During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 5/29/2025, the MDS indicated Resident1's cognitive (the ability to think and process information) skills for daily decision making were moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required setup or clean-up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up; resident completes activity) with eating, supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bathing, upper/lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear, and personal hygiene.During a review of Resident 1's Post Discharge Plan of Care, dated 5/29/2025, the care plan indicated Resident 1 was discharged home 5/29/2025.

FM 1 stated FM 1 gave Resident 1 a shower on 5/29/2025 at FM 1's home and observed Resident 1's entire body was covered with bleeding scabs. FM 1 stated this made FM 1 angry because no one at the facility told FM 1 Resident 1 had a rash and FM 1 did not know how to treat the rash. During an interview on 7/8/2025 at 10:53 am with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN 1 stated it was part of the facility's discharge process for licensed nurses to conduct skin checks on residents (in general) prior to discharge.
