F 0684 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety wounds. It appeared that the wounds had been there for some time with extensive gangrene to right foot and lower leg . Vascular surgery was consulted for major amputation as right foot was not salvageable. [Resident #1] did not take any blood thinning medications. Record review of after visit summary printed on 4/8/25 indicated Resident #1 was in the hospital from [DATE] to 4/8/25 for above the knee amputation due to gangrene of the right foot. Residents Affected - Some During an interview on 4/11/25 at 3:27pm, LVN L said that she was the admitting nurse for Resident #1 and responsible for entering his orders. She said that she had finished the new admission paperwork and entered the orders and appointments as outlined in the after-visit summary from the admitting hospitals. LVN L said that she was not very proficient with the new admission process and could not remember the admission paperwork for Resident #1. However, she said that if a cardiologist appointment was listed in the after-visit summary for Resident #1, it should have been recorded in the scheduler for the transportation driver. She indicated that the ADONs were responsible for reviewing the new admission orders and paperwork after the admission to ensure their accuracy. LVN L also said that the ADON on the second floor at that time was no longer employed there. During an interview on 4/14/25 at 3:34pm and at 5:54pm, DON O said she was unaware that Resident #1 had missed his cardiology appointment on 02/25/25, as well as the vascular appointment on 03/26/25, until the information was brought to her attention on 04/11/25. DON O stated the charge nurse assigned to the admitting resident's hall was responsible for entering the admission orders and scheduling the appointments in their system. During the morning meetings, department heads reviewed all new admissions from the previous day, and she did not know how the ball got dropped with Resident #1. DON O said she had access to the cardiologist's company system and was able to verify that Resident #1 indeed missed the appointment on 02/25/25, which was not rescheduled due to the failure to enter it at the time of admission, and the oversight was not identified until it was too late. DON O indicated Resident #1 maintained stable vital signs with no acute cardiac events of record and was followed by [their] in-house physician, NP and wound care doctor. She expressed her expectation was the Transportation Driver would have taken Resident #1 to the appointment on 03/26/25, as he was not a nursing staff member and was not qualified to make that decision. Additionally, she expected the nurse to document any missed appointments, reschedule them, and notify her, which had not occurred. DON O said she expected for the Treatment nurse to follow up on all orders given by the wound doctor because she was the only staff who had access to the wound doctor's notes. She said the Treatment nurse should be documenting on Resident #1's chart and followed up with Resident #1's vascular consult. During an interview on 4/11/25 at 1:28pm, LVN L said that she was the charge nurse for [NAME] Hall and the left side of North Hall during the 6am-2pm shift. She indicated that Resident #1 was located on her hall and had a scheduled vascular surgeon appointment on an unspecified date in March 2025, which was missed because Transportation Driver P was impatient and refused to wait for CNA M to wash and clean Resident #1's face. LVN L said Resident #1 was positioned in a wheelchair near the nurse station, and when Transportation Driver P arrived to pick up Resident #1, CNA M was in the process of preparing to clean his face. At that moment, Transportation Driver P informed both her and CNA M that he did not have time to wait for the cleaning and subsequently decided it was too late to take Resident #1 to the appointment. LVN L attempted to explain to Transportation Driver P that most appointments typically allow a 15-minute grace period and expressed her belief that Resident #1 could have arrived on time since the appointment location was not far from the facility. However, Transportation Driver P dismissed her comments and left without taking Resident #1. LVN L mentioned she called to reschedule the appointment but was unable to provide a new date nor confirm the rescheduling had occurred, and she stated she did not document this information in 676005 Page 11 of 21 676005 05/05/2025 Park Place Nursing & Rehabilitation Center 2450 E Fifth St Tyler, TX 75701

F 0684 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some Resident #1's chart. LVN L stated she did not remember informing anyone about Resident #1 missing the scheduled appointment and she should have documented it but failed to do so. During an interview on 4/11/25 at 1:35pm, CNA M said she worked as the NA for [NAME] Hall during the 6 am to 2 pm shift. She said Resident #1 resided on her hall and had a scheduled appointment on an unspecified date in March 2025. Resident #1 was unable to attend because Transportation Driver P refused to wait for her to clean Resident #1's face prior to the appointment. CNA M asserted the cleaning would not take long and communicated this to Transportation Driver P but, he determined it was too late to transport Resident #1 to the appointment. LVN L informed the driver Resident #1 still had sufficient time to arrive, but Transportation Driver P chose to walk away and instructed them to reschedule the appointment. CNA M stated she was unaware if Resident #1's appointment had been rescheduled. During an interview on 4/14/25 at 2:49pm, Transportation Driver P said he worked Monday-Friday from 7am to 3pm and rotated weekends since November 2024.He stated he received minimal on-the-job training when he first began his role. The limited training he did receive was from the previous driver he replaced, who provided instruction for approximately four days, after which he learned independently. Transportation Driver P recalled the incident involving Resident #1, LVN L, and CNA M. He stated on that morning, he had several back-to-back appointments. Due to the type of van, he operated, he could only transport one resident at a time if they were in a wheelchair, as that was the maximum capacity. He informed an unidentified nurse to ensure that Resident #1 was prepared for his appointment, given his busy schedule. Transportation Driver P could not recall the exact time, he attempted to pick up Resident #1 twice, but on both occasions, the resident was not ready. During the first attempt, Resident #1 was still in bed in his room, prompting him to notify the nurse to have the resident prepared for his return. After taking another resident to an appointment, he returned to the facility for Resident #1, only to find that CNA M had still not prepared him. He was informed they needed a few more minutes to clean Resident #1's face, but the process was taking longer than anticipated. When he returned to check on Resident #1 again, he found that the resident was still not ready. He then informed LVN L that Resident #1 would not make it to his appointment on time, as the time required to prepare the resident, transport him down the elevators, and secure him in the van would exceed the 15-minute grace period. Transportation Driver P stated that LVN L was responsible for rescheduling Resident #1's missed appointment, but he did not recall seeing a new appointment scheduled for the resident. He expressed that he did not believe the situation was his fault. During an interview on 4/14/25 at 6:21pm, the Treatment Nurse said that the wound doctor had instructed her to arrange an appointment for Resident #1 with the vascular specialist, which was her duty. She said the Vascular Consult was recorded on 3/6/25, and although she attempted to schedule the vascular appointments for Resident #1, her efforts were unsuccessful, and she failed to document those attempts in Resident #1's medical record. The Treatment Nurse could not clarify the reason for the 14-day delay between 3/6/25 and 3/20/25 in scheduling the vascular appointment. She said her last assessment of the Resident #1's wound occurred on Friday, 03/28/25, at which point there was no odor present, and Resident #1 had wounds located only on the right foot's side and heel, with indications that healing was taking place. Treatment nurse said herself and the wound doctor examined Resident #1's right foot the following Monday, 03/31/25, they detected an odor and noted a deterioration in the condition of the resident's wounds, which had begun to spread to the toes. She stated she only became aware of the situation on 3/31/25 when the Wound Doctor inquired about the outcome of Resident #1's vascular appointment scheduled for 3/26/25. Upon reviewing Resident #1's chart, she learned from an unidentified nurse that Resident #1 had missed the appointment due to transportation issues.

During an interview on 05/03/25 at 10:22 AM, LVN L stated she did not recall any discoloration, edema, or wounds to Resident #1's legs when he admitted to the facility. LVN L stated she remembered Resident #1 developing a wound on his heel but was unable to remember the wound. LVN L stated on 04/01/25 CNA M reported that Resident #1 had an odor to his wounds. LVN L stated CNA M had reported she had told other nurses about the odor. LVN L stated Resident #1 was in therapy when CNA M reported the odor, so she requested Resident #1 be laid down after lunch so she could assess the wound. LVN L stated before she was able to assess Resident #1's wounds, LVN J and ADON D had assessed Resident #1 and sent him to the hospital for evaluation. LVN L stated she had not seen Resident #1's foot wounds for a couple of weeks because the Treatment Nurse was completing the treatments. During an interview on 05/03/25 at 11:01 AM, LVN J stated she was the treatment nurse at the facility. LVN J stated she completed treatments Monday through Friday unless she was working the floor.

LVN J stated the wounds started off as fluid filled blisters than with treatment initiated, they started to dry out. LVN J stated the wounds appeared arterial or vascular from the beginning, which was why a doppler study was ordered. LVN J stated Resident #1 had no discoloration to his foot in the beginning. LVN J stated she was unaware Resident #1 had no palpable pedal pulses to his right foot, until she read the wound care doctors notes. LVN J stated she communicated the results of the doppler to the wound care doctor and he ordered a vascular surgeon referral. LVN J stated the DON had asked ADON Q to make the appointment, but he did not. LVN J stated after a few weeks had passed it was discovered that ADON Q had not made the appointment. LVN J stated she had made a few calls to attempt to schedule the appointment, but they had not gotten back to her, and she did not follow up. LVN J stated Resident #1's wounds started off as fluid-filled blisters, then dried and became black. LVN J stated Resident #1's feet were normal color and 676005 Page 13 of 21 676005 05/05/2025 Park Place Nursing & Rehabilitation Center 2450 E Fifth St Tyler, TX 75701

LVN J stated complications of no blood flow to the foot or tissues included: hardening of the foot, increased risk of infection, and loss of limb. LVN J stated the vascular appointment and cardiologist appointment could have prevented the loss of his leg. LVN J stated she was responsible for following up with the wound care doctors' orders. LVN J stated she pulled an order report every day to review order changes for wounds. During an interview on 05/03/25 at 12:21 PM, the Wound Care Doctor stated Resident #1 presented with fluid-filled blisters to his right foot and there was no pulses present to the right foot. The Wound Care Doctor stated he believed it could have been arterial, so he ordered a doppler study. When the doppler study results were received he then ordered a vascular referral. The Wound Care Doctor stated he followed up with the referral status each time he was at the facility. The Wound Care Doctor stated the facility reported multiple issues which caused a delay in the appointment. The Wound Care Doctor stated Resident #1 had poor circulation from the first day he was treated, which was why the priority for his treatment was getting the Vascular Surgeon referral. The Wound Care Doctor stated his main goals for his wound care was to prevent infection and keep it dry and scabbed over.

She said residents requiring EBP had an orange-colored magnetic strip marked with an A or a B affixed to the doorframe. She said there were a few doors that had a red colored star marked with the words EBP because they had runout of the orange strips. She said all staff had been inserviced numerous times on EBP and the use of PPE. She said she had done spot checks with staff on all shifts quizzing them on their knowledge of the use of PPE for EBP. She said a physician order was written in the resident's record so it would alert the nurses to make sure EBP practices were being done. She said EBP was also placed on the CNAs point of care so they were also aware which residents required EBP. She said the 3 drawer plastic containers were present on each hall in the facility and the nurses were to make sure the containers were stocked. She said they tried to keep 2 containers on each hall. During an interview on 04/30/2025 at 11:00 AM ADON D said she was in charge of infection control on the first floor. She said EBP was to be used with residents that had a catheter, G-tube (feeding), wound, or a PICC (thin flexible tube inserted into a vein in the upper arm and threaded into a large vein near the heart).
