ordered. V9 stated that R1's wound dressings were to be changed three times a week which would have
sufficed for home health. V9 stated, R1's wounds were ok to be managed at home but under the direction of
a nurse. You worry about infection concerns especially with wounds around the coccyx. Wounds in the
coccyx area need well covered and cleaned. You risk contamination from urine or feces, increasing your
risk of infection. V8 stated that due to the anatomical location of R1's wounds, R1 would not have been
capable of cleaning R1's wounds or changing the dressings himself. V8 stated R1 was very tall and even
reaching the wounds on R1's legs would have been difficult for R1. V8 stated, (R1's) wounds needed to be
cared for under the direction of a skilled provider. V8 stated if it had been a situation where home health
nursing care was being refused, V8 or another nurse would have had to ensure that education with return
demonstration was completed with the caregiver who would have been responsible for caring for R1's
wounds. V8 stated V3 (R1's Wound Physician) saw R1 in the facility on 10/6/23. V8 stated, That would have
been a great opportunity for the nurse to speak out and explain each step of the wound care being
completed with R1's caregiver. I wasn't aware on Friday (10/6/23) that (R1) would be discharging home so
soon. At this time, V8 denied that V8 provided wound education of any kind to R1 or any of R1's
family/friends for caring for R1's wounds at home. V8 stated that two to three days of wound care supplies
are also sent home with residents to make sure they are well-equipped with supplies to treat the wound site
or area before home health comes or more supplies are ordered. V8 stated a detailed progress note would
be completed after wound teaching was completed.
On 10/27/23 at 9:57 AM, V8 (R1's Family Member) stated that R1 lives alone and does not have family
other than R1's ex-wife and V8. V8 stated that V8 picked R1 up from the facility on 10/9/23 to drive R1
home. V8 stated, I was there to take (R1) home, and no one talked to me or told me anything. We sat in
(R1's) room for a while waiting for the nurse to go over his instructions, his medications, his wounds,
anything. No one came in. Staff kept popping their head in and out to see if we were still in the room, but no
one ever came and talked with us. (R1) has wounds. How are we supposed to care for them? What did they
need? I don't know. I work out of town, and for at least 10 hours a day, (R1) is by himself. Those wounds are
on (R1's) butt and his lower legs. There's no way he can reach them on his own. He's 6 foot 8 (inches) and
240 pounds. He's a big guy. He can't even reach the ones on his legs. The dressings weren't changed for
about 10 days until his ex-wife came to visit. He had to call places to get help himself. It's not right. At this
time, V8 verified that no wound supplies of any kind were sent home with R1 and that no staff from the
facility educated R1 or V8 about caring for R1's wounds and did not have V8 demonstrate how to perform
R1's wound treatments.
On 10/27/23 at 10:15 AM, R1 stated that prior to leaving the skilled nursing facility, R1 was not set up with
home health care or nursing services. R1 denied ever telling anyone that R1 didn't want help at home after
discharging from the facility. R1 stated R1 was asked about Physical Therapy and that's it. R1 stated, I
wasn't anywhere ready to be on my own. I need the help. I took it on my own to call around to get a nurse or
an aide in here to help me. I have wounds on my backside that I can't get to. I tried taking care of them on
my own; it's too hard by myself. R1 stated that when R1 left the skilled nursing facility, R1 nor any
caregivers for R1 were provided wound care instructions, no wound teaching was completed, and R1 was
not given any wound care supplies.
As of 10/27/23 R1's medical record did not contain documentation that R1 was offered home health or
nursing services after discharge. That R1 had ever declined home health or nursing services and that R1
was arranged for home health or nursing services after discharge. There was not documentation that R1 or
any caregivers for R1 were provided wound care teaching with return demonstration; or that wound care
supplies/treatments were provided to R1 at the time of R1's discharge from the facility.
