Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policy, review of resident clinical record, observations and interviews with residents and
staff, it determined that the facility did not timely update a resident's care plan to incorporate evolving
clinical findings, resident preferences, and refusals of care for one of ten residents reviewed (Resident R1)
Findings include: Review of the resident care plan policy titled Care Plans, Comprehensive Person
Centered (Revised March 2022) revealed that a comprehensive, person-centered care plan must be
developed and implemented for each resident. This care plan is required to include measurable objectives
and timetables to address the resident's physical, psychosocial, and functional needs. It must describe the
services necessary to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable level of physical, mental, and
psychosocial well-being. The plan should also account for services that may not be provided due to the
resident exercising their rights, including the right to refuse treatment. Additionally, it must outline any
specialized services required based on past assessments or professional recommendations and identify
the professionals responsible for each aspect of care. The care plan should incorporate the resident's
stated goals, build on their strengths, and reflect current recognized standards of practice for managing
their specific conditions and problems. Resident assessments are ongoing, and care plans must be revised
promptly as new information about the resident's condition becomes available or as their needs change.
Review of Resident R1's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS), a federally mandated assessment tool for all
residents, revealed that Resident R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. At admission, the resident had
a cognitive BIMS score of 15, used a wheelchair, and was independent with most activities. The resident's
diagnoses included anemia (a condition characterized by a lack of healthy red blood cells to carry adequate
oxygen to body tissues), peripheral vascular disease (PVD), which affects blood vessels outside the heart
and brain-typically in the legs-caused by narrowing or blockage due to fatty deposits, leading to reduced
blood flow, leg pain with walking (claudication), numbness, and slow-healing wounds. Other diagnoses
were diabetes, a chronic condition affecting blood sugar processing, with main types including Type 1, Type
2, and gestational diabetes; arthritis, an inflammatory joint condition causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and
limited motion; cellulitis of the lower limb, a bacterial skin infection affecting deeper layers of skin and
underlying tissue; narcolepsy, a chronic neurological disorder impacting sleep-wake regulation, causing
excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep episodes; Sjogren's syndrome, a chronic autoimmune
disease where the immune system attacks moisture-producing glands; vasculitis, inflammation of blood
vessels causing thickening, weakening, narrowing, or scarring that can restrict blood flow and damage
organs and tissues; and a history of falls. Review of Resident R1's Wound Notes dated August 13, 2025
noted Resident evaluated in bed with staff for BLE (bilateral legs) wounds/vasculitis. New open areas noted
on the left shin. BLE baseline pink discoloration. Resident reported a burning sensation from Hydrogel

treatment. Toe dressings were off. Wound note dated September 10, 2025 revealed Resident examined at
bedside with staff including DON (Director of Nursing), ADON (Assistant Director of Nursing), unit
managers, and staff nurse. Resident reported self-ordering and applying dressings, described as ABD pads
with tape and foam dressings. No treatment observed on BLE heels or great toes. Resident reported
dressings frequently come off and expressed burning sensations with gauze treatment. Resident refused
Dakin's cleansing, gauze, wound gel, and calcium alginate treatments citing burning sensations. Current
treatment was Xeroform. Staff reported resident refusal of treatment changes, which the resident denied.
Discussion with staff present revealed challenges in assessing treatment effectiveness due to resident
removing prescribed dressings and self-applying unapproved dressings. Resident continues to use heels to
self-propel wheelchair despite PCP (Primary Care Physician) recommendations for wheelchair leg lifts,
which the resident does not use. Resident is inconsistent with compression therapy and declined heel lift
boots. Review of the resident's care plan, initiated on August 25, 2025, revealed that the resident has skin
breakdown and/or potential for skin breakdown related to cardiovascular disease, edema, a history of skin
breakdown, impaired sensory perception, neuropathy, and vasculitis. Continued review of the resident's
care plan failed to address interventions related to the resident purchasing own treatment supplies and risk
and consequences of applying these treatments. 28 Pa. Code (d)(1) Nursing Services28 Pa. Code (c)(d)
