**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to consult with the physician when the resident
experienced a change in condition for 3 of 4 residents (Resident's #11, #12, and #13) reviewed for a
change of condition.1. The facility failed to notify the wound care physician to obtain and implement wound
care orders for Resident #11 until 10/20/25, 2 days after identifying unstageable pressure injury (a
full-thickness tissue loss where the base of the ulcer is covered by slough or eschar, making it impossible to
determine the depth of the wound) to right heel on 10/18/25.The facility failed to contact surgeon or wound
care physician to obtain wound care orders for Resident #11 on 11/3/25 after debridement of pressure ulcer
(the medical process of removing necrotic (dead) tissue from a wound) in surgeon's office on 11/3/25. 2.
The facility failed to obtain and implement wound care orders for Resident #12 until 10/19/25 after
admission on [DATE]. Resident was admitted with bilateral stage 4 pressure injuries (the most severe form
of pressure ulcers. Deep, open wounds that extend through the skin and underlying tissues, potentially
exposing muscle, tendons, or bone) to heels.3. The facility failed to monitor, and report wound status to
wound care physician for Resident #13.An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 11/11/25 at 10:57 am.
The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 11:04 am. While the IJ was removed on 11/12/25
at 6:34 pm, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of pattern and a severity level of no actual
harm due to the facility's need to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the plan of removal and
corrective actions.These failures could place residents at risk for developing new pressure injuries,
infections, decreased quality of life, and death.Findings included:1. Record review of a face sheet dated
11/10/25 for Resident #11 indicated she was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including: pneumonia (an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs), dementia (a
disease that affects memory, thinking, and the ability to perform daily activities), and nondisplaced fracture
of first metatarsal bone (fracture of the big toe), right foot. Record review of a Medicare 5-day MDS
assessment dated [DATE] for Resident #11 indicated a BIMS score of 15 indicating she was cognitively
intact. She required moderate to maximum assistance with most ADLs. She was not coded for pressure
ulcers.Record review of a comprehensive care plan dated 9/9/25 for Resident #11 indicated she had
potential for alteration in skin integrity due to impaired mobility and had an intervention to inspect skin from
head to toe no less than once per week and document/measure all abnormal findings. She also had an
intervention to inform physician, family, dietician, and director of nursing of any new skin breakdown.Record
review of an electronic health record for Resident #11 on 11/10/25 indicated there were no skin
assessments completed between the dates of 9/2/25 and 9/15/25 and no skin assessments documented
between the dates of 10/18/25 to 11/10/25. There was no physician's order for skin assessments.Record

#11 said she had been at the facility for approximately 6 weeks and was at home prior to being admitted to
the facility. She said she had gone to the hospital with a broken foot and had a wound to her right heel. She
said the wound to her heel had not been covered by a dressing in the last 3 days. She said prior to that they
were putting a bandage on her heel and keeping it on for a week and it was supposed to be changed 3
times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. She said she guessed the staff were just lazy. She
said the wound had not been infected that she was aware of and had not said anything about wound care
not being done as ordered. Resident #11 removed her sock from her right foot and showed this Surveyor
her heel-area noted with slough present with a small amount of eschar in the wound bed. She said it had
not been changed in 3 days. She said she was not refusing any care from the staff. She said it had been a
while since she saw the wound care physician and the last time she saw him he did not look at her wound
because it had a bandage on it. She said the wound did not hurt.During an interview on 11/10/25 at 10:12
am the ADON said if staff found new skin issues, they should be reporting to the nurse, and they let her
(ADON) know as well. She said if the doctor did not give new orders, then staff would not write a progress
note. She said nurses should have completed skin evaluations and assessments. She said there had been
a huge problem with the nurses doing their assessments and evaluations. She said there was no one in the
facility holding staff accountable to make sure things were done. She said they had even contacted staff to
come in to complete their evaluations on their days off. She said the facility has had a problem for a long
time with nurse administration not following through and not holding staff accountable for things that were
not done. She said the facility did not have a treatment nurse and the nurses were responsible for
completing the skin assessments and wound care in the facility. During a telephone interview on
11/11/2025 at 9:15 am the Wound Physician said he would visit the facility every 2 weeks and had been
visiting the facility for the past 5 years. He said he only saw residents who had wounds, and his last visit
was on 11/3/2025. He said usually a floor nurse would follow him. He said Resident #11 was last seen on
10/20/2025 and she had a wound to her right heel that was pressure ulcer-unstageable with dry eschar
about the size of a quarter.

Treatment orders were for skin prep and float heels. He said if a resident refused treatment, the nurses
would document the refusal as he did not document anything on his notes. He said when he visited, he
assessed the wounds, measured, debrided and provided recommendations. He said sometimes the
wounds would deteriorate if the residents were noncompliant. He said he had not been notified within the
past 2-3 months of any residents in the facility with a deterioration of wounds. He said the best person to
talk to would be the nurses. He said he visited every other Monday and would be back in the facility on
11/17/2025.During a telephone interview on 11/11/2025 at 9:34 am LVN L said the facility did not have a
treatment nurse in the facility, and the nurses were responsible for completing skin assessments daily and
wound care. She said they have a schedule at the nurse's desk in a binder. She said with new admissions,
she would assess the residents and conduct skin assessments. She said if a resident had a wound on
admission, the nurse would measure the wounds, and when the wound care physician comes the wounds,
he would also measure the wounds. She said she was not measuring the wounds daily nor weekly. She
said if it looked like a wound was getting worse, she would measure it. She said the wound care was
supposed to be done during the day, but sometimes wound care did not get done during the day shift and
the night shift would sometimes complete the ones that she was not able to complete. She said if she
noticed that a wound had worsened, she would notify the resident's primary medical doctor or the ADON
because they do not have access to contact the wound physician. She said she had never seen him on her
rotation. She said sometimes she was aware he had been there, and the residents would tell her if they had
any new orders. She said she would then go and look to see if there were any new orders in the charting
system. She said when a resident goes out to the hospital and then returns, the nurses were supposed to
notify the Administrator, DON or ADON, medical doctor or family/RP of any new orders and changes in
care. She said residents could be at risk of infection, and sepsis if they were not getting wound care as
ordered or skin assessments are not done weekly.Record review of a facility policy titled Change in a
Resident's Condition or Status dated March 2022 read: .Our facility promptly notifies the resident, his or her
attending physician, and the resident representative of changes in the resident's medical/mental condition
and/or status. This was determined to be an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 11/11/2025 at 10:57 am. The
facility's Administrator, DON, ADON, MDS, and Regional Director of Clinical Operations were notified. The
Administrator was provided with the IJ template on 11/11/2025 at 11:04 am. The following Plan of Removal

Residents Affected - Some
consulting wound care physician the family and attending physician would like to use moving forward as
they cannot both treat/bill for the resident. The resident representative was contacted by the Assistant
Director of Nursing and informed of the debridement, deterioration of the wound, and inquired which
consulting wound physician she would prefer to use for the pressure area to the left heel. The resident
representative prefers to use the consulting wound care physician that comes to the facility. Regarding
Resident #12: The wound care consulting physician was contacted by the Corporate Director of Clinical
Operations on 11/12/25 at 11:15 am to inform of the most recent measurements and wound condition, no
new orders were given. Regarding Resident #13: wound measurements and condition were compared to
the most previous wound assessment with noted increase in size from previous observation. On 11/3/25
the wound measurements were 1.0 X 1.0 X 0.2 with 76-100% granulation and the measurements for
11/11/25 were 1.2 X 1.2 with 70% slough. The wound care consulting physician was notified by the MDS
coordinator on 11/11/25 with no new orders received and he stated the wound was unavoidable related to
residents' persistent position of right side lying. The resident representative was notified by the MDS
Coordinator. On 11/11/25, the nursing administration team (Director of Nursing, Assistant Director of
Nursing, and MDS Coordinator), with the assistance of the Corporate Director of Clinical Operations and
the Assistant Director of Clinical Operations will compare all measurements and wound condition
observations to the previous measurement/condition to ensure any area of deterioration/worsening are
immediately reported to the Wound Care Physician and the resident's attending physician regarding wound
care deterioration/worsening. On 11/11/25, all nurses present at the time of notification of the alleged
deficient practice will be re-educated in the form of an in-service from the Assistant Director of Nursing
regarding when to report skin issues to the provider vs. the wound care consulting physician, how to
document physician communication regarding wound care and how to contact the wound care consulting
physician. This in-service will continue until all nurses have been in-serviced and all nurses will receive
re-education prior to beginning their next scheduled shift. Beginning 11/11/25 the Director of Nursing and
the Facility Administrator will review the 24-hour report each day to ensure a progress note is written when
the wound care physician visits each resident and when the wound care physician is contacted to update
with changes in wound condition. All nurses on staff at the time of notification on 11/11/25 were provided
with education by the administrative nursing team regarding the completion of the Skin Issues evaluation
when a new wound is discovered or when a resident is admitted with a wound, to notify the Director of
Nurses and Facility Administrator, to notify the attending physician and/or the consulting wound care
physician to obtain treatment orders and begin treatment orders immediately upon receipt, to make a
notation on the 24-hour report of the new wound and to inform the Certified Nurse Aides of the residents

11/5/2025 at 8:32 AM, LVN L said she worked on Halloween 10/31/2025. She said she was informed during
report from the night nurse on 10/30/2025 that Resident #1 had a fall on Thursday 10/30/2025 during the
day shift and that they needed to do an incident report and documentation. She said at breakfast on
10/31/2025, Resident #1 was groggy (sleepy) and had a huge abrasion to her forehead. She said the DON
was informed and she notified the doctor and sent a picture to him, and she needed to send Resident #1 to
the ER. She said she received orders and the doctor asked if it was such a bad fall, why was Resident #1
not sent out the day of the fall. She said she started neuros and checked Resident #1's blood pressure
which was elevated along with her pupils being sluggish. She said she notified Resident #1's RP and the
resident did not leave the facility until around 1 pm because EMS did not have any emergent vehicles for
transport. She said she contacted another EMS for transport. She said RN A was the nurse who worked the
day before (10/30/2025). She said she told the DON that Resident #1 was not acting like herself. She said
when a resident had a fall, the nurse was supposed to assess them to see if they were safe to get up,
obtain vitals and neuros, if necessary, and notify the doctor and family. She said if a resident hit their head,
they normally would send the residents out for evaluation at the ER. She said residents could be at risk for
injuries that might be untreated like death or brain bleeds if they were not assessed properly and timely.
She said she had been trained on notifying the family and doctor, was told to not allow the nurse aides to
get a resident off the floor until the nurse completed an assessment. She said proper notification would be
needed and neuros needed to be started if a resident hit their head or it was an unwitnessed fall. She said
nursing staff should complete a progress note and a fall risk management (incident report). During a phone
interview on 11/5/2025 at 9:01 AM, RN A said she had been employed at the facility for 6 months and
worked 6 am-6 pm and would work other shits at times. She said the last day she worked was on Thursday
10/30/2025. She said she was suspended pending an investigation with Resident #1. She said on
10/30/2025 at around 5 pm, she was at the nurse's desk, and the Activity Director informed her another
resident having chest pain, and the resident was not assigned to her, but she was the only nurse around at
that time. She said at the same time, CNA B told her that Resident #1 had a cut on her head and informed
her it was ok,so they put a bandage on it until she could check Resident #1 and Resident #1 was in bed.
She said when she went into the room to assess Resident #1, who was in bed, and Resident #1 said she
was not sure how she injured herself. She said CNA B and CNA C were the nurse aides assigned to the
hall where Resident #1 resided. She said both CNA B and CNA C told her they found Resident #1 on the
floor. She said she thought Resident #1 tried to self-transfer and must have fallen. She said she checked
Resident #1 from head to toe, and Resident #1 had an abrasion to her head, she conducted neuros and
her vital signs were fine. She said Resident #1 told her she did not fall, but the resident had dementia. She
said around 5:10 pm was the first time she saw Resident #1 and she checked neuros, and all the
information was written down in her spiral because it was almost time for her to get off at 6 pm. She said
she made herself a note to complete an incident report. She said she removed the steri strips from
Resident #1's forehead and cleaned her head that had dried blood that measured 1 cm x 0.5 cm skin tear
and placed a bandage on her head. She said the resident did not have any protrusions (sticking out) or a
hematoma (a collection of blood outside of a blood vessel). She said Resident #1 was fine, and she gave
report to the night shift nurse and informed her that Resident #1 had a skin tear on her forehead, and the
oncoming nurse needed to complete an incident report. She said she did not document it on the 24-hour
report, but had the information in her spiral book. She said she asked the Administrator if she could come in
to work on 10/31/2025 to complete paperwork and was contacted before noon on 10/31/2025 to inform her
that she was suspended.

AM, CNA C said she had been employed at the facility since October 2025 and worked 6 am-6 pm and
usually worked on hall 100 where Resident #1 resided. She said Resident #1 slouches down in her
wheelchair sometimes and the staff have to pull her up but has never fallen out. She said on 10/31/2025
around 1 pm or 2 pm after lunch, CNA B pushed Resident #1 back to her room after lunch and was about
to start a round with performing incontinent care. She said CNA B left Resident #1 in her room and
gathered supplies. She said another resident called out down the hall and she went to see what happened
with that resident. When CNA B entered Resident #1's room, the resident was on the floor and she heard
her say oh no, she's on the floor. She said she ran to the room of Resident #1 and Resident 1#'s wheelchair
was locked sitting by the bed, and when she fell, she either hit the chair or the trashcan, and she was
bleeding from the middle of her forehead and asked Resident #1 who said she hit the chair. She said she
was lying on the left side and was in between the trash can and the chair. She said they both (CNA B and
CNA C) went and told RN A who was at the nurse station and were told she was handling another resident
who was having chest pain. She said RN A told them to pick Resident #1 up and put her to bed, and she
would check on her in a little bit. She said she asked RN A what to do about Resident #1's bleeding head,
and RN A told her she would be there in a minute. She said she told CNA B that RN A told her to pick
Resident #1 up and put her to bed, so they put her back to bed, covered her up and about an 1 and a half
hour passed and RN A still had not entered the room to check on Resident #1. She said Resident #1's
head was still bleeding, and RN A had not come back fast enough. She said she performed incontinent
care for three residents and RN A still had not entered the room. She said the DON and ADON were both
at work on 10/31/2025 and she did not want to go above RN A to report anything. She said she told RN A a
second time that Resident #1's head was still bleeding and told RN A that she was going to get some
supplies to cover Resident #1's head. CNA C said she entered the room, cleaned the wound, and placed
steri strips on the open area that was about a nickel size. She said she looked down the hall and RN A was
still at the nurse's desk and the resident she helped was gone to the ER. She said she never saw RN A go
in the room to check on Resident #1. She said later she saw Resident #1 had a bandage that was on her
forehead that was not completely attached around 5:30 pm. She said RN A later told her that the resident
did not have a fall. She said they got off at 6 pm and told the night shift nurse aides that Resident #1 had a
fall and the nurse (RN A) did not do anything about it, and she was complaining about being dizzy and her
head was hurting. She said Resident #1 was not given any medication for her head, which she was aware.
She said she worked the next day 10/31/2025, and someone was asking about what happened to Resident
1's head. She said the Administrator was made aware that Resident #1 had a fall on 10/30/2025, and she
had to write a witness statement. She said if a resident was found on the floor, they were to notify the
nurse, whoever was in charge, not move them, and wait for the nurse to evaluate the resident and check
them. She said on Friday 10/31/2025, LVN L assessed Resident #1 on the day shift.During an interview on
11/5/2025 at 10:43 AM, CNA B said she had been employed at the facility since August 2025 and worked
the day shift from 6 am-6 pm. She said Resident #1 was on the hall she was assigned that day 10/30/2025.
She said she worked on 10/30/2025 and Resident #1 was fine that

Residents Affected - Some
day, after lunch she was in her room ready to lie down and stepped out to get linens. She said she heard a
loud bump, thought it was Resident #1, so she ran into her room and she was on the floor and it was
sometime after lunch around 1:30 PM or so. She said there was a chair that was parallel to her bed, and
she fell out of her wheelchair, and it looked like she hit the chair. She said she and CNA C entered the
room, she told CNA C to get RN A, and CNA C came back and told her to put Resident #1 back to bed.
She said they put her in bed knowing that they should not have, and thought RN A was coming and asked
CNA C if she told RN A Resident #1 was bleeding from her head. She said it was a cut to her forehead.
She said after they put Resident #1 in bed, they tried to clean her head, changed her, told RN A twice. She
said the second time RN A was informed was after the dinner trays had been passed out (around 5 pm),
RN A entered the room with her and that's when RN A assessed Resident #1. She said RN A took
Resident #1's vital signs and provided treatment for her forehead. She said CNA C reported the fall to the
night shift nurse aides. She said Resident #1 was her normal self and not complaining of any dizziness or
headaches at that time. She said the Administrator contacted her on 10/31/2025 and asked about the
incident. She said she was told to not move a resident, and they could not pick a resident off the floor until
they had been assessed. She said she did not know that before and thought that the nurse should have
come in to assess the resident immediately. She said they had an in-service on falls, who to report to, and
not to pick them up until the nurse assessed the resident. During an observation and interview on
11/5/2025 at 12:37 PM, Resident #1 was in her room sitting up in bed awake eating her lunch. Resident #1
had a scab noted to her forehead with a wheelchair in her room with her bed in a low position. Resident #1
was alert to person with confusion noted.During a phone interview on 11/6/2025 at 9:27 AM, the Physician
said he visited the facility once a week on Tuesdays and more often if needed. He said Resident #1 was
one of his residents who had some intermittent times around September 2025 with her dementia getting
worse. He said she had a history of falls; repeated falls most of the time when she tried to transfer herself.
He said he was notified about a fall the morning after (10/31/2025) the nurse was still concerned that
Resident #1 was dizzy and was asked by the facility about sending Resident #1 to the ER. He said the
facility notified him about falls, and he would have told them to continue to monitor Resident #1 and let him
know if anything was abnormal. He said they told him that Resident #1 possibly hit her head, and she had
an abrasion. He said they sent him a photo image and reported Resident #1 complained of dizziness. He
said Resident #1 was not taking any blood thinners which would increase her risk of bleeding. He said
Resident #1 was sent to the ER for evaluation, but did not sustain any fractures; only a laceration to her
forehead from the fall. During an observation and interview on 11/6/2025 at 11:42 AM, Resident #7 was in
her room sitting on her rollator walker by the window. She was alert to person, place, and time. She said
there had been a problem with ants in her room for a long time. She said she had some bites on her back
not long ago from ants a few weeks ago. She said the ants were in her bed and everyone in the facility was
aware. She said pest control came to the facility and treated her room. She said she had not seen any more
since then. She said they treated her for the ant bites, and she was not allergic.During an observation and
interview on 11/6/2025 at 11:55 AM, Resident #15 was sitting in a wheelchair in the dining room alert to
person only. When asked if he had been bitten by ants, he said he had been in his bedroom on his body. He
said he saw them in his room all the time.During an observation and interview on 11/6/2025 at 11:57 AM,
Resident #14 was sitting on his walker in the dining room. He was alert to person, place, time, and
situation. He said he had been at the facility since December 2024. He said he had ants in his room not
long ago and was bitten by them in his bed. He said he had not seen any since then. He said the facility
treated his ant

bites, he was not allergic to the ants, and he did not like being bitten.During an interview on 11/10/2025 at
9:33 AM, CNA G said she was one of the shower techs for the facility and she worked Monday-Friday
giving showers for the residents in the facility. She observed the shower sheets for Resident #7, #14 and
#15 from October 2025. She said she signed the sheets and notified the ADON and the nurse for the
residents and just verbalized what she observed on those days with the ant bites. She said either the
ADON, or the nurse would go and check the resident's skin to see if it needed any medications or not. She
said she saw the staff go into the room, but was not sure what they did. She said she did not see any ants
in Resident #7's room. She said Resident #14 had ant bites and she reported them to the nurse. She said
she saw someone from pest control came out to the facility and treat the rooms. She said she had not seen
any more residents with ant bites since October 2025. During an interview on 11/10/2025 at 10:12 AM, the
ADON said if staff found new skin issues, they should report them to the nurse, and they notified her as
well. She said the staff were also to notify the physician and if the physician did not give orders, then staff
would not write a progress note. She said nurses should have completed skin evaluations and
assessments, and there was a huge problem with the nurse not doing those evaluations. She said the
nurses were responsible for conducting skin evaluations weekly and as needed. She said there was no one
in the facility to hold staff accountable to make sure things were being done. She said they had contacted
staff, before, to come into the facility to complete their evaluations on their days off. She said the facility had
a problem for a long time with nurse administration not following through and not holding staff accountable
for things that were not done. During an interview on 11/12/25 at 12:40 pm, LVN Q said she had been
working at the facility since April 2025 as a charge nurse. She said skin assessments were to be completed
at least weekly on all residents, and were the responsibility of the charge nurse. She said if a CNA reported
any skin issues to the charge nurse, the charge nurse should immediately do a thorough assessment and
document any findings. She said if any issues were identified during this assessment, the physician should
be notified for any new orders, along with the DON, Administrator, and Responsible Party or family
member. She said if this was not done appropriately, further skin breakdown could occur.During an
interview on 11/12/2025 at 5:24 PM, the Administrator said if a resident had a fall, the staff should notify the
nurse and should evaluate the resident. She said the nurse should start a risk management assessment,
check vital signs, and initiate neuros. She said all unwitnessed falls have a protocol in place to start neuros,
notify RPs, the physician, and facility management. She said residents could be at risk of an adverse event.
She said at no time should a resident be picked up off the floor without an assessment. She said RN A was
terminated. She said skin assessments were the responsibility of the nurses and should be conducted
weekly. She said if staff observed any skin issues, they were to report immediately to the charge nurse and
then the charge nurse was to complete a head-to-toe assessment to determine best course of action and
notify the physician and RPs. Record review of a termination form for RN A signed and dated 11/8/2025 by
the Administrator indicated she was terminated for failing to properly assess, evaluate, or treat timely to a
resident that had a fall with injury. Record review of the facility's policy titled Assessing Falls and Their
Causes revised March 2018 indicated, .The purposes of this procedure are to provide guidelines for
assessing a resident after a fall and to assist staff in identifying causes of the fall. After a fall: 1. If a resident
has just fallen, or is found on the floor without a witness to the event, evaluate for possible injuries to the
head, neck, spine, and extremities. 2. Obtain and record vitals as soon as it is safe to do so. If the fall is
unwitnessed (resident found in floor) or the fall is witnessed and the resident was known to hit their head,
neuro vital signs will be initiated and carried out per

10:12 am the ADON said if staff found new skin issues, they should be reporting to the nurse, and they let
her (ADON) know as well. She said if the doctor did not give new orders, then staff would not write a
progress note. She said nurses should have completed skin evaluations and assessments. She said there
had been a huge problem with the nurses not doing their assessments and evaluations. She said there was
no one in the facility holding staff accountable to make sure things were done. She said they had even
contacted staff to come in to complete their evaluations on their days off. She said the facility has had a
problem for a long time with nurse administration not following through and not holding staff accountable for
things that were not done. She said the facility did not have a treatment nurse and the nurses were
responsible for completing the skin assessments and wound care in the facility. During a telephone
interview on 11/11/2025 at 9:15 am the Wound Physician said he would visit the facility every 2 weeks and
had been visiting the facility for the past 5 years. He said he only saw residents who had wounds, and his
last visit was on 11/3/2025. He said usually a floor nurse would follow him. He said Resident #11 was last
seen on 10/20/2025 and she had a wound to her right heel that was pressure ulcer-unstageable with dry
eschar about the size of a quarter. Treatment orders were for skin prep and float heels. He said if a resident
refused treatment, the nurses would document the refusal as he did not document anything on his notes.
He said when he visited, he assessed the wounds, measured, debrided and provided recommendations.
He said sometimes the wounds would deteriorate if the residents were noncompliant. He said he had not
been notified within the past 2-3 months of any residents in the facility with a deterioration of wounds. He
said if he was notified, the facility would notify the residents primary physician who would assess. He said
the best person to talk to would be the nurses. He said he visited every other Monday and would be back in
the facility on 11/17/2025.During a telephone interview on 11/11/2025 at 9:34 am LVN L said the facility did
not have a treatment nurse in the facility, and the nurses were responsible for completing skin assessments
daily and wound care. She said they have a schedule at the nurse's desk in a binder. She said with new
admissions, she would assess the residents and conduct skin assessments. She said if a resident had a
wound on admission, the nurse would measure the wounds, and when the wound care physician comes
the wounds, he would also measure the wounds. She said she was not measuring the wounds daily nor
weekly. She said if it looked like a wound was getting worse, she would measure it. She said the wound
care was supposed to be done during the day, but sometimes wound care did not get done during the day
shift and the night shift would sometimes complete the ones that she was not able to complete. She said if
she noticed that a wound had worsened, she would notify the resident's primary medical doctor or the
ADON because they do not have access to contact the wound physician. She said she had never seen him
on her rotation. She said sometimes she was aware he had been there, and the residents would tell her if
they had any new orders. She said she would then go and look to see if there were any new orders in the
charting system. She said when a resident goes out to the hospital and then returns, the nurses were
supposed to notify the Administrator, DON or ADON, medical doctor or family/RP of any new orders and
changes in care. She said residents could be at risk of infection, and sepsis if they are not getting wound
care as ordered or skin assessments are not done weekly.Record review of a facility policy titled Pressure
Injury Risk Assessment dated March 2020 read: .Notify attending MD if new skin alteration noted. Record
review of a facility policy titled Prevention of Pressure Injuries dated April 2020 read: .Evaluate, report, and
document potential changes in the skin. This was determined to be an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on
11/11/2025 at 10:57 am. The facility's Administrator, DON, ADON, MDS, and Regional Director of Clinical
Operations were notified. The Administrator was provided with the IJ template on 11/11/2025 at 11:04 am.

REMOVALF686: Treatment/Services to Prevent/Heal Pressure UlcersName of facility: [name of facility]Date:
November 11, 2025, 11:04 am.Immediate action: Immediately upon notification of the alleged deficient
practice of treatment/services to prevent/heal pressure ulcers, the facility implemented the following
measures: Resident #11 was not in the facility at the time of the wound care physician's visit on 11/3/25 as
she was out at a doctor's appointment. On 10/20/25 the right heel wound measured 2.0 X 2.5 X 0.0 and on
11/11/25 the wound measured 1.9 X 2.7 X 0.0. The dietary recommendation written on 10/28/25 for Vitamin
C 500mg QD, Zinc 220mg QD X 14 days, Multiple vitamins with supplement 1 QD and house 2.0
supplement 60cc QID was approved 11/4/25 with orders written 11/11/25. The consulting wound care
physician was contacted by the Corporate Director of Clinical Operations on 11/12/25 at 11:15 am and was
informed of the resident being seen by the surgeon who performed her original right metatarsal surgery
and during the appointment, the right heel pressure injury was debrided and the wound condition had
deteriorated since his last observation. Also reviewed measurements of the wound, and the notes from the
surgeon and the treatment (Santyl) ordered by the outside surgeon. Explained that we received this
information this morning but there was an order from the attending physician for a different order
(Medihoney). The consulting wound care physician stated to go with the order given by the attending
physician and inquire which consulting wound care physician the family and attending physician would like
to use moving forward as they cannot both treat/bill for the resident. The resident representative was
contacted by the Assistant Director of Nursing and informed of the debridement, deterioration of the wound,
and inquired which consulting wound physician she would prefer to use for the pressure area to the left
heel. The resident representative prefers to use the consulting wound care physician that comes to the
facility. Resident #11 is scheduled to be seen by the wound care physician on 11/17/25. Resident #12's left
heel wound measurement on 11/03/25 was 3.0 X 3.0 and the measurements on 11/11/25 were 1.1 X 1.2 X
0.1 and the right heel measured 2.5 X 2.0 X 0.3 on 11/03/25 then on 11/11/25 the wound measured 0.9 X
0.4 X 0.1 showing a significant improvement and the orders remained unchanged since 10/23/25. The
wound care consulting physician was contacted by the Corporate Director of Clinical Operations on
11/12/25 at 11:15 am to inform of the most recent measurements and wound condition, no new orders
were given. The resident representative was notified of the current wound condition by the MDS
Coordinator on 11/11/25. The admitting nurse was provided with individual education regarding ensuring
residents admitting with a wound have orders for treatment, notifying the physician to obtain orders for
treatment and immediately rendering treatment upon admission. Resident #13's wound measurements and
condition were compared to the most previous wound assessment with noted increase in size from
previous observation. On 11/3/25 the wound measurements were 1.0 X 1.0 X 0.2 with 76-100% granulation
and the measurements for 11/11/25 were 1.2 X 1.2 with 70% slough. The wound care consulting physician
was notified by the MDS coordinator on 11/11/25 with no new orders received and he stated the wound
was unavoidable related to residents' persistent position of right side lying. The resident representative was
notified by the MDS Coordinator. Resident #16 was not in the facility at the time of notification. All nursing
staff present at the time of notation were provided with an in-service prepared by the Corporate Director of
Clinical Operations and given by the administrative nursing staff on how to document when a resident is not
available for a visit by a consulting provider. This in-service will be initiated 11/11/25 and will continue until
all nurses have been provided with the necessary education. The facility MDS coordinator evaluated all
current wounds, measured wounds, and documented the condition of all wounds in the Skin Issue
evaluation of the electronic health record on 11/11/25. On 11/11/25, the nursing administration team

(Director of Nursing, Assistant Director of Nursing, and MDS Coordinator), with the assistance of the
Assistant Corporate Director of Clinical Operations will compare all measurements and wound condition
observations to the previous measurement/condition to ensure any area of deterioration/worsening are
immediately reported to the Wound Care Physician and the resident's attending physician regarding wound
care deterioration/worsening. This process will be completed on 11/11/25. On 11/11/25, all nurses present
at the time of notification of the alleged deficient practice will be re-educated in the form of an in-service
from the Assistant Director of Nursing regarding completion of weekly skin assessments. This in-service will
include how to complete the assessment, what to look for, when to complete the assessment, what to
document on the skin assessment, when to report skin issues to the provider vs. the wound care consulting
physician, how to document physician communication regarding wound care. This in-service will continue
until all nurses have been in-serviced and all nurses will receive re-education prior to beginning their next
scheduled shift. Nurses will be provided with notification of consequences for failure to complete scheduled
skin assessments during their shift. Beginning 11/11/25 Completion of skin assessments will be monitored
Monday through Friday by the Director of Nursing and by the designated Weekend Nursing Supervisor on
Saturday and Sunday. A complete head to toe skin inspection was completed by the Director of Nursing,
Assistant Director of Nursing, MDS Coordinator and Assistant Corporate Director of Clinical Operations on
all residents on 11/10/25 to ensure any existing area of pressure injury is identified and treatment is
initiated immediately; no new areas were identified. On 11/11/25, the nurses present at the time of

dropsDuring an interview on 11/12/25 at 10:10 am, Resident #2 said when she did not get her medications
as she was supposed to, it increased her pain levels. She said she was unsure of exactly which
medications she was not receiving, but she just knew she was not always getting them. She said she
wanted to get better so she could see her niece again, who lived out of state. During an interview on
11/6/25 at 10:30 am, LVN E said she was the charge nurse for Resident #2, but said she could not recall
any missed medications for Resident #2. She said any time she held a medication or did not give it for any
reason, she would write a progress note and there should be some kind of indication on the MAR of a
reason why it was not given. She said if the MAR had a blank in it, that it looked like the medication was not
given. She said the charge nurses were responsible for ensuring the medication aides gave resident's
medications. She said if residents did not get their medications appropriately and as ordered, the
medications could be ineffective or not maintain therapeutic levels.During an interview on 11/6/25 at 10:50
am, CMA O said she cared for Resident #2. She said she could not remember any specific times Resident
#2 did not receive her medications. She said anytime she did not give a medication for any reason, she
would still initial off the MAR and input the vital signs, if applicable, and would then notifoy the nurse the
reason the medication was not given. She said there should be no blanks on the MARs, as it would appear
the medication was not given. She said she would always make a progress note indicating the reason the
medication was held or not given (if it was refused or held due to parameters).During an interview on
11/10/2025 at 10:12 am ADON said there was a huge problem with the nurses doing their assigned tasks.
She said there was no one in the facility holding staff accountable to make sure things were done. She said
they had even contacted staff to come in to complete their documentation on their days off. She said the
facility has had a problem for a long time with nurse administration not following through and not holding
staff accountable for things that are not done. She said she was unaware of any specific medications
missed for Resident #2. She said, however, she knew things were being missed. During an interview on
11/12/2025 at 4:38 pm, MDS said going forward, she would be responsible, along with the other
administrative nurses to monitor the missed medications report daily. She said residents could have
adverse events if they did not get their medications as ordered.During an interview on 11/12/2025 at 4:54
pm, ADON said going forward, during the morning meeting, she and the other administrative nurses would
be reviewing the missed medications report to ensure medications were given appropriately. She said if a
resident did not get their medications as ordered, they could suffer a health decline or complications. During
an interview on 11/12/2025 at 5:11 pm, the Administrator said she was unaware specifically of any missed
medications for Resident #2, but said she expected her staff to administer medications as ordered. She
said going forward, she would be monitoring the missed medications report daily in the morning meeting.
She said residents could be at risk of a decline in health status or medications not being effective if they are
not administered as ordered. Record review of the facility's policy titled Administering Medications dated
April 2019 read: .Medications are administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed. and .If a

Resident #4 out. She said Resident #4 had a pulmonary embolism before this hospital stay. She said she
took care of Resident #4 at times and the resident wanted to choose what medications to take. She said
Resident #4 was very difficult but alert and oriented to person, place, and time.During an interview on
11/4/2025 at 9:46 AM, the NP said the facility notified her about Resident #4 when she went to the hospital
yesterday (11/3/2025) for shortness of breath, and prior to that hospital stay, had been diagnosed with a

she was not sure why it was overlooked.During an interview on 11/4/2025 at 2:04 PM, LVN F said the
charge nurses were responsible for entering medication orders for a new admission from the hospital. She
said residents could be at risk for medication errors or be given the wrong dose or medication, if
medications were not entered correctly. She said Resident #4 was difficult at first as she often refused care
and liked things done the way she wanted them done. She said if a resident refused medications or care,
the charge nurse would try to talk to them and try to change their minds, and if they still refused, they would
go to the DON, the Administrator, and notify the NP and family. She said on the MAR, if the resident
refused medications, they were supposed to enter a code to show the refusal. She said nurses were
responsible for administering medications like Entresto and Eliquis and not the medication aides.During an
observation on 11/4/2025 at 2:43 PM, the nurse medication cart for the hall where Resident #4 resided with
the LVN F present revealed Resident #4's medications were still in the cart, but there were no Entresto for
her.During an interview on 11/4/2025 at 2:44 PM, MA R said Resident #4 refused medications at times
from certain people. She said they were to document the refusal in the MAR and notify the charge nurse
about the refusal. She said Resident #4 was difficult to care for. During a phone interview on 11/4/2025 at
3:38 PM, RN K said she had been employed at the facility since July 2025, working nights from 6 pm-6 am,
and was assigned the hall where Resident #4 resided. She said Resident #4 was alert to herself and had
problems with her memory and often did not remember what she did or did not do. She said Resident #4
would often report she had pain in her chest and went to the hospital with atrial fibrillation and recently had
a pulmonary embolism. She said lot of the times Resident #4 was anxious and they would send her out to
the ER when she wanted to go the hospital. She said Resident #4 was noncompliant with care and refused
to take her medications with certain staff, but would usually take them with her. She said Resident #4 would
still look at her cup and count everything to make sure what she was taking but would not remember what
she did or not take. She said she tried to reassure Resident #4 that she took certain medications at
different times of the day. She said if a resident refused to take their medications, she would try to talk to
them. She said two times Resident #4 gave her an attitude, she allowed her to calm down, and went back
and tried again and she was ok with taking her medications. She said if a resident refused medications,
they were to document the refusal, and there was a place in the MAR to document the refusal. She said
Eliquis would be administered by the nurse and not the medication aide. She said she was not sure why
there would be any blanks on Resident #4's MAR but sometimes she would get behind on charting and
would have to go back and make it up because she was busy taking care of other residents. She said she
gave medications when they were due to be given. She said she was instructed that if something was not
documented, then it was not done.During an interview on 11/4/2025 at 4:30 PM, LVN F said on 10/3/2025,
she worked, and that evening prior to her getting off at 6 pm, RN K came in early, and she took the laptop
as she finished her rounds a little after 5 pm. She said she and RN K did a narcotic count in the medication
cart and she left the facility. She said RN K told her she would finish what she had left to complete that
included administering medications. She said the MARs should not have blanks and something should be
documented to indicate if the resident took the medication or if it was refused. She said if a medication was
refused, there should have been documentation of the refusal. She said on 10/3/2025 she left her shift
before 6 pm and RN K said she would take care of things she had left, including giving Resident #4 her
Eliquis that was due at 5 pm.During a phone interview on 11/4/2025 at 6:23 pm, the NP said the
cardiologist and the RP of Resident #4 did not want her to take the Entresto that was ordered on admission
to the facility. She said she saw Entresto on her list of medications and she contacted the cardiologist on

was told they did not think Entresto would benefit her one way or another. She said the hospital had it on
her discharge medication list, but the RP did not want the resident to take it. She said she was told by staff
that Resident #4 would sometimes refuse medications at times. She said if the resident refused, then the
staff needed to document the refusal and indicate that they did not give the resident the medication. She
said the Eliquis was ordered for atrial fibrillation. She said on 10/26/2025-10/28/2025, Resident #4 was sent
to the hospital and diagnosed with an embolism. She said the resident would sometimes not remember she
was given medications and would say she had not received any. During a phone interview on 11/5/2025 at
8:32 AM, LVN L said she had been employed at the facility since July 2025 and worked day shift from 6
am-6 pm. She said she took care of Resident #4, who was stubborn at times and would refuse to take her
medications. She said Resident #4 liked things her way and wanted to be in charge, and if they let her be in
charge she would be compliant. She said Resident #4 refused care a lot including medications, but if they
talked to her, she would allow certain people to administer them. She said if a resident refused, they were
supposed to notify the physician, family, and document in a progress note. She said if Resident #4 or any
residents refused, they were to chart and document the code (2) for refusal on the MAR. She said she was
the admission nurse for Resident #4 when she was admitted to the facility. She said the discharge
medication list for Resident #4 was in the packet provided by EMS from the hospital. She said she did not
know why Entresto was not added to her medication orders, said she talked to the RP on the day of
admission, and they discussed some of the medications that were ordered and compared her home list to
the hospital list. Said the RP asked what medications had been ordered. She said she was not sure if she
contacted the physician about reconciling the medications or not. She said when they entered the
medications into the system, she thought the order went directly to the pharmacy to be filled. She said she
was not aware if someone was looking to ensure orders were entered correctly. She said if medications
were not entered correctly, it could be deadly, if they never received a medication, things could go left
untreated. During a phone interview on 11/5/2025 at 9:01 AM, RN A said she had been employed at the
facility for 6 months and worked day shift from 6 am-6 pm. She said she took care of Resident #4 when she
was at the facility. She said she loved the resident, but Resident #4 would give other staff hell and Resident
#4 would allow her to care for her when no one else could. She said Resident #4 would refuse to take some
of her medications at times from the medication aides, but would take them later. She said a lot of Resident
#4's refusals were that she wanted them done on her own time. She said the only time there would have
been a blank on the MAR would be that she must have forgotten to mark that the resident took the
medication. She said when she administered medications, she made sure it was for the right patient, gave
them the medication, and then would document that it was given. She said it took a few seconds to
document and sometimes she would get distracted. She said if it was not documented, then it was not
done, and Resident #4 could be at risk for a blood clot if she was given the Eliquis that was ordered. During
an interview on 11/12/2025 at 5:24 PM, the Administrator said residents' health could decline if they did not
get their medications as ordered. She said the nurses were to notify the RP or family and educate them on
risks if they refused. She said staff should document in the MAR/TAR, if they refused and state they
refused. She said nurses were responsible for ensuring the residents receive the blood thinners. She said
the nurse should oversee the medication aide to ensure medications were given. She said residents could
run the risk of blood clots and other issues if they did not receive their medications as ordered. Record

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to establish and maintain an infection
prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to
help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 3 of 10
residents (Resident #2, Resident #17, and Resident #13) and 3 of 5 staff (CNA H, LVN F, and MDS
Coordinator) reviewed for infection control. The facility failed to ensure CNA H changed her gloves and
washed/sanitized her hands during incontinent care provided to Resident #2 on 11/4/2025.The facility failed
to ensure LVN F changed her gloves when she changed from dirty to clean during wound care provided to
Resident #17 on 11/4/2025.The facility failed to ensure the MDS Coordinator wore appropriate PPE for
enhanced barrier precautions when wound care was provided to Resident #13 on 11/20/2025.These
failures could place residents at risk of exposure to infectious diseases due to improper infection control
practices.Findings included:1. Record review of an admission Record for Resident #2 dated 11/5/2025
indicated she admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was [AGE] years old with diagnoses of major
depressive disorder (persistent sadness or loss of interest in doing things), type 2 diabetes, and
hypertensive heart disease with heart failure (high blood pressure that makes it more difficult for the heart
to pump blood through the body). Record review of a Significant Change MDS assessment dated [DATE]
for Resident #2 indicated she did not have any impairment in thinking with a BIMS score of 15. She
required set-up or clean-up assistance with eating and oral hygiene but was dependent on staff for toileting.
She was frequently incontinent of urine/bowel.Record review of a care plan for Resident #2 revised
12/29/2023 indicated she had occasional bladder incontinence related to an overactive bladder.
Interventions included to clean peri-area with each incontinence episode. During an observation on
11/4/2025 at 11:11 AM, MA R and CNA H were in the room of Resident #2 to perform incontinent care. MA
R sanitized her hands and applied gloves. CNA H did not wash or sanitize her hands and applied gloves.
CNA H removed wipes from the package and Resident #2 rolled onto her left side. Resident #2 was not
wearing a brief. CNA H wiped her buttocks and rectal area from front to back and rolled the linens
underneath her buttocks. CNA H placed a clean fitted sheet on the bed using the same gloves and
Resident #2 was rolled onto her right side and the dirty linens were removed and placed in a plastic bag.
Resident #2 rolled onto her back and CNA H removed a wipe from the package to clean her abdominal skin
fold. MA R removed the gown from Resident #2 and CNA H placed clean gown on the resident. CNA H
removed her gloves and placed them in the trash. Resident #2 was repositioned in bed. Both MA R and
CNA H removed their gloves and placed them in the trash and sanitized their hands. CNA H removed the
trash and exited the room. MA R exited the room.During an interview on 11/4/2025 at 11:20 AM, CNA H
said she had been employed at the facility since April 2025. She said she had a skills checkoff about 6
months ago in the facility by the previous DON. She said during the care provided to Resident #2 she did
not wash her hands or sanitize before she applied gloves. She said she should have started at the front of
her body instead of the back of her body but because of her tumor that was in the way of her vagina that it
made it hard for the staff to clean at the front first. She said she should have changed her gloves when she
touched and changed tasks from dirty to clean items and she should not have placed clean items on the
bed with her dirty gloves. She said residents could be at risk for infections or cross contamination if staff did
not change gloves or wash or sanitize their hands.2. Record review of an admission Record dated
11/5/2025 for Resident #17 indicated he admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was [AGE] years old with
diagnoses of GERD (acid reflux), depression (sadness or loss of interest in doing things), type 2 diabetes

perform hand hygiene after gloves were removed. She said enhanced barrier precautions were to protect
the residents from infections that staff or residents carried, and staff should wear gowns and gloves when
care was provided. She said residents who had chronic wounds were on enhanced barrier precautions. She
