F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a dependent resident, at risk for pressure ulcers, timely repositioning and incontinence care to prevent pressure ulcers. R9 is one of 13 residents reviewed for pressure ulcers on the sample list of 16. Findings include:R9's current Diagnoses list documents the following: Dementia in Other Disease Classified Elsewhere, Mild with Other Behavioral Disturbance, and Alzheimer's Disease, Unspecified. R9's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documents R9 has severe cognitive impairment, is totally dependent on staff for activities of daily living, and is always incontinent of bowel and bladder.R9's same MDS documents R9 is at risk for pressure ulcers, and has the following interventions in place to prevention of skin impairment: Section M - Skin Conditions M1200. Skin and Ulcer/Injury Treatments Check all that apply (the following were marked): A. Pressure reducing device for chair.B. Pressure reducing device for bed.C. Turning/repositioning program.H. Applications of ointments/medications other than to feet. R9's Shower sheet, dated 7/24/25, documents R9 had reddened skin on her coccyx and upper buttocks and required barrier zinc cream, which was applied. On 7/31/25 at 2:15 PM, V15, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), stated, I was (R9's) CNA today. (R9) was up for meals and I gave her a shower before breakfast today. I have not done a shower sheet yet, but I gave her a shower. She did not have any skin breakdown. She is scheduled Mondays and Thursday on day shift (for showers). She does not have any new skin issues, or I would have reported it to the nurse after the shower. Her bottom is clear. She lays back down after meals and sleeps. I don't remember what time I checked her last. It was right before lunch, before noon, I think. I did not think she was wet at the time. I did not check her after lunch or reposition her because she was sleeping so well. I am off work now, and need to leave, I can't do her incontinence care before I leave. Next shift will have to do her.On 7/31/25 at 2:20 PM, R9 was lying in bed, asleep, in a back lying position. On 7/31/25 at 3:20 PM, R9 remained in the same back lying position as noted at 2:20 PM. V16 and V28, Certified Nursing Assistants, entered R9's room. V16 approached bedside and asked R9 if she could change her incontinence brief. R9 opened her eyes and smiled. V16 and V28, CNAs, washed their hands and donned gloves. V16 and V28, CNAs, stood on opposite sides of the bed, pulled R9's pants down, and unfastened the tape closure of R9's incontinence brief. R28 tucked R9's brief down between R9's legs. R9s incontinence brief was moderately wet with urine. R9's anterior peri-care was completed using disposable wipes. V28, CNA, stated, She did not flinch, though these wipes are cold. V28 and V16 turned R9 over to a right-side lying position, changing gloves after performing hand hygiene. R9 had deep indentations on her skin from mid-back down to her knees. R9 also had a deep red colored, moist, raw area of skin over her upper inner, right buttock, medial aspect, just distal to the coccyx. The right buttock skin impairment measured approximately one-inch long by two-inches wide. R9 also had skin impairment directly on her protruding coccyx bone, that was deep red in color, un-opened skin, which measured approximately one-inch long by three-inches long. V16 stated, Residents Affected - Few Page 1 of 6 145945 145945 08/01/2025 Imboden Creek Senior Living 180 West Imboden Decatur, IL 62521
F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few It is obvious (R9) had not been repositioned as often as she should be. V28 agreed and stated, We haven't turned her in the hour and a half we've been here (second shift starts at 2:00 PM). I am guessing, it was quite a while before our shift that she got turned last. These deep indentations in the skin don't come up like that unless a resident has not been moved (repositioned) for several hours. It's been lot more than two hours like we are supposed to. The raw skin areas over the bones weren't there before. That one is even open (points to inner right buttock raw, red skin). This did not happen in two or three hours. We will tell the nurse. V16 and V28 completed peri-care and did not apply barrier protective ointment or cream. R10's (R9's roommate) MDS, dated [DATE],5 documents R10's Brief Interview of Mental Status score as 15 out of a possible 15, indicating no cognitive impairment.On 7/31/25 at 3:45 PM, R10, stated (R9) had a shower this morning, early, before breakfast. I am not sure how often she gets one. We are supposed to get one twice weekly. I get mine, unless I choose not to. I think the staff give (R9) a lot of attention, lately, even by the administrative staff. (R9) has been in with me (roommate) for about two and a half months. I have seen some CNA's (Certified Nursing Assistants) come in and change (R9) often. Those CNAs are the same ones that reposition her frequently. Not all CNA's change or reposition (R9) like they should. She (R9) can't move herself at all. Some days she is in bed all day. I have not smelled any lingering odors in our room. I can't say it's because it doesn't have bad odors, but part of that is me. My nose (smelling ability) doesn't work as good as it used to. On 7/31/25 at 3:50 PM, V13, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated she has been informed by the CNA's that R9 has new open areas on her buttocks. V13, LPN, stated she will be down to assess R9s skin and obtain measurement of the open area after medication administration pass is complete. V13, LPN, also stated, (R9) did not have any open areas prior, that I am aware of. No one said anything in report. I would have thought that would be relayed to me. Those must be new. As I told you earlier, other than meals, (R9) stays in bed all the time. I assumed she was being repositioned and changed every two hours. On 08/01/25 at 1:45 PM, V2, Regional RN, stated I am aware that (R9) had new pressure ulcers found yesterday that may have been prevented if incontinence care and repositioning was completed appropriately. We have treatments in place now. The nursing staff are aware they must make sure (R9) is repositioned and changed at minimum every two hours. Shower sheets show she had some redness on her buttocks on the 7/24/25. This should have been passed on in report and monitored closely. 145945 Page 2 of 6 145945 08/01/2025 Imboden Creek Senior Living 180 West Imboden Decatur, IL 62521
F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide timely incontinence care, free of cross contamination for a one (R9) of thirteen-resident reviewed for hygiene needs on the sample list of 16.Findings include: R9's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE], documents R9 has severe cognitive impairment, is totally dependent on staff for all activities of daily living and is always incontinent of bowel and bladder.R9's Current Physician Order Sheet (POS) and Medication Administration Records (MAR) documents R9 was started on an antibiotic and probiotic for an infection.

(New Order) Continue to monitor and treat for UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) at this time. If any other concerns, please notify provider. POA (V11, R9's Power of Attorney/Family Member) Aware. On 8/1/25 at 9:45 AM, V20, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), and V19, CNA, gathered supplies and took the full-body mechanical lift down to R9's room. V20, CNA, stated, I am running late with (R9's) care, and her breakfast this morning. V20 stated she came in at 6:00 AM to work and has not changed or repositioned R9. V20 stated V20, CNA, was running late because The guy (R5) across the hall needed me about 50 times. He is the sweetest. I think he is just not feeling good. I was busy and she (R9) was asleep, so I did not wake her up to reposition or check her to see if she was wet. V19 and V20, CNA's, performed hand hygiene and donned gloves. V19 and V20 were standing on opposite sides of R9's bed. Both V19 and V20 unfastened the side adhesive tape of R9's wet incontinence brief and tucked it down between R9's legs. R19 and R20 continued with the same soiled gloves. V19 held R9's hand and talked to R9 while V20 picked up a washcloth with her contaminated gloves and wiped R9's bilateral eyes repeatedly, to remove the crusted debris from R9's eye lashes. V20, CNA, then using the same contaminated gloves and area of the washcloth, cleansed the sides of R9's dried green debris from the sides of R9's mouth. V20, CNA, left the bedside with the same contaminated gloves and went over to the bathroom, opened the door with the contaminated gloves and looked into the bathroom for an additional washcloth. V20 then went to the dresser under the TV and opened the top drawer and removed a washcloth with the same contaminated gloves. V20 returned to the bedside and completed anterior peri-care with the same contaminated gloves. V19 and V20 positioned R9 in a right-side lying position. R9's incontinence brief was soiled with a large amount of urine. R9's brief had dark yellow and brown edged urine- like rings, and light-yellow urine-like ring, surrounding the darker yellow dried like urine. V19 and V20 stated they did not hear anything from night CNA's about when R9 was last changed. Often night staff just leaves when they see day shift come in, and don't give report. R9 had a waterproof-like wound dressings on her coccyx. R9's back, upper thighs, and bilateral buttocks had deep indentations in the skin. V20 completed R9's incontinence care and removed the soiled gloves and washed her hands. V19 also removed her gloves and washed her hands after re-dressing R9.On 8/01/25 at 10:05 AM, V20, CNA, stated, I know what I am doing. I give incontinence care all day long. I was just nervous being watched by 145945 Page 3 of 6 145945 08/01/2025 Imboden Creek Senior Living 180 West Imboden Decatur, IL 62521
F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm you. I always wash my hands and use clean gloves when I do all my care. That is all I can really say. I was nervous.On 08/01/25 at 1:45 PM, V2, Regional RN, stated, The cross contamination during (R9's) incontinence care should have never happened.
