This survey cited 3 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow their policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Wound Care, for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) when wound care orders were not obtained and care plan interventions were not developed and implemented for Resident 1's right and left heel wounds. These failures resulted in Resident 1 not being provided wound care for nine days and had the potential for worsening of Resident 1's right and left heel wounds.Findings:During a review of Resident 1's Admission/readmission Evaluation/Assessment, (AREA) dated 5/7/25, the AREA indicated, Reason for admission: Skilled needs, wound care, the AREA indicated Resident 1 required assistance with activities of daily living: bathing, dressing, toileting, and bed mobility. The AREA indicated, Resident 1 had a wound to the right heel and a closed blister to the left heel (no measurement or description documented of the wound to the right heel or the blister to the left heel).During a review of Resident 1's Baseline Care Plan (BCP - a foundational document in skilled nursing facilities, the BCP provides initial instructions for providing effective and person-centered care to a newly admitted resident), dated 5/7/25, the BCP indicated under the section titled, Skin Integrity (Prior and Current Concerns), there was no documentation Resident 1 had any current or past skin integrity concerns.During a review of Resident 1's Admissions Minimum Data Set, (MDS - a standardized assessment tool used in healthcare settings to collect comprehensive information about residents) dated 5/12/25, the MDS assessment indicated Resident 1's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- standardized assessment tool used to evaluate the cognition [mental processes that allow individuals to think, learn, and remember] with scores ranging from 0 - 15 with the higher the score the more intact the resident's cognition is) score was 11 (represents moderately impaired cognition). The MDS assessment indicated Resident 1 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with rolling left and right (the ability to roll from lying on back to left and right side and return to lying on back on the bed). The MDS assessment indicated Resident 1 had diabetic foot ulcers (an open sore or wound on the foot that occurs in people with diabetes [a diseases that affect how the body uses blood sugar], often due to nerve damage and poor blood circulation).During a review of Resident 1's Skin & Wound Evaluation, (SWE) dated 5/15/25, the SWE indicated Resident 1 had a diabetic wound to the right heel which was present on admission. The SWE indicated the right heel wound measured: area 5.0 centimeter squared (cm 2 - unit of measure), length 3.6 centimeter (cm - unit of measure), and width 1.9 cm.During a review of Resident 1's SWE, dated 5/15/25, the SWE indicated Resident 1 had a diabetic left heel wound that was present on admission. The SWE indicated the left heel wound measured: area 11.5 cm2, length 4.9 cm, and width 3.4 cm.During a review of Resident 1's care plan (is a comprehensive, personalized document that outlines the specific needs of an individual requiring care, detailing the type of support, how it will be provided/interventions, and the goals of the care) initiated 5/8/25, with the focus on Skin: [Resident 1] has diabetic ulcer(s) R (right) heel and is at risk for complications related to decreased mobility, delayed healing.further skin Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

There were no interventions added to assist Resident 1's diabetic ulcers in the healing process on 5/8/25. Interventions were not added until 5/28/25 (21 days after Resident 1's wounds were first identified).During a concurrent interview and record review, on 5/28/25 at 4:05 p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON). Resident 1's AREA, dated 5/7/25 was reviewed. DON confirmed Resident 1 had a wound to the right heel and a closed blister to the left heel which were present upon admission with no measurement or description documented. Resident 1's Treatment Administration Record, (TAR) dated May 2025 was reviewed. After reviewing the TAR, DON stated no treatments were performed for Resident 1's right heel or left heel wounds from 5/7/25 to 5/16/25 (9 days). DON reviewed Resident 1's physicians' orders. DON stated the admissions nurse did not obtain treatment orders from the physician to treat the resident right heel and left heel. DON stated no treatments to the right and left heel were documented as being performed from 5/7/25 to 5/16/25 . DON stated, if it [treatment] is not documented it [treatment] is not done. Resident 1's care plans initiated 5/8/25 were reviewed. DON stated no wound care interventions were developed for the wounds to Resident 1's right heel or left heel on the day the care plan was developed. During a concurrent interview and record review, on 6/23/25 at 11:44 a.m. with DON, DON stated a resident's skin should be assessed and wounds should be measured and documented upon admission. DON stated measurements of wounds should be taken when identified to monitor if the wound is worsening. DON stated the resident physician should be notified of the wounds and treatment orders should be obtained and placed in the medical record to be implemented. DON stated a resident with wounds should be placed on the wound doctor (a healthcare professional with specialized training and experience in the care and treatment of acute, chronic, and non-healing wounds) services to be evaluated by the wound doctor weekly. DON stated a care plan should be created and implemented when residents have wounds. DON stated a resident with diabetic wounds to the heels would have interventions including placing a hi-lift boot (heel offloading boot meant to protect and care for bony prominence) while in bed, wound consult, treatments as order, and monitoring for signs and symptoms of infection. DON stated Resident 1's right and left heel wounds were not measured upon admission. DON stated a care plan for Resident 1's right and left heel wounds were not created upon admission, DON confirmed care plan interventions were created on 5/28/25 (21 days after wounds were identified). DON stated wound care orders were not placed in Resident 1's medical record until 5/16/25 (9 days after admission) DON stated there was no documentation of Resident 1's right or left heel wound treatments being performed until 5/16/25, 9 days after admission. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Wound Care, revised October 2010, the P&P indicated, The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for the care of wounds to promote healing. Preparation 1. Verify that there is a physician's order for this procedure. 2. Review the resident's care plan to assess for any special needs of the resident. Documentation The following information should be recorded in the resident medical record: 1. The type of wound care given. 2. The date and time the wound care was given. 6.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a safe and sanitary environment for one of three sampled residents (Resident 2 ) when:1. A low air loss mattress (a specialized medical mattress designed to prevent and treat pressure injuries [PI - localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear and/or friction] by providing a combination of air circulation and pressure redistribution) was improperly installed. This failure resulted in Resident 2 hitting his head.2. The wheelchair was not maintained and could not be properly cleaned and sanitized. This failure had the potential for Resident 2 to be exposed the infection and bacteria.Findings:1.
