Inspection Findings

FF0684
Quality of Life and Care Deficiencies

stated a change in mobility should be a change in condition and the MD should have been made aware;

Director of Nursing (DON).

The DON stated Resident 1 was on monitoring for pain and a post fall

concurrent record review was conducted with the DON.

The DON verbalized that from June 25, 2025, to July 2, 2025, Resident 1 was noted to have made a request for a wheelchair because his mobility status had changed as he requested to use a wheelchair to mobilize because he was afraid to fall again.

The DON reviewed June 18, 2025, and June 11, 2025, weekly notes and verbalized Resident 1 did not need to use a wheelchair and was independent with mobility.

The DON was asked to define a change of condition based on this finding.

The DON stated we did not consider this a change of condition because it was related to his fall on June 6, 2025 and that this was a behavior as it was not that he could not walk but rather he chose not too because of the reasons we are not sure but he was walking before and he was known to have similar behaviors like low participation and refusal of medications.
