Resident 1, who was known by the facility to
have serious mental illness, inability to care for
herself and an unhealed right foot wound that

own discharge. Resident 1 was discharged to
the care of a taxi driver and traveled by taxi and
bus to a city 70 miles away from the facility with
no arranged wound care, personal care or

On 2/2/17 at 12:39 p.m., during an interview,
Licensed Nurse (LN) 3 stated Resident 1 had a
stage 4 pressure ulcer on her right heel that
required treatment while she was in the facility.
LN 3 stated, "I don't think she is capable of
taking care of herself because of this
schizophrenic [severe mental illness causing
loss of contact with reality] personality that she
has, plus her wound. She won't have proper
care ...lots of potential problems."
On 2/2/17 at 12:58 a.m., during an interview,
Licensed Nurse (LN) 1 stated, "It was about
one to two days before discharge that I did her
wound care last. The wound had maceration
[moist white tissue] around the edges ...0.3 cm
[centimeter, a linear measurement] deep, three
inches by five inches around on the right heel.
Yes it was a stage 4 sore. She [Resident 1]
refused teaching about her wound care ...She
has the mental capacity to take care of the
wound if she tries. The question would be
...would she do it?"
On 2/2/17 at 1:26 p.m., during an interview, LN
2 stated, "Most of the time she [Resident 1] is
in her own world; talking away; soft to loud to
yelling. It don't know if it was safe to discharge
