Nans Pointe Rehab: Therapy Order Missed for Resident - VA
The inspection, completed October 23, 2025, was triggered by a complaint. Inspectors observed staff entering the resident's room with a Hoyer lift at 11:48 a.m. to get her up into her wheelchair, more than a month after a standing order had been written for her therapy evaluation.
The resident, identified in the report as Resident 3, was admitted to the facility and received a Physical Therapy evaluation on September 19, 2025, and an Occupational Therapy evaluation on September 22, 2025, according to the Director of Rehabilitation. But the Director of Rehabilitation also told inspectors that when he checked his August 2025 calendar, he found no notes indicating that PT, OT, or Speech Therapy evaluations had been scheduled or completed during that month. The standing order had been written August 25.
The gap between when the order was written and when anything happened is where the story lives.
Staff explanations shifted as the day went on. The Minimum Data Set Coordinator told inspectors the August 25 order was a standing admissions order, and that the therapy department screens everyone who comes in. She also said therapy decisions had been left to the resident's family. The Director of Nursing offered a different framing, saying therapy is provided when necessary and that newly admitted residents are typically evaluated within seven to ten days. She described the standing order as something that would normally surface in daily meetings.
Nobody explained why it hadn't.
The Business Office Manager told inspectors the resident had carried Medicare Part B as her therapy payor source since September 1, 2022, and had been pending Medicaid when she was first admitted to the facility. Coverage, in other words, was not the obstacle.
By the second day of the inspection, the facility's corporate leadership had arrived. At a meeting on October 23 that included the administrator, the Business Office Manager, the Social Services Coordinator, and the corporate Vice President of Operations, the VP did not contest the finding. He acknowledged directly that staff had missed the order.
At the pre-exit interview that afternoon, inspectors presented their findings to the administrator, the Director of Nursing, a corporate consultant, and the company's President of Clinical Services. Inspectors offered the facility an opportunity to provide additional information. No additional information was provided.
The deficiency was cited at a level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm, affecting few residents. That designation sits at the lower end of CMS's harm scale, but it does not mean nothing went wrong. A resident who needed a therapy evaluation had a written order for one. Weeks passed. Nobody acted on it. She was still being lifted into her wheelchair with a Hoyer lift when inspectors walked through the door.
Nans Pointe Rehabilitation and Nursing sits at 200 West Constance Road in Suffolk. The inspection was a complaint survey, meaning someone had already raised a concern before inspectors arrived. The report does not identify who filed the complaint or what specifically prompted it.
What the report does capture is a facility where a standing order sat unaddressed, where the Director of Rehabilitation's own calendar showed no record of the evaluations that should have followed, and where the clearest accounting of what happened came not from clinical staff but from a corporate vice president who flew in after the fact.
"They missed the order to pick her up," he said.
The resident remained in the facility at the time of the inspection.

CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued.
