Broadway Nursing & Rehab: Missing Physician Records - TX
Not one.
The administrator and the director of nursing told inspectors that the nurse practitioner progress notes for three residents, identified in the inspection report as Resident 2, Resident 4, and Resident 5, would all be signed by each resident's attending physician. Then, when inspectors asked to see those records, the administrator and director of nursing said they were unable to provide written physician progress notes for any of the three. They could not produce a history and physical for any of them either.
The facility's own policy made the expectation plain. A physician services document, dated August 2020, required attending physicians to evaluate residents at least every 30 days during the first 90 days after admission, and at least once every 60 days after that. Every visit was to be documented in the resident's health record. Physicians were required to write and sign progress notes. They were required to provide written, signed orders for diet, care, diagnostic tests, and treatment. The policy described health record documentation not as a courtesy but as a core physician responsibility.
Broadway's administrators confirmed the policy existed. They could not show that anyone had followed it for these residents.
Physician progress notes are not paperwork for their own sake. They are the mechanism by which a nursing home tracks whether a resident's condition is changing, whether a treatment is working, whether a new symptom warrants a different approach. Without them, the record of what a physician observed, decided, or ordered for a resident can disappear entirely. A nurse practitioner may see a resident and document the visit, but if the attending physician is not reviewing, countersigning, and building their own record of the resident's trajectory, gaps open in the clinical picture that no one may notice until something goes wrong.
The inspection report does not describe what medical conditions Resident 2, Resident 4, or Resident 5 were living with. It does not say how long each had been at the facility, or whether the absence of physician documentation had any direct effect on their care. What the report does say is that the administrator acknowledged the gap and could offer nothing to fill it.
The deficiency was cited at a level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm, affecting some residents. That classification sits in the middle of CMS's harm scale, below the most serious findings but above a paperwork technicality. Inspectors determined the missing records were not a documentation delay or a misfiled chart. The facility's leadership said the records did not exist to be produced.
Broadway Nursing & Rehabilitation operates at 8223 Broadway in San Antonio. The complaint inspection was completed March 27, 2026.
What the three residents whose records could not be found knew about any of this, the inspection report does not say.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. 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. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
