interfere with healing processes.

10/1/23, documented Resident 1 had an elevated Hbg A 1c (a measure of one's average blood sugar levels
over the past 3 months) at 13.3% indicating her blood sugar was poorly controlled.
During a review of the medical records, Resident 1's admission Record documented she was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] from the acute care hospital. Resident 1's diagnosis included: Acute Respiratory
