During an interview on 11/29/2023 at 11:39 AM., with the Director of Rehabilitation Therapy said Resident
#1 should have continued speech therapy services on or about 1/17/2023 per the Interdisciplinary Team
meeting. The Director of Rehabilitation Therapy said she was not able to locate any speech therapy notes
or authorizations from January - March of 2023. The Director of Rehabilitation Therapy said she had
become employed with the facility approximately two months ago. The Director of Rehabilitation Therapy
stated she would not be able to explain why these services were not given appropriately. The Director of
Rehabilitation Therapy said Resident #1 should have been getting services because she was PASSAR
positive. The Director of Rehabilitation Therapy stated it was her job to ensure the authorization request
was completed for the rehabilitation services. The Director of Rehabilitation Therapy said when the facility
did not have a therapist, she would request a therapist from a sister facility to fulfill the need. The Director of
Rehabilitation Therapy stated the importance in providing the services timely was to prevent decline in
resident status and to promote a healthy outcome for the residents.
During an interview on 11/29/2023 at 12:15 PM., the DON said she was not able to locate any speech
therapy evaluation, notes or authorizations/orders during January 2023 to March of 2023. The DON said
Resident #1 should have received continued speech therapy services on or about 1/17/2023 per the
Interdisciplinary Team meeting. The DON stated the facility did not have a speech therapist during January
2023 to March of 2023. The DON said the Director of Rehabilitation Services should have contracted out
these services to prevent the resident from going without therapy which could have resulted in a decline of
health status.
During an interview on 11/29/2023 at 03:15 PM., the Administrator said he expected the Director of
Rehabilitation Therapy to complete authorization requests for rehabilitation services. During January 2023
to March of 2023, the facility had several changes in the Director of Rehabilitation Therapy, and because of
this Resident#1's speech therapy referral must have fallen through the cracks. The Administrator said was
without a speech therapist during January 2023 to March of 2023 also. The Administrator said he expected
the facility to communicate that need to a sister facility and/or borrow/contract a speech therapist to prevent
any decline of residents.
Review of Requests for Therapy Services policy with a revised date of April 2007 did not address speech
therapy referrals after the PASSAR recommendations.
