R1's Resident Face Sheet documented an admission date of 10/12/24 with diagnoses including: extradural and subdural abscess, anorexia, dysphasia, generalized epilepsy, non traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, benign neoplasm of the meninges. R1's 12/9/24 Minimum Data Set (MDS) documented a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 5, indicating severe cognitive impairment.

On 1/30/25 at 12:16 PM, V4 (Registered Nurse/ RN) said she completed R1's skin assessment on 12/6/24 when R1 returned from the hospital. V4 said R1 had open wounds to his sacrum and V4 documented it in her assessment. V4 said when a resident has a new wound staff are supposed to take a picture of the wound and upload it into the electronic communication system for the medical providers to give treatment orders. V4 said she did not recall if she had notified the medical provider of R1's new wounds and V4 said she did not know how to upload pictures in the electronic communication system. V4 said she did not recall if she had notified V3 (Wound Nurse/ Licensed Practical Nurse) or V2 (Director of Nursing/ DON) of R1's new wounds. V4 said after she had documented R1's new wounds she had not noticed that no treatments were ordered for R1 during her shifts post discovery. V4 said she did not recall if she had notified R1's family on R1's wounds on 12/6/24 and could not recall if R1's family had asked if R1 had any wounds. On 1/30/25 at 12:16 PM, V3 said she was not notified of R1 having any wounds by any staff until 12/25/25. V3 said prior to V5 (Wound Physician) arriving at the facility every week V3 will speak to the floor nurses to ask if any resident has any new wounds V5 needs to assess. V3 said if the nurses don't tell her of any new wounds the only other way she would be notified was if the nurse made a new event in the resident's Electronic Medical Record (EMR). V3 said no event had been opened on 12/6/24 for R1. V3 said no wound treatments had been completed for R1 until 12/25/24 when he was seen by V5. On 1/29/25 at 3:10 PM, V5 said he was not made aware of R1's wounds until 12/25/24 when he arrived (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
