B. A manager of an assisted living facility authorized to provide personal care services may accept or retain a resident who is confined to a bed or chair because of an inability to ambulate even with assistance if: 2. The following requirements are met at the onset of the condition or when the resident is accepted by the assisted living facility: b. The resident's primary care provider or other medical practitioner: i. Examines the resident at the onset of the condition, or within 30 calendar days before acceptance, and at least once every six months throughout the duration of the resident's condition;
Evidence
Based on record review and interview, the manager retained a resident who was confined to a bed or chair without meeting the requirements of R9-10-814(B)(2), for one of seven residents sampled. The deficient practice posed a risk if the facility was unable to meet a resident's needs. Findings include: 1. R9-10-814(B)(2) states, "A manager of an assisted living facility authorized to provide personal care services may accept or retain a resident who is confined to a bed or chair because of an inability to ambulate even with assistance if: the resident's primary care provider... examines the resident... at least once every six months throughout the duration of the resident's condition; reviews the assisted living facility's scope of services; and signs and dates a determination stating that the resident's needs can be met by the assisted living facility..." 2. A review of R2's service plan (dated July 30, 2024) revealed R2 received personal care services, and was confined to a bed or chair. 3. A review of R2's medical record revealed a determination for continued residency dated February 28, 2024. No further documentation was available for Compliance Officer review. 4. In an interview, E1 acknowledged R2's medical record did not include the required determination per R9-10-814(B)(2) updated at least once every six months.
