observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to implement its preventive measures and
appropriate treatment modalities for skin impairment. The facility also failed to avoid multiple layers of linens
when using low air loss mattress as manufacturer's recommendation. This deficiency affects all three (R1,
R4 and R5) reviewed for Wound Care Prevention Management.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
