This survey cited 4 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to consult with the physician when the resident experienced a change in condition for one (Resident #1) of three residents reviewed for a change of condition. The facility failed to notify the responsible party or family of a change in condition for Resident #1 after finding a new wound on her buttocks on 7/22/2024. This failure could affect residents by placing them at risk for a delay in medical treatment, worsening in condition. Findings included: Record review of the face sheet dated 2/13/2025 indicated Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including cerebral infarction (stroke), paranoid schizophrenia (hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized speech), contractures of left and right knee (permanent shortening or tightening of muscles, tendons, ligaments, or skin), dementia (decline in memory, thinking, reasoning, and problem solving). Record review of the face sheet dated 2/13/2025 indicated Resident #1's daughter was her responsible party with a phone number and a directive to please text the daughter. Record review of the quarterly MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 usually understood others and was usually understood by others. The MDS indicated Resident #1 had a BIMS score of 03 which indicated severe cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated Resident #1 required was completely dependent on staff for all activities of daily living. The MDS indicated Resident #1 was dependent with transfers. The MDS indicated Resident #1 was at risk for developing pressure ulcers/injuries. The MDS indicated Resident #1 did not have any unhealed pressure ulcers/injuries. Record review of the discharge MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 did not have any unhealed pressure ulcers/injuries. Record review of the care plan last revised on 8/05/2024 indicated Resident #1 had the potential for pressure ulcer development due to decreased mobility, incontinence and decreased cognition with interventions that included: 1. Educate the resident/family/caregivers as to causes of skin breakdown; including: transfer/positioning requirements; importance of taking care during ambulating/mobility, good nutrition and frequent repositioning. 2. Follow facility policies/protocols for the prevention/treatment of skin breakdown. 3. Incontinent care after each episode and apply moisture barrier. 4.

The form indicated Resident #1 had special treatments and precautions of: contact infection control precautions for an infection of the buttocks. The form indicated Resident #1 was on EBP (enhanced barrier precautions). The form indicated Resident #1 was receiving wound treatment with a current wound to the buttocks. Record review of hospital Disclosure and Consent Medical Care and Surgical Procedure dated 8/4/2024 at 12:16 PM for wound debridement indicated Resident #1's condition was infected wound of the sacral area measuring 3cm x 3.5cm x2cm that was classified as unstageable. Record review of a picture taken at the hospital dated 7/25/2024 at 7:48 PM indicated Resident #1 had an unstageable wound to the sacral area measuring 3cm x 3.5cm x 2cm. Record review of the hospital paperwork dated 7/25/2024 indicated admitting diagnosess of metabolic encephalopathy and pressure injury of sacral region, unstageable. During a phone interview on 2/12/2025 at 12:25pm with Resident #1's RP (responsible party), she said neither she nor her family members had been notified that Resident #1 had developed any kind of skin problem. She said it was not until she got to the hospital emergency room that she was notified that Resident #1 had an unstageable wound to her sacral (upper buttocks) area. She said when she saw the area she took pictures and the wound was horrible. She said she made the decision in the hospital emergency room that Resident #1 would not be returning to the facility due to the unstageable wound she had received while at the facility. During an interview on 2/12/2025 at 3:22 PM the ADON said she was not aware of Resident #1 had a wound until the day on 7/22/2024 when LVN A was notified by CNA C. She said when she saw Resident #1's bottom there was old scar tissue in the sacral area but what she treated was on the actual buttocks area and that was red with spots of blood like a scrape. She said she never saw a wound on the sacrum. She said it was possible that the necrotic tissue could have been mistaken for moisture associated skin damage tissue. She said the treatment nurse was responsible for doing weekly skin assessments. During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 10:30 AM the DON said she went and looked at Resident #1 buttocks when a CNA asked her to look at the resident because she needed her to put a new dressing on the resident. She said the wound was on the right buttock and seemed like someone had pulled her across the bed and caused the top layer of skin to come off. She said she cleaned the wound and applied calcium alginate to the wound. She said she did not remember anything being on Resident #1's left buttock. She said she only remembered applying a dressing to one buttock on the right side. She said she did not remember seeing anything to Resident #1's sacral area. She said Resident #1 had scarring due to old pressure areas that had healed. The DON said she thought the area to the sacrum could have been missed due to Resident #1's skin coloration. She said she had a conversation with one of Resident #1's family member about the resident being in the bed by 5pm and the family member wanted her up all day and she explained that it was not good for Resident #1. She said she never staged or classified Resident #1's wound. She said she would have classified the wound as MASD (moisture associated skin damage). The DON said a skin notification worksheet was not completed and did not know why. She said the treatment nurse goes to the nurse's station and looked at the 24-hour report to check for any new skin issues every day when she came to work. The DON said if a new skin area was identified and the treatment nurse was not available, the residents charge nurse was to notify the MD and put a treatment in place, if the treatment nurse was at the facility, then it was her responsibility. She said the nurse that initially identified a new wound was supposed to do measurements, but it was not (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 455569 If continuation sheet Page 9 of 19 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 455569 B.

She said once the treatment nurse assessed the wound then she was supposed to measure the wound, then the resident should have been seen by the Wound Care Doctor weekly and the Wound Care Doctor would then do the measurements weekly. The DON said she made rounds with the Wound Care Doctor if the treatment nurse was not at the facility and if she was there then she looked at the worst wounds. She said the Wound Care Doctor came every Wednesday to the facility. The DON said the Wound Care Doctor never saw Resident #1 and did not know why. Residents Affected - Few During a phone interview on 2/13/2025 at 11:58 AM LVN A said the CNA C asked him to look at Resident #1's buttocks. He said the wound he saw was in her gluteal fold, low sacral area to the right. He said when he assessed the wound it was not bleeding and looked like moisture associated skin damage red area to him. He said to best of his knowledge he did not see anything that he could remember in the sacral area. He said he wiped and applied barrier cream to the area. He said he did not measure the wound. LVN A said he thought he remembered notifying the family member that night but did not know who it was. He said he notified the wound care nurse to look at it by putting a paper note in her box for the next day for her to address. During a telephone interview on 2/13/2025 at 12:34 PM CNA C said she had been a CNA for 24 years and had taken care of a lot of residents with wounds. She said she remembered reporting an open wound on the top of Resident #1's sacrum and reported it to LVN A. CNA C said on the next day when she came back to work, she did not see a dressing on Resident #1's wound. She said she took a picture of Resident #1's wound and took her phone to the nurse's station and showed it to LVN A and told him it was bad. CNA C said the wound on Resident #1 was on the upper middle crease of the residents' buttocks and it was a bad bed sore that was open with dead tissue. She said she never reported the wound to anyone else other than LVN A. During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 1:19 PM CNA E said she worked with Resident #1 prior to her discharging from the facility but was not working the day Resident #1 left the facility. She said Resident #1 had a place on her buttocks that looked like carpet burn like a little scrape on it. She said they were putting barrier cream on it. CNA E said she saw a pink area on her buttocks but never saw an area on her sacrum. During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 1:40 PM CNA F said when Resident #1 discharged from the facility she had a skin tear on her bottom. She said the wound on Resident #1's bottom looked like a burn with pus and redness. She said she had reported it to the Treatment Nurse and the Treatment Nurse was treating the wound. CNA F said it looked like the picture of the residents wound that was showed to the CNA. Said she always reports any skin issues to the nurse or treatment nurse. During a telephone interview on 2/13/2025 at 4:30 PM the Wound Care Doctor said she had never seen Resident #1. During an interview on 2/19/2025 at 9:30 AM MDS LVN said there was a morning clinical meeting every morning and the staff nurses report to the administrative nurses on any resident issues. She said she remembered LVN A said in the morning clinical meeting that he had assessed Resident #1 and she did not have any open areas. The MDS LVN said she was never notified Resident #1 had a skin issue. She said she remembered the BOM said in the morning meeting 7/26/2024 that Resident #1's family member had called said Resident #1 would not be returning to the facility due to her having an unknown wound that she had gotten while at the facility.

She said the nurse should also make sure treatment orders were in place. Said most of the nurses have gone through the wound care training course. She said LVN's cannot stage or classify a wound so either she or the Wound Care Doctor would stage it or classify the wound by the next day. She said she was not sure how the wound on Resident #1 got missed, she said all she saw was Resident #1's right buttock and did not see the unstageable wound. She said Resident #1's family called the BOM and said they were not bringing Resident #1 back due to the wound that she had received while at the facility. The DON said there was no notification to Resident #1's Responsible Party because they were not aware that Resident #1 had a wound.
