Someone came from the other facility and picked up his mail and a store brand box (mail item.) He has called several times about his belongings- everything we had was in my office and that was just his mail. The only thing I know he had in his room was a lot of books. He had different shirts on while he was here so I know he had clothes. He was given the opportunity to come pick up his stuff. I had several phone calls with him and would say he is coming on Tuesday and then it would be Thursday. I even called (Social Service Agency) because they had some involvement with him while he was here. I got a call from the police on Monday because he called the police about his stuff. They said he needs to deal with the facility he is at now to get his belongings. It's been over 2 months now so his stuff has gotten discarded.

There is some crayons and papers and stuff in the box- I didn't want to go through all of his stuff. But I called him and let him know it is here. (Surveyor asked about the 3 boxes of books and his clothes) I don't know about those but we found 2 boxes and I called him and let him know.

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 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, record review the facility failed to ensure the prescribed treatment was performed for a resident's surgical wound and failed to ensure medical information was sent with a resident's surgical follow up appointment. This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R2) reviewed for quality of care in the sample of 9. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: R2's face sheet shows he was a [AGE] year old male with diagnoses including orthopedic aftercare following surgical amputation, acute hematogenous osteomyelitis left foot and ankle, cellulitis of left lower limb, complete traumatic amputation of one left toe, type 2 diabetes with foot ulcer, diabetic neuropathy, congestive heart failure, heart disease, dependence of renal dialysis, non-pressure of chronic ulcer of left foot with necrosis of muscle, and occlusion and stenosis of bilateral cardiac arteries. On 12/20/24 at 10:41 AM, V14 (ADON) said residents who are sent out on appointments should be sent with the face sheet, physician orders, and labs. This is the way we communicate care of the resident. R2 was re-admitted on [DATE], he had a follow up with his surgeon on 11/14/24. V4 said he received a call from the wound clinic reporting R2 arrived without any paperwork V15 (R2's surgeon) reported there was no paperwork, he was pretty upset. V15 also reported his wound dressing were not being changed. I don't know why he would think that. Nursing should document when the resident leaves for an appointment including paperwork provided. R2's cognition was impaired, he's not able to answer questions and did not have an escort or family present with him for his appointment. V8 (LPN) was R2's nurse that day and she claimed she sent the paperwork, but V15 called and reported there was no paperwork sent. On 12/20/24 at 11:05 AM, V8 (LPN) said she was R2's nurse when he was sent out on his appointment on 11/14/24. There was a concern R2's paperwork was not sent with him to his follow up appointment. V8 reported she gave it the driver, but V15 reported there was no paperwork sent. Maybe the driver did not give it to R2. I don't understand. Paperwork should be sent out including face sheet, medication list, physician orders and labs. On 12/20/24 at 11:11 AM, V7 (Wound Nurse) said treatments should be followed and documented according to the physician's order. R2 had a post surgical left foot wound. V7 said R2 had follow up appointment on 11/14/24 and his dressing was changed prior to his appointment. On 12/20/24 at 2:00 PM, V15 (R2's Surgeon) said R2 arrived at his follow up appointment on 11/14/24, two days after being discharged from the hospital. R2 arrived with no paperwork which is major problem. R2's dressing looked exactly the same as he left the hospital. V15 said he placed R2's dressing on at the hospital. I could tell it was not changed. R2's alginate dressing which is an absorbate turns jelly and clumpy if it's been there too long and that's how his dressing presented. V15 said he spoke with V14 (ADON) regarding R2's dressing and no paperwork sent with him. V14 claimed R2's dressing was changed, but the dressing should not appear in that manner if it was. R2' Treatment Administration Record for November 2024 shows orders collagenase ointment apply application topically daily to left lateral foot post normal saline cleanse with betadine to eschar area and calcium alginate, cover with absorbate and kerlix daily and as needed if soiled or dislodged one time a day to left foot.
