Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must
establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that grievances were identified, documented, and
addressed in accordance with facility policy. This applies to 1 of 4 residents (R1) reviewed for
grievances.The Findings Include: Review of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) showed that R1, a [AGE]
year-old male, was admitted to the facility on [DATE], from a hospital following a fall. R1's documented
diagnoses included, but were not limited to: dementia, repeated falls, ataxia, muscle wasting, lack of
coordination, type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cirrhosis,
protein-calorie malnutrition, and depression. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], identified R1 as
having moderately impaired cognition and requiring substantial to maximum assistance with activities of
daily living (ADLs).An admission skin assessment dated [DATE], documented the following impairments:
-Left elbow skin tear measuring 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm x 0.1 cm with 100% bright pink tissue and light serous
drainage -Deep tissue injury (DTI) to sacrum measuring 3.0 cm x 2.5 cm with 100% dark maroon tissue
--Bruise to left hip measuring 2 cm x 2 cm x 0 cmFurther initial assessment observations by the Wound
Nurse (V3) included: -multiple bruises to upper arms, lower legs, right chest, right foot, and ankle; edema in
the upper arms; scabbing to the right knee and anterior lower leg. Facility-acquired skin tears were
documented as follows: -Left shoulder - Identified August 1,2025 : measured 2 cm x 0.1 cm -Right shoulder
- Identified August 1,2025 : measured 1.45 cm x 1.0 cm x 0.1 cm -Right forearm - Identified August 4,2025:
measured 15 cm x 13 cm x 0.1 cm with light bloody drainage. -Lesion to top of head - Identified August
1,2025: measured 0.5 cm x 0 cm with scant serosanguinous drainage and 100% slough/necrotic tissue.On
August 20, 2025, at 2:30 P.M., the Wound Care Nurse (V4) stated that she performed a dressing change on
the right forearm wound on August 6, 2025 at approximately 6:45 A.M. She observed significant bloody
drainage and used four ABD pads and Kerlix wrap for coverage. However, she did not notify the physician
or Nurse Practitioner (V6) despite the change in wound status.On August 20, 2025, at 12:22 P.M., V8
(Social Service Director) stated that V7 (R1's spouse) had voiced concerns regarding poor wound care on
August 4, 2025, citing dried blood leaking through R1's shirt. V7 subsequently requested R1's transfer to
another facility. V8 acknowledged that she did not report this grievance to either the Administrator (V1) or
the Assistant Director of Nursing (V2).During a phone interview on August 20, 2025, at 1:00 P.M., V7
stated: They butchered my husband. what they called a ‘skin tear' was a huge wound, bleeding, and
extending from the wrist almost to the elbow. No one told me how bad it was until I saw it at the other
facility. He was immediately sent to the hospital and is now in hospice.Review of the facility's grievance
documentation showed no record that V7's concerns were reported, investigated, or resolved.On August
20, 2025, at 4:40 P.M., both the Administrator (V1) and the Assistant Director of Nursing (V2) confirmed
that they had not received any report of a grievance related to R1's wound care from V8 or other facility
staff.Review of the

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 provide treatment for a skin tear as ordered by the
physician. The facility also failed to reassess a worsening skin impairment, did not notify the physician of its
changes to ensure timely and appropriate interventions, and lacked a care plan outlining specific
interventions to manage multiple skin impairments.This applies to 1 of 4 residents (R1) reviewed for skin
impairments. The Findings Include:The Electronic Medical record (EMR) showed that R1, a [AGE] year-old
male admitted to the facility on [DATE], from a hospital following a fall. R1's diagnoses included, but were
not limited to, dementia, repeated falls, ataxia, muscle wasting, lack of coordination, type 2 diabetes
mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cirrhosis, protein-calorie malnutrition, and
depression.The Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], identified R1 as having moderately impaired
cognition and requiring substantial to maximum assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs).The
admission skin assessment dated [DATE] documented the following skin impairments: 1) Left elbow skin
tear measuring 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm x 0.1 cm with 100% bright pink tissue and light serous drainage. Treatment
Order: Cleanse with normal saline, pat dry, apply Adaptic and dry dressing three times per week (M/W/F).
2) Deep tissue injury (DTI) to sacrum measuring 3.0 cm x 2.5 cm with 100% dark maroon tissue. Treatment
Order: Cleanse with saline, pat dry, apply Venelex and dry dressing daily. 3) Bruise to left hip measuring 2
cm x 2 cm x 0 cm.Review further of the initial assessment showed that additional observations by the
Wound Nurse (V3) on admission included multiple bruises to the upper arms, lower legs, right chest, right
foot and ankle, edema in the upper arms, and scabbing to the right knee and anterior lower leg.Subsequent
wound records showed R1's facility-acquired skin tears as follows: 1) Left shoulder (identified August
1,2025): 2 cm x 0.1 cm. 2) Right shoulder (identified August 1,2025): 1.45 cm x 1.0 cm x 0.1 cm. 3) Right
forearm (identified August 4,2025): 15 cm x 13 cm x 0.1 cm with light bloody drainage. Treatment Order:
Adaptic dressing, ABD pads, Kerlix wrap, 3x/week (M/W/F) 4) Lesion to top of head (identified August 1,
2025): 0.5 cm x 0 cm, with scant serosanguinous drainage and 100% slough/necrotic tissue. The
manufacturer specification for the ABD showed that this kind of dressing (Army Battle Dressing) is a type of
wound dressing used to absorb fluids from large or heavily draining wounds. During a group interview on
August 20, 2025, at 2:30 P.M., with the Assistant Director of Nursing (V2), Wound Care Coordinator (V5),
and Wound Nurses (V3 and V4), the following information was obtained: -V3 said that while she observed
the wounds on admission, she did not notify the physician or obtain specific orders. Instead, she
implemented standard treatment protocols. -V4 stated she performed a dressing change on the right
forearm wound on August 6, 2025, at approximately 6:45 A.M. She noted significant bloody drainage and
used four ABD pads and Kerlix wrap for coverage. Despite observing increased drainage, V4 did not notify
the physician or Nurse Practitioner (V6). -V2, V3, and V5 confirmed there was no documentation of
treatment on August 4, 2025, when the right forearm skin tear was first identified. The also validated that
their facility protocol was to document provided treatment into the ETAR (Electronic Treatment
Administration Record). Review of the ETAR for the month of August 4,2025, wound notes, and progress
notes for showed no documentation of treatment being administered to R1's right forearm skin tear on
August 4, 2025.The care plan dated July 21, 2025, lacked specific interventions to address R1's fragile skin
or prevent further deterioration of skin integrity, despite multiple skin injuries and diagnoses increasing risk
for skin breakdown.On August 20,2025 at 12:22 P.M., V8 said that V7 (R1's spouse) reported concerns to
regarding poor wound care and draining wounds on August 4,2025. V8 said that V7 noted a dried blood that
leaked through R1's shirt. As a result, V7 requested a transfer to another

facility.In a phone interview on August 20, 2025, at 1:00 P.M., V7 stated: They butchered my husband. what
they called a ‘skin tear' was a huge wound, bleeding, and extending from the wrist almost to the elbow. No
one told me how bad it was until I saw it at the other facility. He was immediately sent to the hospital and is
now in hospice.On August 20,2025 at 1:05 P.M., V9 and V10 (Admissions and Executive Director at the
receiving facility), R1 arrived on August 6, 2025, around noontime, was assessed by nurse (V11), and
transferred to the hospital via 911 due to deep wounds and significant pain.On August 21,2025 at 6:30
P.M., V11 said that when she immediately assessed R1 upon arrival to their facility. V11 said that V7 was
present during the assessment. V11 described that R1 was a poor historian, now aware of what happened
to his impaired skin integrity. V11 said she noted that R1's large bandage wrapped around R1's forearm
that had extended from the wrist to the elbow. V11 said that the outer bandage was a mixed of saturated
dried and fresh red blood drainage. V11 said she used approximately 200 cc of normal saline to ensure that
when primary dressing be removed, there would be easy to remove without compromising what was under
the dressing. V11 said that she noted multiple ABD pads, and a mesh like dressing that was embedded to
the skin tissue to a deep wound on the right forearm. V11 describe the wound an approximated size from
wrist to the elbow. V11 added that aside from the multiple dressing to shoulders, R1's extremities were with
scattered bruises and note especially the left middle finger that extend to the elbow. V11 said that R1 was
retracting his arm when the dressing was removed, whimpering of pain. V11 said she was not able to open
other dressing and R1 was send via 911 for further evaluation of the large weeping wounds and pain.The
documentation dated August 8,2025 entered by V11 validated V11's statement. The Hospital ED
(Emergency Department) report dated August 6,2025 showed that R1 was noted with diffuse bruising and
swelling in upper and lower extremities; multiple skin tears to right forearm and with significant bruising ;
upper and lower patchy bruising diffused around trunk. On August 20,2025, V6 (Facility's Nurses
Practitioner) stated that she was not notified that it was a large wound and not a skin tear. V6 added that a
skin tear was non-significant since it was superficial, but a weeping, draining large wound need further
evaluation and treatment. V11 added that should she been notified, R1 would have been sent out for further
evaluation and treatment of wounds to prevent complication such as infection.
