Left buttock no documentation wound care was completed on 11/03/25 or 11/24/25 and on 11/25/25, 11/26, and 11/27/25 it documented #9 other/see progress notes and 11/30/25 documented R2 refused. Right thigh no documentation wound care was completed on 11/03/25 and 11/24/25, and on 11/25/25, 11/26, and 11/27/25 documented #9 other/see progress notes. Left Posterior thigh wound had no documentation wound care was completed on 11/03/25 and 11/24/25, on 11/25/25 and 11/26/25 it documented #9, and on 11/30/25 it documented R2 refused. There was no documentation skin assessments were completed on 11/03/25 and 11/24/25, on 11/26/25 and 11/28/25 #9 was documented on the skin assessment. On 11/18/25 at 2:00 PM, Outside of R2's door lying on the floor was a machine (air pump) that went to an old air loss mattress. The control panel was hanging out of the machine by the wires, and it didn't have any hose connected to it.On 12/01/25 at 11:00 AM, V28, LPN and V29, CNA went in to turn R2 so a skin check could be completed. When R2 was turned onto her right side by V28 and V29 the dressings to R2 wounds were dated 11/28/25. The cloth incontinent pad that was under R2 had large rings of drainage from where her wounds had drained. Some of the dressings and tape had drainage on them. V28 and V29 was then assisted onto her left side and the dressings on her right side were dated 11/28/25. There was a strong odor also noted when R2 was assisted in rolling over. On 11/18/25 at 1:50 PM, V8, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) said R2's bed had a connection device that had three tubes on it that would connect to the machine, and it would keep coming off. V8 said sometimes when they would just be walking by R2's room and look in they would see that the tube had come disconnected and they would have to go in the room and hook it back up. V8 said the bed R2 has now she just got it three or four days ago.On 11/18/25 at 2:05 PM, V7, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated R2 should be on an air loss mattress to help prevent wounds. She said the plug had an issue something about the hose would pop off and the plug was loose.On 11/19/25 at 10:41 AM, V9, R2's family member #1 said her biggest issue is with R2's bed. She said R2 is supposed to have an air loss mattress but the one she had was literally held together with duct tape. V9 said they told the Director of Nursing (DON) about it, and she said they had a piece ordered. V9 said R2 would sink in the mattress, and it would make R2's bed sores hurt because the mattress wasn't properly aired up. V9 said they had to change R2's room because the bed she got was bigger than her original bed and it wouldn't fit in her old room. V9 said she has pictures of where the bed was broke, and she would send them to this surveyor. On 11/24/25 at 10:10 AM, R2 said the wound care nurse in nearby local town is the one who recommended switching her to an air loss mattress, but she isn't sure when she did that. She said the mattress she had before she got this one was softer, but they had trouble keeping air in it. R2 said whatever was supposed to be putting air into the bed wasn't working right and it kept coming off. R2 said when the air would go out of the old bed it was just like laying on the floor. She said when the air would go out of the mattress, she couldn't handle it her pain was so bad. She said it was a 10 with 10 being the worst and it was a burning type of pain where her sores are. R2 said she didn't want to be around people because she knew she was a crab-a**, and it hurt too much to sit up in her wheelchair. She said she would just have to grit her teeth and bare it before they got her better pain medication.

He said he likes to have things in writing when it comes to the facility, so he has proof. He said this didn't start because his mom didn't want to lay down in her bed it was because they put her in a wheelchair that was to small and then sent her to dialysis. He said his mom has always slept in her recliner but now she stays mostly in her bed because of the wounds. V31 said R2 didn't get the low air loss mattress until she came back from the hospital this last time. He said that is why she had to be moved to the 500 halls. V31 said he isn't sure what day R2 got the bed, but it didn't work. The hose that connected to the mattress would keep coming off and they used duct tape to try and keep it in place. V31 said they have changed R2's pain medication also. He said she is in extreme pain due to (d/t) her wounds and so they started her on morphine and after the dressing changes is when she has the most pain.On 11/19/25 at 12:42 PM, This surveyor reviewed pictures provided by V9, R2's family member #1 and they correspond with V31, R2's family member #2, V7, LPN, and V8, CNA interviews that the hose that keeps the bed inflated comes disconnected and causes the mattress to lose air. On 12/04/25 at 2:45 PM, V2, DON stated R2's old bed had an issue with the hose coming off. She said when she was made aware of the situation, she notified maintenance, and they were supposed to order a new part. V2 said they tried to order the part, and they couldn't get it, so they rented R2 a new bed until hers came in. She said whatever day the order is written is the day they got R2 a new bed. V2 said the maintenance man who was working at the facility at the time is no longer with them, they had to let him go due to them having issues with him.On 12/23/25 at 10:20 AM, V15, Anonymous, said she took R2 to the wound clinic a couple of times. She said the one time she took R2 the dressings were dated 9/12 and 9/14. V15 said R2 was supposed to have a special type of boot the NP wanted and V1 went out and just got R2 some cushioned heel protectors. She said she was so embarrassed them thinking the facility is neglecting the residents. V15 said V13 had asked her if she had gotten the mattress, she had wanted R2 to get also. V15 said she asked V13 for copies of the orders so she could give them to the facility. V15 said every time she would take R2 to the appointment when they came back, she would hand over any orders to the DON. V15 said she told the facility R2 was supposed to have a new mattress, but they just don't listen. V15 said she would go down and visit R2 often and she had went into R2's room multiple times and found the mattress flat and R2 lying on the metal bed frame. She said the CNAs would have to get R2 up out of bed because the bed was flat.On 12/01/25 at 10:38 AM, V13, Wound NP said she first seen R2 back in August of this year and on the first visit she wrote an order for R2 to get a low air loss mattress. She said sure it could be painful for R2 if the air loss mattress wouldn't stay inflated and R2 was laying on the hard bed. She said to be 100% truthful she isn't sure if R2's wounds are actually pressure. She said her and her colleagues thought R2 could possibly have what is called Calciphylaxis (a rare, serious disease. It involves a buildup of calcium in small blood vessels of fat tissues and skin. Symptoms include blood clots, lumps under the skin and painful open sores called ulcers. If an ulcer becomes infected, it can be life-threatening.). V13 said she feels like R2 has skin failure related to her renal failure. She said R2's skin is so fragile she is having them use just paper tape on R2. She said R2 has had surgical debridement due to an infection and it can be pretty life threatening and life expectancy is shortened due to the infection. On 12/02/25 at 2:10 PM, V13, Nurse Practitioner (NP) said when R2 first came to see her R2's wound were labeled as pressure ulcers but due to her renal disease, some of her labs, some of the medications (such as Prednisone) not helping the wound in healing, and the progression of the wounds they thought R2 wounds were more related to Calciphylaxis. V13 said she would expect the facility to implement the orders she gives and if a low loss air mattress isn't properly inflating it can cause issues by putting more pressure on R2's wounds and it can cause her pain.

V13 said she would expect the nursing staff to follow her orders and if the dressing becomes soiled even if it was changed the day before to change it again. V13 said some of the risk for not changing dressings like they are ordered would be further skin breakdown from the moisture and infection especially because R2's is on her bottom. On 12/23/25 at 10:38 AM, V13, Wound NP said she originally thought R2 had Pyoderma Gangrenousm at first but after trying to treat her wounds with Prednisone and it not working, they decided it was Calciphylaxis and not Pyoderma Gangrenousm. She said sometimes you must try different treatments and other things to try to eliminate what it could be. V13 said she remembers writing for R2 to have a low air loss mattress and cushioned heel boots and she got them around 9/9/25. She said when she came back the following week for her follow up R2 reported to her that her (R2's) new mattress feels like she is laying on the hard frame of the bed. She said she instructed the caregiver who was with R2 to check the mattress for proper inflation every shift. V13 said if they had R2 on a bed that wasn't working properly she would expect the facility to immediately get her a different bed and putting R2 on a different mattress while they were getting her a new bed/mattress. V13 said she started R2 on Cipro on 9/19/25 because she had cultured R2's wound and she believes it was positive for pseudomonas.The facility's policy Pressure Ulcer Prevention, revision date of 1/15/18, documented Purpose: To prevent and treat pressure sores/pressure injury. Guidelines: 1. Maintain clean/dry skin during daily hygiene measures. 2. Inspect the skin several times daily during bathing, hygiene, and repositing measures. May use lotion on dry skin. It further documented 5. Turn dependent resident approximately every two hours or as needed and position resident with pillow or pads protection bony prominences as indicated. It also documented 9. Pressure reducing (foam) mattresses are used for all residents unless otherwise indicated. Specialty mattresses such as low air loss, alternating pressure, etc. may be used as determined clinically appropriate. Specialty mattresses are typically used for residents who have multiple Stage 2 wounds or one or more Stage 3 or Stage 4 wounds.The Immediate Jeopardy began on 08/21/25 was removed on 12/08/25 when the facility took the following actions to remove the immediacy as confirmed by the surveyor during onsite verification: Facility wound care policy was reviewed by [NAME] President of Operations and was found to be in compliance with state and federal regulations. Director of Nursing or designee initiated in-servicing, for all nursing staff, on the wound care policy and procedures on 12/05/25.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure new care plan interventions were implemented to prevent new/worsening pressure ulcers. The facility failed to ensure skin assessments were completed, ensure supplies for wound care were available, and complete wound treatments as ordered for 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for wounds in a sample of 10. This failure resulted in R1 developing a stage II pressure ulcer to her right buttock on 11/25/25, a stage III pressure ulcer to her left buttock on 12/02/25, and worsening/decline to the wound on R1's right heel resulting in R1 requiring antibiotic treatment. The Immediate Jeopardy began on 11/25/25 due to the facility's failure to assess, treat, and complete skin assessments to prevent and/or treat pressure wounds for R1. This failure resulted when V47 (Nurse Practitioner) discovered a Stage II pressure wound to R1's right buttock, which the facility was not aware of. Additionally, on 12/2/25, V47 discovered a Stage III pressure wound to R1's left buttock that the facility was not aware of. V1, Administrator and V2, Director of Nursing (DON) were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 12/11/25 at 1:55 PM. Abatement number one and two were not accepted. Abatement number three on 12/12/25 was accepted. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 12/12/25, but noncompliance remains at Level Two as additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the in-service training. Findings Include:On 12/09/25 at 8:15 AM, R1 was up in the day area in her wheelchair, and she was observed in 15-minute intervals from 8:15 AM to 1:25 PM until she was laid down in bed. During this time R1 did have her float boots on and she was cooperative with care. At 9:45 R1 was leaning forward in her wheelchair. At 10:00 AM the certified nursing assistant (CNA) was going to take R1 and lay her down in bed but due to her having physical therapy they decided to leave her up in her wheelchair. R1 was then taken down to physical therapy at 10:17 AM. After therapy was completed, she was brought back to the day area on the 500 hallways and left in her chair due to it being so close to mealtime. At 11:45 AM, V7, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) said R1 eats better when she is up in her wheelchair, so she needed to stay up for lunch. 1:15 PM R1 remained in her wheelchair leaning forward in the day area on the 500 halls. At 1:25 PM V26, CNA and V45, CNA assisted R1 back to bed via mechanical lift. On 12/09/25 at 1:25 PM, Once R1 was placed in bed they removed R1 pants and then unfastened R1's incontinent brief and R1's brief was full of bowel movement (BM), V45 did incontinent care and cleaned R1 up. While R1 was on her left side a red area was noted on R1's right hip. When R1 was rolled over onto her right side there was another reddened area seen on R1's left hip. V26 said the area to R1's right side is where she had an open area at one time, but it has healed up. She said it could also be red because R1 had been sitting up in her chair and it's over a bony area. During incontinent care there was an indention on R1's right labia from sitting on the indwelling catheter and then an indention on back of R1's right leg/thigh from where R1 had been sitting on the indwelling catheter bag tubing. V26 said R1 was gotten up between 7:00 AM and 7:30 AM. She said she likes to make R1 a priority and get her laid down as soon as she can because of her wounds.R1's Face Sheet, print date of 12/11/25, documented diagnoses including type II diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pressure ulcer of right heel stage II, pressure ulcer of sacral region, stage 4, peripheral vascular disease.

Call placed to power of attorney (POA) with no answer, voicemail (VM) left.On 12/23/25 at 10:20 AM, V1, Administrator said she would expect the nurse to follow up and get the treatment changes made right away and document it. She would expect the nurse to do an assessment on any resident who came back from the hospital and to document it. She said if there weren't supplies to complete a treatment, she would expect the nurses to notify the doctor they weren't able to complete the treatment and maybe he would change it until they were able to get the correct supplies in. She would also expect to be notified if the nurses didn't have the proper supplies for wound care and she would get what was needed right away. V1 said she would expect the nurses to continue with the current treatment for the wound until it was time for the new order to start. V1 said she would expect the maintenance department to keep equipment in good working condition. She said V48, Maintenance director is proactive about getting things done and looking for things to make sure they are working properly.On 12/11/2025 at 11:52 AM, V47, Wound Nurse Practitioner (NP) said R1 has a diagnosis of diabetes, and she is not compliant with care. She said the wound to R1's coccyx will open and close, but she has had that wound since being admitted to the facility. V47 said yes, she would expect the facility to have found the new wound on R1's left buttock during routine care. She said she was here making her rounds, and they went to turn R1 over and when they did that's when they found the wound to her Lt. buttock. V47 said the staff should be repositioning residents while they are up in their chairs. She said she would expect to be notified if the facility didn't have the supplies to complete the treatment that was ordered. She said she would expect the nurse to do a full body assessment upon readmission and document any wounds the resident had. V47 said the night shift does the treatments, and they are usually done towards the end of the shift. She said so they usually just wait for her to come in Tuesday morning and complete them. V47 said new interventions should have been put into place after a new wound has been found. She said while she was here doing her rounds, they inspected R1's bed and she was on an air overlay, so she suggested they get R1 a low air loss mattress and she also got a new wheelchair cushion.

V2 stated that R10 should be on enhanced barrier precautions presently due his wound and has been on enhanced barrier precautions since he was admitted due to being admitted with a wound and an enteral feeding tube. V2 stated she would expect staff to follow the facility policy for Enhanced Barrier precautions and any wound dressings that were observed being contaminated with blood or body fluids should be placed in a red biohazard bag and taken to the dirty utility for proper disposal.Review of the facility policy titled, Enhanced Barrier Precautions with a most recent revision date of [DATE] documents the purpose of this policy is, To reduce risk of transmitting multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) and targeted MDRO when contact precautions do not apply for residents identified as higher risk. Guidelines include, Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) are used in conjunction with standard precautions and expand the use of PPE (personal protective equipment) to donning of gown and gloves during high- contact resident care activities that provide opportunities for transfer of MDRO's to staff hands and clothing. EBP are indicated for residents with any of the following: .Chronic Wounds.Review of an article titled, Standard Precautions for Prevention of Transmission of HIV, Hepatitis B Virus, Hepatitis C Virus and Other Bloodborne Pathogens in Health-Care Settings which was not dated and found at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK305277/ stated, Standard precautions combine the major features of universal precautions (UP) and body substance isolation (BSI), and are based on the principle that all blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions (except sweat), non-intact skin and mucous membranes may contain transmissible infectious agents. Standard precautions include a group of infection-prevention practices that apply to all patients, regardless of suspected or confirmed infection status, in any setting in which health care is delivered. These include: hand hygiene; use of gloves, gown, mask, eye protection or face shield, depending on the anticipated exposure; and safe injection practices. Also, equipment or items in the patient environment likely to have been contaminated with infectious body fluids must be handled in a manner that prevents transmission of infectious agents (e.g. wear gloves for direct contact, contain heavily soiled equipment, properly clean and disinfect or sterilize reusable equipment before use on another patient). The application of standard precautions during patient care is determined by the nature of the health-care worker-patient interaction and extent of anticipated blood, body fluid or pathogen exposure. For some interactions (e.g. performing a venepuncture), only gloves may be needed; during other interactions (e.g. intubation), use of gloves, gown, and face shield or mask and goggles is necessary. Standard precautions are also intended to protect patients by ensuring that health-care personnel do not carry infectious agents to patients on their hands or via equipment used during patient care. A section in the article titled, Hand hygiene stated,1. During the delivery of health care, avoid unnecessary touching of surfaces in close proximity to the patient to prevent both contamination of clean hands from environmental surfaces and transmission of pathogens from contaminated hands to surfaces.2.

If hands are not visibly soiled, or after removing visible material with non-antimicrobial soap and water, decontaminate hands in the clinical situations described in 3.a-f The preferred method of hand decontamination is with an alcohol-based hand rub. Alternatively, hands may be washed with an antimicrobial soap and water. Frequent use of alcohol-based hand rub immediately following handwashing with non-antimicrobial soap may increase the frequency of dermatitis. Perform hand hygiene:3.a. Before having direct contact with patients3.b. After contact with blood, body fluids or excretions, mucous membranes, non-intact skin, or wound dressings3.c.

After removing gloves.Wash hands with non-antimicrobial or antimicrobial soap and water if contact with spores (e.g. Clostridium difficile or Bacillus anthracis) is likely to have occurred. The physical action of washing and rinsing hands under such circumstances is recommended because alcohols, chlorhexidine, iodophors and other antiseptic agents have poor activity against spores.Additionally in the same article, the section titled Gloves stated:Wear gloves when it can be reasonably anticipated that contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials, mucous membranes, non-intact skin, or potentially contaminated intact skin (e.g. of a patient with incontinence of stool or urine) could occur.Wear gloves with fit and durability appropriate to the task.2.a.

Remove gloves after contact with a patient and/or the surrounding environment (including medical equipment) using a proper technique to prevent hand contamination. Do not wear the same pair of gloves for the care of more than one patient. Do not wash gloves for the purpose of reuse since this practice has been associated with the transmission of pathogens.2.d.

V8 said the bed R2 has now she just got it three or four days ago.On 11/18/25 at 2:00 PM, Outside of R2's door lying on the floor was a machine (air pump) that went to an old air loss mattress. The control panel was hanging out of the machine by the wires, and it didn't have any hose connected to it.

She said the plug had an issue something about the hose would pop off and the plug was lose.On 11/19/25 at 10:41 AM, V9, R2's family member #1 said her biggest issue is with R2's bed. She said R2 is supposed to have an air loss mattress but the one she had was literally held together with duct tape. V9 said they told the Director of Nursing (DON) about it, and she said they had a piece ordered. V9 said R2 would sink in the mattress, and it would make R2's bed sores hurt because the mattress wasn't properly inflated. V9 said they had to change R2's room because the bed she got was bigger than her original bed and it wouldn't fit in her old room. V9 said she has pictures of where the bed was broke, and she would send them to this surveyor. On 11/24/25 at 10:10 AM, R2 said the wound care nurse at a local facility is the one who recommended switching her to an air loss mattress, but she isn't sure when she did that. She said the mattress she had before she got this one was softer, but they had trouble keeping air in it. R2 said whatever was supposed to be putting air into the bed wasn't working right and it kept coming off. R2 said when the air would go out of the old bed it was just like laying on the floor. She said when the air would go out of the mattress, she couldn't handle it her pain was so bad. She said it was a 10 with 10 being the worst and it was a burning type of pain where her sores are. R2 said she didn't want to be around people because she knew she was a crab-a**, and it hurt too much to sit up in her wheelchair. She said she would just have to grit her teeth and bare it before they got her better pain medication.

He said this didn't start because his mom didn't want to lay down in her bed it was because they put her in a wheelchair that was to small and then sent her to dialysis. He said his mom has always slept in her recliner but now she stays mostly in her bed because of the wounds. V31 said R2 didn't get the low air loss mattress until she came back from the hospital this last time. He said that is why she had to be moved to the (specific hall location). V31 said he isn't sure what day R2 got the bed, but it didn't work. The hose that connected to the mattress would keep coming off and they used duct tape to try and keep it in place. V31 said they have changed R2's pain medication also. He said she is in extreme pain due to (d/t) her wounds and so they started her on morphine and after the dressing changes is when she has the most pain.On 11/19/25 at 12:42 PM, This surveyor reviewed pictures provided by V9, R2's family member #1 and they correspond with V31, R2's family member #2, V7, LPN, and V8, CNA interviews that the hose that keeps the bed inflated comes disconnected and causes the mattress to lose air. On 12/04/25 at 2:45 PM, V2, DON stated R2's old bed had an issue with the hose coming off. She said when she was made aware of the situation, she notified maintenance, and they were supposed to order a new part. V2 said they tried to order the part, and they couldn't get it, so they got R2 a new bed. V2 said the maintenance man who was working at the facility at the time is no longer with them, they had to let him go due to them having issues with him.On 12/23/25 at 10:20 AM, V1, Administrator said she would expect the maintenance department to keep equipment in good working condition. She said V48, Maintenance director is proactive about getting things done and looking for things to make sure they are working properly.On 12/01/25 at 10:38 AM, V13, Wound Nurse Practitioner (NP) she first seen R2 back in August of this year and on the first visit she wrote an order for R2 to get a low air loss mattress. She said sure it could be painful for R2 if the air loss mattress wouldn't stay inflated and R2 was laying on the hard bed. She said to be 100% truthful she isn't sure if R2's wounds are pressure. She said her and her colleagues thought R2 could possibly have what is called Calciphylaxis (a rare, serious disease. It involves a buildup of calcium in small blood vessels of fat tissues and skin. Symptoms include blood clots, lumps under the skin and painful open sores called ulcers. If an ulcer becomes infected, it can be life-threatening.).On 12/02/25 at 2:10 PM, V13, Wound NP said she would expect the facility to implement the orders she gives and if a low loss air mattress isn't properly inflating it can cause issues by putting more pressure on R2's wounds and it can cause her pain.The facility's Preventive Maintenance and Inspections policy, not dated, documented In order to provide a safe environment for residents, employes, and visitors, a preventative maintenance program has been implemented to promote the maintenance of fixtures and equipment in a state of good repair and condition.
