Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on clinical record reviews and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed
to implement the comprehensive care plan interventions to prevent pressure ulcer healing and discomfort
for one of three resident reviewed (Resident R1).
Findings include:
Review of R1's records revealed a care plan dated December 24, 2023, documenting the resident has a
pressure ulcer or has potential for pressure ulcer development related to disease process, immobility, sacral
wound.
Interventions documented the need for staff to elevate/offload heels when in bed as tolerated using pillows,
bootie, heel protectors or heel cushions.
Observation of R1 on January 17, 2024, at 12:30 p.m., revealed the resident lying in bed with resident's
heels contacting a pillow. Observations also revealed resident wearing socks, with no heel booties, heel
protectors or heel cushions. Further observation of resident's room revealed heel booties sitting on air
conditioner unit.
Interview on January 17, 2024, at 12:35 p.m., with E3 revealed that R1 often refused to wear the heel
booties because they were painful.
Observation of R1 on January 17, 2024, at 1:50 p.m., revealed that staff had put the heel booties on the
resident, although it was known to staff that the resident did not like to wear them because they were
painful. Interview with the resident confirmed they were painful, and the resident did not want to wear them.
Interview conducted on January 17, 2024, at approximately 3:30 p.m., with Nursing Home Administrator
and Director of nursing, confirmed Resident R1 was care planned for pressure ulcers with interventions to
include elevate/offload heels when in bed as tolerated using pillows, heel booties, heel protectors or heel
cushions but the interventions were not implemented, as noted by observation.
The facility failed to implement Resident R1's comprehensive care plan which included interventions to
offload heels to prevent pressure wounds.
