Centennial Post Acute: Unsafe Discharge Harm - AK

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

Inspectors cited the facility following a complaint inspection completed December 24, 2025. The deficiency carried a harm level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm.

The Director of Rehab told inspectors that physical therapy had routinely been provided on weekdays but was not offered on weekends. He said he believed a physician had been notified of the lapse but could not point to any physician order changes or care plan revisions made during the period the services went unprovided.

The Regional Director of Clinical Nursing Services confirmed it plainly: during the lapse, the facility did not update care plans or modify physician orders for the residents affected. She told inspectors the facility had since discussed plans to hold Interdisciplinary Team conferences to notify residents of service interruptions going forward.

The Regional Director of Nursing said those discussions had happened during morning rounds. There was no documentation to confirm it.

The facility's own assessment, updated just a month before the inspection in November 2025, described its rehab services in confident terms: physical, occupational, and speech therapies provided in a manner to meet the needs of residents. The document noted staff were "proficient with and continue to learn new telehealth platforms."

What it did not describe was any process for what happens when those services stop, even temporarily, and residents are left waiting through a weekend with care plans that no longer reflect their actual situation.

Editorial Standards & Data Disclosure

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.
