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
observations, interviews, and records review the facility failed to develop and implement comprehensive
person-centered care plans that include measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's
medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs, and describe the services that are to be furnished to
attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being for 1
(Resident #1) of 3 resident's care plans reviewed.
1.
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan to address the risk of/actual altered skin integrity
for Resident #1. admission paperwork (to the SNF) dated 11/08/24, revealed Resident #1 had altered skin
integrity.
2.
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for PAD for Resident #1. admission paperwork (to
the SNF) dated 11/08/24, revealed Resident #1 had a history of PAD.
These failures could negatively impact the resident's quality of life, as well as the quality of care and
services received if care planning is not complete or is inadequate.
Findings included:
A record review of Resident #1's modified admission MDS assessment, dated 11/15/24, revealed a
78-years-old female, admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #1 had an initial diagnosis of metabolic
encephalopathy (an alteration in consciousness caused by diffuse or global brain dysfunction). Other
admission diagnoses included AKF (a sudden episode of kidney damage or kidney failure); E. coli (infection
commonly found in the lower intestine); and T2DM (a chronic condition characterized by insulin resistance
and high blood sugar levels). A BIMS score of 10 suggested Resident #1 had a moderate cognitive decline.
Resident #1's functional status required one-person substantial/maximal assistance with ADLs and
transfers. Resident #1 was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. Section M - Skin conditions of the
modified admission MDS assessment revealed Resident #1 did not have any unhealed PU/PI,
venous/arterial ulcers, or other ulcers, wounds, and skin problems. Resident #1 was at risk for developing
pressure ulcers/injuries. The modified admission MDS assessment indicated pressure reducing devices for
chair and bed and applications of ointments/medications other than to feet were active skin and ulcer/injury
treatments in place.

Record review of Resident #1's Discharge MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 did not
have one or more unhealed pressure ulcers/injuries.
Record review of Resident #1's comprehensive care plan [Date initiated: 11/11/24; Review Date: 12/02/24]
did not reflect a Focus problem for impaired skin integrity, risk of developing a pressure injury, or goals and
interventions in accordance with the resident's choices, including, to the extent possible, attempting to
improve or stabilize the skin integrity/tissue breakdown and to provide treatments. Resident #1's care plan
goals revealed Resident #1 would remain free from skin breakdown due to incontinence and brief use
related to functional bladder incontinence [Date initiated: 12/10/24] and would be free from skin tears and
maintain intact skin related to the potential for impairment of skin integrity - bruise to right elbow r/t fragile
skin [Date initiated: 12/06/24] through the review date (03/02/25). Interventions for the potential impairment
of skin integrity included weekly skin checks, notify MD/NP/PA/RP of impairments of skin integrity, and to
follow facility protocol for treatment of skin impairment.
A record review of Resident #1's transfer admission orders dated 11/08/24 sent by the discharging facility
(acute care hospital [admission: [DATE] - 11/08/24]) revealed:
Resume Calamine Topical. Apply to affected area three (3) times daily to buttocks.
Resume mineral oil-hydrophil ointment. Commonly known as: Aquaphor (used as a moisturizer to treat or
prevent dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin and minor skin irritations [such as diaper rash]) to buttocks for itching.
MD physical examination dated 11/08/24 at 11:34 AM revealed wound (11/05/24) - rash midline coccyx (3

HPI: Information necessary for today's visit was obtained from the patient, nursing staff, per patient's
medical record. Reason for visit: The resident is being evaluated today for a comprehensive skin
assessment. 11.22.24: [Resident #1] being seen for skin assessment. noted to have intact skin on
assessment today. noted to have generalized xerosis (a condition of rough, dry, scaling, itchy, red, and
sometimes cracking skin). SKIN: warm and dry, Dry, flaky, intact, no open wound. RECOMMENDATIONS:
Apply moisturizer to resident's skin routinely. Do not massage over bony prominences. The patient was
noted to have dry skin generalized to entire body. Recommend use of emollient daily. Maintain adequate
oral hydration as indicated if not contraindicated. Continue with turning and repositioning schedule per
protocol for pressure prevention. Position patient side to side as tolerated. Recommend resident out of bed
as tolerated for limited intervals of time, alternating activity to minimize pressure. The resident is incontinent
of bowel and bladder. Use appropriate moisture barrier creams per formulary to provide thorough skin care
with each incontinent episode. Use formulary briefs when indicated to manage moisture and assess often.
Ensure proper fitting briefs, socks, stockings, and other clothing to prevent pressure. Ensure resident has
proper fitting footwear to prevent/minimize unwanted pressure and friction.
A review of Resident #1's hospital medical records (admission: [DATE]; discharged to Hospice: 01/07/25 at
7:52 PM) revealed Resident #1 arrived at the ED 12/29/24 at 10:40 PM and admitted inpatient 12/30/24 at
1:54 AM. The first ED provider notes dated 12/29/24 at 11:03 PM identified Resident #1's legs were slightly
mottled (patchy discoloration), abrasion-like spots on toes of right foot, no distal (position that is farther from
the center of the body or the point of attachment) pulses. The admission H & P summary entered by the
provider on 12/30/24 at 3:53 AM reflected altered skin integrity to Resident #1's buttocks - excoriation
(mechanical removal or rubbing of the skin's surface layer, resulting in superficial wounds or scratches) vs
abrasion (process of rubbing away the surface of something); skin dry and flaky; heels were boggy (deep
tissue injuries may be recognized as areas on the heel that are dark purple or reddish-purple in color,
boggy or firm and warmer or cooler to touch than surrounding tissue). On 01/01/25 at 10:00 AM, the wound
consultant identified the altered skin integrity to Resident #1's sacral area as an unstageable deep pressure
injury. Wounds identified: Rash midline coccyx; Abrasion right toes; and Pressure injury sacrum (01/01/25)
found to have ischemic eschar (a thick, dry, and dark crust that forms over a wound due to a reduced blood
flow to a part of the body) of the gluteal area.
During an interview on 01/04/25 at 3:43 PM, WCN B said that she was the weekend wound care nurse.
WCN B said that the facility policy and procedures for PU/PI prevention included turning and repositioning
every two hours, pressure reduction devices, a low air loss mattress based on the wound stage, and barrier
cream. WCN B said that the ADON(s) and WCN(s) were responsible for ordering pressure relieving devices
and to ensure devices were in place. WCN B said that she coordinated with all direct care staff and
conducted daily rounds to ensure care was provided and low air loss mattresses were functioning properly.
WCN B said that she performed the admission head to toe skin assessment on Resident #1 in November
2024. WCN B said that she did not observe any wounds and that Resident #1 did not have any skin issues.
WCN B stated in her own words that wounds were open areas that required treatment(s). WCN B said that
the residents' assigned nurses were responsible for weekly skin assessments. WCN B said that Resident
#1 was not followed for wound care or required treatments by the wound care nurse on the weekends.
WCN B said that interventions such as turning and repositioning every two hours, off-loading pressure
areas, and weekly skin assessments were in place to prevent skin

breakdown for all residents. WCN B said care plan interventions were determined by the WMD/WNP, DON,
ADON, Weekday WCN, and collaboration with direct care staff. WCN B emphasized that she was the
weekend wound care nurse, and the Monday through Friday wound care nurse [WCN C] would be the first
contact about care plans. WCN B said that the weekday wound care nurse would likely be aware of or
notified about any skin changes to Resident #1. WCN B said that the DON and MDS nurse was responsible
for the development and updating resident care plans.
During an interview and record review on 01/05/25 at 2:20 PM, the DON stated residents were assessed
on admission for altered skin integrity and to identify PU/PI. The DON stated that it was a collaborative
effort with the clinical care team, included the ADON, DON, MDS nurse to implement and update care
plans. The DON said that the interdisciplinary team reviewed the 24-hour report and reviewed care plans to
ensure the care plan was consistent with the resident's disease process, risks, needs, preferences, and
behaviors. The DON said that she was unaware that the facility failed to develop a comprehensive
person-centered, measurable, and time-based care plan to address risk for skin breakdown or PAD skin
issues including problems, goals, and interventions. The DON indicated that care plans should be
person-centered, developed, and implemented to meet the preferences and goals of the resident.
During a phone interview on 01/05/25 at 3:37 PM, LVN A stated he was the admitting nurse for Resident
#1. LVN A said that he noted and documented redness to Resident #1's buttocks. LVN A described the
redness as spread out and not directed in one place on Resident #1's buttocks and there no open areas.
LVN A could not recall assessment of Resident #1's lower extremities. LVN A denied the responsibility or
role of developing and updating care plans. LVN A stated that the ADON, DON, or WCN were responsible
for individual care plans but was not sure.
During an interview on 01/06/25 at 2:19 PM, the ADON said that she inspected Resident #1's skin
alongside the wound care nurse (WCN C) following Resident #1's admission to the facility. The ADON said
that Resident #1 presented with redness to the buttocks. The ADON described the redness in her own
words as MASD (moisture-associated skin damage), a widely spread red, irregular shaped raised
reddened dots. The ADON said barrier cream was applied to Resident #1's bottom after incontinent care.
The ADON said that the area was healed before Resident #1 transferred to another hall within the facility.
The ADON denied she provided direct care or conducted a skin assessment to ensure the area was
healed. The ADON said that it was possible for an incontinent resident to be at an increased risk for
pressure injuries who were exposed to moisture from urine or feces. The ADON stated that the MDS nurse
was responsible for preparing and updating care plans. The ADON said that she participated in care plan
meetings but did not create or make changes to care plans. The ADON stated care plans guided staff about
resident care needs and what interventions to provide. The ADON said that the risk to Resident #1 was the
failure to provide appropriate interventions to prevent deep tissue injuries or worsening of a disease
process.
During an interview on 01/06/2025 4:16 PM, LVN E said that he was assigned to Resident #1 a couple of
times while she resided on his assigned Hall. LVN E recalled completing a weekly skin assessment on
Resident #1 that reflected Resident #1 had a wound or skin issues that were not new. LVN E stated that
Resident #1 had redness on her rear end and that he did not see any opened areas or anything. LVN E
said that he did not catch the bruise to Resident #1's elbow or discoloration to lower extremities. LVN E said
that he communicated with the CNAs to generously apply barrier cream to prevent skin breakdown. LVN E
described the discoloration on Resident #1's buttocks as a range of light to a dark redness. LVN E said that
he did not inform the treatment nurse about the redness. LVN E denied the responsibility or role of
developing and updating care plans. LVN E could not state the

WCN C said that she verbalized feedback during care plan meetings but was not solely responsible for
developing or updating care plans. WCN C stated the risks of not developing or timely updates of the
comprehensive care plan about skin issues included the failure of the implementation of nurse interventions
to monitor skin issues, notify the physician, consult the wound care physician, and document temperature,
color, and palpable/diminished pulses of Resident #1's lower extremities. The WCN C said that she did not

observations, interviews, and records review, the facility failed to identify and provide needed care and
services that were resident centered, in accordance with the resident's preferences, goals for care and
professional standards of practice that will meet each resident's physical, mental, and psychosocial needs,
for 1 (Resident #1) of 3 residents reviewed for quality of care.
Residents Affected - Some
1.
The facility failed to perform at least two weekly skin assessments for Resident #1 from the admission date
of 11/09/24. The first weekly skin assessment was completed on 11/27/24 that reflected No skin issues or
wounds. On 11/12/24, WNP H identified and documented bilateral lower extremities skin without evidence
of acute ischemic changes (ranges from symptomless to necrosis [the death of most or all the cells in an
organ or tissue due to disease, injury, or failure of the blood supply] and limb loss) and diminished pedal
pulses. On 12/29/24 after 10:00 PM, Resident #1 was transferred to the ED for a non-wound injury. On
12/29/24 at 11:03 PM the ED provider identified Resident #1's legs were slightly mottled (patchy
discoloration), abrasions on all toes of right foot, no distal (position that is farther from the center of the
body or the point of attachment) pulses. Hospitalist visit information dated 01/03/25 revealed absent pulses
of both lower extremities. The hospital summary dated 01/07/25 revealed Resident #1 had gangrenous skin
of the toes.
2.
The facility failed to identify and monitor for signs/symptoms of PAD. The facility failed to identify, monitor,
treat, and document Resident #1's history of peripheral artery disease ([PAD] (a common condition in which
narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the arms or legs). On 12/29/24 at 11:03 PM, the ED provider
discovered and documented Resident #1's legs were slightly mottled and abrasion to dorsal aspects of all
right toes during history and physical (H&P) exam.
These failures placed residents with untreated arterial ulcers at an unnecessary risk of serious diseases or
complications, including infection, tissue necrosis, and, in extreme cases, amputation.
Findings included:
A record review of Resident #1's modified admission MDS assessment, dated 11/15/24, revealed a
78-years-old female, admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #1 had an initial diagnosis of metabolic
encephalopathy (an alteration in consciousness caused by diffuse or global brain dysfunction). Other
admission diagnoses included AKF (a sudden episode of kidney damage or kidney failure); E. coli (infection
commonly found in the lower intestine); and T2DM (a chronic condition characterized by insulin resistance
and high blood sugar levels). A BIMS score of 10 suggested Resident #1 had a moderate cognitive decline.
Resident #1's functional status required one-person substantial/maximal assistance with ADLs and
transfers. Resident #1 was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. Section M - Skin conditions of the
modified admission MDS assessment revealed Resident #1 did not have any unhealed PU/PI,
venous/arterial ulcers, or other ulcers, wounds, and skin problems. Resident #1 was at risk for developing
pressure ulcers/injuries. The modified admission MDS assessment indicated pressure reducing devices for
chair and bed and applications of ointments/medications other than to feet were active skin and ulcer/injury
treatments in place.

Record review of Resident #1's Discharge MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 did not
have any unhealed PU/PI, venous/arterial ulcers, or other ulcers, wounds, and skin problems.
Record review of Resident #1's comprehensive care plan [Date initiated: 11/11/24; Review Date: 12/02/24]
did not reflect a Focus problem for impaired skin integrity, risk of developing a pressure injury, PAD
management, or goals and interventions in accordance with the resident's choices, including, to the extent
possible, attempting to improve or stabilize the skin integrity/tissue breakdown and to provide treatments.
Resident #1's care plan goals revealed Resident #1 would remain free from skin breakdown due to
incontinence and brief use related to functional bladder incontinence [Date initiated: 12/10/24] and would be
free from skin tears and maintain intact skin related to the potential for impairment of skin integrity - bruise
to right elbow r/t fragile skin [Date initiated: 12/06/24] through the review date (03/02/25). Interventions for
the potential impairment of skin integrity included weekly skin checks, notify MD/NP/PA/RP of impairments
of skin integrity, and to follow facility protocol for treatment of skin impairment.
A record review of Resident #1's clinical records from the previous SNF (02/26/20 - 11/04/24) revealed
[Resident #1] had a history of PAD (12/21/20 arterial duplex scan identified PAD, moderate to severe
arterial occlusion [partial or complete blockage of blood flow through an artery] in peripheral arterial
disease to lower extremities). The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [HHS], outlined
overlapping symptoms in the legs and feet of PAD included diminished or an absent pulse in the foot or
ankle, leg or foot that feels cool or cold to the touch compared to the other leg, discoloration, and slow
healing or non-healing sores (ulcers) on toes, feet, or legs. Limited arterial flow to the extremities can

care during his shift on the weekends, he was still responsible for implementing care to prevent skin
breakdown and assessing a resident if it was reported to him about a new or worsening skin issue during a
shower or incontinent care. LVN F said that he was familiar with Resident #1. LVN F said that Resident #1
was dependent with transfers, wheelchair bound, pleasant, needed blood sugars checked, and require
verbal cues for meals. LVN F said that he was last assigned to Resident #1 on 12/29/24 and performed an
assessment after an assisted fall to the floor. LVN F said that skin assessments for injuries were part of the
assessment, but he was unaware of any wound or skin issues. LVN F denied he performed a thorough
head-to-toe skin assessment on Resident #1 on or before 12/29/24, but the CNAs did not report any skin
issues. LVN F said if there were any new wounds or skin issues, he would document findings in the chart
and notify the treatment nurse.
During an interview on 01/04/25 at 3:43 PM, WCN B said that she was the weekend wound care nurse.
WCN B said that she performed the admission head to toe skin assessment on Resident #1 in November
2024. WCN B said that she did not observe any wounds and that Resident #1 did not have any skin issues.
WCN B stated in her own words that wounds were open areas that required treatment(s). WCN B said that
the residents' assigned nurses were responsible for weekly skin assessments. WCN B said that Resident
#1 was not followed for wound care or required treatments by the wound care nurse on the weekends.
WCN B said that interventions such as turning and repositioning every two hours, off-loading pressure
areas, and weekly skin assessments were in place to prevent skin breakdown for all residents. WCN B said
care plan interventions were determined by the WMD/WNP, DON, ADON, Weekday WCN, and
collaboration with direct care staff. WCN B emphasized that she was the weekend wound care nurse, and
the Monday through Friday wound care nurse [WCN C] would be the first contact about skin issues if
discovered during a weekly head to toe skin assessment or on a shower day. WCN B said that the weekday
wound care nurse would likely be aware of or notified about any skin changes to Resident #1. WCN B said
the CNAs were expected to inspect the residents' skin when assisting with showers, bed baths, incontinent
care and notify the nurse about any changes to the skin such as redness, abrasions, skin tear, scratches,
or any open area. The assigned nurse must notify the treatment nurse. The treatment nurse would notify the
doctor to discuss plan of care or treatment options. The floor nurses would contact the doctor if the
treatment nurse was not present. WCN B said that the DON and MDS nurse was responsible for the
development and updating resident care plans.
Observation of Resident #1 at the hospital on [DATE] at 9:37 AM revealed Resident #1 resting quietly in
bed in an optimal resting position and pressure areas offloaded. The hospital nurse and patient care
attendant repositioned Resident #1 to allow the Investigator to visually inspect Resident #1's lower
extremities. A blue/purple discoloration to the left lower extremity, dark spots on the top of the right toes, red
streaks and maroon irregular marks to the right hip were noted during visual observation.
During an interview on 01/05/25 at 9:45 AM, the hospital nurse said that Resident #1 admitted to the unit
with impaired skin integrity. The hospital nurse reviewed Resident #1's chart and stated that the impaired
skin areas were noted during assessment in the ED on 12/29/24.
During an interview and record review on 01/05/25 at 2:20 PM, the DON stated residents were assessed
on admission for altered skin integrity and to identify PU/PI. The DON said that every resident's skin was
assessed weekly and documented under the 'evaluations' section and on the TAR in the chart. The DON
stated additional documentation was not required unless there were new skin issues. The DON said that
she did not provide direct care to or assess Resident #1's skin but knew that Resident #1 did not present
with any wounds or skin issues on the buttocks, legs, or heels. The DON reviewed the weekly skin
assessments with the investigator and said that LVN E referenced the bruised elbow on

his weekly head to toe skin assessment dated [DATE]. The DON said that it was not necessary to
document the location of the same skin issue. The DON said that the treatment nurse (WCN C) completed
pressure ulcer evaluations for residents weekly along with the wound care provider. The DON could not
explain how Resident #1's impaired skin to the buttocks, sacrum, lower extremities were not identified. The
DON indicated the resident had transferred from the facility on 12/29/24 and it was likely the skin issues
occurred at the hospital. The DON said that the hospital follow-up clinical paperwork received on 01/02/25
only identified red marks to Resident #1's right hip. The DON said that the paperwork did not say anything
else about skin issues.
During a phone interview on 01/05/25 at 3:37 PM, LVN A stated he was the admitting nurse for Resident
#1. LVN A said that he noted and documented redness to Resident #1's buttocks. LVN A described the
redness as spread out and not directed in one place on Resident #1's buttocks and there no open areas.
LVN A could not recall assessment of Resident #1's lower extremities. LVN A said that the treatment nurse
followed up to conduct head to toe skin assessments on new admissions. LVN A said the primary nurse
assigned to a resident was responsible for completing the weekly head to toe skin assessment. LVN A said
when the weekly head to toe skin assessment was scheduled, it would show up on the TAR. LVN A said
that there were no treatment orders in place or head to toe assessments scheduled whenever he was
assigned to Resident #1.
An email communication with WNP H on 01/05/24 at 4:35 PM indicated Resident #1's skin was intact on
initial evaluation. There was a barrier cream ordered to apply to Resident #1's buttocks to protect from skin
breakdown. WNP H indicated that she performed a skin sweep on 11/22/24 of all residents in the facility. A
skin sweep was a comprehensive skin assessment to identify any changes in present wounds or
development of any new skin or wound issues. WNP H indicated notes were entered in the electronic health
record even if the resident presented with intact skin on assessment. WNP H was not notified by the facility
of any skin issues with Resident #1 after the skin sweep.
During an interview on 01/06/25 at 2:19 PM, the ADON said that she inspected Resident #1's skin
alongside the wound care nurse (WCN C) following Resident #1's admission to the facility. The ADON said
that Resident #1 presented with redness to the buttocks and no other skin issues. The ADON said that the
nurses completed a weekly head-to-toe assessment of the resident skin and documented their findings
even if the resident did not have any skin breakdown. The ADON also stated the CNAs observed for any
skin issues while bathing and dressing residents and should notify the nurse. The ADON said that she
conducted the weekly head to toe skin assessment prior to Resident #1 transferred to the hospital
(12/29/24). The ADON said that Resident #1's skin was intact, there were no wounds or skin issues, and
Resident #1's bottom was pearly white. The ADON said that she did not observe Resident #1's feet or toes
when she conducted the head-to-toe skin assessment because Resident #1 was in bed. The ADON said
that she did not recall seeing the red marks on Resident #1's right hip or right toe abrasions.
During an interview on 01/06/2025 4:16 PM, LVN E said that he was assigned to Resident #1 a couple of
times while she resided on his assigned Hall. LVN E recalled completing a weekly skin assessment on
Resident #1 that reflected Resident #1 had a wound or skin issues that were not new. LVN E stated that
Resident #1 had redness on her rear end and that he did not see any opened areas or anything. LVN E
said that he communicated with the CNAs to generously apply barrier cream to prevent skin breakdown.
LVN E described the discoloration on Resident #1's buttocks as a range of light to a dark redness. LVN E
said that he did not inform the treatment nurse about the redness. LVN E said that he did not catch the
bruise to Resident #1's elbow or discoloration to lower extremities.

During an interview and record review on 01/27/25 at 8:29 AM, the APMD indicated Resident #1 was
admitted to the SNF for rehabilitation level care that fostered recovery and the process of the resident
return to the community. The APMD stated Resident #1's comorbidities or chronic disease processes, such
as peripheral artery disease (PAD), were not treated during a short-term skilled/rehabilitative stay and
would be followed by the resident's PCP upon return to the community. The APMD stated if a resident
transferred to long term care internally, the facility would meet the medical and non-medical needs of
residents with a chronic illness or disability who cannot care for themselves for long periods. The APMD
indicated she was not informed and was unaware that Resident #1 had skin issues during inpatient stay at
SNF. The APMD stated residents with skin issues identified on admission to the SNF would be followed by
the wound care team that included the facility wound care nurse(s) and a third party wound physician as
needed. The APMD stated any skin changes discovered during Resident #1's stay associated with
peripheral artery disease, included discoloration, dryness, and shiny or smooth texture of the extremities,
would be reported to the wound care team for consultation and recommended treatment. The APMD said
that she had access to the hospital records and her review did not find documentation about sores on
Resident #1's toes or other documentation of skin concerns associated with PAD. The APMD was
redirected to the ED Hospitalist documentation in the hospital records that revealed documentation on
12/29/24 of impaired skin integrity to Resident #1's lower extremities and toe abrasions. The APMD
acknowledged the E.D. provider notes on 12/29/24 and 12/30/24 reflected Resident #1 had impaired skin
integrity.
During a follow up phone interview on 01/27/25 at 9:07 AM, WNP H stated she was not notified of any skin
issues by the facility wound care nurse or staff after her [WNP H] skin sweep conducted on 11/12/24. WNP
H stated she was not notified on or about 12/05/24 when documentation reflected Resident #1 had a skin
issue/wound that was not new. WNP H indicated discolorations of lower extremities could indicate arterial or
vascular concerns and the wound care provider must be notified for treatment options and further
recommendations. WNP H indicated a vascular physician would be consulted to address arterial or
vascular concerns of the extremities.
During an interview and record review on 01/27/25 at 9:51 AM, WCN C said that she was the wound care
nurse scheduled during the weekdays, Monday - Friday. WCN C said that there was a wound care nurse
scheduled on the weekends (WCN B). WCN C said that she was responsible for conducting the head-to-toe
skin assessment upon resident admission and provide scheduled wound care, and round with the wound
care physician. WCN C said that the resident's assigned charge nurse was responsible for completing the
weekly head-to-toe skin assessment and must notify the wound care nurses and DON of any discovered
skin changes or issues. WCN C said that she was not scheduled to work when Resident #1 admitted to the
facility and did not conduct the admission head-to-toe skin assessment. WCN C said that she was not
informed about any skin issues during Resident #1's stay at the facility or about history of peripheral arterial
disease (PAD). WCN C stated a resident with a history of PAD were at a high risk of developing foot sores
and ulcers. WCN C said that the nurses should assess for any discoloration of the lower extremities or
diminished pulses in the lower extremities during weekly skin assessments and must notify the attending
physician, consult the wound care physician, and document the temperature, color, and
palpable/diminished pulses of extremities. The WCN C said that she did not assess or follow residents for
skin issues after admission if she was not aware of any changes in skin condition.
During an interview on 01/27/25 at 2:00 PM, the hospital physician, MD K, stated he evaluated and
documented Resident #1's skin issues and verified Resident #1 presented to and admitted to the hospital
on [DATE] with abrasions to right toes. MD K said that the abrasions to the right toes were related to
Resident #1's history of Peripheral Arterial Disease that eventually led to

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and records review, the facility failed to ensure a resident did not develop pressure
ulcers/injuries (PU/PIs) unless clinically unavoidable and that the facility provided care and services
consistent with professional standards of practice to promote healing, prevent infection, and prevent new
pressure ulcers/injuries from developing for 1 (Resident #1) of 3 residents reviewed for pressure
ulcers/injuries.
Residents Affected - Some
1.
The facility failed to perform at least two weekly skin assessments for Resident #1 from the admission date
of 11/09/24. On 11/09/24, the admitting nurse [LVN A] observed redness to Resident #1's buttocks. A
record review of Resident #1's admission orders dated 11/08/24 sent by the discharging facility revealed
wound (11/05/24) - rash midline coccyx (3 days). The first weekly skin assessment was completed on
11/27/24 and thereafter reflected No skin issues or wounds, except on 12/13/24 when the weekly skin
assessment indicated Resident #1 currently had skin or wound issues that were present and not new. The
following weekly skin assessments indicated Resident #1 had no skin or wound issues.
2.
The facility failed to identify early signs of a pressure injury (localized damage to the skin and/or underlying
soft tissue usually over a bony prominence. A pressure injury will present as intact skin. The appearance
will vary depending on the stage and implement interventions to prevent a deep tissue pressure injury of
the sacral (at the bottom of the spine) region. Resident #1 transferred to the hospital on [DATE] after 10:00
PM. The hospital ED provider discovered impaired skin integrity of the bilateral (right and left sides)
buttocks and coccyx (the tailbone) area upon a brief visible inspection. On 01/01/25, Resident #1 was
diagnosed with a Pressure injury of deep tissue of sacral region (DTI pressure injuries look like a deep
bruise) and was found to have ischemic eschar (black necrotic tissue with a lack of blood flow and oxygen)
of the gluteal (muscle group that make up the buttocks) area after a wound consultation.
These failures placed residents with pressure wounds at an unnecessary risk of complications such as
pain, acquiring new wounds, worsening of existing wounds, and infection.
Findings included:
A record review of Resident #1's modified admission MDS assessment, dated 11/15/24, revealed a
78-years-old female, admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #1 had an initial diagnosis of metabolic
encephalopathy (an alteration in consciousness caused by diffuse or global brain dysfunction). Other
admission diagnoses included AKF (a sudden episode of kidney damage or kidney failure); E. coli (infection
commonly found in the lower intestine); and T2DM (a chronic condition characterized by insulin resistance
and high blood sugar levels). A BIMS score of 10 suggested Resident #1 had a moderate cognitive decline.
Resident #1's functional status required one-person substantial/maximal assistance with ADLs and
transfers. Resident #1 was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. Section M - Skin conditions of the
modified admission MDS assessment revealed Resident #1 did not have any unhealed PU/PI,

Record review of Resident #1's Discharge MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 did not
have one or more unhealed pressure ulcers/injuries.
Residents Affected - Some
Record review of Resident #1's comprehensive care plan [Date initiated: 11/11/24; Review Date: 12/02/24]
did not reflect a Focus problem for impaired skin integrity, risk of developing a pressure injury, or goals and
interventions in accordance with the resident's choices, including, to the extent possible, attempting to
improve or stabilize the skin integrity/tissue breakdown and to provide treatments. Resident #1's care plan
goals revealed Resident #1 would remain free from skin breakdown due to incontinence and brief use
related to functional bladder incontinence [Date initiated: 12/10/24] and would be free from skin tears and
maintain intact skin related to the potential for impairment of skin integrity - bruise to right elbow r/t fragile
skin [Date initiated: 12/06/24] through the review date (03/02/25). Interventions for the potential impairment
of skin integrity included weekly skin checks, notify MD/NP/PA/RP of impairments of skin integrity, and to
follow facility protocol for treatment of skin impairment.
A record review of Resident #1's transfer admission orders dated 11/08/24 sent by the discharging facility
(acute care hospital [admission: [DATE] - 11/08/24]) revealed:
Resume Calamine Topical. Apply to affected area three (3) times daily to buttocks.
Resume mineral oil-hydrophil ointment. Commonly known as: Aquaphor (used as a moisturizer to treat or
prevent dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin and minor skin irritations [such as diaper rash]) to buttocks for itching.

A review of Resident #1's hospital medical records (admission: [DATE]; discharged to Hospice: 01/07/25 at
7:52 PM) revealed Resident #1 arrived at the ED 12/29/24 at 10:40 PM and admitted inpatient 12/30/24 at
1:54 AM. The first ED provider notes dated 12/29/24 at 11:03 PM identified Resident #1's legs were slightly
mottled (patchy discoloration), abrasion-like spots on toes of right foot, no distal (position that is farther from
the center of the body or the point of attachment) pulses. The admission H & P summary entered by the
provider on 12/30/24 at 3:53 AM reflected altered skin integrity to Resident #1's buttocks - excoriation
(mechanical removal or rubbing of the skin's surface layer, resulting in superficial wounds or scratches) vs
abrasion (process of rubbing away the surface of something); skin dry and flaky; heels were boggy (deep
tissue injuries may be recognized as areas on the heel that are dark purple or reddish-purple in color,
boggy or firm and warmer or cooler to touch than surrounding tissue). On 01/01/25 at 10:00 AM, the wound
consultant identified the altered skin integrity to Resident #1's sacral area as an unstageable deep pressure
injury. Wounds identified: Rash midline coccyx; Abrasion right toes; and Pressure injury sacrum (01/01/25)
found to have ischemic eschar (a thick, dry, and dark crust that forms over a wound due to a reduced blood
flow to a part of the body) of the gluteal area.
During an interview on 01/04/25 at 1:38 PM, LVN F indicated he worked weekend doubles, 6A - 2P and 2P
- 10P, Saturday and Sunday. LVN F said that weekly head-to-toe skin assessments were primarily
performed throughout the week. LVN F said that he rarely did weekly head-to-toe skin assessments but
occasionally performed a head-to-toe skin assessment if he was assigned a new admission or as needed if
a resident sustained a fall/injury. LVN F said that although the treatment nurse provided wound care during
his shift on the weekends, he was still responsible for implementing care to prevent skin breakdown and
assessing a resident if it was reported to him about a new or worsening skin issue during a shower or
incontinent care. LVN F said that he was familiar with Resident #1. LVN F said that Resident #1 was
dependent with transfers, wheelchair bound, pleasant, needed blood sugars checked, and require verbal
cues for meals. LVN F said that Resident #1 did not like to get out of bed, but the family member wanted
Resident #1 to get up from bed. LVN F said that he was last assigned to Resident #1 on 12/29/24 and
performed an assessment after an assisted fall to the floor. LVN F said that skin assessments for injuries
were part of the assessment, but he was unaware of any wound or skin issues. LVN F denied he performed
a thorough head-to-toe skin assessment on Resident #1 on or before 12/29/24, but the CNAs did not report
any skin issues. LVN F said if there were any new wounds or skin issues, he would document findings in
the chart and notify the treatment nurse.
During an interview on 01/04/25 at 3:15 PM, CNA G said that she was familiar with Resident #1 and her
care needs. CNA G said that Resident #1 required 1-person physical assistance with ADLs, required 1- to
2-person assistance with transfers, was wheelchair bound, and sometimes ate in the dining room. CNA G
said that she assisted with direct care to Resident #1 for a short time when Resident #1 was assigned to
her hall. CNA G said that Resident #1 moved back and forth between two halls (CNA I

was the regular staff on the opposite hall of CNA G). CNA G said that she did not recall an open wound to
Resident #1's bottom or any redness. CNA G said that she applied barrier cream to Resident #1's buttocks
after changing the brief to protect skin when soiled and prevent breakdown of skin. CNA G said that she
tried to check on residents every two hours or more frequently if a resident required incontinent care often.
CNA G said that she would report to the nurse immediately after provided care to the resident and ensured
was safe if discovered a skin tear, redness, a rash, or if a dressing was soiled or came off.
During an interview on 01/04/25 at 3:43 PM, WCN B said that she was the weekend wound care nurse.
WCN B said that the facility policy and procedures for PU/PI prevention included turning and repositioning
every two hours, pressure reduction devices, a low air loss mattress based on the wound stage, and barrier
cream. WCN B said that the ADON(s) and WCN(s) were responsible for ordering pressure relieving devices
and to ensure devices were in place. WCN B said that she coordinated with all direct care staff and
conducted daily rounds to ensure care was provided and low air loss mattresses were functioning properly.
WCN B said that she performed the admission head to toe skin assessment on Resident #1 in November
2024. WCN B said that she did not observe any wounds and that Resident #1 did not have any skin issues.
WCN B stated in her own words that wounds were open areas that required treatment(s). WCN B said that
the residents' assigned nurses were responsible for weekly skin assessments. WCN B said that Resident
#1 was not followed for wound care or required treatments by the wound care nurse on the weekends.
WCN B said that interventions such as turning and repositioning every two hours, off-loading pressure
areas, and weekly skin assessments were in place to prevent skin breakdown for all residents. WCN B said
care plan interventions were determined by the WMD/WNP, DON, ADON, Weekday WCN, and
collaboration with direct care staff. WCN B emphasized that she was the weekend wound care nurse, and
the Monday through Friday wound care nurse [WCN C] would be the first contact about skin issues if
discovered during a weekly head to toe skin assessment or on a shower day. WCN B said that the weekday
wound care nurse would likely be aware of or notified about any skin changes to Resident #1. WCN B said
the CNAs were expected to inspect the residents' skin when assisting with showers, bed baths, incontinent
care and notify the nurse about any changes to the skin such as redness, abrasions, skin tear, scratches,
or any open area. The assigned nurse must notify the treatment nurse. The treatment nurse would notify the
doctor to discuss plan of care or treatment options. The floor nurses would contact the doctor if the
treatment nurse was not present. WCN B said that the DON and MDS nurse was responsible for the
development and updating resident care plans.
Observation of Resident #1 at the hospital on [DATE] at 9:37 AM revealed Resident #1 resting quietly in
bed in an optimal resting position and pressure areas offloaded. The hospital nurse and patient care
attendant repositioned Resident #1 to allow the Investigator to visually inspect Resident #1's backside.
Resident #1's buttocks revealed intact skin with an irregularly shaped localized area of deep red, maroon,
purple discoloration. Some chafing, skin peeling, and shearing was noted to the buttocks and groin area
upon visual inspection. The sacral area revealed dry, brown, or black, raised areas at the upper border of
the impaired skin area. The surrounding skin appeared blue/purple to red color. A blue/purple discoloration
to the left lower extremity, dark spots on the top of the right toes, red streaks and maroon irregular marks to
the right hip was also noted during visual observation.
During an interview on 01/05/25 at 9:45 AM, the hospital nurse said that Resident #1 admitted to the unit
with impaired skin integrity. The hospital nurse reviewed Resident #1's chart and stated that the impaired
skin areas were noted during assessment in the E.D. on 12/29/24.

assessed on admission for altered skin integrity and to identify PU/PI. The DON said that every resident's
skin was assessed weekly and documented under the 'evaluations' section and on the TAR in the chart.
The DON stated additional documentation was not required unless there were new skin issues. The DON
said that she did not provide direct care to or assess Resident #1's skin but knew that Resident #1 did not
present with any wounds or skin issues on the buttocks. The DON reviewed the weekly skin assessments
with the investigator and said that LVN E referenced the bruised elbow on his weekly head to toe skin
assessment dated [DATE]. The DON said that it was not necessary to document the location of the same
skin issue. The DON said that the treatment nurse (WCN C) completed pressure ulcer evaluations for
residents weekly along with the wound care provider. The DON could not explain how Resident #1's
impaired skin to the buttocks, sacrum, lower extremities were not identified. The DON indicated the resident
had transferred from the facility on 12/29/24 and it was likely the skin issues occurred at the hospital. The
DON said that the hospital follow-up clinical paperwork received on 01/02/25 only identified red marks to
Resident #1's right hip. The DON said that the paperwork did not say anything else about skin issues.
During a phone interview on 01/05/25 at 3:37 PM, LVN A stated he was the admitting nurse for Resident
#1. LVN A said that he noted and documented redness to Resident #1's buttocks. LVN A described the
redness as spread out and not directed in one place on Resident #1's buttocks and there no open areas.
LVN A could not recall assessment of Resident #1's lower extremities. LVN A said that the treatment nurse
followed up to conduct head to toe skin assessments on new admissions. LVN A said the primary nurse
assigned to a resident was responsible for completing the weekly head to toe skin assessment. LVN A said
when the weekly head to toe skin assessment was scheduled, it would show up on the TAR. LVN A said
that there were no treatment orders in place or head to toe assessments scheduled whenever he was
assigned to Resident #1.
An email communication with WNP H, a 3rd party wound consultant, on 01/05/24 at 4:35 PM indicated
Resident #1's skin was intact on initial evaluation. There was a barrier cream ordered to apply to Resident
#1's buttocks to protect from skin breakdown. WNP H indicated that she performed a skin sweep on
11/22/24 of all residents in the facility. A skin sweep was a comprehensive skin assessment to identify any
changes in present wounds or development of any new skin or wound issues. WNP H indicated notes were
entered in the electronic health record even if the resident presented with intact skin on assessment. WNP
H was not notified by the facility of any skin issues with Resident #1 after the skin sweep. Redness to the
resident's skin that was often moist with urine and soiled could quickly evolve to impaired skin issues
(pressure injuries - unstageable, stage 3 or stage 4) that appeared as a darker red and remain intact and
should be reported to the wound care nurse and/or wound care physician.
During an interview on 01/06/25 at 2:19 PM, the ADON said that she inspected Resident #1's skin
alongside the wound care nurse (WCN C) following Resident #1's admission to the facility. The ADON said
that Resident #1 presented with redness to the buttocks. The ADON described the redness in her own
words as MASD (moisture-associated skin damage), a widely spread red, irregular shaped raised
reddened dots. The ADON said barrier cream was applied to Resident #1's bottom after incontinent care.
The ADON said that the area was healed before Resident #1 transferred to another hall within the facility.
The ADON denied she provided direct care or conducted a skin assessment to ensure the area was
healed. The ADON said that it was possible for an incontinent resident to be at an increased risk for
pressure injuries who were exposed to moisture from urine or feces. The ADON said that the nurses were
to complete a weekly head-to-toe assessment of the resident skin weekly and document their findings even
if the resident did not have any skin breakdown. The ADON also stated the CNAs observed for any skin
issues while bathing and dressing residents and should notify the nurse. The ADON said

Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 01/06/2025 4:16 PM, LVN E said that he was assigned to Resident #1 a couple of
times while she resided on his assigned Hall. LVN E recalled completing a weekly skin assessment on
Resident #1 that reflected Resident #1 had a wound or skin issues that were not new. LVN E stated that
Resident #1 had redness on her rear end and that he did not see any opened areas or anything. LVN E
said that he did not catch the bruise to Resident #1's elbow or discoloration to lower extremities. LVN E said
that he communicated with the CNAs to generously apply barrier cream to prevent skin breakdown. LVN E
described the discoloration on Resident #1's buttocks as a range of light to a dark redness. LVN E said that
he did not inform the treatment nurse about the redness.
During an interview and record review on 01/27/25 at 8:29 AM, the APMD stated residents with skin issues
identified on admission to the SNF would be followed by the wound care team that included the facility
wound care nurse(s) and a third party wound physician as needed. The APMD indicated she was not
informed and was unaware that Resident #1 had skin issues during inpatient stay at SNF. The APMD said
that she spoke with the SNF leadership and had access to the hospital documentation that did not
reference a deep tissue injury of the sacrum until 01/03/25. The APMD was redirected to the E.D.
Hospitalist documentation in the hospital records revealed documentation on 12/29/24 and 12/30/24 of
impaired skin integrity to Resident #1's buttocks, heel(s), and toe abrasions. The APMD acknowledged the
E.D. provider notes on 12/29/24 and 12/30/24 reflected impaired skin integrity.
During a follow up phone interview on 01/27/25 at 9:07 AM, WNP H stated she was not notified of any skin
issues by the facility wound care nurse or staff after her [WNP H] skin sweep conducted on 11/12/24. WNP
H stated any redness that was not relieved by repositioning or improved with barrier cream should be
assessed by the wound care nurse and the PCP or Wound Care Provider must be notified. WNP H
explained blanchable redness referred to a rash or skin condition that turned white when pressure was
applied and returned to its original color. WNP H said that blanching redness was less serious than
non-blanchable redness that would suggest damage of underlying soft tissue and the likelihood of the onset
of a Stage 1 pressure injury. WNP H stated she was not notified on or about 12/05/24 when LVN E
documented Resident #1 had a skin issue/wound that was not new.
During an interview and record review on 01/27/25 at 9:51 AM, WCN C said that she was the wound care
nurse scheduled during the weekdays, Monday - Friday. WCN C said that there was a wound care nurse
scheduled on the weekends (WCN B). WCN C said that she was responsible for conducting the head-to-toe
skin assessment upon resident admission and provide scheduled wound care, and round with the wound
care physician. WCN C said that the resident's assigned charge nurse was responsible for completing the
weekly head-to-toe skin assessment and must notify the wound care nurses and DON of any discovered
skin changes or issues. WCN C said that she was not scheduled to work when Resident #1 admitted to the
facility and did not conduct the admission head-to-toe skin assessment. WCN C said that she was not
notified about any redness to Resident #1's sacrum noted at admission or about the skin issue reflected on
a weekly skin assessment dated [DATE] by LVN E. WCN C said that she was not informed about any skin
issues during Resident #1's stay at the facility. WCN C stated any discoloration of the lower extremities or
diminished pulses in the lower extremities should have been monitored by the nurses, physician notified,
wound care physician consulted, and documentation should reflect the temperature, color, and
