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.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to educate residents on what a grievance is, have
grievance forms readily available in a public area in the facility, and allow a resident to file a grievance
anonymously if desired. This has the potential to affect all 59 residents living in the facility.
Findings:
On 9/30/24 at 10 AM, during the Group Meeting, Residents, R9, R10, R50, R211, all stated that they did
not know what a grievance was, where forms were kept, how to file a grievance and it could be done
anonymously. All four stated that they were interested in having this available to them for future use. R10
stated, it would be nice to let (the administration) know if something was going on without giving your name.
On 10/01/24 at 10:15 AM, V1, Administrator, stated, Residents are welcome to tell staff if they have an
issue. We don't actually call them grievances, more like concerns. V10, Social Services Director, will record
the concern and look into the issue. We do not have grievance forms displayed anywhere for residents or
family to fill out. I never thought about the possibility that they would want to do so anonymously.
The document, Grievance Policy, and Procedure, dated 9/17/19, states, (The purpose of this policy) is to
offer guidance to the facility in identifying, investigating, and resolving grievances reported by residents,
visitors, family members or staff. In accordance with federal law, the facility shall post a sign or signs
notifying individuals of the right to file a grievance or complaint, including the right to file this action
anonymously.
The facility's CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) Long Term Care Facility Application for
Medicare and Medicaid Form 671 dated 9/29/24 and signed by V1, Administrator, documents 59 residents
currently reside within the facility.

On 9-30-24 from 9:10 AM through 12:05 PM R13 was lying in bed on her back with a four-inch raised mat
under her knees. R13 had a four-by-four dressing to the left heel. R13's heels were lying directly on the
mattress with no pressure relief or off-loading. R13 did not have pressure relieving boots on during this
time.
On 9-30-24 at 9:10 AM R13 stated, I was told I got the sores on my heels from rubbing my heels on the
mattress. That sore is painful, especially when the doctor looks at it. They do not put heel boots on me. My
heel boots are in the closet, and no one has been putting them on me. I need them because I have blisters
on my heels, and I know I should wear them.
On 9-30-24 at 12:08 PM V15 (CNA/Certified Nursing Assistant) entered R13's room and stated, I have not
tried to turn (R13) since this morning around 7:00 AM. I do not know if (R13) has heel protector boots or
not. I have worked here since August 1, 2024, and I have only seen (R13) wear heel boots one time. I know
the boots were green. I have not tried to put heel boots on (R13) ever before. V15 also confirmed R13's
heels were laying directly on the bed without pressure relief. V15 then exited R13's room and did not
off-load R13's heels off the bed or apply heel pressure relieving boots before exiting the room.
On 9-30-24 from 12:08 PM through 2:05 PM R13 was in lying bed on her back with a four-inch raised mat
under her knees. R13 had a four-by-four dressing to the left heel. R13's heels were lying directly on the
mattress with no pressure relief or off-loading. R13 did not have pressure relieving boots on during this
time.
On 10-1-24 from 9:30 AM through 10:35 AM R13 was in lying bed on her back with four inch raised mat
under her knees. R13 had a four-by-four dressing to the left heel. R13's heels were lying directly on the
mattress with no pressure relief or off-loading. R13 did not have on pressure relieving boots at these times.
On 10-1-24 at 10:40 AM V14 (Assistant Director of Nursing) stated, I did not know (V18/Wound Physician)
had ordered pressure relieving heel boots and off-loading. I thought we (the facility) were just supposed to
off-load (R13's) heels. (R13's) heels are not off-loaded off the mattress. I will have to educate the staff on
proper positioning of the off-loading device to ensure (R13's) heels are always off the bed. The staff did not
have the off-loading device positioned correctly.
On 10-1-24 at 10:50 AM V9 (LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse) stated, I did not see on (V18's)
recommendations that (R13) needs heel boots on. I rounded with (V18). I know (R13) has pressure
relieving boots in her closet and the staff have not put them on.
On 10-1-24 at 11:00 AM V14 (Assistant Director of Nursing/ADON) removed R13's dressing to the left heel
pressure ulcer. V21 (Wound Nurse Practitioner) cleansed the wound with normal saline and measured the
wound at 1.7 cm by 0.9 cm by 0.2 cm with 10 percent slough covering the wound. The wound bed was dark
red with a small amount of serosanguinous drainage. V21 applied honey alginate to the wound bed and
covered with a four-by-four gauze and tape.
On 10-1-24 at 11:00 AM V21 (Wound Nurse Practitioner) stated, (R13's) heels should be always off-loaded.
The wound on (R13's) left heel was caused by pressure and was facility acquired. I prefer (R13) to have
pressure relieving boots on always.

documents Purpose: To provide guidelines that will assist nursing staff in prevention, identification, and
appropriate treatment of pressure ulcers. Policy: Prevention program including Turning and Positioning, will
be utilized for all residents who have been identified of being at risk for developing pressure ulcers. The
facility will initiate an aggressive treatment program for those residents who have pressure ulcers.
Responsibility: A pressure ulcer is defined as any lesion caused by unrelieved pressure those results in
damage to underlying tissue. Pressure ulcers usually occur over bony prominence and are graded or
staged to classify the degree of tissue damage observed. The staging method is one method of describing
the extent of the tissue damage in the pressure sore. Stage IV: Full thickness tissue loss with exposed
bone, tendon, or muscle. Slough or eschar may be present on some parts of the wound bed. Often
including undermining and tunneling. Pressure Sore Prevention Guidelines and Suggested Interventions:
Positioning device should be used to keep bony prominence from direct contact with each other. Residents
who are completely immobile should have pressure reducing devices to totally relieve pressure on heels
and raise the heels completely off bed.

On 10/1/24 at 1:10 PM, V1/Administer stated that there is no policy about the Arbitration Agreement. It is
important that the resident/resident representative understand what the Arbitration Agreement means. V1
