Parsons Presbyterian Manor: Restorative Care Failure - KS
The resident, identified in inspection records only as Resident 6, lives at Parsons Presbyterian Manor. She has hemiplegia affecting her left side, a condition that leaves one side of the body weakened or paralyzed, and a contracture of her right hand. Her cognition is moderately impaired. Her care plan, revised as recently as April 14, 2026, was specific: staff were to open and close her left hand, perform elbow extensions, and assist with shoulder raises for 15 minutes a day, up to seven days a week. The exercises, called passive range-of-motion care, are performed by staff because the resident cannot do them herself.
Nobody did them. Not for 30 days.
Electronic medical records covering May 4 through June 1, 2026, contained no documentation that the passive range-of-motion care had taken place. On the morning of June 1, an inspector watched the resident sit at the dining room table, feeding herself breakfast with her right hand. Her left hand rested in her lap, fingers curled inward into a fist. Two days later, two certified nursing aides transferred her from her wheelchair to her bed using a full body lift. Her left hand remained the same.
One of those aides, identified as CNA O, told an inspector on June 2 that she would open the resident's hand enough to clean her fingers and palm during hygiene care. But the resident, she said, was not able to fully open her hand or move her fingers on her own. CNA O said she was unsure whether the resident received restorative care.
CNA M was clearer. Asked the same question that afternoon, she said she did perform restorative care with residents. She said Resident 6 did not receive it.
Two nurses confirmed the lapse. Administrative Nurse E, interviewed June 2, said the resident should have been receiving the passive range-of-motion exercises but had not been. She could not explain why. Administrative Nurse D, interviewed the following morning, confirmed the same thing: the restorative nursing care had not been provided as care planned.
The contracture in Resident 6's hand is the consequence inspectors can point to. Contractures form when joints are held in fixed positions over time, the soft tissue shortening and hardening until movement becomes impossible or painful. Passive range-of-motion exercises exist specifically to slow or prevent that progression. The exercises on her care plan were not a suggestion. They were the plan.
The inspection, completed June 3, 2026, cited the facility for failing to provide restorative care. The level of harm was classified as minimal harm or potential for actual harm, the lower end of the federal scale, affecting a small number of residents.
What the inspection record does not explain is how a month passed without anyone flagging the gap. The care plan was there. The policy requiring restorative nursing care was there, revised as recently as February 2025. Two nurses confirmed the failure within minutes of being asked. CNA M knew the resident wasn't getting the care. CNA O knew she couldn't fully open the resident's hand.
On June 1, an inspector watched the resident eat her breakfast alone at the dining room table, her left hand curled in her lap, her right hand doing the work her body still allowed.

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.
