Park Manor Bee Cave: Resident Left in Wheelchair 9 Hours - TX
The resident, identified in inspection records only as Resident #1, was nonverbal and entirely dependent on staff for her care. She could not press a call light reliably. She could not tell anyone she needed to be moved. And on the day in question, according to the facility's own administrator, nobody could say with certainty how long she had been sitting there.
The nurse practitioner who treated her was direct about what nine hours in a wheelchair meant for a woman in her condition. She told inspectors that Resident #1 was at higher risk for skin breakdown because she could not care for herself, and that sitting in a chair that long made moisture-associated skin damage, known as MASD, a real possibility. "Redness would have most likely occurred," the NP said. She added that she would not have left Resident #1 in a wheelchair for nine hours unless the resident could verbally say she did not want to go to bed. Resident #1 could not say anything.
The director of nursing told inspectors the facility's standard was a maximum of two hours in a wheelchair for residents like her, unless therapy had specifically cleared them for longer. She said residents who depended on mechanical lifts for transfers faced elevated risk of skin breakdown, particularly if they were incontinent and remained in a wet brief throughout. "It did not meet her expectation," inspectors noted, that this resident had been up for nine hours. She said it was ultimately the charge nurse's responsibility to ensure the resident was transferred back to bed.
The administrator acknowledged a gap in the hourly check logs for that day. He said he did not know exactly how long she had been in the chair, only that it was "a good part of the day." He did not believe it was nine hours. But he could not rule it out.
What had prompted the closer monitoring in the first place was a complaint from the family. They had raised concerns about how often staff were checking on Resident #1 and the quality of her perineal care. A wound care assessment following that complaint found slight excoriation, a raw irritation, in her perineal area. The facility responded by implementing hourly rounds, a dedicated check-and-change protocol specifically for this resident.
Staff were supposed to log each visit. On the day Resident #1 sat in her wheelchair for hours, some of them told the director of nursing they had gone in and performed care but had forgotten to document it. The director told inspectors she could only speak to what staff reported. The logs showed a gap.
Inspectors reviewed the facility's in-service training records for the prior sixty days. There had been no training conducted on rounding procedures or the check-and-change protocol that had been put in place specifically because of concerns about this resident's care.
The family eventually requested that Resident #1 be sent to the hospital. The director of nursing told inspectors there had been no change-of-condition report filed before that happened, that the hospital visit was driven entirely by the family. Resident #1 returned within four hours. The family then refused care from the facility and requested she be sent back out to the hospital again.
When the administrator tried to speak with Resident #1 directly, she could not respond.
The inspection was a complaint survey, meaning regulators came to the facility because someone had raised an alarm, not as part of routine oversight. The deficiency was cited at a level of actual harm, the agency's finding that a resident had already been hurt, not merely placed at risk.
The facility is located on Bee Caves Parkway in a suburban corridor west of Austin. The inspection was completed September 10, 2025.
What the records show is a resident who had already been identified as vulnerable, already been the subject of a family complaint, already had a special monitoring protocol created in her name, and who still ended up sitting in a wheelchair for the better part of a day while staff either did not check on her or checked on her and did not write it down. The nurse practitioner said the excoriation found on her perineal area was consistent with what she would expect. The family, when they spoke with the director of nursing, brought up that day specifically, the day she had been in the chair all morning and into the afternoon.
The director of nursing said it was reported to her that Resident #1 was in the wheelchair mid-morning. She did not say what happened after that.
