Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure that a resident receives care,
consistent with professional standards of practice, to prevent pressure ulcers based on the comprehensive
assessment for 1 of 4 Residents (Resident #1) whose records were reviewed for pressure ulcer care.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to obtain a physician order for treatment and wound care for Resident #1's right heel
resulting in the wound declining from a blister to a stage 4 pressure injury that was later found to have
maggots.
An IJ was identified on 7/5/2024. The IJ template was provided to the facility on 7/5/2024 at 8:26 pm. While
the IJ was removed on 7/6/2024 the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of pattern and severity
level of no actual harm because of the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of their plan of removal.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's electronic face sheet (printed 7/5/2024) revealed Resident #1 was admitted
on [DATE]. His diagnoses included: pressure ulcer of right heal (stage 4 wound which reveals skin and
bone), unspecified dementia, protein-calorie malnutrition, cognitive communication deficit, pathological
fracture right femur, iron deficiency, and vitamin deficiency.

MD and follow up as indicated; Monitor nutritional status. Serve diet as ordered, monitor intake and record;
Notify nurse immediately of any new areas of skin breakdown, redness, blisters, bruises, discoloration
noted during bath or daily care; Body audits at least weekly by licensed staff.
Record review of Resident #1's Care plan, stated the following: Problem: (Resident #1) has a pressure

Interview on 6/19/2024 at 12:20 PM, the Administrator stated interventions had been put into place
including electric fly traps on the interior of the building, air curtains, and water traps, which utilized yeast to
attract and trap flies on the exterior of the building. The administrator stated that when the temperatures
became warmer outside along with the additional rain, some flies had been able to enter the building when
residents would exit and enter the building during smoke breaks. He said they recently had pest control
treat the facility for this issue.
Observation and attempted interview on 6/19/2024 at 1:29 PM, of Resident #1 at the hospital revealed
Resident #1 was in bed sitting in an upright position. Resident #1 appeared clean and well kept. Resident

likely more prone to acquiring that type of an injury.
Interview on 6/19/2024 at 2:21 PM, Hospital DR C, stated he was a part of Resident #1's hospital
admission and stated that in his professional opinion, he did not believe that the presence of maggots to
Resident #1's wound had an impact on the outcome of Resident #1's below the knee amputation, indicating
Resident #1 would likely have had to have the amputation even if the maggots were not in Resident #1's
wound. Hospital DR C opined that the resident had multiple diagnoses that made him more susceptible to
acquiring said wound.
Interview on 6/20/2024 at 11:43 AM, Treatment Nurse, LVN C said she was reassigned to Resident #1's
Hall on 6/16/2024 and said upon removing Resident #1's dressing for treatment, she discovered
