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. Sacrum stage 4 pressure ulcer
with serosanguinous drainage (light pink, thin watery fluid that is common in stages of wound healing) that
measured 26 cm x 29 cm x 7 cm.5. Groin stage 3 pressure ulcer that measured 1 cm x 1.5 cm x 0.8 cm.6.

would be going AMA.Record review of Resident #1's Nurse's Note, dated 10/20/2025 at 1:24 p.m. by
Treatment Nurse LVN C, revealed .[Resident #1] stated he would just leave AMA, I educate[d] [Resident #1]
on the importance of wound care and medication management. He states he knows and understands any
risk he is taking, he signed the AMA form, thanked me for helping him but he wants to be able to come and
go as he wants. He signed form, I called DON and informed [his] Primary Care Provider.Record review of
Resident #1's AMA sheet, dated 10/20/25 at 12:45 p.m., reflected the resident signed the sheet with 3
witnesses present (DON, LVN C and RN K). Reason for AMA: resident wanted to be independent.During an
interview on 10/22/25 at 10:04 a.m., the DON stated the resident ‘s dressing was clean and dry except on
10/16/25 at 6:00 a.m., when the dressing was soiled and the resident refused wound care. The DON stated
maggots were discovered on 10/16/25 around 8:30 a.m. and cleaned by the DON and LVN C (wound
nurse) were present. The DON added, she saw 3-4 maggots on the right heel. The DON stated the resident
still had maggots on 10/17/25 around 9:00 a.m. located on the right heel and the toe of the right foot (no
wound); and several maggots on the right foot. The DON stated, other staff who saw the maggots were the
Administrator on the wound (right heel) and LVN C on the bed. During an interview on 10/22/2025 at 10:20
a.m., Treatment Nurse LVN C stated while doing wound care to Resident #2, she observed some flies in the
resident's room. Treatment Nurse LVN C stated, He is really messy with food, and he [NAME] on food and
spills it everywhere, so he does get flies sometimes. We try to clean it up quickly, but there's never been any
infestation or anything. During a telephone interview on 10/22/25 at 11:05 a.m., NP PP stated Resident #1
had the habit of going out on pass and refusing wound care. NP PP stated there were no issues with the
wound care given to residents by facility nursing staff. NP PP stated Resident #1 skipping wound care for 2
days or more could result in maggots being present. NP PP stated she never saw maggots in the resident's
wounds, but the resident could be infected with maggots given his habit of refusing care and spending
hours outside the facility in the heat.During a telephone interview on 10/22/25 at 12:07 p.m., the MD stated
the skipping of wound care could lead to maggots developing within 8-12 hours especially if the wound was
soaked, there was heat, and the dressing was uncovered. The MD added some cleansing wound care
solutions could kill maggots. The MD stated there were standing orders when the resident missed wound
care. The MD stated she first became aware of the maggots when reported on 10/16/25 by LVN D. During a
telephone interview on 10/22/25 at 6:24 p.m., LVN D stated, he saw maggots on Resident #1's right heel on
10/16/25 around 9:30 p.m. and called the MD for guidance. LVN D stated the MD gave an order to send the
resident to the ER for an assessment; but the resident refused to go to the ER.During a telephone interview
on 10/23/25 at 1:30 p.m., LVN D (night nurse) stated: he only focused on wound care for the right heel
where the maggots were present. LVN D stated he only visually looked at the other wounds and saw no
maggots. LVN D stated he saw the maggots on 10/16/25 around 9:30 p.m. LVN D stated he had not seen
maggots in the resident's wounds in the past. In a telephone interview on 10/24/2025 from 10:33 a.m. to
10:54 a.m., LVN D stated he completed a skin assessment on Resident #1 on the first day he cared for
Resident #1, which was the resident's second day in the facility because the resident had refused to let the
nurses do an assessment the previous day. LVN D said Resident #1 was very noncompliant with letting the
nurses complete skin assessments and wound care despite encouragement from the nurses.In a telephone
interview on 10/24/2025 at 11:05 a.m., RN B stated he would provide wound care to Resident #1's sacrum
wound when incontinent care was provided and would try to do wound care on his other wounds, but
Resident #1 would frequently refuse care to his other wounds despite encouragement and education. RN B
said Resident #1 did allow the nurse to provide wound care to his right heel, but RN B could not remember
when that was. In a telephone interview on 10/24/2025

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

AMA: resident wanted to be independent.Observation on 10/22/25 at 10:20 a.m., revealed some flies in
Resident #2's room while observing wound care given to Resident #2 by LVN C. [flies in the room had the
potential of landing on the resident's wound or laying eggs throughout the room and later infecting the
resident's wounds] Observation of Resident #1's room on 10/22/25 at approximately 12:15 p.m. reflected
that the screen was not fully adjusted to the frame, potentially allowing for flies/gnats to enter. There were
no flies or gnats observed. During an interview on 10/21/25 at 12:30 p.m., the DON stated: Resident #1

heel dressing. The resident refused to go to the ER. LVN D attempted to remove the maggots.---10/17/25 at
6:00 a.m. resident refused wound care.---10/17/25 around 8:30 a.m., Resident accepted wound care from
the DON and maggots were again found in the right heel. MD was again notified and order given to send
resident to the ER for an assessment.---10/17/25-DON convinced resident to be assessed at the ER and
DON accompanied the resident.---10/17/25-ER note: [Right] lower extremity with a lateral [well] healing
ulcer, no maggots. discharged to facility in a stable condition.---10/20/25- wound care given by NP PP in the
morning. Resident signed out AMA around 2:00PM [MD had given new orders for IV daptomycin (wound
infection) and Levaquin (wound infection) prior to the resident going out AMA.] During an interview on
10/21/25 at 4:26 PM, the DON stated Resident #1 received daily wound care and was seen by the NP [A]
Wound Nurse Weekly but had a history of refusing wound care. The DON stated NP PP was aware
Resident #1 at times refused wound care. During an interview on 10/22/25 at 9:55 AM, the DON stated

stated, other staff who saw the maggots were the Administrator on the wound (right heel) and LVN C on the
bed. During an interview on 10/22/2025 at 10:20 a.m., LVN C stated while doing wound care to Resident
#2, she observed some flies in the resident's room. LVN C stated, He is really messy with food, and he
[NAME] on food and spills it everywhere, so he does get flies sometimes. We try to clean it up quickly, but
there's never been any infestation or anything. During a telephone interview on 10/22/25 at 11:05 a.m., NP
PP stated rubbing could kill the maggot eggs on a wound. NP PP stated heat, and the smell of dry blood

on 10/10/25. During a telephone interview on 10/22/25 at 12:07 p.m., the MD stated the skipping of wound
care could lead to maggots developing within 8-12 hours especially if the wound was soaked, there was
heat, and the dressing was uncovered. The MD added some cleansing wound care solutions could kill
maggots. The MD stated there were standing orders when the resident missed wound care. The MD stated
she first became aware of the maggots when reported on 10/16/25 by LVN D. During a telephone interview
on 10/22/25 at 3:25 p.m., the Pest Control Vendor stated flies were controlled by checking for room

infestation of flies in the facility, but flies could be present in the facility from doors opening. During an
interview on 10/22/25 at 3:35 p.m., the Administrator stated the facility had not identified a fly problem. The
Administrator stated no fly lights had been installed in the facility to include the kitchen, and no request had
