F 0628 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide the required documentation or notification related to the resident's needs, appeal rights, or bed-hold policies. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, staff interview, and facility policy review the facility failed to ensure prescribed medications were with the resident on discharge. This affected one Former Resident ( #52) of three former residents (#52, #53, #54) reviewed for discharge. The facility census was 42. Summary of findings: Review of Former Resident (FR) #52's medical record revealed an admission date of 02/24/25 and discharged on 03/03/25. Diagnosis included acute kidney failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, bacteremia, sacral pressure ulcer, congestive heart failure, and atrial fibrillation. Review of FR #52's discharge Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed the resident had an intact cognition. She was dependent for all activities of daily living.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** THE FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NONCOMPLIANCE THAT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY. Residents Affected - Few Based on record review, staff interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to adequately monitor a resident's (Former Resident #52) wound on admission the throughout her stay. The facility census was 42. Findings included: Review of Former Resident (FR) #52's medical record revealed an admission date of 02/24/25 and discharged on 03/03/25. Diagnosis included Stage IV sacral pressure ulcer (Full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon, or muscle. Slough or eschar may be present on some parts of the wound bed. Often includes undermining and tunneling.), acute kidney failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, bacteremia, congestive heart failure, and atrial fibrillation. Review of FR #52's discharge Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed the resident had an intact cognition. She was dependent for all activities of daily living. Review of FR #52's medical record revealed the record was absent of wound evaluations or measurements. Interview with Corporate Nurse #170 on 05/19/25 at 2:43 P.M. verified the facility failed to measure or assess FR #52's Stage IV sacral pressure ulcer during her respite stay. Interview with FR #52's home health nurse on 05/15/25 revealed the wound worsened during the resident's stay and required a wound vac. The nurse stated the wound was within one month of healing, but the condition of the wound declined during her admission to the facility. The nurse failed to provide the requested documentation for surveyor review. Review of the facility policy titled Pressure Ulcer Policy revised 04/16 revealed should a pressure area present either upon admission or in house, the wound will be monitored at least weekly and should have documentation including location and staging, size (perpendicular measurements of the greatest extend of length and width of the ulceration), depth; and the presence, location and extent of any undermining or tunneling/sinus tract, drainage; the amount and characteristics, pain if present and characteristics, and wound bed and surrounding tissue. As a result of the incident, the facility took the following actions to correct the deficient practice by 05/16/25: • On 04/24/25 the DON/Designee completed skin sweeps of all residents. • On 04/24/25 education was provided to nurse leadership team to ensure that a skin check was completed for all new admission within 72 hours of admission by the DON/Designee.
