F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on facility policy review, observations, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure care and services are provided in accordance with professional standards of practice to meet each resident's physical, mental, and psychosocial needs for two of 35 residents reviewed (Residents 25 and 136). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of facility policy, titled Skin Assessment, undated, with the last review date of March 26, 2024, revealed, in part, A full body, or head to toe, skin assessment should be conducted by a licensed or registered nurse upon admission/re-admission and weekly thereafter.

Review of Resident 25's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included type 2 diabetes mellitus (impairment in the way the body regulates and uses sugar [glucose] as a fuel resulting in too much sugar circulating in the bloodstream) and edema (swelling caused by excess fluid accumulation in the body tissues). Review of Resident 25's October 2024 TAR (Treatment Administration Record - form used to document physician orders as well as when and how treatments are administered to a resident) revealed a physician order for Ace wraps (elastic bandage that applies pressure to control swelling) to be applied in the morning and removed at bedtime daily for edema, starting September 28, 2024. Observations on October 28, 2024, at 11:58 AM and at 1:26 PM; on October 29, 2024, at 9:04 AM; and on October 30, 2024, at 9:17 AM and at 12:25 PM, revealed that no ace wraps had been applied to Resident 25.

F 0684 Review or Resident 136's order history revealed an order to Cleanse left elbow with wound cleanser. Apply Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Xeroform gauze. Cover with ABD pad. Secure with conforming roll gauze and tape. Discontinue order once healed. Every day shift for Wound Care with a start date of September 16, 2024, and discontinuation date of October 2, 2024. Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident 136's clinical record progress notes failed to reveal any documentation regarding a current skin issue to their left elbow. Review of a progress note dated October 1, 2024, indicated the wound to their left elbow was resolved. Review of Resident 136's September Treatment Administration Record revealed that their weekly full body assessment was coded N on September 5, 12, 19, and 26, 2024. Review of Resident 136's October Treatment Administration Record revealed that their weekly full body assessment was coded Y on October 3, 2024, and N on October 10, 17, and 24, 2024. Review of Resident 136's assessments in the clinical record failed to reveal that a weekly skin observation tool had been completed since August 22, 2024. Follow-up observations of Resident 136 on October 29, 2024, at 1:33 PM, and on October 30, 2024, at 10:18 AM and 12:15 PM, revealed the presence of one dressing to their elbow, which had a small area dark brown-black discoloration and was not dated. Email communication received from the DON on October 31, 2024, at 8:27 AM, indicated that she had investigated the aforementioned observations and findings. She revealed that nurses were interviewed and declined putting bandage on resident. The nurse said that the hospice nurse was in the past few days. The UM [Unit Manager] contacted hospice nurse who stated that she put the bandage on him because it was scabbed over and she didn't want it to open up. She stated she did not tell the nurse or the unit manager and didn't send over a recommendation. She apologized and said she'd fax over a recommendation. This morning, I [DON] did receive a verbal order for a foam bordered dressing to left elbow for protection and to change every 3 days and PRN [as needed]. I [DON] will be putting the order in the computer today. During an interview with the DON and the Assistant DON on October 31, 2024, at 9:08 AM, the concern of Resident 136 having no documented weekly skin observation tool since August 22, 2024, and Treatment Administration Records being coded as N was shared. The DON indicated that the coding was to indicate that the weekly observation tool was (Y) or was not completed (N). She confirmed that the coding of N would indicate that the skin check was not completed. She said she would look at it but, at that point, would have to agree that the documentation to support weekly skin checks was lacking. During a final interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and DON on October 31, 2024, at 11:04 AM, the DON confirmed that she had no additional documentation to provide that would show that Resident 136 had a weekly skin assessment. She said the hospice nurse should have communicated her intervention to facility at time of occurrence. The DON further indicated that facility nurses may not necessarily have noted that Resident 136 had a bandage on their elbow if a treatment was not ordered for their shift. The NHA and DON both confirmed that Resident 136 should have received a weekly (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395660 If continuation sheet Page 5 of 13 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 395660 B.
