What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 1 deficiency. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure ongoing nursing assessments for one of three residents (Resident 1) involving: Residents Affected - Few 1. admission Evaluation did not include skin condition of buttock area that had Mepilex (absorbent foam dressing) for protection. 2. When pressure injury was evaluated, Pressure Ulcer Report was not completed until four days after admission and Skin and Wound Evaluation Report was completed after an additional three days. 3. Care plans for rashes and pain were not personalized for Resident 1. 4. Treatment Administration Record (TAR) did not have entries for nine tasks related to skin monitoring and wound care. This failure resulted in Resident 1 not receiving ongoing assessments and the delay in having updated status of pressure injury (a localized damage to the skin and underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence or related to a medical or other device) may potentially affect Resident 1's care and well-being. Findings: A review of Resident 1's face sheet, undated, indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in July 2023 with diagnoses of muscle weakness and atrophy (decrease in size). A review of Resident 1's facility document Braden Scale For Predicting Pressure Risk, dated 7/14/23, indicated Resident 1's Braden score is 11 (score of 10–12 = High Risk). A review of Resident 1's facility document Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to guide care), dated 7/20/23, indicated Resident 1 required extensive assistance with bed mobility, toilet use, and personal hygiene including total dependence with bathing. MDS also indicated Resident 1 required substantial/maximal assistance to roll from lying on back to left and right side. MDS indicated Resident 1 had one Stage 2 (can be an intact blister or shallow open sore) pressure ulcer present upon admission. 1. During an interview on 10/3/23 at 8:15 a.m. with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), ADON stated Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 received a discharge report from acute hospital that Resident 1 had a Mepilex dressing for buttock protection.

At 11:20 a.m., ADON stated having no (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
