F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure residents with pressure ulcers receive necessary treatment and services, consistent with professional standards of practice, to promote healing, prevent infection and prevent new ulcers from developing for 1 of 3 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility failed to implement treatment orders for Resident #1's wounds for 5 of 9 wounds for 12 to 13 days; did not document on the TAR if treatment was provided to 5 of 9 wounds for 13 days; and did not complete a weekly wound assessment on 10/09/2025 for 5 of 9 wounds. This failure could hinder the healing of the residents' existing pressure ulcers or lead to the development of additional skin injuries. The findings included: Record review of Resident #1's admission Record (face sheet), dated 10/24/2025, revealed he was [AGE] years old, admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included osteomyelitis (infection of the bone marrow), pressure ulcers (bed sores), paraplegia (partial paralysis), intracranial injury (injury to part of the brain), peripheral vascular disease (narrowing of the blood vessels in the arms and legs due to plaque buildup); and was discharged on 10/20/2025. Record review of Resident #1's MDS, an admission assessment dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score of 15 out of 15 which indicated his cognitive skills for daily decision making were not impaired; had not rejected care and he was admitted with six stage 3 pressure ulcers (severe form of skin breakdown that involves full-thickness tissue loss, extending into the subcutaneous fat layer), one stage 4 pressure ulcer (severe form of skin breakdown that extends through the skin and underlying tissues, exposing muscle, tendon, and bone) and one unstageable deep tissue injury (condition that affects the underlying layers of skin and soft tissues, often resulting from sustained pressure or shear forces, leading to tissue damage and tissue death). Record review of Resident #1's care plans dated 10/17/2025, revealed a care plan for the focus area of Pressure ulcer actual or at risk due to admitted with pressure ulcers, paraplegia that was initiated 10/03/2025 for the following wounds: sacrum (bottom area) stage 4, right heel stage 3, right hallux (big toe) abrasion (wound caused by rubbing or scraping the skin), left lateral (outer) thigh stage 3, left lateral foot (outer side of the foot) stage 3, left hallux deep tissue injury, right lateral malleolus (outer bony prominences on the ankle) stage 3 and left groin stage 3. Under interventions was to conduct weekly wound assessments and treatments as ordered. Record review of Resident #1's admission Weekly Head to Toe Skin Check, dated 10/03/2025 completed by Treatment Nurse LVN C, revealed he had 9 wounds on:1. Left rear thigh stage 3 pressure ulcer with 30% slough (type of dead tissue that forms in a wound bed) that measured 9 cm x 5 cm x 2 cm.2. Left lower rear leg stage 3 pressure ulcer with 20% slough that measured 1.5 cm x 3.5 cm x 1.5 cm.3. Right heel stage 3 pressure ulcer with 20% slough that measured 3.5 cm x 5.5 cm x 0.8 cm.4.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few from 12:16 PM to 12:48 p.m., Treatment Nurse LVN C stated she would complete a skin assessment and wound assessment when a resident was admitted to the facility and then a weekly assessment would be completed. Treatment Nurse LVN C said Resident #1's skin was pretty bad.he had nine wounds, he was seen weekly by the Wound NP A, but Resident #1 had refused to let the Wound NP A assess him on 10/06/2025 when she was in the facility because he was outside because if he was up [in his wheelchair] that was it, there was no going back [to bed to do wound care]. Treatment Nurse LVN C stated she thought there were orders for all of Resident #1's wounds when he was admitted but could not remember without looking at his chart. The Treatment Nurse said she was responsible for entering resident's wound orders into their clinical record and the harm of not having a wound treatment order was . the wound could become infected; it could get bigger.In an interview on 10/24/2025 from 1:34 p.m. to 1:45 p.m., CNA F stated she remembered the nurses would provide wound care to Resident #1 when he was in bed and when he allowed them to do so but he would be combative or refuse at times. In an interview on 10/24/2025 at 1:48 p.m., RN G stated she cared for Resident #1 only on 2 days and she did not provide wound care to him because the facility has a Treatment Nurse. RN G said she remembered seeing Treatment Nurse LVN C provide wound care to Resident #1 one day in the hallway to his heels because that was the only place the resident would allow the treatment nurse to do it, and because he did not want to be put back into bed and the wound dressings needed to be changed.In a follow-up telephone interview on 10/25/2025 from 11:34 a.m. to 11:41 a.m., Treatment Nurse LVN C stated she could not remember why orders were not written for Resident #1's wounds on his left rear thigh, right heel, groin, right hallux and right lateral malleolus. She said the reason why a weekly wound assessment was not done on 10/09/2025 for his wounds on his left rear thigh, right heel, groin, right hallux and right lateral malleolus was because she might have been interrupted during her wound assessments and forgot to go back to finish the assessment on those wounds. LVN C stated with Resident #1, Once you start, you can't stop and if you stop, he won't let you go back to him.In an interview on 10/25/2025 at 11:55 a.m., the Regional Clinical Resource (corporate nurse), stated Resident #1 was assessed by Wound NP OO before he left the facility AMA.In an interview on 10/25/25 at 3:34 p.m., the Regional Clinical Resource stated she reviewed Resident #1's clinical record and could not find any admission treatment orders for his wounds on his left rear thigh, right heel, groin, right hallux and right lateral malleolus; and the orders for those wounds were started on either 10/14/2025 or 10/15/2025. The Regional Clinical Resource said when she spoke to the DON, the DON stated the treatment nurse provided wound care to Resident #1's wounds when he would let her. In an interview on 10/24/2025 at 2:57 p.m., the DON stated when she would do her daily rounds in the facility, she had observed that Resident #1 had wound dressings on both of his feet which were dated with that day's date, so she knew the wound care nurse was providing the wound care. The DON stated wound care was to be documented on the resident's TAR, but it was not documented on Resident #1 because it looked like there was an error due to orders that were not in the chart for the wounds. The DON reviewed Resident #1's wound assessments completed on 10/09/2025 and stated there were only 4 wound assessments done for the sacrum, left lower rear leg, left lateral foot and left hallux wounds. The DON stated the Treatment Nurse was responsible for ensuring the weekly wound assessments were completed and the harm of not completing a weekly wound assessment was that it would be difficult to determine if the wound was healing or deteriorating. The DON said the procedure for ensuring admission treatment orders were transcribed for wounds was the treatment nurse's responsibility; and the harm of not having a treatment order could result in wound care not being provided to the resident.In an interview on 10/24/2025 at 3:38 p.m., the Administrator stated the treatment nurse, or the admitting nurse was responsible for (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675002 If continuation sheet Page 5 of 14 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 675002 B.
