It is supposedly a red flag if you are always using grace days, regardless of the reason.The RAI manual states that it is okay to use them to more "fully capture therapy minutes or other treatments"...but goes on the say that they should be used sparingly. "If the facility chooses to routinely use grace days, it may be subject to review through the survey process, by the fiscal intermediary, or by DAVE." see page 2-28.
