F 0686 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some Record review of Resident #1's BIMS score dated 05/23/24(clinical assessment to determine resident's strength and needs) a score of 7out of 15 indicating the resident was, moderately impaired. Record review of Resident #1's Admission/readmission assessment dated [DATE] noted that there was moisture associated skin damage to the peri area. Record review of Resident #1's Braden Scale for predicting pressure score risk and risk factors, completed by physician dated 06/04/24 described the skin as very moist and she was chairfast, as her ability to walk was severely limited or non-existent. Nutrition was noted to be adequate, and friction and shear posed as a potential problem because the resident would occasional slide down in the chair or bed. Additional risk factors were a history of pressure ulcers (prior to facility admittance), urinary or bowel incontinence, bedfast, decreased, or impaired bed/ chair mobility, and diabetes. On a score of 1-18, Resident #1 was identified as a 15, indicating a mild risk. Record review of Resident #1's Progress Notes during a visit with physician on 06/06/24, revealed that her skin had no suspicious lesions and was described as warm and dry. Record review of Resident #1's wound care notes from the WCD documented that he initially viewed the sacral wound on 06/12/24. The wound was debrided at bedside and the new orders given were santyl/calcium alginate and zinc oxide applied to the wound with the recommendation of a low air mattress for wound stabilization. Resident #1's wound to the sacral region was documented as a stage III pressure ulcer. Record review of Resident #1's wound care notes from the WCD, dated 06/19/24, revealed that her wound on the sacral region had declined to stage IV pressure ulcer. Orders were to use Santyl/calcium alginate and zinc oxide applied to the wound with the recommendation of a low air mattress for wound stabilization. Record review of Resident #1's TAR ordered on 06/07/24, revealed to cleanse the sacrum with non-saline wound cleanser, pat dry, apply TAO (triple antibiotic ointment) and zinc oxide, cover with clean dry dressing daily until healed. On 06/19/24, the TAR reflected that the orders for the sacrum were to cleanse with non-saline or wound cleanser, pat dry, apply Santyl/calcium alginate, zinc oxide, and apply dressing. No orders were added on 6/12/24. Record review of Resident #1's facility progress notes stated that on 06/23/24, CNA A reported that during a transfer, Resident #1 began to shake, was drowsy, and eyes rolled to the back of her head. She had a bowel movement that saturated her brief, pants, and ran onto the wheelchair. Resident was sent out to hospital. Record review of Resident #1's hospital admittance record dated 06/26/24 revealed a diagnosis of sepsis, the Sacral wound culture identified Staphylococcus aureus, and the urine culture from 6/23/24 showed Gram-negative rods (bacteria commonly found in infections). In an interview on 07/03/24 at 1:24 pm, CNA A stated that Resident #1 would often have bowel movements and she would need to be changed frequently. She explained that her diarrhea was so bad that when she performed peri care, she would have to change the bedding as well. She stated that the bandages on her sacrum wound were often saturated during peri care and the wound care nurse would redress it if she was there. She explained that on 06/23/24, she saw the wound for the first time and saw feces inside of the wound once she removed the bandage. She alerted WCN A to come clean the wound (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675671 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 11 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 675671 B.

F 0686 because CNAs were not allowed to bandage them. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety In an interview on 07/03/24 at 1:59 pm with Nurse A, she stated that she only saw the wound once upon her initial admission assessment and had no idea of its deterioration or saturation during incontinent care. She stated that she never touched the wound because she said that it was always covered, and the wound was cleaned daily by a WCN. Nurse A explained that Resident #1 used the restroom a lot and the staff tested her for c-diff (bacterium known for causing diarrheal infections), but her results came back negative. She stated that when she returned from the hospital on [DATE], she was on antibiotics. She explained that no one had told her that Resident #1's wound was getting worst and although she performed monthly skin assessments, she was not assigned Resident #1's room number. Residents Affected - Some In an interview on 07/03/24 at 2:14 pm with CNA B, she stated that she worked PRN but when she worked with Resident #1, she remembered her having frequent bowl movements. She remembered her having a wound on her bottom but could recall how it looked. In an interview on 07/03/24 at 2:22 pm with Nurse B, he stated he performed Resident #1's readmission skin assessment on 06/04/24 and he did not know she had a sacral wound until after her discharge on [DATE]. During her readmission skin assessment, she had excoriation and redness to her sacral region, but it was not a pressure sore. Upon her return, she was also prescribed an antibiotic for a chronic UTI . He was not aware if she had frequent bowel movements and he also had never seen the WCD. He expressed that if the wound was covered in fecal matter he would change the bandage, but he never had to. CNA's were not permitted to change bandages but they would alert the nurse if something needed to be done. He stated in his previous years of working at the facility, the WCN would tell the nurse the status of the wound so that they could add it to their 24-hour report. In an interview on 07/03/24 at 4:04 pm with WCN A, she explained that she was originally a floor nurse and was asked to become the WCN on 06/10/24. She was supposed to receive training from WCN B on 06/10/24- 06/14/24, however she only received training 06/10, 06/11, and 06/14. After rounds with the wound WCD on 06/12/24, she was supposed to complete charting and input new orders from the doctor into the computer. These orders were sent to DON B and WCN B. WCN A did not have access to receive orders at that time and were given to her by DON B, WCN did not have time to finish updating the orders the treatment log and DON B told her that she would get WCN B to input them before his last day on 06/14/24. WCN A stated she had a feeling the orders were not in, but DON B ensured her they had already been updated by WCN B. WCN A stated that she continued with the order entered on 06/07/24 and no air mattress was given to Resident #1 until 06/19/24. WCN A stated that she did not feel secure in this position when she first started because she did not receive a lot of training. She recalled a conversation she had with WCN B when she asked him how do you know if the wound was improving or getting worst in which he replied, you don't. She explained that she received her first official wound training on 07/02/24 and she now felt more confident in this position. She stated that every time she conducted wound care, she would change Resident #1 because she was always covered in urine and feces due to loose, f requent stools, and her bandage would be saturated through. She believed she was the only one to change the bandage because she always initialed and dated the bandage. The next day, the same bandage would still be on her wound. On 06/23/24 during a transfer from the bed to wheelchair with CNA A, Resident #1 became very weak and lethargic. CNA A stated that her eyes had rolled into the back of her head and that she had begun to shake, but it had stopped once she entered the room. WCN A checked Resident #1's BP was 96/60. Initially, WCN A instructed CNA A to transfer her back into the bed because she had a history of syncope . In doing so, Resident #1 had a bowel movement that saturated through her brief, bottoms, and onto the wheelchair. The stool was described as yellowish brown, and a stool sample was collected. The Physician was notified, and Resident #1 was sent to (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675671 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 11 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 675671 B.

F 0686 the hospital. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety In an interview on 07/03/24 at 4:49 pm with WCN B, he stated he was hired in October 2023 as the admissions nurse but ended up preforming wound care prior to his last days. He stated he had stepped in the role as the treatment nurse because the census was low and that determined the number of hours he could work. In order to receive more hours, he decided to preform wound care under the supervision of the WCD. His last week at the facility was from 06/10/24 - 06/14/24, and he was instructed to train WCN A on how to treat wounds, input orders, and update notes into the resident portal. On 06/12/24, he did not round with the WCD because he did not work that day and he still believed the wound to be a moisture associated skin damage. Prior to 06/12/24, Resident #1's orders were to put zinc oxide on her sacrum, and he stated that he did not receive orders from the wound doctor because he could not access his email. He explained that all orders and progress notes from the WCD went directly to DON B, and she would print them out and give them to him. He stated that he did not recall Resident #1 having new orders for Santyl/calcium and she was not on a low-pressure mattress prior to his last day on 06/14/24. He stated that inputting orders were the WCN's responsibility, but it would ultimately fall on DON B since she was the only one to receive them. WCN B stated that when he worked with Resident #1, her bandage on the sacral region would not be saturated through, but he knew it would be same bandage from the day before due to his initials and the date he had written on it. Residents Affected - Some In an interview on 07/03/24 at 5:11 pm with DON A, she stated that she started on 06/24/24 but was familiar with facility policy and Resident #1's file. She said that DON B's last day as the DON was on 06/13/24. She explained that WCN B did have access to the orders because only the WCN and the DON had the permissions to access the WCD's portal. She said that WCN B told DON B that he had completed entering the orders in the system, however as the DON , DON A stated she would have followed up to make sure it had been completed. She had noticed that upon her original admittance of 05/22/24 until her second readmittance on 06/04/24, resident #1 had already been on several round of antibiotics and she was also taking an 850mg twice daily dosage of metformin, which had the tendency to create loose stools. She stated all nurses have the responsibility to change bandages and it was crazy that were not changing Resident #1's bandages if saturated after a bowel movement. She explained the detriment in not keeping a sacral wound clean would be risk of sepsis and infections. In regard to WCN A's training, the facility was under the impression that WCN B would extend his resignation a few days longer to complete his training with WCN A, but he changed his mind and proceed to make his last day on 06/14/24. Normally, WCN A would have gone to the facility's sister facility to receive more detailed wound care training, however the facility was temporarily closed due to water damage from a storm that hit the region earlier that season. She was trained and check listed for her skills on 07/03/24 with a regional wound care nurse. DON B was contacted by phone on 07/04/24 at 11:40 am for an interview. She did not answer. A voicemail and text message were left requesting a call back.

In an interview on 07/05/24 at 10:39 am with DON B, she stated that her last day as the DON at the facility was on 06/16/24 but she currently worked PRN. She stated that to her knowledge, Resident #1 was admitted with a wound, but she could not describe how it looked initially, what wound stage it was, or how it had progressed. On 06/15/24, DON B saw the wound for the first time, after a CNA told her that the bandage had fallen off and it needed to be redressed. At the time, the wound had yellow sloughing on it but there was no odor. She asked WCN A what was the treatment orders for the sacral wound and she stated that the WCD gave new orders on 06/12/24. DON B stated that she instructed WCN B to put the updated orders for residents in the system on 06/13/24 and he informed her that it had been completed. DON B recalled that she looked through some of the new orders for wounds, but she did not look through all of them and stated she spot checked the system to see if they had been updated. She explained that normally after the WCD finished rounding at the facility, they wound meet and discuss the orders for each resident. However, that day , she did not arrive to facility until later and did not get to touch base with the WCD. Once the WCD had finished his rounds and uploaded his paperwork, DON B would print the orders off and hand them to the WCN. She stated that she was not 100% sure if WCN B had access to the portal where she retrieved the orders from because WCN B had transitioned into the position because it was open. On 06/12/24, DON B pulled the orders for WCN A because she did not have access to them, and she could not confirm if she had access after she left on 06/16/24 because she did not follow up. She explained that after she saw the wound on 06/15/24, she checked the orders in the system and saw a PRN (she could not recall what it stated) that she felt was not appropriate for the condition of the wound. WCN A told her that there were new orders for Resident #1, and she told her to make sure they were carried out, however she did not contact the WCD about the status of her access. In an interview attempt physician was contacted by phone on 07/05/24 at 10:55 am and on 07/06/24 at 11:00 am. He did not answer, and a voicemail was left regarding a call back.
