ANGEL'S SENIOR CARE LLC

Based on record review and interview, the manager retained a resident without meeting the requirements in R9-10-814(B)(2), at least once every six months throughout the duration of the resident's condition, for one resident sampled who was confined to a bed or chair because of an inability to ambulate even with assistance and received personal care services. The deficient practice posed a risk if the facility was unable to meet a resident's needs.

Findings include:

1. A review of R1's medical record revealed a service plan (dated in June 2023) for personal care services. The service plan stated "Mobility... wheelchair... bedbound..."

2. A review of R1's medical record revealed a document titled "Approval for Continued Residency." The form was signed by a medical practitioner in August 2022. However, documentation of an examination at least once every six months signed and dated by the resident's primary care provider or other medical practitioner was not available for review.

3. In an interview, E1 acknowledged the examination required from the resident's primary care provider or other medical practitioner every six months during R1's residency was not available for review.
