On 02/23/2024 at 11:36am observation revealed the wound vac was not connected to Resident #5's
wound. Resident #5 stated the floor nurse last night (02/22/2024) who took care of her could not fix the
wound vac, she said the nurse told her that she did not know how to fix Resident #5's wound vac. She said
the nurse came in to dress her wound when her wound was saturated but she was unable to put the wound
vac back on her because she could not do it, the nurse (Nurse B) had to do wet to dry dressing.
Residents Affected - Few
On 02/23/2024 at 12:26pm in an interview with Nurse A, she stated said she never had the opportunity to
do Resident #5's wound because the Resident #5 was on B-bed, and the B-beds were assigned to the
night-shift nurses while the A-beds were assigned to the day-shift nurses. She stated the facility had a
wound care nurse who was taking care of residents' wound, and if the wound care nurse was not in the
building, the wound dressing change of patients were done by the nurses. Nurse A stated she was aware
Resident #5 had wounds and a surgical wound where the wound vac was to be applied. Nurse A stated she
did not know if the wound vac was to be applied weekly and she had to go look it up. She stated she had
not done a wound vac before, even though as a nurse she had been trained to do wound vac, but she did
not have any training at the facility to do wound vac. She stated the wound care nurse was not in the facility
today.
On 03/04/2024 at 11:43am in an observation and interview with Resident #5, she stated she did not have
any wound care yesterday Sunday 03/03/2024. She stated if the wound care nurse was not around, she
would probably not get wound care. Surveyor observed the wound vac, and it was not connected to
Resident #5's wound, the wound vac was on a table by the bedside. Resident stated she did not have the
wound vac for many days when the wound care nurse was away. She stated the wound vac was placed by
the Wound Care Nurse on the last weekend, the date on the canister revealed 2/29/2024. She said when
the wound care nurse put the wound vac on her, it worked really well for about a day, but the wound vac
canister was full and the wound vac stopped working and she believed that it was because the canister was
full. She stated they disconnected the wound vac three days ago. She said all they needed to do was to
empty it or change it and fix the wound vac back into her wound, but she did not know why they were not
doing that.
On 03/04/2024 at 11:56am in a wound observation with the Wound Care Nurse, the surgical wound on the
right abdomen was observed covered in clean dressing dated today (03/04/2024) the nurse removed the
dressing and Surveyor observed the surgical wound at resident's right abdomen - it appeared red beefy
about the size 28cm x 20cm the left buttock pressure wound appeared red beefy and round, about 4cm x
4cm in size. There was no concern with the process of the wound care and infection control. The wound
care nurse stated she did not apply the wound vac today because Resident #5 was on her way to hospital
for blood transfusion because resident's lab came back with low blood level.
On 03/04/2024 at 12:28pm in an interview with the Wound Care Nurse, she stated if she was not in the
building, the nurses on the floor were responsible to do the wound, she was not aware that the nurses did
not know how to operate the wound vac. The wound care nurse stated she was gone on vacation from
Thursday 2/22/2024 till the Wednesday 2/28/2024. She did not know if they were doing the wound vac or
placing the wet to dry on the resident. She said the wound vac keeps excess drainage from the wound
because if the drainage was sitting in the wound dressing, it could grow bacteria and affect the wound the
more, and could cause the wound to decline and the surrounding tissue could get damaged.

On 03/04/2024 at 12:51pm in an interview with Nurse A, she stated the floor nurses also did wound care for
residents on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) because the Wound Care Nurse' schedule was Monday
to Friday and they did not have weekend wound care nurse. She stated if Resident #5's wound vac needed
to be fixed or if anything happened she would not be able to apply the wound vac but she would do wet-to
dry wound dressing. She stated she had not spoken with anyone in the past regarding her not able to apply
wound vac, but she told the DON about the wound vac today 03/04/2024 and she (DON) said they would
train the nurses and show them how to use it. She said generally, wound vac help to heal and control
drainage so the wound can heal well. She stated they could do a wet-to-dry dressing if they were not able
to do the wound vac.
On 03/04/2024 at 2:57pm in an interview with the Attending Physician, she stated she saw Resident #5 few
weeks ago within the week of her admission, and she had been taking care of Resident #5 for about a
month. She stated she saw Resident #5's wound and saw the Wound Care Nurse did the wound vac on
that day. The Attending Physician stated the wounds were severe and large and Resident #5 was in pain
when she saw her. She said she could not handle the wound alone, especially any wound with a wound
vac. She said when it comes to wound vac, you need to know what you are doing she would have a wound
specialist consulted to follow the resident, which was why the wound care Doctor followed Resident #5 to
ensure proper management and monitoring of her wounds. She stated she was not aware that nurses were
not able to apply wound vac on the resident. The Attending Physician stated wound care was not her
specialist, but she knew the wound vac was an integral part of the resident's care and the Wound Care
Doctor knew better why the wound vac had to be used.
On 3/5/2024 at 2:04pm in an interview with the Wound Care Doctor, he stated he had not been able to see
the Resident #5 much, because the Resident #5 would go to dialysis Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays
and sometimes she would be sent to hospital for non-wound related issue. The Wound Care Doctor said he
came to the facility mostly on Mondays. He stated the wound vac was a very important as part of the care
of Resident #5 because it was recommended by a specialist surgeon who did the surgery for her, and the
wound vac would help residents wound to heal better. The Wound Care Doctor said compared to a wet to
dry, the wound vac was recommended and more preferred by the specialist who recommended it, any he
would not change that. He said there was order in place for wet to dry dressing change in case something
happened to the wound vac. He said his expectation was that when orders were given, the order should be
followed by the facility and the employees. He stated no one ever informed him that the floor nurses did not
know how to apply wound vac for Resident #5. He said the order for wet-to-dry dressing change was given
in case anything happened to the wound vac, there could be any accident, it could fall, it was a machine,
and it could malfunction at any time, and that was why they gave the order for wet-to-dry dressing. The
Wound Care Doctor stated but the main treatment for the wound was the wound vac according to the
recommendation from the specialist surgeon.
On 03/05/2024 at 4:34pm in an interview with the ADON, she stated Resident #5 was always refusing her
wound vac and she was told by the Wound Care Nurse that Resident #5 was refusing her wound vac, so
the wound care nurse did wet to dry dressing. She stated she assisted in supervising and overseeing the
duties of other nurses and to make sure their jobs and the documentation were done properly. She stated
no nurse ever told her that they were not able to do wound vac. She said they did not have any training on
wound vac or wound care, she said the nurses get the training in nursing school and they all should be able
to apply wound vac. She stated the wound vac was to aide in the healing process of wounds and it was
used to remove the drainage from the wound so it would not become infected.
On 03/05/2024 at 4:46pm in an interview with the Wound Care Nurse, she stated that Resident #5 did

refused wound care or wound vac. She stated they would do wet to dry dressing for Resident #5's wound

reason for not doing the wound vac on 2/28/2024, that day was Wednesday and could be the resident was

Residents Affected - Few
On 03/06/2024 at 9:37am in an interview with Nurse B, she stated she knew Resident #5 had abdominal
wound, bottom wound, left abdominal wound and colostomy, she stated the facility Wound Care Nurse
comes to the facility on Mondays to Fridays and the wound care nurse always did the wounds, while the
floor nurses - dayshift nurses do A beds and the night shift do B beds whenever the Wound Care Nurse did
not come to work. She said she had not been trained on the wound vac at the facility. Nurse B stated the
resident did not have the wound vac functioning on the night of 2/22/24, the wound vac was attached but it
was not working, and the dressing was due for the night. Nurse B stated she told the resident she did not
know how to operate the wound vac and she would do the wet-to-dry dressing as in the order. She said the
resident had never refused any care that she knew of. She stated the ADON was the supervisor who
oversaw their work. She stated had not specifically told her supervisor she was not trained on wound vac
but she was sure she must have mentioned it to them sometime. She said on 2/26/24 and 2/27/24 the
wound vac was not on the resident at that time and she (Nurse B) did wet-to-dry dressing.
On 03/05/2024 at 3:48pmin an interview with Nurse C stated she did not regularly work with Resident #5's .
Nurse C stated she may have assisted the resident with her wound once but the wound vac was
malfunctioning at that time so she did wet- to-dry. She stated she was not confident on how to apply wound
vac and she had not received any training to do wound vac at the facility but she had been trained
somewhere else. She stated she had not mastered using the wound vac to the point that she would be able
to do it confidently. She stated she had not told her supervisor to do wound vac training for her.
On 03/07/2024 at 2:22pm in an interview with Nurse D, she stated she worked night shift. She was usually
the nurse taking care of Resident #5 every time she worked on that side of the facility hall. She stated she
had not changed her wound vac before but have changed the canister for her wound vac in the past. She
said she believe she was very competent to apply wound vac, she had done wound vac on another resident
but had not applied wound vac on Resident #5 because Resident #5's wound vac was being done
differently, and she was not able to do it. She stated on 2/23/2024 during the night shift she remembered
she had to change Resident #5's wound dressing because it was saturated, and she changed the cannister
but when she removed the dressing wound, she could not re-apply the wound vac, because she was not
sure how to apply it properly, and she did not want to mess up anything. She stated she did wet to dry for
that night on 2/23/2024. She stated Wound vac was useful for a wound with a lot of drainage because the
wound vac removed body fluid drainage from the wound, she said if the drainage was not removed the
wound would not heal and could be infected.
On 03/06/2024 in an interview with the DON, she stated none of the nurses informed her that they were not
able to apply wound vac on Resident #5. The DON stated the wound vac promote healing of the wound and
prevent infection by removing excess drainage from the wound. She stated they had started in servicing the
nurses and they would also have the wound vac company come in to train the nurses on using the wound
vac and have each nurse perform a return demonstration.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to ensure each resident received adequate
supervision to prevent accidents for 4 of 17 residents (Resident #1, Resident #2, Resident #3 and Resident
#4) reviewed for smoking.
1.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 had proper supervision after her smoke assessment stated she
was careless with smoking materials and dropped ashes on herself. Her care plan stated she needed an
extender and apron to be safe. She was observed without supervision, an apron or extender.
2.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #2 had proper supervision after he was found smoking in his room
located in the memory care unit. He was supposed to be supervised by his family member. His family
member was not supervising him upon observation.
3.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #3 had supervision after she was deemed non-compliant with smoking
and had placed a half-smoked cigarette, she had just extinguished into a brown paper bag.
4.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #4 was observed to be smoking without supervision when her
smoking assessment stated she did not smoke.
An immediate jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 2/29/2024 at 2:39 p.m. The IJ template was provided to the
facility on 2/29/2024 at 3:01p.m. While the IJ was removed on 3/3/2024 at 11:22 a.m., the facility remained
out of compliance at a scope of pattern with the potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate
jeopardy, due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
These failures could place residents who smoke and their roommates at risk of harm from burns or fires,
explosions, hospitalization, and death.

On 02/23/2024 at 11:36am in an interview with Resident #5 stated they were not treating her wound very
well, they were not helping her to apply the wound vac to her wound. She said every time she went to the
hospital her wound would be very close to healing but when she comes back to the facility they did not do
much for her wound. Resident #5 said she barely gets wound care in a day at the facility, she said if she
was in hospital they could do her wound up to 3 three times sometime if needed, but at the facility, they did
not do her wound regularly and they did not put the wound vac on her. She said they have Wound Care
Nurse at the building who does her wound vac but if the wound care nurse was not in the building nobody
does her wound vac. She said the wound care doctor only came one time and when he came he watched

On 02/23/2024 at 12:26pm in an interview with Nurse A, she stated said she never had the opportunity to
do Resident #5's wound because the Resident #5 was on B-bed, and the B-beds were assigned to the
night-shift nurses while the A-beds were assigned to the day-shift nurses. She stated the facility had a
wound care nurse who was taking care of residents' wound, and if the wound care nurse was not in the
building, the wound dressing change of patients were done by the nurses. Nurse A stated she was aware
Resident #5 had wounds and a surgical wound where the wound vac was to be applied. Nurse A stated she
did not know if the wound vac was to be applied weekly and she had to go look it up. She stated she had
not done a wound vac before, even though as a nurse she had been trained to do wound vac, but she did
not have any training at the facility to do wound vac. She stated the wound care nurse was not in the facility
today.
Residents Affected - Few
On 03/04/2024 at 11:43am in an observation and interview with Resident #5, she stated she did not have
any wound care yesterday Sunday 03/03/2024. She stated if the wound care nurse was not around, she
would probably not get wound care. Surveyor observed the wound vac, and it was not connected to
Resident #5's wound, the wound vac was on a table by the bedside. Resident stated she did not have the
wound vac for many days when the wound care nurse was away. She stated the wound vac was placed by
the Wound Care Nurse on the last weekend, the date on the canister revealed 2/29/2024. She said when
the wound care nurse put the wound vac on her, it worked really well for about a day, but the wound vac
canister was full and the wound vac stopped working and she believed that it was because the canister was
full. She stated they disconnected the wound vac three days ago. She said all they needed to do was to
empty it or change it and fix the wound vac back into her wound, but she did not know why they were not
doing that.
On 03/04/2024 at 11:56am in a wound observation with the Wound Care Nurse, the surgical wound on the
right abdomen was observed covered in clean dressing dated today (03/04/2024) the nurse removed the
dressing and Surveyor observed the surgical wound at resident's right abdomen - it appeared red beefy
about the size 28cm x 20cm the left buttock pressure wound appeared red beefy and round, about 4cm x
4cm in size. There was no concern with the process of the wound care and infection control. The wound
care nurse stated she did not apply the wound vac today because Resident #5 was on her way to hospital
for blood transfusion because resident's lab came back with low blood level.
On 03/04/2024 at 12:28pm in an interview with the Wound Care Nurse, she stated if she was not in the
building, the nurses on the floor were responsible to do the wound, she was not aware that the nurses did
not know how to operate the wound vac. The wound care nurse stated she was gone on vacation from
Thursday 2/22/2024 till the Wednesday 2/28/2024. She did not know if they were doing the wound vac or
placing the wet to dry on the resident. She said the wound vac keeps excess drainage from the wound
because if the drainage was sitting in the wound dressing, it could grow bacteria and affect the wound the
more, and could cause the wound to decline and the surrounding tissue could get damaged.
On 03/04/2024 at 12:51pm in an interview with Nurse A, she stated the floor nurses also did wound care for
residents on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) because the Wound Care Nurse' schedule was Monday
to Friday and they did not have weekend wound care nurse. She stated if Resident #5's wound vac needed
to be fixed or if anything happened she would not be able to apply the wound vac but she would do wet-to
dry wound dressing. She stated she had not spoken with anyone in the past regarding her not able to apply
wound vac, but she told the DON about the wound vac today 03/04/2024 and she (DON) said they would
train the nurses and show them how to use it. She said generally, wound vac help to

heal and control drainage so the wound can heal well. She stated they could do a wet-to-dry dressing if
they were not able to do the wound vac.
On 03/04/2024 at 2:57pm in an interview with the Attending Physician, she stated she saw Resident #5 few
weeks ago within the week of her admission, and she had been taking care of Resident #5 for about a
month. She stated she saw Resident #5's wound and saw the Wound Care Nurse did the wound vac on
that day. The Attending Physician stated the wounds were severe and large and Resident #5 was in pain
when she saw her. She said she could not handle the wound alone, especially any wound with a wound
vac. She said when it comes to wound vac, you need to know what you are doing she would have a wound
specialist consulted to follow the resident, which was why the wound care Doctor followed Resident #5 to
ensure proper management and monitoring of her wounds. She stated she was not aware that nurses were
not able to apply wound vac on the resident. The Attending Physician stated wound care was not her
specialist, but she knew the wound vac was an integral part of the resident's care and the Wound Care
Doctor knew better why the wound vac had to be used.
On 3/5/2024 at 2:04pm in an interview with the Wound Care Doctor, he stated he had not been able to see
the Resident #5 much, because the Resident #5 would go to dialysis Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays
and sometimes she would be sent to hospital for non-wound related issue. The Wound Care Doctor said he
came to the facility mostly on Mondays. He stated the wound vac was a very important as part of the care
of Resident #5 because it was recommended by a specialist surgeon who did the surgery for her, and the
wound vac would help residents wound to heal better. The Wound Care Doctor said compared to a wet to
dry, the wound vac was recommended and more preferred by the specialist who recommended it, any he
would not change that. He said there was order in place for wet to dry dressing change in case something
happened to the wound vac. He said his expectation was that when orders were given, the order should be
followed by the facility and the employees. He stated no one ever informed him that the floor nurses did not
know how to apply wound vac for Resident #5. He said the order for wet-to-dry dressing change was given
in case anything happened to the wound vac, there could be any accident, it could fall, it was a machine,
and it could malfunction at any time, and that was why they gave the order for wet-to-dry dressing. The
Wound Care Doctor stated but the main treatment for the wound was the wound vac according to the
recommendation from the specialist surgeon.
On 03/05/2024 at 4:34pm in an interview with the ADON, she stated Resident #5 was always refusing her
wound vac and she was told by the Wound Care Nurse that Resident #5 was refusing her wound vac, so
the wound care nurse did wet to dry dressing. She stated she assisted in supervising and overseeing the
duties of other nurses and to make sure their jobs and the documentation were done properly. She stated
no nurse ever told her that they were not able to do wound vac. She said they did not have any training on
wound vac or wound care, she said the nurses get the training in nursing school and they all should be able
to apply wound vac. She stated the wound vac was to aide in the healing process of wounds and it was
used to remove the drainage from the wound so it would not become infected.
On 03/05/2024 at 4:46pm in an interview with the Wound Care Nurse, she stated that Resident #5 did not
refuse care or refuse wound vac for her. She stated she could not remember any day that the resident
refused wound care or wound vac. She stated they would do wet to dry dressing for Resident #5's wound
when going to dialysis on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. She was not sure if she selected the wrong
reason for not doing the wound vac on 2/28/2024, that day was Wednesday and could be the resident was
going for dialysis.
On 03/06/2024 at 9:37am in an interview with Nurse B, she stated she knew Resident #5 had abdominal

wound, bottom wound, left abdominal wound and colostomy, she stated the facility Wound Care Nurse
comes to the facility on Mondays to Fridays and the wound care nurse always did the wounds, while the
floor nurses - dayshift nurses do A beds and the night shift do B beds whenever the Wound Care Nurse did
not come to work. She said she had not been trained on the wound vac at the facility. Nurse B stated the
resident did not have the wound vac functioning on the night of 2/22/24, the wound vac was attached but it
was not working, and the dressing was due for the night. Nurse B stated she told the resident she did not
know how to operate the wound vac and she would do the wet-to-dry dressing as in the order. She said the
resident had never refused any care that she knew of. She stated the ADON was the supervisor who
oversaw their work. She stated had not specifically told her supervisor she was not trained on wound vac
but she was sure she must have mentioned it to them sometime. She said on 2/26/24 and 2/27/24 the
wound vac was not on the resident at that time and she (Nurse B) did wet-to-dry dressing.
On 03/05/2024 at 3:48pmin an interview with Nurse C stated she did not regularly work with Resident #5's .
Nurse C stated she may have assisted the resident with her wound once but the wound vac was
malfunctioning at that time so she did wet- to-dry. She stated she was not confident on how to apply wound
vac and she had not received any training to do wound vac at the facility but she had been trained
somewhere else. She stated she had not mastered using the wound vac to the point that she would be able
to do it confidently. She stated she had not told her supervisor to do wound vac training for her.
On 03/07/2024 at 2:22pm in an interview with Nurse D, she stated she worked night shift. She was usually
the nurse taking care of Resident #5 every time she worked on that side of the facility hall. She stated she
had not changed her wound vac before but have changed the canister for her wound vac in the past. She
said she believe she was very competent to apply wound vac, she had done wound vac on another resident
but had not applied wound vac on Resident #5 because Resident #5's wound vac was being done
differently, and she was not able to do it. She stated on 2/23/2024 during the night shift she remembered
she had to change Resident #5's wound dressing because it was saturated, and she changed the cannister
but when she removed the dressing wound, she could not re-apply the wound vac, because she was not
sure how to apply it properly, and she did not want to mess up anything. She stated she did wet to dry for
that night on 2/23/2024. She stated Wound vac was useful for a wound with a lot of drainage because the
wound vac removed body fluid drainage from the wound, she said if the drainage was not removed the
wound would not heal and could be infected.
On 03/06/2024 in an interview with the DON, she stated none of the nurses informed her that they were not
able to apply wound vac on Resident #5. The DON stated the wound vac promote healing of the wound and
prevent infection by removing excess drainage from the wound. She stated they had started in servicing the
nurses and they would also have the wound vac company come in to train the nurses on using the wound
vac and have each nurse perform a return demonstration.
Facility policy titled 'Competency of Nursing Staff' dated May 2019 revealed in part . licensed nurses and
nursing assistants employed or contracted by the facility will demonstrate specific competency and skill sets
deemed necessary to care for the needs of residents as identified through resident assessments and
described in the plans of care.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain clinical record in accordance with accepted
professional standards and practices, maintain medical records on each resident that are complete and
accurately documented for 1 of 3 residents (Resident #8) reviewed for medical records, in that:
Facility failed to ensure Resident #8's list of medication during discharge was kept in the medical record
with the facility.
This failure could place the residents at risk for incomplete and inaccurate clinical records which could lead
to miscommunication and delay in services.
Findings include:
Record review of facesheet revealed Resident #8 was an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on
[DATE]. Her diagnoses included cerebral palsy (a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to move
and maintain balance and posture), multiple sclerosis (immune-mediated disease that affects the nerve
cells of the body), hemiplegia (paralysis that affects only one side of your body.), Parkinson's disease
(progressive disease marked by tremor, muscle rigidity, slow imprecise movement, mostly affecting
middle-aged and elderly people), pneumonia (an infection that occurs in the lungs when it is filled with fluid
or pus).
On 03/22/2024 at 1:46pm in an interview with Nurse E who discharged Resident #8, she stated when she
discharged Resident #8, she wrote the list of all the medication sent home and signed the list. She kept a
copy of the record in the medical record box and kept the other copy on the nurses station at the north side
of the building. Nurse E stated she could not find the medication list when surveyor requested for it.
On 03/22/2024 at 4:22pm in an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the medical record
person quit some days ago and they had paperwork that was piling up and sometimes she (DON) tried to
scan those documents whenever she came across them, but they were in the process of getting somebody
into that position to continue to handle residents' records. She said it could be that somebody picked it and
thought it was not an important document, and just put it somewhere. The DON said she started an
in-service on Wednesday, 3/20/2024, about handling resident medical records, because she noticed some
inconsistencies about how the resident information paperwork were being handled, and she wanted to put
everything right because medical records are very important documents used for resident's care. The DON
stated the MDS nurse was the one currently helping out with medical records.
On 3/25/2024 at 12:09pm in an interview with the MDS Nurse stated she saw the Resident #8's discharge
medication list at the north nursing station on Monday (03/11/2024) but she did not take it. She stated at the
time she saw it, she was looking for another resident's medical record.
