**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide dignity in toileting for one of 23 sampled residents (Resident Identifier (RI) #8). The facility staff failed to provide RI #8 with interventions, such as assisting to the bathroom, a bedside commode, or bed pan, to remain continent but instead provided adult briefs for bowel and bladder function. Findings include: Review of the admission Record located in the paper medical chart revealed RI #8 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE]. RI #8 was discharged back to the assisted living and was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] and on 10/16/20 after receiving care at the hospital for fractures. On 04/19/21 at 3:16 PM, RI #8 was observed lying in bed. This surveyor interviewed RI #8 who stated he/she wore a diaper, so he/she didn't have to get up to go to the bathroom. RI #8 stated, he/she had been continent, and it was awful being incontinent and having to wear an adult incontinence brief, but he/she was used to wearing the brief. RI #8 stated he/she knew when he/she needed to urinate and have a bowel movement. RI #8 stated once he/she voided, he/she activated the call button so staff could come and remove the soiled brief. When asked if staff could take him/her to the toilet since he/she knew when he/she needed to urinate and/ or have a bowel movement, RI #8 indicated a lift was now needed for transferring him/her and he/she had pain in his/her affected leg (that had been fractured). RI #8 stated, I put the call light on after I have voided. Then they come and change me. During a subsequent interview on 04/22/21 at 10:23 AM, RI #8 again stated he/she now had a diaper but would prefer to go to the bathroom and was previously continent. RI #8 stated he/she had a bedside commode chair when he/she was receiving rehab but had not seen it since his/her room changed after rehab was finished. RI #8 stated, There is not a bathroom in this room. There were bathrooms located across and down the hall from RI #8's room. RI #8 stated staff had not offered to take him/her to one of the bathrooms in the hallway. Review of the Nursing Assessment, dated 10/16/20 and located in the paper medical record, revealed RI #8 had a current diagnosis of Fall, femur (thigh bone) fracture, pain left femur. RI #8 was admitted from the hospital with an immobilizer on the left leg due to the fracture. RI #8 was non-weight bearing, bedfast, and chair fast. RI #8 was assessed as being continent of both bowel and bladder. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 10/23/20 revealed RI #8 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status Score (BIMS) of 15 out of 15, indicating the resident was cognitively intact. RI #8 was admitted with fractures and other trauma. RI #8 required extensive assistance from one person for bed mobility and dressing. RI #8 was assessed as totally dependent on one staff for toileting. Continued review of this admission MDS revealed the nursing staff assessed RI #8 as always incontinent of urine and always incontinent of bowel. A bowel and bladder toileting program had not been attempted. Review of the Care Plan, dated 10/29/20 and located in the paper medical record under care plan tab, identified the problem of, Incontinent of B & B (bowel and bladder). The goal was for the resident to have no skin breakdown. Approaches were: Provide brief as needed, Report signs and symptoms of UTI [urinary tract infection] . Report s/s (signs and symptoms) of skin breakdown . Provide incontinent care q (every) 2 hrs (hours) and PRN (as needed). No interventions were initiated to assist RI #8 to void in the toilet only to void both bowel and bladder in an adult brief. Review of the undated Total Plan of Patient Care (Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) care plan) located in a binder at the nurses' station, indicated RI #8 was incontinent of bowel and bladder. Interventions such as checking and changing the resident's incontinence brief, going to the bathroom, use of a bed pan, or a toileting plan were not checked as being pertinent. The Total Plan of Patient Care did not direct staff what to do to address bowel and bladder function. During an interview on 04/20/21 at 1:34 PM, EI #19, CNA, stated RI #8 required a mechanical lift for transferring. EI #19 stated RI #8 was continent but wore a brief. EI #19 stated RI #8 used the call light if he/she was wet [urinated in the adult brief]. Otherwise, EI #19 checked and changed RI #8 (the adult brief) every two hours. During an interview on 04/22/21 at 11:14 AM, EI #8, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated RI #8 turned on the call light after he/she voided in the brief, adding the resident knew when he/she was wet. EI #8 stated RI #8 could use a bed pan or be toileted but a lift would have to be used because the resident was non-weight bearing due to a fracture. EI #8 stated, I think at times (he/she) may know when he/she needs to go. EI #8 stated the Rehab Nurse would be the individual to put a resident on a toileting plan. EI #8 stated the nurses could make a referral for an evaluation of incontinence if a new problem was brought to their attention. EI #8 showed the surveyor where on the CNA care plan that indicated the resident was incontinent . Review of the Nursing Assessment, dated 10/16/20 and located in the paper medical record, revealed RI #8 was assessed as being continent of both bowel and bladder. During an interview on 04/21/21 at 1:31 PM, EI #4, the Rehab Registered Nurse (RN), stated the baseline assessment of continence/incontinence (three-day voiding record) was not completed when residents were admitted to the facility. EI #4 stated residents were asked if they were continent or there might be information coming from the hospital and that was the data nurses used when they completed the initial Nursing Assessment (Nursing Assessment, dated 10/16/20 and located in the paper medical record, revealed RI #8 was assessed as being continent of both bowel and bladder). EI #4 stated when the MDS was completed (about a week after the Nursing Assessment) the CNAs and nurses were asked if the resident was continent or not. EI #4 verified there was no evidence the resident had been assessed to determine the causes of incontinence or type of incontinence. During an interview on 04/21/21 at 3:00 PM, EI #6, the MDS Coordinator RN, stated she reviewed the Nursing Assessments and MDS Assessments for continence of bowel and bladder. She stated when the resident was first admitted the resident was assisted to the bathroom with a walker. She stated she thought the initial Nursing Assessment showing the resident was primarily continent was accurate. She stated upon the second admission, the resident had hip surgery and was using the bed pan. She stated in October 2020, the resident had another fall with femur fracture and became non-weight bearing and became more incontinent. EI #6 stated the CNA documentation did not indicate if a resident was continent or not and that this information was obtained from staff interviews. EI #6 verified voiding patterns were not determined and the resident was not assessed for a toileting program or for incontinence. During an interview on 04/22/21 at 12:29 PM, EI #2, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the facility got report from the hospital on newly admitted residents and that was the information documented on the Nursing Assessment. EI #2 verified on the resident's first admission a bedside commode had been used but not on the second admission.

Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to provide written notice of a transfer for one of one resident (Resident Identifier (RI) #31) reviewed for hospital transfers to the resident and the resident representative when the resident was transferred to the hospital; and failed to notify the State office of the Ombudsman of resident transfers. Findings include: Review of RI #31's Face Sheet, dated 02/05/21, located in RI #31's paper medical record, showed a facility admission date of 10/26/20 and a re-admission date of 02/05/21. Review of RI #31's nursing Progress Notes, dated 01/31/21 at 11:45 AM, located in RI #31's paper record under the nurses notes tab, revealed Res [resident] still has had no results from Lactulose on 01/29/21 or MOM [Milk of Magnesia] + senna syrup on 01/30/21 . PC [placed call] to . CRNP [Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner], order received . to send to (local hospital) ER (Emergency Room) for eval [evaluation] of positive ABD [abdominal] x-ray for ileus. Review of RI #31's nursing Progress Notes, dated 01/31/21 at 12:35 PM, located in RI #31's paper record under the nurses notes tab, revealed PC to sponsor . to inform res being sent to (local hospital) ER for eval. In response to a request for the written notice of transfer, the facility did not provide any documented evidence that RI #31, his/her sponsor, or the state Ombudsman were provided written notice of the transfer. Review of the paper chart did not show any documentation RI #31, his/her sponsor, or the state Ombudsman had been provided written notice of transfer. During an interview on 04/22/21 at 12:50 PM, Employee Identifier (EI) #1, the Director of Nursing (DON), stated, the facility calls the family to notify them of the transfer but does not notify the Ombudsman of the transfer. The facility only provides verbal notification and does not provide written notification to families, residents, or the Ombudsman. During an interview on 04/22/21 at 1:05 PM, EI #16, Social Services (SS), stated, the facility calls the family to notify them of the transfer but does not notify the Ombudsman of the transfer. The facility only provides verbal notification and does not provide written notification to families, residents, or the Ombudsman. During a phone interview on 04/22/21 at 3:05 PM, the State Ombudsman (SO), stated there are no records of resident transfers on file from the facility. The facility should be reporting the transfers, but we have not received any reports. During an interview on 04/22/21 at 3:15 PM, EI #1, the DON stated, the facility does not have any policy that addresses providing written notification of transfers/discharges to the resident, their sponsor, or the State Ombudsman.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to have an effective system to identify safety risks related to side rails for one of one resident (Resident Identifier (RI) #11) reviewed for side rails. The facility failed to ensure the correct assessed side rail was utilized to prevent potential accidents hazards. Findings include: Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 01/28/21, Resident Identifier (RI) #11 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included seizures and a fracture of the left leg. This MDS showed RI #11 was cognitively intact for daily decision-making skills and required extensive assistance with bed mobility and transfers. Review of the Care Plans, located in the paper medical chart under the care plan tab, revealed a Risk for Falls care plan, dated 01/21/21, with an approach for side rails up x 2 for turning and repositioning. Review of the Physicians Orders, dated 01/21/21 and located in the paper medical chart under the orders tab, revealed an order for Siderails up x 2 for turning and repositioning. Review of an Evaluation for the use of Bed Rails, dated 01/22/21 and located in the paper medical record, revealed the diagnosis related to bed rail use was CVA (Cerebral Vascular Accident .stroke). The assessment showed the bed rails were to be used for turning and repositioning purposes, due to the resident's balance deficit. The evaluation determined the resident would have ½ side rails on the upper portion of the bed, both sides and that they were recommended to be up at all times when the resident was in bed. In an initial observation/interview with RI #11 on 04/20/21 at 9:22 AM, one full-length padded side rail was observed on the left side of the bed next to the wall. The right full-length padded side rail was observed in the down position. RI #11 was asked if he/she could get him/herself out of bed when the side rail was up. RI #11 stated when he/she wanted to get out of bed, he/she would slide to the bottom of the bed and squeeze him/herself out at the opening between the bed and the side rail. RI #11 confirmed that he/she had not fallen due to the side rails being up. When asked if he/she needed to have padded side rails, RI #11 stated, no. In an observation on 04/21/21 at 2:37 PM, RI #11 was observed in bed with his/her eyes closed and the room lights off. The right-sided full-length padded side rail was in the down position. During an interview on 04/21/21 at 12:29 PM, Employee Identifier (EI) #20, Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA), was asked if therapy was involved in the assessment, for the use of side rails, for RI #11. She stated that therapy could be involved, but not necessarily was. EI #20 further stated that she had told RI #11 multiple times, while the resident was on the rehab unit, not to get up by him/herself without help, but was not aware that the resident was trying to get up without staff assistance. During an interview on 04/21/21 at 3:13 PM, EI #4, Rehab Nurse, was asked how she came to the conclusion that RI #11 needed full-length padded side rails. EI #4 stated that RI #11 had only ½ side rails used for positioning and turning. EI #4 was told that during observations RI #11 had full-length, bilateral, padded side rails. EI #4 stated that RI #11 did not need full-length padded side rails. On 04/22/21 at 2:00 PM, the Director of Nursing was asked for a facility policy regarding side rail assessments and safety. She stated there was no facility policy on side rails however, she presented the survey team with a facility In-Service on Side Rail and Bed Safety, dated September 25, 2017. The in-service did not address identification, evaluation, and implementation of the correct side rail usage, monitoring of side rail effectiveness, or the need for modifications of the intervention, if necessary.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, record review, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure one out of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications (Resident Identifier (RI)# 47) had a medication regimen free of unnecessary medications. The resident was prescribed as needed (PRN) antipsychotic medication without a stop order and without a physician re-evaluation after 14 days. Findings include: Review of the facility's Anti-Psychotic Drugs policy (undated) revealed antipsychotic medication would be used only when it was necessary to treat a specific condition. The only guidance regarding PRN antipsychotic medications was, PRN anti-psychotic drugs should not be used more than five (5) times in any seven (7) day period without a review of the resident's condition by a physician. The requirement for a PRN antipsychotic prescription of no more than 14 days and the requirement for Physician reassessment was not included in the policy. Review of the admission Face Sheet, dated 01/29/21 and located in the paper medical record, RI #47 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included in pertinent part insomnia, cerebrovascular accident (stroke), and dementia without behavioral disturbance Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 12/20/20 revealed RI #47 was admitted to the facility from home. The MDS indicated RI #47 did not have a serious mental illness; however, was moderately impaired in cognition with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 11 out of 15. This MDS revealed that RI #47 did not exhibit any mood or behaviors during the look back period. Review of this MDS revealed RI #47 had not taken any antipsychotic medication during the seven-day lookback period. Review of the quarterly MDS with an ARD of 03/07/21 revealed RI #47 had the following mood indicators: little interest or pleasure in doing things, feeling down or depressed or hopeless, trouble falling or staying asleep or sleeping too much, poor appetite or overeating, and trouble concentrating on things. RI #47 exhibited no behavioral indicators. Review of this MDS revealed RI #47 took antipsychotic medication three times during the seven-day assessment lookback period. Review of the Care Plan, dated 02/05/21 and located in the paper medical record, revealed RI #47 was wandering up and down the hall in search of his/her son. The goals were for RI #47 to be free of harm or injury to him/herself from wandering and for no elopement to occur. Approaches included in pertinent part explaining to the resident what you were doing, providing reassurance, walking with the resident and conversing with him/her, calling his/her family, offering him/her a baby doll, assessing for comfort, encouraging activities, notifying the physician and administering prescribed medications. Review of Physician's Orders, for April 2021 and located in the paper medical record under the physician's orders tab, revealed an order initiated on 03/01/21 for Haldol .5 mg every four hours, PRN was prescribed related to increased anxiety; in addition, Haldol .5 mg at bedtime (HS) was prescribed on 03/23/21 for anxiety. Haldol is an antipsychotic medication used to treat serious mental illness such as schizophrenia. There was no stop date on the prn Haldol order. Review of a Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner Psych Progress Note, dated 03/23/21 and located in the paper medical record under the physician progress notes tab, revealed RI #47 was evaluated for dementia with behavior disturbance. RI #47 had been restless and agitated a few times a week. RI #47 had packed his/her belongings in anticipation of going home. Haldol .5 mg every four hours PRN was prescribed for agitation. The note indicated the resident denied psychiatric admission or treatment. The order indicated staff was to continue PRN Haldol and to use it as a last resort (after nonpharmacological interventions attempted). Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for March 2021 revealed PRN Haldol was administered for agitation on 03/02/21, 03/03/21, 03/04/21 03/05/21, 03/09/21, 03/13/21, and on 03/23/21. Review of the MAR for April 2021 revealed PRN Haldol was administered once for agitation on 4/11/21. Observations during the survey revealed: On 04/19/21 at 10:29 AM and at 10:41 AM the resident was in bed lying on his/her left side with his/her walker next to the bed.

During an interview on 04/20/21 at 1:42 PM, EI #19 Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA), stated RI #47 had removed Wanderguard (alarm system to help protect residents from elopement out specific doors) bracelet by cutting it off with a butter knife. EI #19 stated the resident walked back and forth in the unit and tried to elope by trying to push open the door. EI #19 stated this behavior had decreased and did not occur much anymore. During an interview on 04/22/21 at 10:37 AM, EI #18 CNA, stated RI #47 had moments of agitation; the resident exhibited behaviors of wanting to call his/her kids to take him/her home. During an interview on 04/20/21 at 2:15 PM, EI #12, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated RI #47 was on hospice for a diagnosis of cerebrovascular accident (stroke). EI #12 stated RI #47 had a hard time adjusting and could not understand why his/her family put him/her in the facility. EI #12 stated RI #47 had three sons who tried to keep the resident at home. EI #12 stated RI #47 slept a lot during the day and was up at night with sundowning behavior which made it difficult for them to care for the resident. EI #12 stated within the past month RI #47 had started to settle down, indicating RI #47 used to go to door and try to get out repeatedly. EI #12 stated that the antipsychotic medication had been necessary because the resident became so exhausted from the distress, walking and trying to find a way out, RI #47 needed to rest. EI #12 reviewed the Haldol order in the record and verified there was no stop date for the PRN medication. During an interview on 04/22/21 10:56 AM, EI #8, a LPN, stated that on 03/01/21, RI #47 was prescribed Haldol every four hours, to be administered PRN.

EI #22 stated, for RI #47, the April 2021 drug regimen review had not been completed as of 04/22/21.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Review of the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 03/28/21, revealed RI #73 had diagnoses which included a fracture of the left ankle and hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body). In addition, the assessment indicated RI #73 was cognitively intact for daily decision-making skills and required extensive assistance from one staff person for transfers and ambulation. During an initial resident observation and interview on 04/19/21 at 11:03 AM, RI #73 was observed to be seated in a wheelchair in his/her room. The resident's left arm/hand was resting in his/her lap with the two middle fingers observed to be contracted (a condition of shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, or other tissue, often leading to deformity and rigidity of joints.). No splint or brace was observed on the hand. During the interview on 04/19/21 at 11:03 AM, RI #73 was asked if he/she had a brace or splint for his/her hand. RI #73 stated yes, he/she had one in 2010 when he/she was at home, however had not used the splint since admission to the facility in 2018. RI #73 was asked if he/she received any restorative therapy (a form of physical therapy designed to restore or maintain function) while at the facility. RI #73 stated he/she had physical therapy for his/her ankle, upon admission, but when he/she was discharged from therapy, nursing was to walk with him/her. RI #73 further stated that someone would walk with him/her on occasion. RI #73 answered, yes when asked if he/she felt that his/her ability to use his/her arm or walk had declined. A review of RI #73's current care plan, with an admit date of 05/11/18, did not show specific interventions, exercises and/or restorative therapy, to maintain or improve the resident's range of motion [ROM]. During an interview on 04/21/21 at 10:50 AM, EI # 4, Rehab Nurse, was asked about the process when a resident was discharged from physical therapy and started their maintenance program. EI #4 stated that once therapy was completed, the therapist would set up a plan, called an FMP. EI# 4 stated that she would go through the plan within the first two weeks, put the exercises on the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) sheets for the nurse assistants who would be responsible to perform the exercises and document this on the residents' daily ADL sheets. EI #4 was asked if RI #73 had an FMP. EI #4 stated she was aware RI #73 was assisted to walk by a nurse on the floor however, if the nurse was off duty, then she did not get the resident walking in that day. EI #4 stated, no when asked if she was aware RI #73 had a splint at home for the left hand. A review of the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) documentation book revealed an ambulation FMP, dated 07/30/18, for RI #73. The FMP indicated RI #73 transferred with stand-by-assistance and could ambulate 30 feet with a quad cane (a cane which has four legs for stability) utilizing stand-by-assistance, as this was the resident's level of functioning at the time of discharge from therapy. Further review of the FMP revealed that, .Rehab and/or nursing staff to ambulate pt daily/as needed in room/hallways with quad cane. Continue ROM to right ankle as needed . A review of the CNA documentation sheets did not list the FMP ambulation program. During an interview on 04/21/21 at 11:26 AM, EI #17, CNA, stated, no when asked if there were any residents on the hall who had an FMP. EI #17 was asked how she becomes aware if a resident had exercises that need to be performed and where did she document this information. EI #17 stated the nurse would tell her if anyone needed specific exercises and that she would document this on the ADL sheet. EI #17 further stated that she was not aware of anyone on her hall that required braces or splints or anyone with an ambulation program. During an interview on 04/22/21 at 11:43 AM, EI #1, Director of Nursing, stated that she expected either nursing staff or therapy to assess the residents upon admission to determine their functional needs and to provide care, if needed. 3. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 01/28/21, revealed RI #11 admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included a fracture of the left leg. This MDS further indicated that RI #11 was cognitively intact for daily decision-making skills and required extensive assistance of one staff person for transfers and did not ambulate. A review of RI #11's current care plan, dated 01/21/21 and located in the paper medical chart under the care plan tab, did not show specific interventions, exercises and/or restorative therapy, to maintain or improve the resident's range of motion [ROM]. During an initial interview on 04/20/21 at 9:27 AM, RI #11 stated that he/she was supposed to walk every day, but that it did not always happen. RI #11 further stated that he/she could hardly lift his/her left leg any longer. During the interview, it was observed that RI #11 had a contracted left hand. RI #11 stated that he/she had a stroke in 2017 and had a hand brace at home but not at the facility. RI #11 stated that every night he/she exercised his/her own fingers by opening and closing them with the right hand so they would not stay that way. During an an interview on 04/21/21 at 10:56 AM, EI #4, Rehab nurse, as asked about RI #11's FMP. EI #4 stated that RI #11 had been on therapy services when the resident was admitted . EI #4 stated she was not aware what the therapist had scheduled for RI #11 as far as a maintenance program and there was no nursing staff responsible to ensure RI #11 received restorative exercises consistently. EI #4 was asked if she was aware of RI #11's contracted left hand and if there was a splint or brace for the resident. EI #4 stated she was not aware of any contracture or splint. A review of the CNA documentation book did not show interventions or exercises to maintain or improve RI #11's range of motion ability, however, did show documentation that RI #11 had left arm paralysis. In an interview on 04/21/21 at 12:23 PM, EI #20, Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA), stated that she had wanted staff to continue walking with RI #11 as she did not want the resident to lose the ability but was aware that it happened only on an as needed basis. EI #20 was asked if she was aware the resident had stated he/she had a brace for his/her hand. She stated she was aware that RI #11 had a brace, and had repeatedly asked family to bring it in, but they had not done so yet. Based on observations, interviews, record review, and policy review, the facility failed to provide services to three of eight residents (Resident Identifier (RI) #67, #11, and #73) reviewed for limitations in range of motion (ROM) in a total sample of 23. The facility failed to assess residents with ROM impairments and provide services to maintain function or prevent declines. In addition, the facility failed to implement established restorative programs for residents with programs in place. Findings include: A policy for the Functional Maintenance Plan (FMP)/Restorative Nursing was requested. The Rehab Nurse, Employee Identifier (EI) #4, brought a policy to the surveyor dated 04/21/21. EI #4 stated she just wrote the policy; there was no policy previously. Review of the policy revealed therapy staff would give the FMP to the restorative nurse who would initiate the plan as recommended on the FMP. The policy read, After approx (approximately) 2 weeks the nurse will forward the FMP to the therapy department staff member, who will give the FMP to the restorative nurse who will obtain and included (sic) in the activities of daily living (ADLs). The restorative nurse will follow resident's progress. The therapy department on discharge of the resident provides functional maintenance plans as determined by therapist and resident's progress. If the FMP cannot be carried out due to decline in the resident, the restorative nurse will discuss this with the appropriate therapy staff member and proceed accordingly with new goals and interventions. 1. Review of RI #67's paper medical record Face Sheet revealed RI #67 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE]; the most recent readmission was on 01/28/21 from the hospital. Review of the paper medical record Physician Orders for April 2021 revealed the RI #67's diagnoses included cerebral infarction (stroke), spastic hemiplegia, and other specified paralytic syndromes. During the initial tour of the facility on 04/19/21 at 10:22 AM, RI #67 was sitting in a chair in his/her room. RI #67 stated he/she was no longer able to walk, although he/she had been having therapy previously.
