The facility census was 104.

Review of Resident #107's admission minimum data set (MDS) revealed a brief interview for mental status score of 12 indicating the resident was moderately cognitively impaired. Further review of Resident #107's MDS revealed the resident to be at risk for pressure ulcers, to be receiving a surgical wound care and to be using a pressure reducing mattress. Review of Resident #107's care plan revealed no care plan in place to prevent the development of pressure ulcers. In an interview on 04/02/25 at 12:11 P.M. MDS Coordinator Registered Nurse #533 verified the MDS indicated Resident #107 was at risk for pressure ulcers and that a care plan was not in place to prevent pressure ulcers for Resident #107. In an interview on 04/02/25 at 2:55 P.M. Certified Nursing Assistant #624 revealed she was not aware of Resident #107 having any skin impairments other that her surgical incision. This deficiency is an incidental finding discovered during the complaint investigation.
