Staff do not ensure a resident is attending scheduled medical appointments
Records reviewed indicated that facility is following and scheduling appointments for residents at the facility. Facility is also assisting with transportation to and from all appointments. Records indicated that facility staff made multiple attempts to encourage resident R1 to attend their scheduled appointments on 03/18/2026 and 03/23/2026. Resident R1 refused to attend both scheduled appointments. Facility staff documented refusals and let all appropriate agencies know of refusal.
