What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to notify the POA (Power of Attorney) and physician of changes in condition. This applies to 1 of 1 resident (R1) reviewed for notification of changes. The findings include: R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses which included vascular dementia, schizophrenia, acute embolism and thrombosis of vein, muscle disorder, Covid-19, weakness. R1's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 10/14/24 showed R1 had moderate cognitive impairment. R1 was transferred to the hospital on [DATE] and was admitted . On 12/11/24 at 10:05 AM V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that she could not locate any documentation in R1's medical record regarding the right heel DTI (Deep Tissue Injury). The nurse who discovered the right heel DTI should have documented in the EMR (Electronic Medical Record), called the doctor/NP (nurse practitioner) to get orders, and notified the family. With no one knowing about R1's right heel DTI, R1 could have developed an infection or sepsis, and the skin integrity would not be maintained. On 12/11/24 at 9:42 AM V4 (Wound Care Nurse) stated on 11/18/24 she first noticed that R1 had a black, hard, unmeasurable, closed area to his right heel. She did not call the doctor/NP because it was not opened. V4 stated they kept an eye on it to see if it would open or not. V4 stated she saw the right heel again on 11/25/24, and the area was the same as before, there were no changes. V4 stated she still did not call the doctor because it had no changes. V4 stated they did not apply a dressing or protective treatments to the right heel, they only put socks on R1. V4 stated after 11/25/24, she never saw R1's right heel again. V4 stated R1 never complained of pain. V4 stated the area on the right heel was a DTI. V4 stated she did not notify R1's POA or family of the DTI to the right heel. On 12/11/24 at 3:05 PM V6 (Nurse Practitioner) stated she was not aware of R1 having a right heel DTI. V6 stated the nurse should have informed her of the resident having a DTI to the right heel. V6 stated R1 not having a treatment to the heel could have possibly caused a wound infection. V6 stated she was not informed of R1's elevated heart rate on 11/30/24. An elevated heart rate is a sign of progressing infection, R1 would have needed a further work up, and maybe an antiviral. V6 stated she expects the nurses to notify her with any changes in conditions the residents may have so they can receive the proper treatment. V6 stated R1 did not receive the proper treatment. R1's Resident's Bath and Skin Report Sheet for November 2024 reviewed. The report sheet showed on 11/18/24 R1 had a blister to the right heel (DTI) that was black, hard, and closed.
