Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for each resident,
consistent with the resident's rights, that includes measurable short-term and long-term objectives and
timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs that were identified in
the comprehensive assessment for 1 (Resident #1) of 7 residents reviewed for comprehensive care plans.
The facility failed to revise Resident #1's care plan, a resident with an active Stage IV pressure ulcer, to
reflect the use of a pressure-relieving mattress that was ordered by the physician on 11/8/25. This failure
could place residents at risk for unclear staff guidance, inconsistent implementation of care, inadequate
monitoring, delayed wound healing, and potential worsening or development of additional pressure
injuries.Findings included:Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 1/05/26, revealed a [AGE]
year-old-male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include central cord syndrome at
unspecified level of cervical spinal cord (incomplete spinal cord injury) and quadriplegia (person with
paralysis affecting all limbs and torso). Record review of Resident #1's Comprehensive Minimum Data Set,
dated [DATE], revealed: Section C Brief Interview for Mental Status score revealed a score of 03, which
indicated the resident's cognition was severely impaired. Section I Active Diagnoses revealed Resident #1
had the following diagnosis:Quadriplegia Section M Skin Conditions revealed Resident #1 was at risk of
developing pressure ulcers (M0150) and he had no unhealed pressure ulcers(M0210). Resident #1's skin
and ulcer injury treatments included a pressure reducing device for bed (M1200). Section V did reflect item
16 (Pressure Ulcer) as a triggered CAA and should be care planned. Record review of Resident #1's
physician order, dated 1/5/26, revealed the following:Resident #1 had an order for a pressure reducing
mattress to bed ordered 11/17/25 with a start date of 11/18/25.Resident #1 had a Pressure Ulcer,
unstageable; Coccyx (Small triangular bone at the base of the spinal column) [cleanse with wound
cleanser/ normal saline, pat dry, apply triad to wound bed, apply collagen, cover with superabsorbent
dressing. Change daily and prn.] [Order dated 12/24/25 and Start date 12/25/25]Record review of Resident
#1's admission assessment (Observation detail report), undated, revealed that Resident #1 had a pressure
ulcer injury.Record review of Resident #1's wound risk assessment dated [DATE] revealed that Resident #1
had a pressure ulcer located on his coccyx. Record review of Resident #1's wound care clinic notes, dated
12/24/26, revealed the wound was present upon admission and was previously deteriorating but was
currently stable.Record review of Resident #1's weight from PCC (electronic medical record software
system) checked on 01/05/26 revealed that Resident #1 weighed 168 lbs as of 10/28/25. Record review of
Resident #1's care plan, last revised 1/5/26 revealed the following:Resident #1 had a focus of wound
management. Resident #1's goal for the focus area was his pressure ulcer would show signs of
improvement and would be free from signs and symptoms of infection. Resident #1's interventions included
the following: administer antibiotic therapy as prescribed, notify provider if there are no

unaware whether other staff checked the bed when providing care. She stated the bed was replaced within
one week of the concern being brought to facility staff's attention. She stated she did not complete wound
care on the date of the interview with the HHSC investigator and was unaware of the condition of the bed at
the time of the interview. She stated wound care was completed on the day shift majority of the time. She
stated no one had reported issues with Resident #1's bed. She did not disclose details regarding how often
staff should be checking the mattress or which setting the mattress should have been set. She did state
Resident #1's wound was stable but it started to look worse after it had been debrided by the wound care
provider. She did not have an exact date of when the procedure was completed but stated the wound
remained smaller and the same size until debridement. She did not disclose who was responsible for
checking the bed but stated anytime she was in the room she checked the bed by physically touching the
mattress. During an interview on 1/5/26 at 7:47 PM, CNA G stated the Maintenance Supervisor was
responsible for checking low-pressure airflow mattresses. She stated the ADM would also check them if

staff were not provided individualized instruction regarding those mattresses.During an interview on 1/5/26
at 8:08 PM, CNA H stated Resident #1 had experienced issues with his bed at one time. She stated she did
not know about the lights or indicators on the bed because staff had not been trained on the mechanics of
the bed. She stated that on one occasion, on an unknown date, while changing Resident #1, she placed
pillows under him and felt as though she could feel the bed frame. She stated she reported the concern to
LVN F and assumed it was addressed, which was why she did not follow up. She stated she had not

address the infection.During an interview on 1/6/26 at 10:15 AM via telephone, the Vendor's Operations
Manager stated low-pressure airflow beds could operate with the low-pressure light illuminated; however,
the static light should not be illuminated. He stated if the static light was on, it indicated the bed had no
movement and would attempt to inflate further. He stated the bed was designed to operate with the center
of the mattress slightly softer and that the head of the bed should not remain in a constant upright or
90-degree position. He stated the bed was functioning at full capacity when it was plugged in and turned

which he identified as 45 degrees or less. He stated if the head of the bed exceeded 45 degrees, the
resident could feel uncomfortable and perceive the bed as deflated. He stated the instruction regarding
maintaining the head of the bed at 45 degrees or less was not included in the manufacturer's manual and
was communicated verbally by technicians when asked. He stated this was one of the issues associated
with low-pressure airflow mattresses. He stated having the head of the bed elevated greater than 45
degrees while in static mode could cause pinching in the mattress, preventing full inflation. He stated there
was no indication on the bed to measure the degree and that staff would have to use their best judgement
to measure the angle. He stated technicians often delivered the bed without providing further instruction. He
stated he did not know whether instructions for bed operation were provided to facility staff. He stated the
bed not being used as intended could negatively affect a resident's pressure ulcer and that other beds were
recommended for pressure ulcer management. During an interview on 1/6/26 at 11:27 AM, the MDS
Coordinator stated a care plan was used as a guide for all staff who worked at the facility to know what was
going on with each resident. She stated the care plan included the residents' ADLs, active issues/conditions
such as pressure ulcers, and any preferences. She stated interventions should also be included, as the
interventions were the expectations so that staff could care for the residents properly. She stated if all
interventions were not included in the care plan, there could be a negative outcome and the resident could
be placed at risk for decline. She stated she was unaware that Resident #1's low-pressure air mattress was
not care planned, and the potential reason it was not care planned was because they no longer had a
designated wound care nurse. She stated in the past it would have been the wound care nurse's
responsibility to ensure the information was placed in the resident's care plan. She stated the system to
monitor care plans to ensure that all information, including interventions, was placed in the resident's care
plan was that a baseline care plan was completed within 48 hours of admission. She stated care plans
were then discussed during morning meetings. She stated the wound nurse would update them on wounds
and inform them if there were new wounds, healed wounds, or changes in the condition of existing wounds.
She stated the wound nurse would then ensure that all interventions were placed in the resident's care
plan. She stated if additional meetings were needed, those would be scheduled. She stated she as the
MDS Coordinator ensured that all CAAs were care planned with their interventions and goals. She stated
the ADONs ensured that acute items were care planned. She stated all department heads were
responsible for goals and interventions related to their departments. The MDS Coordinator stated that the
use of the low-pressure air mattress should have been care planned as an intervention in Resident #1's
care plan. She stated she had been trained on the facility's expectations and policies for care plans and that
they reviewed those expectations frequently. She stated she expected all care plans to be reviewed to
ensure nothing was missing. She stated if anything was identified as missing, it should be added and all
appropriate parties should be notified. The MDS Coordinator stated that since the facility no longer had a
wound care nurse, no discussions had occurred regarding who would take over those duties related to care
plans. She stated the former wound care nurse would have been responsible for entering the low-pressure
airflow mattress information. She stated she was unsure how long the facility had been without a wound
care nurse. She stated overall, as a team, they were all responsible for ensuring resident care plans were
revised and included all necessary information, including goals and interventions. The MDS Coordinator
stated she did not know specific information about low-pressure airflow beds but believed staff would need
to know all relevant information about the beds in order for them to function at the highest effectiveness for
the resident.During an interview on 1/6/26 at 12:22 PM, ADON B stated the care plan was a plan that all

used to ensure staff were doing what they needed to do to keep residents safe. He stated, for example, if a
resident had behaviors, the resident would have interventions to assist in keeping the resident safe. He
stated they would want a general outcome to be positive and to correlate with the interventions. He stated
the use of the low-pressure air mattress should have been care planned. He stated he was unaware that
the use of a low-pressure air mattress for Resident #1 had not been care planned and did not have a
reason why it was not care planned. He stated the potential negative outcome for not care planning the use
of the low-pressure air mattress was that if the mattress was low, the resident could acquire pressure ulcers
or wounds in the facility, which could be dangerous. He stated he was unsure of the facility's system for
monitoring and ensuring care plans included all required information and were revised accordingly. He
stated that, based on his experience, the MDS Coordinator would have been responsible for ensuring
interventions such as the use of a low-pressure air mattress were care planned. He stated in his past
experience the MDS Coordinator was usually particular about residents' care plans. He stated he had been
trained on the facility's policy and expectations regarding care plans. He stated the facility was in the
process of changing EMR systems. He stated he expected care plans to read almost like a biography and
that the information in the care plan should be accurate to keep residents safe. He stated all wounds were
not the same and all low-pressure airflow mattresses were not the same. He stated processes and
troubleshooting could differ depending on the bed. He stated everyone in Administration was responsible
for ensuring all interventions were entered into resident care plans. He stated the MDS Coordinator would
be the key essential person responsible for resident care plans. He stated he had not been specifically
trained on low-pressure airflow mattresses at the facility but had general knowledge that the low-pressure
light should not be illuminated and that the head of the mattress should remain above 30 degrees.During
an interview on 1/6/26 at 12:39 PM, ADON A stated she had not been trained and had not received
information regarding the specifics of low-pressure airflow mattresses. She stated she had not received
training on ensuring the air mattresses were functioning properly. She stated a care plan was a plan that
established care for each resident. She stated it included goals for the resident and interventions to address
any problems the resident may have. She stated low-pressure airflow mattresses were implemented to help
offload pressure and assist residents with pressure sores. She stated the potential negative outcome of
staff not having information regarding low-pressure airflow mattresses was that staff may not know how the
bed functioned. She stated low-pressure airflow mattresses were used to treat and prevent pressure ulcers.
She stated she had not been in her role very long (since November 2025) and could not state whether the
low-pressure airflow mattress should have been care planned for Resident #1. She stated she had not been
trained on care plans due to being pulled to the floor because of short staffing. She stated she was unsure
whether residents had the same type of air mattress and assumed differences in mattresses would affect
what staff needed to know. She stated she did not have an answer regarding how staff were trained on the
differences and expectations related to low-pressure airflow mattresses. She stated Resident #1 admitted
with a pressure ulcer. She stated she was unsure whether the low-pressure airflow mattress was
implemented upon admission or afterward. She stated she was unaware that Resident #1's low-pressure
airflow mattress had not been care planned and did not have a reason why it was not care planned. She
stated she was unfamiliar with the facility's system for monitoring resident care plans. She stated she had
started training but was pulled to the floor shortly thereafter. She stated she believed the MDS Coordinator
would have been responsible for resident care plans.During an interview on 1/6/26 at 12:56 PM, the DON
stated that regarding the low-pressure airflow bed, the expectation was that the dial should be set to the
resident's

weight. She stated the static light should never be illuminated unless indicated by a physician's order or at
the resident's request. She stated if the static light was illuminated and would not turn off, it indicated the
bed needed maintenance. She stated nursing staff had been trained on the expectations for low-pressure
airflow mattresses. She stated her training documentation would only include nurses' signatures because
they were responsible for checking the function of the low-pressure airflow bed. She stated she would
provide a copy of the training; however, the training was not provided prior to investigator exit. She stated
she did not have a specific policy for low-pressure airflow mattresses. She stated all wounds and
treatments were not the same and should be treated differently and individualized. She stated Resident #1
admitted to the facility with a pressure ulcer and the low-pressure airflow bed intervention was implemented
upon admission. She stated she was unaware that Resident #1's care plan did not include the low-pressure
airflow mattress intervention. She stated the potential negative outcome for not care planning the
intervention was that it could result in an increase in infection or worsening wounds. She stated the purpose
of the low-pressure airflow mattress was to prevent pressure ulcers. She stated the system to monitor
resident care plans was that care plans were reviewed quarterly, upon admission, and whenever there was
a change in condition. She stated overall she and the MDS Coordinator were responsible for ensuring all
applicable interventions were included. She stated the care plan should have reflected the implementation
of the low-pressure airflow bed at admission. She stated the charge nurse at admission would also have
been responsible. She stated the reason the low-pressure airflow bed may not have been care planned was
because the facility was transitioning companies.During an interview on 1/6/26 at 1:25 PM, the ADM stated
he was unaware of the logistics related to the low-pressure airflow bed, but staff were aware of the logistics
and expectations. He stated he could not state in detail what the care plan should include because it had
been some time since he received in-depth training on care plans. He stated the care plan was what staff,
specifically direct care staff, used to guide how residents were cared for. He stated interventions such as
the use of a low-pressure airflow mattress were expected to be care planned. He stated residents did not all
have the same type of mattress and that mattress selection was based on acuity. He stated all resident
pressure ulcers and wounds were treated differently based on physician's orders. He stated Resident #1
admitted with a pressure ulcer. He stated without reviewing the EMR, he could not confirm whether the
low-pressure airflow mattress was implemented upon admission or
