Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the Facility failed to assess, monitor, and provide treatments as ordered and
notify a provider of maggots for 2 of 3 residents (R1, R2) reviewed for quality of care in the sample of 3.
This failure resulted in maggots in R1's foot wound. that R1 described as giving her the heeby jeebies.
Using a reasonable person concept, maggots in a wound would cause a person to feel shame,
embarrassment, anxiety, and uncleanliness for this profound, disturbing experience of parasites in a
wound.1-R1's Face Sheet documents R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including
paraplegia, acquired absence of right leg above the knee, and pressure ulcer of left heel.R1's Minimum

three stage 3 pressure ulcers that were present on admission.R1's Care Plan initiated 6/30/24 documents

AM, R1 stated, I've had maggots in my wounds twice here. That (V5) didn't know how to do a dressing
(correctly). I told her to cover up my toes good, but she didn't, and that's what happened. They were all over
my foot and moving around. I told her to get them out of there. It gave me the heeby jeebies. R1 stated V5
removed the maggots, but did not send her to the hospital. On 9/3/25 at 9:35 AM, V7, Wound Nurse
Practitioner (NP), stated she was not aware of R1 having maggots in her wound and would have expected
the Facility to notify her, if that were the case. She stated R1 goes out to smoke frequently, and dressing
changes can prevent maggots. The general procedure is to remove the maggots and send the resident to
the hospital.2-R2's Face Sheet documents R2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including quadriplegia, contracture of upper arm muscle, and acquired absence of right and left legs above
