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. On 12/02/25 at 10:55 AM, V31, R2's family member #2 said he messaged/sent pictures to the
DON about the

bed not working. 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 just recently changed R2's dressing orders from daily to three times a week and PRN if soiled
or becomes dislodged. 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. In-servicing will be
completed by the start of each staff members next shift. Facility Administrator and Director of Nursing were
in-serviced by Regional Nurse Consultant on wound care policy and procedures on 12/05/25. Facility
Administrator and Director of Nursing were in-serviced by Regional Nurse Consultant on 12/5/25 to ensure
that all wound orders are carried out and all interventions are in place. Director of Nursing or designee will
conduct audits of all wound care orders and interventions weekly times 4 weeks beginning 12/5/25. The
Director of Nursing or designee will interview 3 staff members, 3 times weekly x4 weeks to ensure that staff
understand wound care policies and procedures beginning 12/5/25. Maintenance Director checked all Low
Air Loss (LAL) mattresses on 12/5/25 to ensure proper functioning. Maintenance will perform checks of LAL
mattresses weekly to ensure proper functioning. IDT team on 12/5/25 (Admin, DON, SSD, MDS, DM)

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. R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated
[DATE], documented she is moderately cognitively impaired with a BIMS of 09 out of 15 and she requires
substantial/maximal assistance with rolling left and right and is dependent on staff for sit to lying and lying

to coccyx and stage 2 to Rt buttock have both declined in the last week. New area, stage 2 to Lt buttock
noted this week. 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. V47, NP agreed the lack of identifying, treating, and preventing new
pressure wounds can for sure cause the wounds to worsen, get infected, and there is always a risk for
death.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

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 11/25/25 and was removed on
12/16/25 when the facility took the following actions to remove the immediacy: Facility pressure ulcer
prevention policy was reviewed by [NAME] President of Operations and was found to be in compliance with
state and federal regulations on 12/11/25. R1 was seen by Wound Care Provider on 12/2/25 and received

to ensure door alarms were turned on, and respond in a timely manner to alarms to prevent elopement for
2 of 4 residents (R4, R9) reviewed for safety in a sample of 9. These failures resulted in a severely cognitive
impaired resident (R4) repeatedly eloping from the facility despite being identified as an elopement risk,
and multiple failures of disabling of door alarms and delayed responses contribute to R4's elopements into
unknown and unsafe conditions that include walking in middle of road and getting in a strangers
vehicle.The Immediate Jeopardy began on 10/16/25 when the facility failed to properly supervise a resident

resident's family, the alarm went off, and so they ran down to get her and by the time they got there R4 had
gotten into the visitor's van and V8, CNA had to remove her. V7 said the facility closed the doors on the 100
hallway and 400 hall and she doesn't think R4 has gotten out since. V7 said if you let R4 out of your site for
two minutes she's gone.On 11/18/25 at 1:50 PM, V8, CNA said the reason R4 keeps getting out is because
she looks like a worker and family members are letting her outside. She said you can't tell her from the
workers here at the facility. V8 said one of the other resident's family was going out the door and R4 went
out with them. She said the alarm went off and she ran down to get R4 and by the time she got to her R4
had gotten into their van.On 11/25/25 at 10:11 AM, V11, Primary Care Physician (PCP)/Medical Director
said he was made aware of R4 getting out of the facility. He said he knew she had gotten out more than
once also.On 11/25/25 at 10:50 AM, V3, Registered Nurse (RN) said R4 has gotten out on several
occasions. She said one-time R4 had gotten out from the 400 hallway, was seen in between the two
buildings, staff went out and got R4 and brought her back in, then they looked out the window again and R4
was back outside so they went back out and got her again and brought R4 back in. She said when R4 finds
a way out she will go back to that way to get out again. V3 said each time R4 has had an incident they have
made administration aware. V3 said R4 doesn't know what is going on and she worries constantly about R4
especially now with the weather getting cold. V3 said R4 could fall outside where no one can see her and
freeze. V3 said it's hard to protect R4 due to not being able to watch R4 continuously. V3 said she has never
had this kind of situation because if a resident wonders they will usually put them on the locked unit to keep
them safe. V3 said most of the alarms are always on. V3 was questioned about the 200-hallway door alarm
being off and she said the smokers go out there and it's been like that for a long time. V3 said when you go
out that door and it shuts you can't open that door from the outside it only opens from the inside. On
11/25/25 at 11:05 AM, V15, Anonymous said about two weekends ago she was working and was doing
stuff out in the dining room. She said she seen R4 wandering around in the halls, and she could see R4 in
a mirror and she was heading toward the 500 hallways. V15 said she didn't see or hear R4 for a minute and
she got this feeling, so she got up to check on R4 and found her outside standing in the middle of the street
in front of the facility. She said cars sometimes fly by on that street. V15 said she text V1 and told her what
was happening and asked if she needed to do anything else and V1 never responded. V15 said if R4 had a
wander guard on it didn't go off. V15 said she is concerned about R4, and she absolutely feels R4 is at risk
for something to happen to her. On 11/24/25 at 2:35 PM, V14, R4's family member said she was not aware
of R4 getting out of the facility and no one ever called her and notified her of this. She said there was one
day when her sister was at the facility to visit and asked how R4 was doing, and they told her sister oh by
the way she got out of the facility. She said then the next day her sister contacted her and let her know but
she is R4's guardian. She said she has never been notified of anything when it comes to R4 not even at her
old facility. V14 said she would like to be notified about a lot of things.2. R9's Face Sheet, print date of

Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) donned a gown, mask and gloves from the 3-drawer cart located outside of
R10's room door. Upon entry, R10 was expressing that he needed to have a bowel movement. R10 assisted
V7 in rolling to R10's left side and as he did, began to have a bowel movement into the disposable
incontinence brief which was under him. R10 was observed as having an undated dressing in place to his
coccyx, which was now visibly soiled with feces. After R10 confirmed he had completed his bowel
movement, V7 was observed wiping the feces on R10's skin with the disposable brief, folding the feces into
the brief and placing it in the trash bag that was located on the floor by R10's room door. V7, then with her
still same gloved hands touched the outside of the trash bag to lift the bag to better contain the contents,
touched the room door, door handle, door frame and opened the door asking V45 (CNA) to bring in clean
bedding supplies for R10. V7 closed the room door and went to the bathroom located within R10's room,
touching the bathroom door, bathroom door handle, sink faucet handles and wet a washcloth. Continuous
observation was made of V7 in which she remained donned in the same soiled gloves with no hand
hygiene completed. V7 returned to R10's bedside and removed the soiled dressing to R10's coccyx and
began wiping the skin around the wound as well as the feces smears which were still visible from R10's
buttocks area. The coccyx dressing that was removed from R10, was observed as having a moderate
amount of blood-tinged drainage present to the dressing as well as a small amount of blood-tinged
drainage which ran from the wound onto R10's skin upon the dressing removal. R10 was rolled from his left
side, back to his back with the wound coming directly in contact with the bed linens. V7 then doffed her
gown, gloves, mask placing them, as well as the soiled coccyx dressing into the clear trash bag located on
the floor by the room door, exiting the room, performing no hand hygiene. V7 was then touched the door

V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that she is familiar with R10. 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. When hands are visibly dirty, contaminated with proteinaceous material, or visibly soiled with
blood or

body fluids, wash hands with either a non-antimicrobial or an antimicrobial soap and water.3. 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 contact with a patient's intact skin (e.g. when taking a pulse or blood pressure or
lifting a patient)3.d. If hands are likely to move from a contaminated body site to a clean body site during
patient care3.e. After contact with inanimate objects (including medical equipment) in the immediate vicinity
of the patient3.f. 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. Wear disposable medical examination gloves for
providing direct patient care.2.b. Wear disposable medical examination gloves or reusable utility gloves for
cleaning the environment or medical equipment.2.c. 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. Change gloves during patient care if the hands are likely to move from a contaminated body
site (e.g. perineal area) to a clean body site (e.g. face).Review of an article titled, HIV and AIDS, dated

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 ensure a low air loss mattress was in proper
working order for 1 of 3 residents (R2) reviewed for essential equipment, safe operating condition in a
sample of 10. This resulted in R2 being in extreme pain due to R2 having multiple pressure ulcers/injuries,
the mattress not staying properly inflated, and R2 laying on a hard metal bed frame. Findings Include: R2's
Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documented R2 is cognitively intact with a Brief Interview for
Mental Status (BIMS) of 15 out of 15 and she requires substantial/maximal assistance for rolling left to
right, sitting to lying and lying to sitting.R2's Face Sheet, print date of 12/04/25, documented R2 has
diagnoses including pressure ulcer of right buttock, stage 3, dependence on renal dialysis, chronic kidney
disease, stage 4 (severe), and chronic combined systolic and diastolic (congestive) heart failure. R2's Care
Plan, admission date of 08/18/25, documented Potential for skin breakdown r/t (related to) incontinence, Hx
(history) weeping L/E's (lower extremities), ace wraps for edema, morbid obesity, OAB (overactive bladder),
resident is at increased risk for unavoidable skin breakdown r/t autoimmune disease pyoderma
gangrenosumStage 3 R (right) buttockStage 3 R posterior thighStage 3 L (left) buttockStage 3 L posterior
thighStage 3 L proximal buttockR lateral calf skin tearGoal: R2's will have wounds show improvement
through next review and interventions include but not limited to Low Air Loss Bariatric Mattress for pressure
reduction Per wound clinic/V13, Nurse Practitioner (date initiated 10/15/25), monitor for redness or
discoloration to skin, keep skin dry and well lubricated, and weekly skin checks.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 2:00 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 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 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. On 12/02/25 at 10:55 AM, V31, R2's family

member #2 said he messaged/sent pictures to the DON about the bed not working. 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 (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.

Ensure nurse aides have the skills they need to care for residents, and give nurse aides education in
dementia care and abuse prevention.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure nurse aides completed the required 12
hours of education per year. This has the potential to affect all 60 residents residing in the facility. Findings
include:The facility's CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant) hire date list documented the following: V32 CNA hire
date of 7/26/2011.V33 CNA hire date of 1/21/2002.V34 CNA hire date of 11/12/2018.V35 CNA hire date of
11/4/1999.V36 CNA hire date of 3/18/2019.V37 CNA hire date of 11/19/2019. The facility's in-service
records for 2025 documented the following: V32 had 1 hour of education for the past year.V33 had 2 hours
of education for the past year. V34 had 1 hour of education for the past year. V35 had 2 hours of education
for the past year. V36 had no education documented for the past year.V37 had 2.5 hours of education for
the past year. On 12/2/25 at 12:29 AM V1 Administrator stated I have to be honest, that is all we have for
the CNA in-services/education for the past year. V1 stated CNAS are supposed to have 10 or 12 hours of
continuing education per year. V1 stated the in-services that were provided to the Surveyor were all
30-minute in-services except the wound care in-service did take 1 hour. V1 stated the CNA list has the
original hire date and the date the new company took over on 11/1/25. On 12/2/25 at 1:43 PM Surveyor
reviewed the CNA education hours with V1 Administrator and V2 DON (Director of Nursing). V1 and V2
both agreed V32, V33, V34, V35, V36, and V37 did not receive the 12 hours of required education in the
past year. On 12/2/25 at 2:17 PM V1 Administrator stated she thinks the facility did do dementia training in
February of 2025, but she cannot find the attendance records for it. Surveyor asked if the facility provides
dementia training within 60 days of hire as documented in the facility Employee Education policy and V1
stated we are not doing that. The facility's Employee Education policy, dated 10/1/22, documented the
facility shall provide a Staff Education Plan in accordance with State and Federal regulations. 1. The facility
will develop, implement, and maintain a written staff education plan, which ensures a coordinated program
for staff education for all facility employees. 2. The staff education plan will be reviewed at least annually by
the quality assurance committee and revised as needed. 3. The facility will ensure the staff education plan
includes both pre-service and annual requirements. 4. The staff education plan shall ensure that education
is conducted annually for all facility employees, at a minimum, in the following areas: a. Prevention and
control of infection; b. Fire prevention, emergency procedures-life safety, and disaster preparedness; c.
Abuse, neglect, and exploitation; d. Accident, prevention and safety awareness programs; e. Resident's
rights to include Advanced Directives; f. OSHA Training - Biomedical Waste Plan and Bloodborne
Pathogens; g. Federal law requirement for long term care facilities, which is incorporated by reference, and
state rules and regulations; h. Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI). 5. The facility will
ensure, when employed by a nursing home facility for a 12-month period or longer, a nursing assistant, to
maintain certification, shall submit to a performance review every 12 months and must receive regular
in-service education based on the outcome of such reviews. It continues, 8. The facility will ensure that all
employees will have training, as required by the State regarding dementia, both at within 60 days of hire
and annually thereafter. The facility's daily census report, dated 12/2/25, documented there are 60
residents residing in the facility.
