This survey cited 10 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to thoroughly assess, follow physician orders, and implement interventions to prevent and/or treat pressure ulcers for 1 of 1 (R78) residents reviewed for pressure ulcers in the sample of 26. This failure resulted in R78's Stage 4 pressure ulcer not being treated as ordered by the physician from 3/11/25 to 3/20/25 (nine days) and unstageable pressure ulcers to bilateral heels not being assessed and/or treated from 3/11/25 to 3/20/25 (9 days). Residents Affected - Few Findings Include: R78's admission Record with a print date of 3/20/25 documents R78 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that include hypertension, benign neoplasm of prostate, and vascular dementia with a diagnosis of muscle wasting and atrophy identified on 2/15/25. R78's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score of 13, which indicates a moderate cognitive deficit. This same MDS documents R78 is at risk of developing pressure ulcers and documents R78 has one Stage 1 pressure ulcer and two unstageable pressure ulcers. The Skin and Ulcer/Injury Treatments on this MDS are documented as, Pressure reducing device for bed, Turning/repositioning program, Pressure ulcer/injury care, Application of nonsurgical dressings, Applications of ointments/medications, and Application of dressings to feet. R78's Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Ulcer Risk assessment dated [DATE] documents a score of 16, which indicates R78 is not at risk of developing pressure ulcers. R78's current Care Plan documents a Focus area of I have pressure ulcer to coccyx, r/t (related to) Immobility Date Initiated: 02/15/2025. This Focus area includes the following interventions implemented on 2/15/25, Administer medications as ordered.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few that was dated 3/18/25. V8 changed her gloves and hand sanitized then cleaned the area that was open with red/pink tissue in the center of the wound and surrounding the open area. V8 cleaned the area with wound cleanser and covered with a border foam dressing. V8 stated that was the only treatment R78 had. This surveyor asked to observe R78's hip and heels. R78's left hip was free of obvious skin breakdown. R78's right hip had an approximate softball size discolored area on the bony prominence. V8 touched the area and stated it was blanchable and stated V6 (Wound Specialist) had seen the area and it healed out. R78's right heel was observed, and the skin appeared within normal limits, but it was slightly mushy when touched by V8. V8's right outer ankle was red and irritated looking when V8 touched the area it blanched. V8 lifted R78's left leg up out of the boot. R78's left heel was mushy and not in a normal heel shape. The heel was indented and appeared very soft. V8 pushed on the left heel and the skin and underlying tissue held the indented shape after V8 pushed on it. V8 stated it was mushy and did not blanch. R78 stated he always wears the boots to prevent skin breakdown. On 03/19/25 at 11:40 AM, when asked to see the wound log, V2 (Director of Nurses) stated she was behind on it. When asked if she had seen R78's pressure areas, V2 stated she had once but she was off sick last week, so she didn't see them last week. This surveyor reviewed R78's physician orders with V2 and they do not document an order for treatment to the left heel, right ankle, or right hip since his admission back to the facility on 3/11/25. V2 stated she would have to review his record before she could give this surveyor any information related to the pressure areas. On 03/19/25 at 1:52 PM, V8 (LPN) stated R78's heels have been soft since he returned from the hospital on 2/27/25. V8 stated R78 had a treatment to his right hip but it looks better since they discontinued the treatment. This surveyor reviewed V6 (Wound Specialist) note dated 3/13/25 and asked why the new treatment order was not followed. V8 stated she didn't have access to V6's orders and/or progress notes. V8 stated V2 (Director of Nurses) usually prints off V6's progress notes and gives them to the nurse working on the floor so they can process any new orders. On 03/19/25 at 4:27 PM, V2 (Director of Nurses) stated she would expect the nurse's to complete thorough assessments and to obtain and follow physician orders. V2 stated she is not normally behind on the wound log but right now she is. V2 stated the treatment V8 administered to R78 was not the most recent physician order. V2 stated she called V10 (Physician) and notified him they had not followed V6's most recent treatment recommendations. When asked if R78's pressure ulcer/injuries had improved or declined, V2 stated she would say the area on R78's coccyx looked more like a pressure and not a shear as it was originally classified, so she would say it had worsened. V2 stated she didn't think the area on his hip had worsened and it was blanchable when she assessed him. V2 stated she also assessed R78's heels. V2 stated they were soft not blanchable and not in good shape. V2 stated the left heel was definitely mushy and could rapidly deteriorate. When asked if R78's heels had improved or declined, V2 stated she wouldn't be able to tell because they did not have a previous thorough assessment. R78's Skin-Other Skin Condition Report dated 3/19/25 documents the following pressure ulcers, Right trochanter (hip)- 6 cm x 6 cm brown discoloration blanchable, not open, no drainage, Right ankle (outer) -2 cm x 1.5 cm reddened area, blanchable, not open, no drainage, Right heel - 6 cm x 5 cm soft, mushy heel, not open non blanchable, Left heel - 2 cm x 2 cm soft, mushy heel, not open, non-blanchable, sacrum- 1.5 cm x 1 cm x 0.1 cm, stage 4 pressure ulcer, scant amt (amount) of drainage, no odor, 100% granulation tissue.

Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 3/20/25 at 9:56 AM, V6 (Wound Specialist) stated when he first saw R78 he didn't have access to the electronic records and his notes fell through the crack. V6 stated he saw R78 two weeks later and put a progress note in the system. V6 stated he assessed the pressure area on R78's buttocks and thought he looked at his heels. V6 stated floating his heels would be the treatment for the pressure areas on his heels although if the nurse wanted it, he could prescribe skin prep, although it isn't really advised. V6 stated the facility skin checks only mark when there is an actual open area and not when it is just red. V6 stated he would expect the facility to implement his orders and recommendations for interventions. V6 stated the area would heal much faster if they followed his current treatment orders. The facility Pressure Injury and Skin Condition Assessment policy dated 11/28/12 documents, Purpose: To establish guidelines for assessing, monitoring and documenting the presence of skin breakdown, pressure injuries and other ulcers and assuring interventions are implemented. Pressure and other ulcers (diabetic, arterial, venous) will be assessed and measured at least every seven (7) days by licensed nurse and documented in the resident's clinical record 7. At the earliest sign of a pressure injury or other skin problem, the resident, legal representative, and attending physician will be notified. The initial observation of the ulcer or skin breakdown will also be described in the nursing progress notes .10. Pressure injuries and other ulcers (arterial, diabetic, venous) will be measured at least weekly and recorded in centimeters in the resident's clinical record. 11. A wound assessment for each identified open area (sic) will be completed and will include: a. Site location, b. Size (length x width x depth) c. Stage of pressure ulcer d. Odor e. Drainage f. Description g. Date and initials of the individual performing the assessment 18. A licensed nurse shall observe condition of wound incision daily, or with dressing changes as ordered.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to implement interventions to prevent falls for 1 of 2 (R7) residents reviewed for accidents in the sample of 26. Findings Include: R7's admission Record with a print date of 3/20/25 documents R7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that include dementia, depression, hypertension, and low back pain. R7's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 2/19/25 documents R7 has a severe cognitive impairment. This same MDS documents R7 has a history of falls without serious injury. R7's Investigation Report for Falls documents the following falls. 11/24/24 documents R7 was found lying on her back in the lobby. The intervention implemented was a physical therapy and occupation therapy evaluation and treatment. 12/20/24 documents R7 was found across from her room in the hall sitting on the floor. The intervention implemented was to check her frequently when in bed and to use a pad alarm instead of a tab alarm. 1/25 (did not document full date) documents R7 was found sitting on the floor next to her bed. The area of concern identified was that her room needed to be closer to the nurse's station and the intervention implemented was bed low to floor. 1/3/25 documents R7 was found seated by a vacant bed. The intervention implemented was a later wake up time as she seeks to get into vacant beds when she is gotten up too early. 1/14/25 documents R7 was found lying on her left side on the floor with her head by the head of her bed and her feet by the door. The intervention implemented was to change her trazadone to bedtime, discontinue the valium, Ativan at bedtime and to offer snacks/drinks when restless.
