Centennial Post Acute: Quality Assurance Failures - AK

Healthcare Facility
Centennial Post Acute
Anchorage, AK  ·  1/5 stars

The facility's own assessment, updated in November 2025, describes physical, occupational, and speech therapies as central to what Centennial does. "Our rehab staff provide services in our facility in a manner to meet the needs of the residents," it reads. During the weekend lapse, that was not happening.

The Director of Rehabilitation told inspectors he believed a physician had been notified about the interruption. He was not aware of any physician orders being changed as a result, or any care plans being revised.

The Regional Director of Clinical Nursing Services confirmed it. During the period PT services were not provided on weekends, she told inspectors on December 16, the facility did not update care plans or modify physician orders for any of the residents who had been receiving those services.

What the facility did instead, according to the Regional Director of Nursing, was talk about it during morning rounds. There was no documentation to confirm those conversations took place.

The plan going forward, the Regional Director of Clinical Nursing Services said, was to hold Interdisciplinary Team conferences to notify residents whenever services were interrupted in the future. That process was not in place when the weekend PT gap occurred.

Inspectors rated the violation as causing minimal harm or potential for actual harm, affecting a few residents. The inspection was conducted on December 24, 2025, following a complaint.

For residents admitted specifically for short-term rehabilitation, a weekend without physical therapy is not a scheduling footnote. It is a gap in the care they came there to receive, and at Centennial, it passed without a single updated order or a documented word to the people it affected.
