accurate advance directive in the resident record. This affected one resident (#71) of three residents
reviewed for death. Facility census was 65.Findings include:Review of Resident #71's closed medical
record revealed an admission date of [DATE] and diagnoses including muscle wasting and atrophy,
depression, dementia with behavioral disturbance, dysphagia, hypertension and diffuse large B-cell
lymphoma within the intra-abdominal lymph nodes. Review of an admission Minimum Data Set (MDS)

resuscitation (CPR) full code and an order dated [DATE] for admission to hospice for diagnose senile
degeneration of the brain with a prognosis of six months or less provided disease follows its expected
course. No other advance directive orders were noted in Resident #71's medical record.Review of a plan of
care dated [DATE] revealed Resident #71 had an advance directive of full code. Listed interventions
included advance directive and code status will be honored and advance directive will be in the medical
record at all times.Review of hospice documentation faxed to the facility on [DATE] revealed Resident #71
was admitted to hospice services on [DATE] by Hospice Registered Nurse (HRN) #231. Advance directives
were discussed before care was initiated on [DATE] with Resident #71's wife and they did not want CPR or
other life-sustaining measures if his heart or lungs stopped working. A Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order was
also completed at this time. Further review of a death visit note dated [DATE] at 12:25 P.M. and authored by
HRN #228 revealed Resident #71 expired on [DATE] at 12:30 P.M. and CPR was not initiated. The facility
had called to report Resident #71 had expired and upon arrival, HRN #228 confirmed Resident #71 was

#225 recalled UM/LPN #105 told her to don't worry about [the code status] as they [not specified] would
take care of it. RN #225 reported if a resident was full code and were found unresponsive then staff should
initiate CPR and shared on [DATE]

no code was called and CPR was not provided to Resident #71.Interview on [DATE] at 9:05 A.M. with CNA
#107 revealed on [DATE], night shift had gotten Resident #71 up for the day and therapy staff had assisted
him with his breakfast. Hospice staff including Home Health Aide (HHA) #231 was present and took over,
placing Resident #71 in bed and making him comfortable. CNA #107 recalled going in Resident #71's room
with his lunch tray around 11:30 A.M. and tried to wake him up but he had already passed away so she
reported this to the nurse (name not recalled). CNA #107 did not recall Resident #71's advance directive
and confirmed no code was called on [DATE]. Interview on [DATE] at 9:17 A.M. with LPN #183 recalled she
had picked up a shift on [DATE] but was not responsible for Resident #71 and did not recall a code being
called this date. Interview on [DATE] at 10:30 A.M. with HHA #231 revealed she was present with Resident
#71 when he passed away and recalled him looking like he was going to take his last breath in his
wheelchair so she and HRN #228 had placed him in the bed, cleaned him and he passed away 30 minutes
or so later. Interview on [DATE] at 10:38 A.M. with HRN #228 revealed she was present when Resident #71
passed away on [DATE] and recalled he had been actively dying so this was expected. HRN #228 was
asked about Resident #71's advance directive and explained the hospice company would admit residents
with a full code advance directive, but during care conferences and over time discussions would be had
regarding goals of care and the advance directives often changed. HRN #228 pulled up Resident #71's
hospice records during the interview including an advance directive for Do Not Resuscitate Comfort Care
(DNR-CC) signed by Resident #71's wife on [DATE]. HRN #228 explained as they had this advance
directive, CPR was not to be done thus no code was called on [DATE].Telephone interview on [DATE] at
10:58 A.M. with HRN #231 revealed when a resident signed on hospice services, consents were completed
including advance directives and the hospice company would then fax the consent and advance directive to
the facility. HRN #231 stated during a hospice admission he had no way to print out an advance directive
and he was not the staff responsible to fax these documents to the facility.Telephone interview on [DATE] at
11:16 A.M. with Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) #226 revealed she had been notified Resident #71 had
signed onto hospice services during [DATE] and reviewed the facility record during the interview which
indicated Resident #71 had an advance directive of full code. CNP #226 stated she was surprised to read
this as usually when residents signed on hospice, hospice staff could come in, educate the resident and
family on advance directives and most of the time an advance directive of Do Not Resuscitate would be put
in place. CNP #226 stated hospice staff were responsible for completion of the new advance directive form
as the hospice medical director signed off on it and usually hospice would fax these documents to the
facility. During the interview CNP #226 confirmed she only could find evidence Resident #71 was to be a
full code from the facility's records.During an interview on [DATE] at 12:40 P.M. the Administrator and the
Director of Nursing (DON) were made aware of the discrepancies in the facility's documentation regarding
Resident #71's advance directive of full code not matching the accurate DNR-CC advance directive
documents from the hospice company and did not disagree with these findings.Review of the facility policy,
Advance Directives, revised 2021 revealed if the resident representative has executed one or more
advance directive(s) copies of these documents are obtained and maintained in the same section of the
resident's medical record and are readily retrievable by any facility staff. The director of nursing services
(DNS) or designee notifies the attending physicianof advance directives or changes in advance directives
so that appropriate orders can be documented in the resident's medical record and plan of care. The
resident wishes are communicated to the resident's direct care staff and physician by placing the
documents in a prominent, accessible location in the medical record.the plan of care for each resident is
consistent with his or her documented treatment preferences and/or

a neuro exam which appeared normal, she witnessed Resident #62 vomiting, then she ordered neuro
checks to be continued by the nurses per the protocol and ordered Zofran for the nausea and vomiting.
CNP #226 revealed she asked Resident #62 if she wanted to go to the hospital and stated, I recommended
she stay, but it was up to her and she said no. CNP #226 revealed she had the nurse call the surgeon and
they deferred to back to the CNP and revealed when she went to the hospital, it was because the daughter
wanted her sent. CNP #226 confirmed she never spoke to the daughter after the fall to discuss the fall or
potential risks. CNP #226 revealed after the fall, the staff never reported any changes in Resident #62's
condition or she would have sent her out. Interview on 12/30/25 at 1:45 P.M. with RN #109 regarding the fall
on 12/18/25 revealed her first instinct was to have Resident #62 sent out, but the NP assessed her and
decided not to send her. The NP saw her twice that day. RN #109 revealed the time frames in the progress
notes for how the day went was inaccurate because she did not document at the times she completed
tasks for Resident

revealed RN #109 was Resident #62's primary nurse that day and revealed several times they tried to get
Resident #62 off the floor, they had to lay her back down because when they sat her up, she would throw
up. The staff went to get the CNP who did neuro checks then they helped and got Resident #62 up off the
floor and she (LPN #135) left and went back to her assignment. Record review with Director of Nursing

Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, observation, interview, and policy review, the facility failed to implement a
comprehensive, resident centered plan for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers for Resident #26
and Resident #48. This affected two residents (Resident #26 and #48) of three residents reviewed for
pressure ulcers.Actual harm occurred beginning on 12/08/25 when Resident #26 who was dependent on
staff for activities of daily living, had current pressure ulcers and was at risk of developing additional
pressure ulcers was found to have a new open wound area to the gluteal/upper thigh. The facility failed to
complete a comprehensive wound assessment of the area, failed to provide appropriate/adequate
interventions, and failed to ensure the facility wound physician and wound nurse were timely notified of to
prevent the deterioration of the of the wound. On 12/15/25 the wound was first assessed to be an
unstageable (a full-thickness wound where the actual depth is hidden by dead tissue (slough or eschar)
pressure ulcer to the gluteal area which deteriorated and required antibiotics for a wound infection. Findings
include:1. Record review revealed Resident #26 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis
including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting left dominant side, contracture
unspecified joint, pressure ulcer sacral region Stage III (full-thickness skin loss, where fat is visible but
bone, tendon, or muscle isn't exposed, creating a deep crater that can have rolled edges (epibole) and
slough) and bed confinement status. Additional diagnosis added and dated 12/30/25 to included pressure
ulcer left elbow unstageable, pressure ulcer left buttocks unstageable, pressure ulcer left heel unstageable,
and pressure ulcer of the right heel unstageable.Review of the admission Medicare five-day Minimum Data
Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #26 was rarely or never understood. Resident #26
had an indwelling catheter, was always incontinent of bowel and bladder, was dependent (on staff) for
eating, toileting hygiene, personal hygiene, bed mobility, chair/bed to chair transfer. The assessment
revealed Resident #26 was at risk for pressure ulcers, had unhealed pressure ulcers, one Stage III present
upon admission and no other pressure ulcers were present. Resident #26 had a pressure reducing device
for the bed and received pressure ulcer injury care.Review of the care plan dated 09/22/25 revealed
Resident #26 was at risk for skin breakdown/pressure ulcers related to osteomyelitis, left hemiparesis and
diabetes mellitus. Interventions included to administer medication and treatments as ordered, keep skin
clean and dry to the extent possible, and enhanced barrier precautions. Review of the care plan and
physician orders revealed no documentation of turning or repositioning restrictions. Review of the progress
note for Resident #26 dated 12/08/25 at 4:05 P.M. completed by Registered Nurse (RN) #224 revealed
during the wound treatment round this nurse observed a new open area on left back of upper thigh and its
skin bruise and tear so this nurse put dressing on it so this nurse clean with ns (normal saline) pat it dry
and cover it with foam dressing and notified all responsible party.Review of the physician orders, Treatment
Administration Records (TAR) and progress notes for Resident #26 revealed no physician order was
obtained for care or treatment to Resident #26's new wound documented in the progress note on 12/08/25

to cleanse with normal saline, pat dry, apply calcium alginate with silver to the wound bed only, cover with
dry dressing daily and as needed.Review of a Skin issues Note/Form for Resident #26 dated 12/29/25
completed by Wound Care Nurse LPN #148 revealed the left gluteus unstageable pressure injury was
deteriorating. The wound bed had 100% slough present, the wound was in-house acquired, had heavy
exudate with a faint odor, the surrounding tissue was dark reddish brown, and the dressing had heavy
dressing saturation. The wound measured five cm in length by 13 cm in width by 1.7 cm depth.Review of
the physician order dated 12/29/25 for Resident #26 revealed new orders for wound treatment to the left
gluteus, cleanse with 0.25% Dakins, pat dry, pack wound with Mesalt ribbon, cover with foam dressing daily
and as needed. An additional order dated 12/29/25 included Doxycycline Hyclate (antibiotic) oral tablet 100
milligrams (mg) give one tablet by mouth two times a day, prophylactically, for wound infection for 14
days.Interview on 12/29/25 at 11:15 A.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #199 revealed resident
rounds which included turning and repositioning, would be done after breakfast, then after lunch and before
dinner. CNA #199 revealed rounds including turning and repositioning should be done three times in a
12-hour shift.Interview on 12/29/25 at 11:45 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #183 revealed
residents should be checked and changed every two hours. However, the LPN revealed residents were not
checked, changed, turned and repositioned timely. Observation on 12/29/25 at 1:32 P.M. revealed Resident
#26 was lying in bed. Resident #26 was lying on his backside. Resident #26 was difficult to understand.
Resident #26 was not observed to have an indwelling catheter.Record review and interview on 12/29/25 at
1:36 P.M. with Wound Care Nurse LPN #148 revealed Resident #26 was admitted to the facility with a
Stage III sacral wound. Since admission, Resident #26 developed five additional in-house pressure ulcers,
a left elbow in-house unstageable pressure ulcer (found on 12/18/25), a left heel and right heel unstageable
in -house pressure ulcers (found on 10/09/25), and a right planter foot unstageable in-house pressure ulcer
(with 100% eschar when found on 12/11/25). The LPN indicated the sacral wound had since been
improving and all other wounds were stable. On 12/08/25 a pressure ulcer was found on Resident #26's
gluteus area. The nurse who identified the area documented the pressure ulcer as a bruise and skin tear
but never notified Wound Care Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) #238 or the facility wound care nurse,
and an order was not obtained to treat or care for the wound until Wound Care Nurse LPN #148 was
notified on 12/11/25 (three days later) of the area. Wound Care Nurse LPN #148 revealed at first she
thought the wound was due to the resident being wet because he was a heavy wetter and the wound also
had excoriation around it, but when Wound Care CNP #238 assessed the wound on 12/11/25, it was
determined by Wound Care CNP #238 it was an unstageable pressure ulcer. Wound Care Nurse LPN #148
revealed Resident #26 does not refuse care to the wound team and was never told of him refusing any
care. Wound Care Nurse LPN #148 revealed she believed the wound was caused from Resident #26 not
getting up out of bed often, being a heavy wetter, and he had been staying in bed to help heal his wounds.
Wound Care Nurse LPN #148 revealed Resident #26 was transferred from the second floor (on 12/22/25)
where the long term care residents resided down to the first floor where he could be monitored more
closely. Resident #26 was ordered an indwelling catheter to be placed 12/29/25. Wound Care Nurse LPN
#148 confirmed the date on the Skin Issue Form/Note indicated the date the wound on the left gluteus was
found was 12/11/25, Wound Care Nurse LPN #148 confirmed that was an incorrect date because the
wound was actually found on 12/08/25. Interview on 12/29/25 at 3:05 P.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA) #107 revealed she provided care for Resident #26. CNA #107 revealed Resident #26 needed turned

the nurse to notify the Wound Care CNP for orders because she was the one who takes care of the
residents' wounds. Interview on 12/31/25 between 10:00 A.M. and 3:30 P.M. with Wound Care CNP #238
revealed she had concerns with Resident #26's wound to the left gluteus, the wound worsened and
required surgical debridement and due to an infection in the wound, Resident #26 required an oral
antibiotic. Wound Care CNP #238 revealed she should be notified of new wounds when they occur and
confirmed she was not notified of Resident #26's wound to the left gluteus until 12/11/25.Observation on
12/31/25 at 4:10 P.M. of wound care to Resident #26's left gluteus wound completed by Wound Care Nurse
LPN #148 revealed the left gluteus wound had a strong foul odor with drainage visible covering the outside
of the dressing. The wound bed was 100% a dark gray color with sloughing. Wound Care Nurse LPN #148
confirmed the wound was tunneling. Resident #26 moaned and yelled out loud intermittently throughout the
wound care. A request was made for a wound care prevention policy. The facility provided a policy on
wound care but it did not include skin management or prevention. Review of the facility policy titled,
Repositioning revised May 2013 revealed repositioning was a common, effective intervention for preventing
skin breakdown, promoting circulation and providing pressure relief. If an existing ulcer was present,
positioning the resident on an existing ulcer should be avoided. Evaluation included does the resident need
scheduled position changes? Does the resident need positioning changes more frequently than hourly?
Interventions included a turning/repositioning program includes a continuous consistent program for
changing the residents position and realigning the body. A program is defined as a resident's approach
documented, monitored, and evaluated. Residents who were in bed should be on at least an
every-two-hour repositioning schedule. If ineffective, the turning and repositioning frequency would be
increased. 2. Record review for Resident #48 revealed an admission date of 10/23/23 with diagnoses
including multiple sclerosis, muscle weakness, and paraplegia with lower extremity contractures.Review of
the care plan initiated 01/15/24 revealed Resident #48 had increased risk for skin breakdown and pressure
ulcer formation due to impaired and reduced mobility. Interventions included to administer treatments as
ordered by the physician, offload heals, positioning pillows to lower extremities, and prafo boots to keep
heels elevated off the bed per physician orders.Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS)
assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #48 was rarely or never understood. Resident #48 had a
pressure ulcer over a bony prominence, was at risk for developing pressure ulcers, had one Stage II (partial
thickness loss of skin that exposes the dermis, which is the middle layer of skin. The wound may also
appear as a blister or abrasion and is typically tender and painful.) present on admission, entry or reentry,
two Stage III ulcers with one of those present on admission/entry or reentry. The assessment revealed
Resident #48 had a pressure reducing device to the bed.Observation on 12/29/25 at 11:30 A.M. with
Hospice Registered Nurse (RN) #228 revealed Resident #48 was lying in bed. Resident #48's bilateral
lower legs were severely contracted, one pressing tightly against the other. Observation revealed nothing
was in place to separate the bone on bone contact. Hospice RN #228 confirmed Resident #48 had a
