unresponsive and a stroke alert was initiated, then R1 was recommended for Hospice services. R1's
Paramedic Report/EMS, dated 8/8/25 at 7:21 am, documents that EMS was dispatched for complaints of
foot ulcers with maggots. Staff (V6/LPN Wound Nurse) reported that V6 had started to change R1's foot
dressings, approximately 30 minutes prior, and R1's diabetic ulcers were covered in maggots. R1 stated
that R1 had the diabetic ulcers since approximately January or February (2025) and the Facility changed
the dressings approximately one time a week, and the Facility did not notify R1 of the condition of R1's feet.
R1 was transported to the local hospital ([NAME]).R1's local Hospital Triage notes ([NAME]) dated 8/8/25 at
6:37 am, documents R1 presented with Right Foot and Left Foot wounds and that when the Nursing Home

9/9/25 at 2:01 pm, V5 (Former Infection Preventionist) stated, (V6/Former Wound Nurse) told me that when
(V5) was doing (R1's) Right Foot treatment, that (V6) found a ton of maggots in it. Apparently, the wrong
treatment was also on it. (V8/Licensed Practical Nurse) did the dressing prior to (V6) doing it and put a dry
dressing (Kerlix) on it because (V8) said that (R1's) Right Foot had drainage. (R1) was sent out immediately
to the local hospital ([NAME]) for the maggots, and was then transported to a larger hospital ([NAME]) for
admission.On 9/10/25 at 10:12 am, V6 (Former Wound Nurse/LPN) stated, I came in around 3:00 am on
8/8/25 to do an entire facility skin sweep and around 5:00 am, when I started to do the treatment on (R1's)
right foot it had a dry dressing (Kerlix) wrapped around it. I knew this was the wrong treatment, because
(V10/Wound Physician) had just changed the foot treatments a few days prior, on 8/4/25, to Betadine
topical and leave open to air, so I was immediately concerned when I saw that. Then I began to remove the
Right Foot dressing and immediately saw that the Right Foot was covered with over fifty maggots. Honestly,
I had never seen that before and I kind of freaked out. I have no knowledge on treating maggots and I was
not sure if we even had the right

supplies. I tried to call (V5/Infection Preventionist) but could not get ahold of (V5), because I think(V5) was
still sleeping. So I called the Physician and ended up sending (R1) out by ambulance to the hospital in
[NAME]. Once (R1) got there, they sent (R1) to the big hospital in [NAME].On 9/9/25 at 1:26 pm, V10
(Wound Physician) stated, I understand that (R1) had multiple maggots in (R1's) Right Foot wound a few
days after I had just seen (R1) on 8/4/25, and changed the Right Foot treatment order to Betadine and
open to air because it was dry eschar at that time. I saw no signs of infection at that time. The only way the
maggots would have approved is if they would have been medical maggots ordered by a physician. I did not
get notified by the Facility of (R1's) Right Foot drainage and I did not order a dressing on the Right Foot for
the drainage. The Facility could have called and sent me pictures or used telehealth (video calls) to notify
me of the change. I cannot verify that the wound should or should not have been covered again at this
point. I am not sure that (R1's) Primary Physician was notified of the change in the wound or exactly
ordered the dressing.
