Cedar Crest Post Acute

Review of the Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE], revealed that the resident was able to communicate her needs clearly and required staff assistance for mobility.

Review of the current care plan revealed that Resident 1 was at risk for falls with an intervention for staff to ensure that the resident had a reacher (an assistive tool to help retrieve objects) placed within her reach. In an interview at 1:30 p.m., on September 4, 2025, Resident 1 stated, I haven't had my reacher in a while. I would like to have it.

Observation of Resident 1's room revealed that the reacher was not available to the resident. At 1:45 p.m., Licensed Practical Nurse Supervisor 1 (LPNS 1) looked in Resident 1's room and could not find the reacher. In an interview on September 4, 2025, at 1:45 p.m., LPNS 1 confirmed that the reacher for Resident 1 was a current intervention and that it was not in the resident's room for her to use.
