**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 4. Review of
the medical record for Resident #12 revealed an admission date of 02/25/25. Medical diagnoses included
atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and hypertension.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the admission MDS dated [DATE] revealed Resident #12 was moderately cognitively impaired.
His functional status was set up or cleanup for eating, substantial/maximal assistance for toileting, bed
mobility, and transfers.
Review of the care plan dated 02/25/25 revealed the resident has actual impairment related to skin integrity
to the sacrum is a Stage III present on admission, left heel unstageable present on admission and the right
heel present on admission. Interventions of educate the family, eliminate causative factors, promote good
nutrition, encourage position change and repositioning during the night and monitor location, size and
treatment of skin injury. Report abnormalities, failure to heal, signs and symptoms of infection, maceration
etc. to physicians were initiated on 03/06/25 and implement heel boots and pressure relieving reducing
mattress while in bed were initiated on 03/20/25.
Review of the admission skin assessment dated [DATE] revealed he had wounds to his left heel that was
unstageable, right heel that was soft and pink, and to the vertebrae mid upper back was reddened. There
were no measurements included with the heel or vertebral wounds upon admission.
Further review of the assessment of these wounds on 02/27/25 revealed they were all staged as
unstageable. The vertebrae wound was documented, and the right buttock wound was documented as
unstageable. Review of the skin assessment dated [DATE] revealed the following: right buttock measured
2.0 cm by 7.0 cm by 0.3 cm and wound was documented as unstageable; right heel measured 6.0 cm by
7.0 cm by 0.1 cm and wound was documented as unstageable and the left heel measured was 8.0 cm by
5.0 cm by 0.1 cm, with no wound classification being documented.
Interview with the LPN #61 on 04/01/25 at 2:00 P.M., confirmed these wounds were not measured upon
admission and should have been. She stated the wound that was documented on admission as being on
the vertebrae was not on the vertebrae, but on the right buttock. LPN #61 verified there was no skin
alteration on the vertebrae.
Review of the policy titled Skin Care Management Procedure, dated 07/01/02 and revised on 12/09/22,
states upon admission or readmission a full skin assessment should be conducted within two to six hours
of arrival and documented in the electronic medical record to ensure proper documentation of existing skin
condition. Weekly skin assessment will be completed and documented in the electronic health record to
identify new areas of concern.
Review of the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP) at
https://www.npuap.org/resources/educational-and-clinical-resources, revealed a pressure injury is localized
damage to the skin and underlying soft tissue usually over a bony prominence or related to a medical or
other device. The injury can present as intact skin or an open ulcer and may be painful. The injury occurs as
a result of intense and/or prolonged pressure or pressure in combination with shear. The tolerance of soft
tissue for pressure and shear may also be affected by microclimate, nutrition, perfusion, co-morbidities and
condition of the soft tissue.

skin with exposed dermis. The wound bed is viable, pink or red, moist, and may also present as an intact or
ruptured serum-filled blister. Adipose (fat) is not visible and deeper tissues are not visible. Granulation
tissue, slough and eschar are not present. These injuries commonly result from adverse microclimate and
shear in the skin over the pelvis and shear in the heel. This stage should not be used to describe moisture
associated skin damage (MASD) including incontinence associated dermatitis (IAD), intertriginous
dermatitis (ITD), medical adhesive related skin injury (MARSI), or traumatic wounds (skin tears, burns,
abrasions).
Stage 3 Pressure Injury: Full-thickness skin loss Full-thickness loss of skin, in which adipose (fat) is visible
in the ulcer and granulation tissue and epibole (rolled wound edges) are often present. Slough and/or
eschar may be visible. The depth of tissue damage varies by anatomical location; areas of significant
adiposity can develop deep wounds. Undermining and tunneling may occur. Fascia, muscle, tendon,
ligament, cartilage and/or bone are not exposed. If slough or eschar obscures the extent of tissue loss this
is an Unstageable Pressure Injury.
Stage 4 Pressure Injury: Full-thickness skin and tissue loss Full-thickness skin and tissue loss with exposed
or directly palpable fascia, muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage or bone in the ulcer. Slough and/or eschar
may be visible. Epibole (rolled edges), undermining and/or tunneling often occur. Depth varies by
anatomical location. If slough or eschar obscures the extent of tissue loss this is an Unstageable Pressure
Injury.
Unstageable Pressure Injury: Obscured full-thickness skin and tissue loss Full-thickness skin and tissue
loss in which the extent of tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because it is obscured by
slough or eschar. If slough or eschar is removed, a Stage 3 or Stage 4 pressure injury will be revealed.
Stable eschar (i.e. dry, adherent, intact without erythema or fluctuance) on the heel or ischemic limb should
not be softened or removed. 1 Deep Tissue Pressure Injury: Persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon or
purple discoloration Intact or non-intact skin with localized area of persistent non-blanchable deep red,
maroon, purple discoloration or epidermal separation revealing a dark wound bed or blood filled blister. Pain
and temperature change often precede skin color changes. Discoloration may appear differently in darkly
pigmented skin. This injury results from intense and/or prolonged pressure and shear forces at the
bone-muscle interface. The wound may evolve rapidly to reveal the actual extent of tissue injury, or may
resolve without tissue loss. If necrotic tissue, subcutaneous tissue, granulation tissue, fascia, muscle or
other underlying structures are visible, this indicates a full thickness pressure injury (Unstageable, Stage 3
or Stage 4). Do not use DTPI to describe vascular, traumatic, neuropathic, or dermatologic conditions.
Based on observation, resident interview, staff interviews, medical record review, physician wound
documentation review, hospital documentation review, National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP)
guidleine review, and policy review, the facility failed to transcribe and implement treatment orders timely for
the treatment of pressure ulcers for two (#68 and #80) residents. Actual harm occurred to one resident
(#68) when wound care orders were not timely implemented on admission, and the resident received no
treatment or intervention from the facility for pressure areas that were present on admission. Resident #68
was admitted with a Stage 2 pressure ulcer to the sacrum/coccyx area on 01/31/25 and received no
treatment until 02/04/25, after the wound increased to an unstageable wound. Furthermore, the facility
failed to assess and timely implement wound care for two (#11 and #12) additional residents that placed
the residents at risk for the potential for more than minimal harm. This affected four (#11, #12, #68 and #80)
of five residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility census was 87.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, resident interviews, family interview, staff interview, and policy review the facility
failed to ensure meals were served to residents at a safe temperature and palatable. This affected four
(#12, #45, #55 and #70) of five residents reviewed for food. This had the potential to affect all the residents .
The facility identified there were not any residents who could not eat anything by mouth. The census was
87.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings included:

the oatmeal was 119, the bacon and the toast was not tested, and the cranberry juice was 56 degrees. The
food was sampled by the surveyor and the eggs, bacon, and toast were cold and the taste was not
palatable.
Interview on 03/25/25 at 7:47 A.M., with Assistant Dietary Manager (ADM) #43 confirmed the meal was
cold and it was because the dietary staff used insulated warmer plates instead of the metal plates. She
reported there were only two halls that the staff could use the metal plates for and the rest of the facility
would receive the insulated plates. She reported the previous company would not pay for new metal plates,
so they continued to use the insulated ones for the entire facility.

Interview on 03/25/25 at 11:13 A.M., with Resident #12 revealed he liked his food to be served hot to him
and reported his food was cold when it was delivered to him for meals.

Based on observation, staff interview and policy review, the facility failed to ensure the kitchen was a clean
environment and food was served in a safe manner. This affected all of the residents. The facility identified
all the residents received meals from the kitchen. The census was 87.
Findings included:
Observation of the kitchen on 03/24/25 at 8:35 A.M., revealed there were five panels of lights in the ceiling
in the dishwasher area, and three sets of five lights in the ceiling that ran from one side of the kitchen area
to the other side that had a grey flaky substance either inside of the light panel or on the outside of the light
panel. There was a vent on the far end of the dishwasher area that had a thick black substance on the
outside of it. Further review revealed there were four windows in the kitchen that had a splashes of a white
substance on all of them and the screens had a thick layer of grey particles on them. During the
observation one of the windows were open and the wind was blowing into the kitchen.

in the kitchen needed#5
Observation of tray line on 03/26/25 at 11:27 A.M., revealed Assistant Dietary Manager (ADM) #43 was
serving the food. She washed her hands and applied gloves and starting plating the food, but the Vegetable
Lasagna became hard to cut so she took her left gloved hand and put it on the Lasagna to get it out of the
pan. She proceeded to reach with right gloved hand to place a piece of garlic bread onto the plate. She
turned around with her gloved hands and went through the meal tickets and came back to the serving line
and continued to serve with the same gloves touching the Lasagna with her left gloved hand and then
picking up a bread stick with the right gloved hand. She used her right gloved hand to reach up to the top of
the steam table and straightened the meals tickets out and then went back to plating the food with using her
left hand to touch the Lasagna and her right gloved hand to pick up the garlic bread stick. She proceeded to
the prep table behind her and pulled off some aluminum foil to cover the bread sticks and continued to plate
the food in the same manner until the surveyor asked her if she should change her gloves in between dirty
surfaces to the food with her gloves on.
Interview on 03/26/25 at 11:37 A.M. with the ADM #43 confirmed she was using her gloved hands from
dirty surfaces to the food and should have changed the gloves or just used the utensils to pick up the food.
Review of the policy titled Handwashing Policy and Procedure, dated 05/01/13, revealed the policy was to
control the development and spread of infection and disease and to ensure that proper hand washing
techniques are followed. Wash hand during work as often as is necessary to keep them clean and to
prevent cross-contamination when changing tasks and when handling exposed food to be cleaned.
