8453	THOMASVILLE HEALTH & REHAB, LLC	115427	120 SKYLINE DRIVE	THOMASVILLE	GA	31757	2011-11-10	311	D	0	1	D93G11	Based on observation, record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to develop a plan for the use of splints for one (#7) of 23 residents. Findings include: Resident #7 had a 9/24/11 Occupational Therapy Services (OT) discharge note that he/she no longer required skilled OT services and was provided with bilateral hand/wrist splints for support and protection of joints. According to the discharge note, restorative nursing staff would follow the resident after his/her discharge from skilled OT services. However, review of the resident's clinical record revealed there was not any evidence that restorative nursing staff had provided services to the resident. During an interview on 11/10/11 at 9:20 a.m., a restorative nursing certified nursing assistant (CNA) AA stated that the resident had not been on the restorative nursing program. The resident was observed on 11/09/2011 at 12:30 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. and on 11/10/11 at 8:30 a.m. without any braces on his/her hands and/or wrists During an interview on 11/10/11 at 9:35 a.m., the Occupational Therapist stated that a restorative nursing program was supposed to have been developed according to the OT discharge summary. However, that therapist was not able to provide documentation that it had been done. She stated that the resident had refused to wear the braces most days so, that was probably why a restorative program was not developed. During an observation at that time, the occupational therapist located the resident's braces in the closet of the therapy office.	2016-01-01
