Based on employee personnel file review, review of the facility criminal background log, review of the facility
daily timecard activity, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure nursing staff with
disqualifying legal convictions were not employed by the facility. This affected all 31 residents residing in the
facility.Findings include:Review of the personnel file revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #200 was
hired on 10/28/25.Review of the facility criminal background log noted LPN #200's criminal background
investigation was submitted on 10/27/25 and returned on 11/20/25.According to facility daily timecard
activity noted LPN #200 worked a scheduled shift on 01/06/26 between 6:53 A.M. and 7:36 P.M.Interview
on 01/08/26 at 7:50 A.M., the Administrator revealed LPN #200 was charged and found guilty of domestic
violence. Upon hire LPN #200 had not disclosed the guilty conviction. When LPN #200's criminal
background check was returned the acting human resources staff had not discovered the conviction and
recorded the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) results as acceptable for employment. The
Administrator stated the facility would not have hired LPN #200 due to the disqualifying code and related
legal conviction. On 01/08/26 at 8:40 A.M. interview with Business Office Manager/Human Resource (BOM)

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, observation, and staff and resident interview, the facility failed to ensure
interventions to manage lower extremity edema were implemented in accordance with physician orders.
This affected two (#05 and #06) of six residents reviewed for physician prescribed treatment applications.
The facility census was 31.Findings include:1. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #05 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included lymphedema, major depression, cellulitis, chronic
venous hypertension with lower extremity ulcer, chronic peripheral venous insufficiency, morbid obesity,
epilepsy, cellulitis on right toe, and history of transient ischemic attack. Review of the most current Minimum
Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #05 had moderately impaired cognition,
delusions, no behaviors, required setup or clean-up assistance with activities of daily living, at risk for
pressure ulcer development, received an antidepressant, a diuretic, an antiplatelet, and anticonvulsant
medications.Review of the 11/30/23 nursing plan of care was revised to address Resident #05's risk for
impaired skin integrity due to a history of cellulitis and edema. Interventions included follow facility protocols
for treatment of injury, identify/document potential causative factors and eliminate/resolve where possible,
keep skin clean and dry, use lotion on dry skin, monitor/document location, size and treatment of skin injury,
report abnormalities, failure to heal, signs and symptoms of infection, maceration, and the resident needs
pressure relieving/reducing mattress to protect the skin while in bed.On 12/26/25 at 7:00 P.M., a physician
order for Resident #05 was implemented for the application to bilateral lower extremities. Instructions
included wash pat dry, apply UNNA boot dressing from the toes to below the knee, cover with Coban

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
medical record review, observation, staff interview, facility policy review, and manufacturer user manual, the
facility failed to ensure pressure relieving interventions were implemented to promote healing and prevent
the development of pressure ulcers. Actual Harm occurred when Resident #02 was placed on a faulty
alternating air mattress without standard wound or equipment assessment which resulted in the
deterioration of an existing stage IV pressure ulcer (full-thickness loss with exposed bone/muscle/tendon)
and the development of three in-house acquired unstageable (obscured by sloth/eschar) deep tissue
injuries (purple/maroon discoloration, intact or blistered skin) to the back and buttock. This affected one
(#02) of four residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility census was 31.Findings include:Review of
the medical record revealed Resident #02 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included
multiple sclerosis, sepsis, hypertension, non-pressure chronic ulcer of the buttock, anemia, severe protein
calorie malnutrition, depression, anxiety disorder, myocardial infarction, neuromuscular dysfunction of
bladder, chronic respiratory failure, Crohn's disease, colostomy, stage IV left buttock pressure ulcer, and
confined to the bed. On 08/04/25, a non-compliance care plan was implemented with intervention to
document educational attempts made with resident in relation to compliance. Explain all procedures prior to
starting them and the benefits of the procedure. Notify the physician/certified nurse practitioner of
non-compliance.On 11/07/25, a nursing plan of care was revised to address Resident #02's behavior
problem making false claims and resistance to care. Interventions included administer medications as
ordered and monitor effectiveness. Anticipate and meet resident's needs; however, there were no
interventions listed on the care plan to address how the resident needs would be met. On 12/23/25, the
nursing plan of care was revised to address Resident #02's stage IV pressure ulcer located on the left
buttock. Interventions included administer treatment as ordered and monitor effectiveness. Educate
resident/family/caregivers as to the cause of the breakdown, including transfer/positioning requirements,
importance of taking care during ambulating/mobility, good nutrition and frequent repositioning, float
bilateral heels in the bed as tolerated, follow facility policies/protocols for prevention/treatment of skin
breakdown, and low air loss relieving mattress to the bed. Check the function of setting every shift. Change
the mattress as needed (PRN). Monitor/document/report as needed (PRN) any changes in skin status,
appearance, color, wound healing, signs or symptoms of infection, wound size (length by width by depth),
and the stage. Teach the resident/family the importance of changing positions for prevention of pressure
ulcers. Encourage small frequent position changes. The resident needed monitoring/reminding/assistance
to turn/reposition side to side at least every two hours, more often as needed or requested. On 12/23/25,
there was a physician order for the placement of a Low Air loss (LAL) relieving mattress to the bed. Check
function of setting every shift for bed monitoring. There was no documentation or instruction indicated or
prescribed for the low air loss mattress settings. Review of the wound specialist physician assessment
completed on 12/24/25 revealed Resident #02 was assessed with a stage IV pressure ulcer to the left
superior buttocks measuring 8.0 centimeters (cm) long by 4.0 cm wide by 0.3 cm deep with heavy
serosanguinous drainage. Interventions included reposition per facility protocol, off-load wounds, and turn
side to side in bed.Review of the nursing progress notes revealed on 12/27/25 at 11:55 A.M. Resident #02
experienced mental status changes and was subsequently sent to the hospital for evaluation. Review of the
hospital community referral documentation dated 01/02/26 identified pressure ulcers noted on left buttock
stage one measuring 8.0 cm by 2.0 cm and a stage II (partial skin loss, exposed dermis) of the left buttock
measuring 4 cm by 5.5 cm. The wounds were described as moist, bleeding, excoriated,

painful and red. The physician wound treatment included cleanse the wound with mild soap and water and
apply a thin layer of TRIAD as barrier and autolytic debridement, no cover (open to air). Review of the
readmission nursing assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #02 returned to the facility following
hospitalization. Resident #02 was assessed as alert and cognitively intact, utilized a urinary indwelling
catheter and colostomy for elimination, area of skin breakdown to buttocks, bedfast all or most of the time,
upper and lower bilateral extremity range of motion impairment, and dependent on staff for the completion
of activities of daily living (ADL). Additional review of the nursing readmission assessment dated [DATE]
identified an area of skin breakdown to the buttocks; however, no wound description or measurements were
documented. The medical record lacked documentation indicating the type of skin breakdown, interventions
placed to the residents' bed, or assessment of a low air loss mattress for proper fit and/or operation.Review
of the medical record, including treatment administration records lacked documentation indicating the
function of the alternating air mattress was monitored each shift between 01/02/26 and 01/05/26.On
01/02/26 at 6:00 P.M., the clinical admission progress notes document Resident #02 with a stage IV
pressure ulcer to the left buttock. No further skin breakdown, wound descriptions or measurements were
documented. No treatment applications, including TRIAD barrier/autolytic debridement, were documented
in the medical record between 01/02/26 and 01/04/26 at 7:00 P.M.Review of the physician orders on
01/04/26 at 7:00 P.M., the buttock wound dressing was changed to include cleansing with normal saline,
pat dry, apply calcium alginate, cut to fit, and cover with dry dressing twice daily.On 01/04/26 at 7:21 P.M., a
skin check evaluation was completed and noted a left buttock wound measuring approximately 11.0 cm by
6.0 cm with bloody drainage. Review of the nurses' notes dated 01/05/26 at 5:00 P.M., revealed nursing
discussed with Resident #02 getting transferred into a wheelchair while the bed mattress was being worked
on. The resident stated earlier in the day her family would be in to transfer her into her wheelchair. Family
was in to visit but had not transferred the resident to the wheelchair. The writer asked the resident if a
mechanical lift could be used as ordered to work on the mattress. The resident refused to be transferred.
The resident stated she would be okay in bed as is until the next time her family came and visited to
transfer her. There was no further documentation contained in the medical record regarding attempts to
replace the faulty mattress, or additional interventions to decrease pressure and prevent associated skin
breakdown. The medical record lacked documentation indicating attempts to reposition the resident or
resident refusal of repositioning, nor off-loading attempts or positioning side to side between 01/02/26 and
01/07/26. There was no physician or certified nurse practitioner notification of the refusal contained in the
medical record.Review of the Plan of Care (POC) response history task resident turn and reposition while
in bed documentation revealed there was no documented evidence of repositioning between 01/02/26 and
01/03/26 until 4:52 A.M. on 01/03/26. On 01/03/26, repositioning occurred at 4:52 A.M., 8:46 A.M., 4:27

were noted under her lower extremities filling a gap between the foot board and the bottom of mattress
measuring approximately 18 inches. Resident #02 stated the air mattress was not properly inflated and she
was sitting on the metal bed frame underneath her. Resident #02 stated the same low air loss mattress was
in place since before she went to the hospital most recently.Interview and observation on 01/07/26 at 8:43
A.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #202 verified assuming care of Resident #02 at 7:00 A.M. LPN #202
proceeded to Resident #02's room and was unaware Resident #02's low air loss mattress was
malfunctioning or had an active alarm. LPN #202 verified the alternate alarm was active. LPN #202 went on
to state she was unaware how to verify the alternating air mattress was operating as designed. LPN #202
would check the sides of the air mattress and would not check to see if the mattress was properly inflated
under the resident. LPN #202 went on to verify Resident #02 was sitting with direct pressure on the metal
bedframe to the residents' buttocks.According to the alternating air mattress user manual (undated) the
mattress audible/visible alarm turns on after one minute when there is low pressure, power failure or
alternate failure. To mute audible alarm, press the alarm mute button. The visible alarm indicator will flash till
problem is solved. If the mattress stops alternating or alternate abnormally, the audible alarm will be
activated, and the alternate failure indicator will flash. For nursing and caring convenience, press the max
firm button to automatically inflate the mattresses to maximum level for about 20 minutes. The pressure will
return to alternate mode after 20 minutes. Observation on 01/07/26 at 12:20 P.M., a skin evaluation was
completed with the wound specialist physician and Registered Nurse (RN) #300. Resident #02 was
assessed with the following skin impairments: left superior buttock full thickness stage IV pressure wound
with duration greater than 443 days, measuring 17 cm by 10 cm by 0.1 cm with heavy serosanguinous
exudate (drainage); the right buttock unstageable deep tissue injury, etiology pressure duration greater than
one day, measured 3.5 cm by 4.5 cm, skin intact with purple/maroon discoloration; right upper back
unstageable deep tissue injury, etiology pressure duration greater than one day, measured 1.1 cm by 2.8
cm, skin intact with purple/maroon discoloration; and the right lower back unstageable deep tissue injury,
etiology pressure duration greater than one day, measured 0.8 cm by 1.2 cm, skin intact with
purple/maroon discoloration.Review of the facility policy titled Pressure Ulcers/Skin Breakdown Clinical
Protocol, revised April 2018 revealed the staff, and practitioners will examine the skin of newly admitted
residents for evidence of existing pressure ulcers or other skin conditions. The physician will order pertinent
wound treatments, including pressure reduction surfaces, wound cleansing and debridement approaches,
dressings, and application of topical agents. Current approaches should be reviewed for whether they
remain pertinent to the resident/patient's medical conditions, are affected by factors influencing wound
development or healing, and the impact or specific treatment choices made by the resident patient or a
substitute decision-maker.Interview on 01/08/26 at 6:05 A.M., with Regional Registered Nurse #400 and
Interim Director of Nursing #201 during the review of Resident #02's medical record verified wound
measurements and descriptions were not obtained at the time of admission and not until 01/07/26 when
evaluated by the wound specialist physician. Furthermore, following Resident #02's refusal on 01/05/26 to
change the air mattress, the medical record lacked attempts to reapproach, determine underlying cause for
refusal, or additional interventions to promote skin integrity.This deficiency represents non-compliance
investigated under Complaint Number 2702722.

Based on observation, staff interview, review of the control substance inventory sheet, and policy review,
the facility failed to ensure controlled substances and narcotic medications were correctly handled, and
inventoried. This affected eight (#07, #15, #06, #16, #23, #22, #09 and #21) of eight residents identified by
the facility who received narcotic medications. In addition, the facility failed to ensure narcotic medications
were reconciled at the point of administration. This affected one (#07) of eight residents who received
narcotic medication. The facility census was 31. Findings include:Observation on 01/08/26 at 3:14 A.M.
noted pharmaceuticals delivered to the facility by pharmacy delivery staff. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
#201 was handed a package containing medications from the pharmacy delivery staff. No attempt to count
the medications or review the contents of the package and pharmacy delivery staff immediately exited the
facility.At 3:17 A.M., LPN #201 was observed placing medication cards which included controlled
substances/narcotic medications in the two facility medication carts. No additional staff was observed to
monitor the placement of the medications on the carts.On 01/08/26 at 3:25 A.M., a reconciliation count of
narcotic medications contained in the front medication cart discovered a medication control monitoring
inventory sheet of Oxycodone (opioid/narcotic pain medication) 5-325 milligrams (mg) prescribed to
Resident #07 with a total inventory of 23 tablets. Observation of the Oxycodone 5-325 mg medication card
containing the tablets was noted to equal 22 tablets.Interview with LPN #201 at the time of the observation
verified the medication reconciliation count was not accurate. LPN #201 stated she previously administered
the medication to Resident #07. But had not made the removal of the narcotic on the medication control
monitoring inventory sheet at the time of the removal. LPN #201 verified the medication should have been
recorded as removed at the time of administration.Review of the policy titled Controlled Substances,
revised November 2022 revealed controlled substances are counted upon delivery. The nurse receiving the
medication, along with the person delivering the medication, must count all controlled substances together.
Both individuals sign the designated controlled substance record. Controlled substance inventory is
monitored and reconciled to identify loss or potential diversion in a manner that minimizes the time between
loss/diversion and detection/follow-up. Nursing staff count controlled medication inventory at the end of
each shift. The nurse coming on duty and the nurse going off duty make the count together and document
and report any discrepancies to the director of nursing services.Interview on 01/12/26 at 7:30 A.M.,
Regional Registered Nurse #400 provided a list of eight current residents identified who received
narcotics/controlled medications on 01/08/26. The list included Residents (#07, #15, #06, #16, #23, #22,
#09 and #21). A follow-up interview at 1:30 P.M., the Regional Registered Nurse #400 verified medication
delivery required the receiving nurse and the delivery personnel to count the delivery including when
narcotics are delivered.This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number
2702722.
