**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to report an injury of unknown origin to the
administrator for 1 of 3 residents (R2) reviewed for reporting allegations of abuse in the sample of 29.
Findings include:
R2's Face Sheet, print date of 4/1/25, documented R2 has diagnoses including stage 4 pressure ulcer of
sacral region, methicillin susceptible staphylococcus aureus infection, metabolic encephalopathy,
unspecified dementia, stable burst fracture of T11-T12 vertebra, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, atrial

was rough with her during her shower resulting in the skin tear. V16 stated this is the 3rd skin tear R2 has
sustained at the facility since she was admitted on [DATE]. R2 was present during this interview and stated
the CNAS are rough, and I think it happened during my bath. Surveyor observed an approximate 2 inch by

is already off for the day and now her nurse is V10. V9 stated she does not know how R2's skin tear
occurred.
On 4/1/25 at 10:29 AM V10 stated she is now R2's nurse and she did not know R2 has a skin tear.
On 4/1/25 at 11:25 AM V16 stated she found a fresh skin tear to R2's left hand last weekend and that R2

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
The facility's Final Abuse Investigation Report, dated 4/7/25, documented IDPH (Illinois Department of
Public Health) Surveyor in the building and spoke with V16, the daughter of R2 which showed her a
skin-tear approximately a 2 x 2 cm area to the left shoulder area. The information of the skin tear was not
recorded on a skin wound change of condition report. Nurse V10 stated that she was preparing R2 for
discharge to home with Hospice per family request when she noted the skin tear approximately a 2 x 2 cm
with no drainage and no skin flap. Daughter, V16, was at bedside and stated that I knew it was there after
her shower the other day and I took a picture but didn't tell anyone about it and wanted you guys to find it.
V10 cleansed and measured the area and provided a foam dressing to cover. Administrator notified and
due to resident leaving discharging to home after the skin tear was noted unable to interview the resident.
However, V16 did say she knew it was transferring after her shower earlier in the week and wasn't telling
anyone anything else as she had been taking pictures. CNA interviewed and stated she heard it was
obtained after her last shower when they were transferring her. Medical Director and resident's primary
Physician is aware that incident occurred, and resident had area cleansed and covered before discharge
with no signs of infection. It continues, Summary and Analysis of the Evidence: Noted that resident had a
shower on 3/28/25. CNA stated that she was transferring her and accidently caused a skin tear to her left
inner shoulder area with her fingernail as she was assisting her to reposition in the shower chair. Area was
reported to nurse on duty which was an agency nurse, and she did treat and cover the area but did not do
the skin change of condition which would have documented and recorded the episode. It continues,
Conclusion and Action Taken: Based on the results of the investigation the facility has found the following: a.
Nurse V10 interviewed and stated that the area on R2's left inner shoulder dressing was intact when she
took it off noting that the area was clean with a 2 x 2 cm skin tear with no skin flap and pink in area. Area
redressed. b. POHC (Power of Health Care) verified per statement to the nurse that the injury was of known
cause because she took a picture after the shower when it was noticed the previous shower and that the
CNA must have done it transferring her because it was difficult, but she wasn't saying anything else. c.
Discharge instructions did include the skin tear and location. d. Medication reviewed and plan of care with
doctor which notes that resident takes Eliquis treatment would cause the skin to be injured easily due to the
blood thinner use. e. Other staff members were interviewed and had not witnessed or aware of this
allegation of any physical abuse with resident concerning the skin tear to her left inner shoulder area 2 x 2
cm with no skin flap or signs of infection. 2. Investigation concluded that the skin tear was not of unknown
origin and was caused by a staff member after transferring out of the shower and a fingernail or pressure
holding her arm would cause the injury. V16 prior to R2's discharge stated that was the cause of the tear. 3.
Staff re-educated on change of condition of skin with investigation and risk management to be initiated right
after the event when noted. 4. Education to licensed staff to note and change or new bruising developed
with incident tracking for root cause and analysis of any event. 5. Results of the investigation shared to
IDPH with final, MD (Medical Doctor), and family notifications. Ombudsman and local police department
with notifications, all agreed with the plan of care. 6. Administrator will monitor.

wound nurse, but she only does rounds with the wound doctor once a week, she doesn't do the wound care
any other time, not even the pressure ulcers, which would help. V4 stated that with short staff this causes
things to be missed.

The facility's Medication Administration policy, dated 5/2025, documents that Policy I. LEVEL OF
RESPONSIBILITY: Licensed nurse (RN, LPN) may: a) prepare, b) administer, and c) record the
administration of medications (prescription ointments are considered medicines) Medications shall always
be prepared, administered, and recorded by the same licensed nurse or CMA. Documentation of
medication administration is recorded on the Medication Administration Record (MAR.) or Treatment
Record and includes the date, time, time, and initials of the licensed nurse or CMA who administered the
medication. II. ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATIONS: Medications must be administered in accordance
with a physician's order, e.g., the right resident, right medication, right dosage, right route, and right time.
The facility's Pressure Ulcer Prevention policy, dated 5/2025, documents that the purpose is to prevent and
treat pressure sores/pressure injury.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to assess and identify a residents impaired skin
integrity, failed to document weekly skin assessments, and failed to follow physician orders for pressure
ulcer treatment for 3 of 4 residents (R7, R9, R14) reviewed for pressure ulcers in a sample of 29. This
failure resulted in R7 developing pressure ulcer that upon identification was classified as an
unstageable/stage 4, required significant debridement on multiple occasion, osteomyelitis and 7-day
hospital stay.
The Immediate Jeopardy began on 2/27/25 when the facility failed to assess and treat a high-risk resident
who was readmitted on [DATE] without any pressure injuries, resulting in R7 developing a facility acquired
unstageable/stage 4 pressure ulcer that was identified on 02/27/25 on her ischial tuberosity with infection
present. V6, Crisis Administrator, V32, Mobile Administrator, and V2, Director of Nurses was notified of the
Immediate Jeopardy on 4/30/25 at 2:16 PM. The surveyor confirmed by record review and interview that the
Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 5/2/2025 but remains at Level Two because additional time is needed
to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the in-service training.
Findings include:
1.R7's Face sheet documents R7 was admitted on [DATE] with a readmission date of 4/7/25 with diagnoses
of Type 2 Diabetes, other symptoms and signs involving cognitive function and awareness, hydronephrosis,
enterococcus, pulmonary embolism, sacrococcygeal disorders, not elsewhere classified, and presence of
urogenital implants.
R7's Braden scale dated 9/20/2022 obtained during admission assessment, documented a score of 17
indicating R7 is at risk for developing pressure ulcer.
R7's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documented that R7 is moderately cognitively impaired, no
pressure ulcer/injury on admission. The MDS further documents R7 is at risk of developing a pressure ulcer
with skin treatments recommended including a pressure reducing device for chair and for bed. R7 is at risk
for developing a pressure injury and had no pressure ulcers present.
