Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the residents' pressure ulcers (injuries to the skin and the tissue below the skin that are due to pressure on the skin for a long time) had weekly assessment for four of seven residents (1, 2, 3, and 4). This failure resulted in undetermined wound status and had the potential to negatively affect the healing of the wounds and/or to cause the deterioration of the wounds. Residents Affected - Some Findings: Review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including severe obesity, muscle weakness, and cognitive communication deficit. Review of Resident 1's clinical record indicated she had a pressure ulcer stage 2 (a partial-thickness skin loss that appears as a shallow, open wound with a red or pink wound bed) on her sacrum (a large, triangular bone at the base of the spine), but her sacral pressure ulcer was not assessed from 11/8/24 to 12/2/24. Review of Resident 2's admission Record indicated he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including muscle weakness, difficulty in walking, iron deficiency, vitamin deficiency, and dementia (loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life). Review of Resident 2's clinical record indicated he had an unstageable pressure ulcer (a full-thickness pressure injury in which the base is obscured by soft, yellow, white and/or thick, dry, black, brown dead tissue) on his sacrum, but his sacral pressure ulcer was not assessed from 11/13/24 to 12/2/24. Review of Resident 3's admission Record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including severe obesity, muscle weakness, and peripheral vascular disease (the reduced circulation of blood to a body part, other than the brain or heart, due to a narrowed or blocked blood vessel). Review of Resident 3's clinical record indicated she had a deep tissue pressure injury (DTPI, a serious form of pressure injuries; the condition remains invisible for up to 48 hours and then progresses rapidly to full-thickness skin and soft tissue loss) on her right lateral foot, but her right lateral foot DTPI was not assessed from 11/13/24 to 12/2/24. Review of Resident 4's admission Record indicated he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with (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.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some diagnoses including muscle weakness, difficulty in walking, and sepsis (a serious condition in which the body responds improperly to an infection; the infection-fighting processes turn on the body, causing the organs to work poorly). Review of Resident 4's clinical record indicated he had a pressure ulcer stage 3 (pressure injury extends through the skin into deeper tissue and fat) on his sacrum, but his sacral pressure ulcer was not assessed from 8/13/24 to 8/29/24, from 8/31/24 to 9/12/24, and from 9/14/24 to 10/21/24. During an interview with the director of nursing (DON) on 12/10/24, at 3:30p.m., he reviewed Resident 1's, Resident 2's, Resident 3's, and Resident 4's clinical records and confirmed that Resident 1's sacral pressure ulcer was not assessed from 11/8/24 to 12/2/24; Resident 2's sacral pressure ulcer was not assessed from 11/13/24 to 12/2/24; Resident 3's right lateral foot DTPI was not assessed from 11/13/24 to 12/2/24; and Resident 4's sacral pressure ulcer was not assessed from 8/13/24 to 8/29/24, from 8/31/24 to 9/12/24, and from 9/14/24 to 10/21/24. The DON stated the residents' pressure ulcers should be assessed every week. Review of the progress notes of the physician assistant-certified (PA-C) from Professional Wound Specialists organization where the facility sent its residents for pressure ulcer treatments indicated that the residents' pressure ulcers needed to be followed up, assessed, and evaluated in seven days.
