The facility census was 53 at the time of the survey. The findings are: A. Review of Resident 5's Physician Order Sheet dated 6/1/2026 revealed that they were admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of hemiplegia (paralysis of one entire side of the body) and hemiparesis (muscle weakness affecting only one side of the body due to damage to the brain) following a cerebral infarction (stroke) affecting right dominant side, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (a chronic condition where the body either resists the effects of insulin or doesn't produce enough to maintain normal blood sugar levels), chronic kidney disease, urinary retention, and depression. Review of Resident 5's admission MDS dated [DATE], revealed that Resident 5 was at risk for pressure ulcers and no wounds were present at time of this assessment. Review of Resident 5's electronic medical record (EMR) revealed: 5/01/2026: a reddened area to Resident 5's coccyx with a 1centimeter (CM) by 2 cm blister on top of the red area. 5/01/2026: treatment of Calmoseptine ointment to intact blister on coccyx every shift was added to the Medication Administration Record. 5/04/2026: the reddened area to coccyx measured 2.7 cm by 2.2 cm. 5/07/2026: skin covering the wound had peeled back, exposing 75% of the wound bed with no measurements of the coccyx wound 5/08/2026: wound, identified as Stage 2 (a shallow, open wound that affects the top two layers of skin, often appearing as a blister or crater), measured 3.1 cm by 3 cm. The wound bed was yellow/white and no drainage was present. 5/10/2026: wound identified as Stage 3 (involving full-thickness skin loss extending into the subcutaneous tissue) and measured 1.6 cm by 2.2 cm. There was serosanguinous (wound drainage that is thin in consistency and pink or red in color due to the presence of blood) drainage but no odor from the wound was present. The note indicated that Resident 5 was experiencing pain related to the wound and that a new treatment was needed for the wound. 5/12/2026: order for wound treatment every 8 hours as needed with Therahoney and Optifoam dressing with pink oxide tape to border for wound. 5/13/2026: nurse progress note review revealed that treatment not provided due to Therahoney not being available.

The drainage was purulent (a thick, cloudy, or milky fluid, also referred to as pus) and had an odor to it. The wound bed was yellow and black and noted to have deteriorated. The entry of 5/22/2026 further indicated that the physician was notified and questioned whether consultation with a wound specialist would be appropriate. 5/29/2026: Wound was classified unstageable and measured 4.2 cm by 3.5 cm. Large amounts of purulent and foul odorous drainage were noted with eschar (dead tissue) to the wound bed. 5/30/2026: Wound bed was yellow in color with soft slough (a byproduct of the inflammatory phase of healing; slough blocks healthy tissue growth and harbors bacteria) and a large amount of odorous drainage present. The issue surrounding the wound was red and swollen; no wound measurements were provided. 6/1/2026: Wound bed was yellow and black with slough present. Two tunneling (narrow passageways or tracts extending beneath the skin from a primary wound surface into surrounding tissues) areas were noted within the wound.
