Failure to Provide Ordered Rehabilitative Services
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide ordered rehabilitative services to a resident with multiple sclerosis. The resident was admitted in February 2026 with admission orders dated 2/24/26 for both physical therapy and occupational therapy. Review of the resident’s clinical record showed no documented evidence that any therapy services were provided as ordered. In an interview on 3/11/26 at 10:58 AM, the resident reported not having received any therapy since admission. During a separate interview on 3/11/26 at 10:40 AM, the Director of Rehabilitation confirmed that the resident had not received any therapy services from the date of admission through 3/11/26, despite the existing orders for physical and occupational therapy. This failure to implement the physician’s orders for rehabilitative services for this resident placed the resident at risk for a decline in range of motion.
