Review of the care plan dated 05/07/25 documented Resident #31 had skin impairment as follows:
Pressure ulcer to Sacrum Stage 3. She received in-house dialysis on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays,
chair time at 9 AM.
On 06/03/25 at 10:34 AM, during an interview with Resident #31, she stated, She had acquired wounds;
she stayed in the dialysis chair for too long, for about 4 hours, and the chair was hard. She had complained
to the dialysis center and the facility about the chair; she needed a cushion.
A subsequent interview was held with Resident #31 on 06/05/25 at 12:08 PM. She voiced yesterday (on
06/04/25) that she went to dialysis. There was no cushion on the chair, so it felt uncomfortable, and she was
in pain. Someone at the dialysis center placed a pillow on the chair, and it felt better.
On 06/06/25 at 7:18 AM, an interviewwas conducted with the wound care nurse (WCN). She voiced that
Resident #31 was admitted with a deep tissue injury of the sacrum. When inquired about the dialysis chair,
she said she had heard somebody saying the dialysis residents were complaining about the chair not being
comfortable; was unsure which residents had complained, and was uncertain if it was Resident #31. During
the interview, the dialysis chair was observed positioned across the resident room in the hallway>. It was
a recliner-type chair with no cushion.
At 7:25 AM, the WCN spoke with Resident #31 and asked the resident about the dialysis chair. Resident
#31 informed her it was uncomfortable; hard to sit on; and she had been complaining about the chair.
At 7:27 AM, while further discussing the dialysis chair, the Rehab Director joined the conversation and
stated, They had tried putting the roho cushion on the dialysis chair, but the resident didn't like it in there
and the roho has made it more uncomfortable for her. The Rehab Director stated, We can put a cushion in
there, we can try it, we have plenty of cushions if she has issues, we can remove it.
At 7:29 AM, the Rehab Director placed a cushion on the chair, and stated the resident had brought her own
cushion in. We discussed it in the Interdisciplinary meeting.
At 7:32 AM, another interview was conducted with Resident #31 who stated, She brought a cushion for the
wheelchair, only for the wheelchair, not the dialysis chair. During this conversation with Resident #31, her
roommate (Resident #344) interjected and stated, Miss, the dialysis chair is uncomfortable; it hurts; I am a
dialysis patient as well, today I got to go to dialysis, and I am worried, I am freaking out because I have to
sit in that chair.
On 06/06/25 at 9:38 AM, during an encounter with the Rehab Director, she said, I think I may have misled
you earlier when we spoke; and there was not a formal trial conducted by therapy regarding the

dialysis chair. She advised the surveyor to go to her office for an additional interview and explained that
yesterday, during the interdisciplinary meeting, somebody mentioned the residents said the dialysis chair
was uncomfortable, and that's when it was brought to her attention. She further explained that she had just
found out Resident #31 said she had tried the roho cushion in the dialysis chair and it was uncomfortable,
so she had taken it upon herself to buy another cushion. The Rehab Director stated if we're going to have
residents with sacral wounds going to dialysis that are in those types of chairs that don't seem to provide
cushion for the wounds, the we need a roho cushion for the chair or a wound-appropriate chair with
cushions. If somebody had brought the concern sooner to her attention, she would have jumped on it right
away and addressed it.
On 06/06/25 at 10:26 AM, an interview was conducted with the Social Worker and the Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON). Thhe ADON revealed that since March 2025, the facility has started to provide in-house
dialysis. This week, Resident #31 complained about the uncomfortable dialysis chair, which was discussed
with the interdisciplinary team on Monday. The ADON stated she ahd mentioned it to the dialysis staff, and
they said that's what they had. When asked, if the team or designated member wrote up a grievance and
how they addressed Resident #31's concern when they found out about it, the ADON and the social worker
acknowledged that a grievance should have been started to better address this concern, but they couldn't
convey how Resident #31's concern was addressed.
On 06/06/25 at 10:36 AM, an interview was conducted with Staff E, the Director of the Dialysis Center, who
voiced that last week Friday (05/30/25), Resident #31 voiced the dialysis chair was uncomfortable, was too
hard, and after speaking to her, she adjusted her chair but did not put a cushion. On Wednesday
(06/04/25), Resident #31 complained about the chair again sand he provided a pillow. She stated, today
she urged her to put a cushion that she finds most comfortable to sit on, in the dialysis chair before coming
to dialysis. She stated the resident received dialysis for 3 hours and 45 minutes. She stated that when
Resident #31 initially complained of pain, she thought it was because she woke up too early for dialysis, so
she changed her dialysis chair time to noon, and then she found out the pain was related to the chair. Staff
E stated, We need more support / cushion for the chair.
2. Record review revealed Resident #344 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the baseline
care plan dated 05/30/25 revealed Resident #344 had the potential for skin impairment / pressure ulcers
related to impaired mobility and a diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus. The intervention included
Pressure-reducing cushions for the wheelchair.
Review of the admission progress notes dated 05/29/25, at 3:41 PM, doicumented Resident #344 was
admitted to the facility from the hospital, as being alert and oriented times 3. The BIMS score was
documented as 15 indicating Resident #344 was cognitively intact.
On 06/03/25 at 10:40 AM, an interview was held with Resident #344, who stated, Her only concern was
regarding the dialysis chair. It is very uncomfortable, very hard. She sat in the chair for three and a half
hours. They need to have a better chair. It's so uncomfortable to sit in the chair. It hurts her back. She
receives in-house dialysis. She spoke to the dialysis center about the chair.
On 06/06/25 at 9:32 AM, reviews of the grievance log lacked documented concerns relating to Resident
#31 and #344.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that physician visit notes were made
part of the residents' records for 1 of 1 sampled resident who voiced concerns regarding physician
services, Resident #9.
The findings included:
Record review revealed Resident #9 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of
Hypertension. The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, conducted on 03/31/25, included a
Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, which indicated that the resident was cognitively
intact.
Clinical record review indicated that the Advanced Practitioner Registered Nurse (APRN) visited Resident
#9 on the following dates: 03/26/25; 03/27/25; 04/02/25; 05/09/25; 05/19/25; and 05/29/25. There was no
documented evidence of the attending physician visiting Resident #9 at the facility.
On 06/03/25 at 10:55 AM, an interview was initiated with Resident #9. She said that she had been at the
facility for approximately three months and had not seen the attending physician. She had only been seen
by the APRN. She stated, My legs are discolored. No one can tell me what is wrong with them; this
morning, I had to call my primary doctor to make an appointment. Resident #9 was visibly upset. At 11:00
AM, the APRN abruptly entered the room during the surveyor's interview with the resident. Resident #9
immediately showed her legs and inquired about the discoloration. The APRN dismissed her concerns,
stating, Someone else will address that, and left the room, promising to return later.
On 06/05/25 at 10:43 AM, an interview was conducted with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON).
When asked about physician visits and the frequency with which the attending physician visits the
residents, she stated that he comes every day, possibly two to three times a week, but admitted she was
unsure. She left to consult the Regional Nurse Consultant for clarification. At 11:02 AM, the ADON returned
with the Regional Nurse Consultant. When asked how often residents should be seen by the attending
physicians, the consultant replied that they should be seen every 30 days for the first 90 days and then
every 60 days thereafter, allowing for a 10-day grace period and visits as needed. She added that the
APRN could alternate visits with the physician. Upon admission, the physician is required to see the
residents. When asked who was responsible for ensuring that physician visits were completed, the Regional
Nurse Consultant stated that the clinical team leader, the Director of Nursing (DON), was responsible for
reminding the physicians about their visits.
The Regional Nurse reviewed Resident #9's records and noted that she could not find any visit notes from
the attending physician.
At 11:20 AM, the Regional Nurse called the attending physician and placed him on speakerphone. He
stated, I visit the residents about once a month, sometimes more frequently or as needed. The building has
Nurse Practitioners, and the residents are seen by the Nurse Practitioners more often than him. When
asked where he documented his visits to the computer system, he explained that he uses his own
electronic medical record (EMR) as he feels more comfortable with it. He tries to upload visit notes to the
facility's computer system after completing them but admitted he has fallen behind, stating, That's my
deficiency. He mentioned that he has been busy and hasn't had the opportunity to upload
