Resident was bedfast. Record review of Resident #1's discharge summary from local hospital #1 revealed: Resident #1 was discharged from the hospital and admitted to the facility on [DATE]. It was noted that Resident #1 had red area to groin or buttock both lower extremities. Record review of Resident #1's Care plan dated 4/1/2024 reflected he had bowel and bladder incontinence and at risk for skin breakdown. Goal: Resident #1 will remain free from skin breakdown due to incontinence and brief use through the review date. Interventions: Check as required for incontinence. Wash, rinse and dry perineum. Change clothes PRN after incontinence episodes. Further care plan review initiated on 9/18/2024 reflected Resident #1 had a potential for pressure ulcer development to buttock r/t decreased mobility, weakness, diabetes, and neuropathy. Goal: Resident #1's skin will remain intact, free from redness, blister, or discoloration. Intervention: Administer treatments as ordered and monitor for effectiveness and weekly head to toe

Record review of the last IDT care plan review for Resident #1 was conducted on 9/17/2024. No wounds were discussed. No other care plan reviews were conducted after 9/17/2024. An interview on 12/11/2024 at 3:30pm with the Wound Care nurse (LVN B) revealed she had been employed at the facility for about 1 year. She stated she started wound care of Resident #1 after CNA reported observing a skin tear on his sacral area and MASD to groin sometime in October. She said she immediately followed up with the NP about the wounds and house barrier cream was ordered along with a wound doctor consultation. She said she sometimes learned about skin issues from the CNA's and from wound sweeps in which she randomly looked at different residents' skin in search of wounds/tears. She stated the Wound Care Doctor A came to the facility every week on Thursday and did measurements of wounds and debridement as needed. She said all documentation is put into PCC as a nursing note and weekly wound care assessments. She said she followed physician orders for treatment of wounds. She said Resident #1 sacral wound was getting better, but after returning from the hospital it looked bad. She denied that Resident had the buttock, thigh and gluteal wounds before leaving for the hospital stay. She said she did not know why there were no notes concerning the MASD because it was treated with barrier cream since it was brought to her attention in October. She said she did not know why there was not documentation of the MASD until 11/12/2024. She was not sure why Resident #1's care plan had not been updated. She does participate in IDT meetings in which skin condition is discussed. An interview with RP on 12/11/2024 at 8:04 p.m, revealed her to state Resident #1 was admitted to the facility in March 2024. She stated that she usually visited him after work (6pm or so) at least 3 to 4 days a week. She said she had not participated in a care plan meeting for Resident #1 in months. She said not since August or September 2024. She said wounds were not discussed or he did not have them at that time. She denied having a care plan meeting to discuss Resident #1's wounds, goals or interventions. Interview with the DON on 12/13/2024 at 11:16am she stated she had been employed for about 4 months. She said sacral wounds could come from residents' co-morbidities or could be from residents' briefs needing to be changed more often because some residents get wet more than expected. She said the consequence of having a sacral wound is discomfort and pain. She stated the MDS nurse was responsible for updating the care plans but the IDT team met also to discuss any significant changes. An interview with the Executive Director on 12/13/2024 at 11:16 a.m. reflected her to state she could not recall when she first learned about Resident #1's sacral wound. She said that the MASD in his groin area was being treated to her knowledge. She was not sure why it was not in the progress notes because the weekly skin assessment showed up on the nursing progress notes. She said the baseline care plan was to be done within 48 hours, and updated upon significant change, quarterly and annually. She was not sure why the care plan did not address the sacral wound but probably because it was not a stage 3 wound until he returned from the hospital. An interview with the SW on 12/19/2024 at 10:57 a.m., stated the last conversation he had with Resident #1's RP was concerning his wounds on last Friday (12/13/2024). He said she wanted to make sure the facility was taking care of his wounds and keeping him clean. He said Resident #1 was scheduled for a care plan meeting today (12/19/2024), however, he went back to the hospital today. He stated the last care plan meeting was on 9/19/2024. He stated care plan meetings were held quarterly unless there was a hospital stay or upon request from the family. He stated he could not recall the RP asking for a meeting or any concerns prior to last week.

In a subsequent interview with the DON on 12/17/2024 at 2:55pm, she stated that all care plans should be done upon admission, significant change, re-entry from a hospital stay (if anything changed), quarterly and annually. She said she was not sure why the care plan had not been updated. She said she would have to check with the team about it. She stated all care plans should be updated as needed. All admission, re-entry or significant changes should have an update. She said if care plans are not completed timely there could be a delay in care, worsening of wounds and pain. An interview with MDS Nurse on 12/19/2024 at 1:15pm, stated baseline care plans are done within 48 hours, quarterly, annually, and upon a significant change. She stated all Residents are at a high risk for pressure wound when they have low mobility. She said Resident #1 was not walking but was alert when he was admitted . She said she was puzzled about why his assessment at the hospital was done the next day after he was admitted . She does not know how they can say the sacral wound was developed at the facility. She said this is why it was not addressed on the care plan. It was merely a skin tear as far as she was aware and that did not require an updated care plan. Record review of the facility's person-centered care plan revised on 12/2023 read in part: It is the policy of this facility that the interdisciplinary team (IDT) shall develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessment. The IDT team will also develop and implement a baseline care plan for each resident, within 48 hours of admission, that includes minimum healthcare information necessary to properly care for each resident and instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care that meet professional standards of quality care. The resident's comprehensive plan of care will be reviewed and/or revised by the IDT after each assessment, including both the comprehensive and quarterly review assessments.

Record review of the last IDT care plan review for Resident #1 was conducted on 9/17/2024. No wounds were discussed.
Residents Affected - Few An interview on 12/11/2024 at 3:30pm with the Wound Care nurse (LVN B) revealed she had been employed at the facility for about 1 year. She stated she started wound care of Resident #1 after CNA reported observing a skin tear on his sacral area and MASD to groin sometime in October. She said she immediately followed up with the NP about the wounds and house barrier cream was ordered. She said she learned about skin issues from the CNA's and from wound sweeps in which she randomly looked at different residents' skin in search of wounds/tears. She stated Wound Care Doctor A came to the facility every week on Thursday and did measurements of wounds and debridement as needed. She said all documentation is put into PCC as a nursing note and weekly wound care assessments. She said she followed physician orders for treatment of wounds. She said Resident #1 sacral wound was getting better, but after returning from the hospital it looked bad. She said she did not know why there were no notes concerning the MASD because it was treated with barrier cream since it was brought to her attention in October. She said she did not know why there was not documentation of the MASD until 11/12/2024 . She is responsible for documenting wound care after it is provided. An interview on 12/11/2024 at 4:09pm with LVN A revealed he had been employed at the facility for 14 years. He stated he only did wound care when the wound care nurse was not there. He said Resident #1 had a wound on the sacral and MASD in the groin area, buttocks and gluteal on left and right sides. He said that resident sacral and MASD to groin wounds were worst when he came back from the hospital, and he had gotten the buttocks and gluteal tears from the hospital. He stated charge nurses rounded every 2 hours and sometimes assist with Resident #1's care due to him being a 2-person assist. He said Resident #1 wounds were not that bad. He said as the charge nurse he is responsible for making rounds and ensuring offloading and timely incontinent care is completed. An interview with RP on 12/11/2024 at 8:04 p.m, revealed her to state Resident #1 was admitted to the facility in March 2024. She stated that she usually visited him after work at least 3 to 4 days a week. She stated on 12/5/2024 while visiting the resident, he was lethargic and had slurred speech. She stated she asked about the facility having labs done. She later decided to have him sent out to a local hospital to err on the side of caution and because she was concerned about him possibly having a stroke. She said EMS was called and he was taken to the hospital. She stated after the hospital did an UA; it was determined that he had a bad UTI. She said while visiting him at the hospital, she learned about the sacral wound, and MASD on the scrotum, groin, and pressure wound on his heel. She stated that she was horrified at what she saw. She stated he did not have wounds prior to being admitted to the facility. She forwarded the photos taken at the hospital. An interview with local hospital #2's discharge planner on 12/12/2024 at 8:52 a.m. revealed her to state that Resident #1 was initially admitted to the hospital on [DATE] for altered mental status. She said on 12/6/2024 photos were taken due to the severity and the number of wounds. She stated Resident #1 also had a visit in Sept. The main complaint then was he had passed out. She said they also had photos from the [DATE]th visit. She said photos were available with a public information request. An interview with the Wound care doctor on 12/12/2024 at 9:20a.m., revealed he had been providing wound care at the facility once a week for 2 years. He stated the sacral wound he was treating was a superficial wound, after returning from the hospital it was a stage 3 pressure wound. He said

Resident #1 developed the stage 3 wound in the hospital. He said every time he round, there was a treatment nurse rounding with him. It is the same wound care nurse, LVN B. He said he is currently treating 13-14 residents at the facility. He said if he would have been told about scrotum and other areas, he would have treated the same as today with barrier cream. He stated every week he saw all 13-14 residents. He said every time he round, there was a treatment nurse rounding with him. It is the same wound care nurse, LVN B . He stated today he was at the facility from 6:15am until about 8:15am. He said each resident was assessed, wounds measured, and treated. He said today it took him about 2 hours to treat all residents. An interview with CNA A on 12/12/2024 at 5:07pm, she stated she worked the front of the Hall where Resident #1 resided. She said she helped to shower him on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. She said when someone turned Resident #1, he went back on his back. She said when they placed him in his wheelchair he cried, and so they put him back in bed, and he would only stay in a chair maybe for an hour before he was put back into bed. She could not recall the last time he was placed in a chair or wheelchair. She said Resident #1 had to be turned he could not do anything by himself. He required assistance by 2 people. She said she assisted the WCN with wound care if she needed help. She said Resident #1 had declined since admission. She stated CNAs round every 2 hours for incontinent care and re-positioning. An interview on 12/12/2024 at 5:27pm revealed CNA B had been employed at the facility for 7 years. He said he had been taking care of Resident #1 since he was admitted in March. His usually shift was day shift 6a-6pm, he said all resident briefs are changed as needed. He said they round every 2 hours to check on residents. He said he saw the sacral wound the day the lady came from local veterans' hospital to do skin assessment with the facility's wound care nurse. He could not recall the exact date. He had just given Resident #1 a shower. So, he went back to the room and showed the wound care nurse his sacral area. He said he was taught to complete peri care by: Getting supplies, wipe front to back, pad dry, wipe the bottom again when he turned to the back and pat dry. He said when he changed Resident #1 today, the wound nurse told him the new orders were to place 4x4 gauze between his thighs to prevent the skin from rubbing against the swollen scrotum. He said new orders are in PCC. He said he documented Residents ADL care immediately after he finished providing care. He said neglect is when you do not take care of the residents. For example, you refuse to change or feed them. He said he would report neglect to the Charge nurse and Executive Director. An interview with the DON on 12/13/2024 at 11:16 a.m., she stated she had been employed for about 4 months. She said sacral wounds could come from residents' co-morbidities or could be from residents' briefs needing to be changed more often because some residents get wet more than expected. She said the consequence of having a sacral wound is discomfort and pain. She stated pressure wounds could also be caused by poor nutrition, age, or co-morbidities as she stated. An interview with Clinical Resource A at 11:16 a.m., she stated when wounds were reported they would apply the initial treatment, which could be zinc, barrier cream and request a wound consult. The wound care doctor would take it from there. Sacral wounds could be the result of not being re-positioned properly, briefs not being changed as needed or co-morbidities. She said sometimes their diagnosis can prevent healing. An interview with the Executive Director on 12/13/2024 at 11:16 a.m. reflected her to state she could not recall when she first learned about Resident #1's sacral wound. She stated Resident #1's decline was the result of co-morbidities, and this could have been the reason for the skin breakdown as well. She said she was in constant communication with the physician from the local VA hospital and

An interview with NP on 12/16/2024 at 12:59pm, she said she had been caring for patients at the facility for a year. She is at the facility once per week normally on Wednesday mornings. She stated she had 10 residents at the facility. She said she was notified about Resident #1's sacral wound sometime in October and she made a recommendation for wound care, PT and OT consultations. She also ordered that Resident #1 wound be cleansed, pat dry apply xerofoam, cover with boarded dressing and to turn the patient every 2 hours. She said she was not aware of the MASD. She said the facility nurses were to inform her of any skin tears or anything skin related. But, she said she only saw Resident #1 concerning chronic conditions, such as his arthritis, CHF and Diabetes, not wounds. She said if she had known about the MASD she would ordered medication. She said in her professional opinion, sacral wounds are avoidable. She said if adequate offloading, re-positioning, and keeping their briefs dry would prevent skin breakdown even with co-morbidities. She said Resident #1 used to be put in the chair, but it had been about a month or so since she last observed him to be sitting up. She said although she was not at the facility all day, Resident #1 had been in bed when she saw him during the past month.
Residents Affected - Few
An interview with Physician A on 12/17/2024 at 11:06am, he said he was not the medical director at the facility. He had been coming to the facility since 2010. He said Resident #1 he had dementia and other co-morbidities. He stated that his NP saw him once a week. He stated that his NP would be able to provide more detailed information about Resident #1 as he was in a clinic at the time of the call. He stated although Resident #1 had co-morbidities sacral wounds are absolutely avoidable with offloading, turning the patient and keeping their briefs dry. He said not changing briefs often especially for patients that are bedbound and are lying in bed all the time increases their chance for skin breakdown. He stated it only takes about 2 hours for a wound to develop. He stated for all high-risk patients with mobility issues he put in an order for skin assessments and devices as needed. Record review of Wound Care doctor A evaluations on 11/19/2024 revealed he had reviewed offloading surfaces and discussed surfaces care plan with resident and/or staff. On 11/26/2024 he noted that Resident #1 was not following repositioning or offloading recommendations and counseling provided . Record review of POC (Point of Care provided by CNA's) for Resident #1 dated [DATE] revealed: Turned and re-position (did you turn and reposition)- did not have any documentation on second shift (7p-7a) on: 11/13, 11/15, 11/18, 11/20, 11/24, 11/25, 11/27, 11/28 or 11/30/2024 Incontinent care:
