Summary
A deficiency was identified when a resident with diagnoses including Parkinson's Disease with Dyskinesia, Adult Failure to Thrive, and Chronic Pain, and documented impairments in both lower extremities, was not provided with a range of motion (ROM) program despite having functional limitations. The resident's Minimum Data Set assessment and restorative observations indicated mild to moderate limitations in mobility across multiple joints. During observation, the resident reported that staff did not encourage or assist with any ROM exercises, and the medical record lacked documentation of any ROM program in place. The Director of Nursing confirmed that there was no ROM plan for the resident, despite the need for one.
