On 08/27/24 at 3:26pm, V12 (R1's family member) stated, I (V12) went to R1's room at 8:45pm on 08/20/24 and the door was completely closed so I (V12) knocked on the door assuming R1 was receiving incontinence care. As I (V12) looked at R1, I (V12) noticed that R1 had food all over R1 and was drenched in sweat. I (V12) told the staff that R1 was a feeder and had told staff that before R1 even came to the facility. V3 (RN) told me (V12) that V3 had no recollection of R1 having wounds. V7 told me (V12) that V7 did not get a report on the residents. When I (V12) pulled out R1's bedside table I (V12) noticed R1 had no diaper on, just a pillow between R1's legs and it was soiled with urine and feces. There was food visible on R1's face, R1's sheets and even on R1's headboard from R1 trying to attempt to feed R1's self. On Sunday when R1 arrived, I (V12) gave report to the charge nurse about how often I (V12) change the wounds and what I use to change the wounds. R1 had 3 wounds, when I (V12) arrived at the facility, R1's wound to the sacrum had a sponge over the wound that was full of blood. R1's other two wounds were not covered. When I (V12) saw that R1 was naked, I (V12) immediately told the CNA to get the nurse. When V3 came in V3 said that V3 had no knowledge of R1's wounds. R1 was contracted and could not feed R1's self or reposition R1's self. On 8/27/24 at 3:48pm, V13 CNA stated, R1 was a feeder. R1 was contracted. The day I (V13) had R1, I had to change R1 and I (V13) repositioned R1 and noticed a big wound on R1's hip. The area was raw and sore without a bandage, so I (V13) put a dry bandage over the reddened area. On the date of the incident 08/20/24 around 8pm, I(V13) heard a lot of commotion, so I (V13) went to check what was going on. The nurse told me that R1's daughter was yelling about another resident in R1's room and R1 naked with no diaper. I (V13) asked R1 if R1 was okay and R1 said no. At that time, I (V13) noticed a lot of open wounds on R1. V12 said that when V12 came in R1's room that R1 didn't have a diaper on. V12 allowed me (V13) to assist V12 with cleaning R1.

dirty and V12 stated that R1's wounds needed to be changed. When I (V3) came in R1's room, V12 was cleaning R1 and I (V3) didn't see if the wounds were covered or not, the wounds were already exposed. R1 did not have an incontinence brief on when I (V3) walked in the room. The CNAs can always come and ask the nurse about a resident. Rounds are done every 2 hrs. R1 was not able to reposition self. R1 was not able to feed self, R1 needed assistance. The CNA (V7) did not assist R1 with feeding, V7 thought that R1 could feed R1's self. R1's arms were slightly contracted. R1 was incontinent of bowel and bladder. Diapers are placed on incontinent residents. R1 should have had a diaper on. R1 should have been assisted with R1's meals. For all PRN (as needed) wounds, if I (V3) visually see the wounds are soiled or if the CNAs do their rounds then the CNAs would let the nurse know the wound needs to be changed. I (V3) assumed that the CNA knew R1's status and would reposition R1. I didn't tell the CNA about the resident because I (V3) thought that V7 knew what to do for the resident. On 08/28/24 at 1:45pm, V2 Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated, The facility's expectations is that the nurses should communicate with the CNAs to let the CNAs know what is going on with the resident and also a CNA handoff report should be done. The CNA's have to do frequent rounds on total care residents and if a resident is a high fall risk. 5 hours without checking on an incontinent resident is not acceptable; it should be at least every hour. If a CNA finds a soiled wound dressing that information should be communicated to the nurse right away to make sure that the wounds are clean and redressed. Diapers are for most of our residents who are incontinent. Facility's position description for Certified Nursing Assistant (C.N.A) dated 05/01/24 documents in part, I.
