This survey cited 3 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, interview, and facility policy review the facility failed to ensure resident treatments were completed and/ or documented as ordered. This affected two residents (#58 and #93) out of four residents reviewed treatments. This had the potential to affect 17 residents (#7, #14, #23, #27, #45, #48, #51, #58, #67, #73, #79, #85, #86, #89, #90, #91, and #99) identified by the facility with a treatment order other than barrier cream. The facility census was 102. Residents Affected - Few Findings included: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #58 revealed an admission date of 05/10/23 with diagnoses including hypertension, anxiety disorder, abnormalities of gait and mobility, and weakness. Review of the care plan dated 07/18/23 revealed Resident #58 had an alteration in skin integrity due to left ankle arterial ulcer. Interventions included check dressing for placement during the provision of routine care and services, document wound status weekly, heel lift suspension boots to be worn as tolerated, and treatments per order. Review of the Wound Nurse Practitioner (NP) #692 progress note dated 07/12/24 revealed Resident #58 continued to have an arterial ulceration to his left lateral ankle that measured 1.0 centimeter (cm) in length, 0.9 cm in width and 0.1cm in depth. Wound NP #692 ordered to cleanse Resident #58's left lateral ankle with saline solution, pat dry, apply Tetracyte (a topical antibiotic to help wound healing) along with calcium alginate (dressing when in contact with wound exudates a gel was formed for easier dressing removal), and cover with border foam dressing daily and as needed. There was no order on this progress note to complete the dressing change every other day. Review of the July 2024 treatment administration record (TAR) revealed an order dated 07/13/24 to cleanse Resident #58's left lateral ankle with saline solution, pat dry, apply Tetracyte along with calcium alginate, and cover with border foam dressing daily and as needed. The order also included every evening shift every other day (conflicting with the above frequency). The TAR indicated the treatment was marked to be completed every other day and not daily even though the order had both instructions in it. The TAR indicated his treatment was documented as completed on 07/15/24, 07/17/24, 07/19/24, 07/21/24 and that Resident #58 had refused his treatment on 07/13/24. Review of the C2) Weekly Ulcer Wound Documentation- V7 dated 07/15/24 and completed by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #691 revealed Resident #58 had an arterial ulcer to his left lateral ankle that measured 1.1 cm in length. 0.9 cm in width, and 0.2cm in depth post debridement. The assessment revealed the following treatment was to be completed: cleanse Resident #58's left lateral ankle with saline solution, pat dry, apply Tetracyte along with calcium alginate, and cover with border foam (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.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, interview, and facility policy review the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive and individualized pressure ulcer prevention program to prevent the development of pressure ulcers, to timely identify new pressure ulcers and to ensure wound care was completed as ordered. This affected two residents (#51 and #79) of four residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility census was 102. Residents Affected - Few Actual Harm occurred on 07/12/24 when Resident #51, who had a history of pressure ulcers, was dependent on staff assistance for most all activities of daily living (ADL) including toileting, hygiene, shower, dressing, transfers, and required partial to moderate assistance with rolling left and right in bed, was found to have an in-house acquired Stage III pressure ulcer (full thickness tissue loss, subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon or muscle are not exposed, slough may be present but does not obscure the depth of tissue loss, may include undermining and tunneling) to his scrotal area that contained 50 percent slough/necrosis (dead tissue) requiring mechanical debridement (remove unhealthy tissue from a wound bed) per Wound Nurse Practitioner (NP) #692. On 07/15/24, Resident #51 was found to have another in-house acquired Stage III pressure ulcer to his coccyx area that also required mechanical debridement. The facility failed to provide documented evidence of effective, comprehensive, and adequate interventions being in place to prevent the development of these pressure ulcers and to ensure the pressure ulcers were identified before being found at a Stage III. Actual Harm occurred on 07/15/24 when Resident #79, who was dependent on staff for most all ADL care including toileting, hygiene, shower, dressing, transfers, and required partial to moderate assistance with rolling left and right in bed, was found to have an in-house acquired Stage III pressure ulcer to her right buttock that also required mechanical debridement to remove the devitalized tissue to healthy bleeding tissue. Observation of wound care on 07/22/24 revealed Resident #79's dressing was dated 07/19/24 indicating her daily wound care dressing was not completed on 07/20/24 or 07/21/24 as ordered by the physician. The facility failed to provide documented evidence of effective, comprehensive, and adequate interventions being in place to prevent the development of this pressure ulcer and to ensure the pressure ulcer was identified before being found at a Stage III. Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #51 revealed an admission date of 09/19/22 with diagnoses including diabetes, chronic pain syndrome, dysphagia, and glycogen storage disease (a rare condition that changes the way the body uses and stores sugar or glucose). Review of the care plan dated 12/18/23 revealed Resident #51 had an alteration in skin integrity as he had pressure ulcers to his ischium, sacrum, and buttocks. Interventions included checking dressing placement during routine care and services, encouraging the resident to get out of bed as tolerated, monitoring wounds for signs of infection, treatments as ordered, and document wound status weekly or as needed. Review of the care plan dated 03/17/24 revealed Resident #51 had the potential for altercation in skin integrity related to bruises easily, immobility, and incontinence. Interventions included administering treatments as ordered, offloading heels as tolerated, pressure redistribution cushion to chair, turning and repositioning as needed, and skin assessment weekly.
