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,

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
