Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to conduct weekly skin observations and evaluations to identify pressure ulcers and administer treatments timely treatment for 1 of 3 sampled resident (#359) reviewed for pressure ulcers. This placed residents at risk for complications related to unavoidable skin breakdown and not receiving care to treat pressure ulcers in a timely manner. Findings include: Resident 359 was admitted to the facility in 3/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease (a progressive disorder which primarily affects the brain and leads to cognitive decline) and diabetes mellitus. A review of Resident 359's 3/18/24 admission MDS revealed she/he had severe cognitive impairment, had pressure ulcers, was at risk for the development of additional pressure ulcers and was dependent on staff for bed mobility. The Pressure Ulcer/Injury CAA indicated the facility provided Resident 359 with a pressure relieving mattress for her/his bed to minimize the pressure on her/his bony prominences while in bed. Resident 359's 3/22/24 care plan related to her/his pressure ulcers and risk for further skin breakdown indicated staff were to reposition her/him frequently, inspect her/his skin while providing cares and notify the nurse of any new skin conditions. A review of Resident 359's Weekly Skin Observations revealed no new skin impairments were identified on 8/7/24, 8/20/24, 8/30/24 or 9/13/24. The next reported Weekly Skin Observation was completed 35 days later on 10/17/24 and indicated Resident 359 developed an irregularly-shaped unstageable pressure ulcer (obscured full-thickness skin and tissue loss) 8 cm long and 10 cm wide on her/his coccyx (the last bone at the base of the spine).

A 10/18/24 progress note created by Staff 3 (RNCM) indicated Resident 359's coccyx pressure ulcer appeared to be a terminal ulcer. On 5/21/25 AT 4:18 PM Staff 3 stated the initial wound was discovered on 8/23/24 and a new wound dressing order was placed on 8/26/24 but was overlooked and not implemented. Staff 3 stated she first observed Resident 359's coccyx pressure wound on 10/18/24, noting it was a larger wound at the time and was then identified as a [NAME] pressure ulcer (a type of pressure ulcer that rapidly develops in the final stages of life, often appearing on the coccyx or other bony prominences). On 5/22/25 at 2:33 PM Staff 20 (LPN) stated Resident 359's hospice provider visited her/him twice each week, checked her/him for any changes and asked CNAs if there was anything new. Staff 20 stated CNAs repositioned Resident 359 every two hours due to the resident's fragile skin. Staff 20 stated Resident 359's hospice caregiver discovered the new wound on resident 359's coccyx during a regular visit but he did not recall the date.

On 5/22/25 at 4:33 PM Staff 11 stated on 8/23/24 Resident 359's hospice provider observed a new open wound on the resident's bottom which was not previously observed or charted by staff in Weekly Skin Observations. Staff 11 stated hospice staff left him a handwritten note regarding the new wound. Staff 11 stated he did not act on the note because he had been out of the facility for more than a week, he did not ensure the information was provided to the oncoming nurse and instead assumed a nurse would see the note.

F684J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to identify, comprehensively assess and intervene timely for an acute change in a resident's condition for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#1) reviewed for change of condition. This failure, determined to be an immediate jeopardy situation, resulted in a delay of identification and assessment of symptoms and a delay in emergent treatment for [REDACTED]. As a result, Resident 1 was hospitalized , placed on Hospice Care and passed away on 10/21/20. This placed all residents at risk for unidentified change of condition, delay of treatment and serious harm and/or death. Findings include: The American Stroke Association advised to use the letters in FAST to identify stroke symptoms: - Facial drooping (does one side droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is it lopsided or uneven?) - Arm weakness (Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?) - Speech difficulty (Is speech slurred or jumbled? Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence) - Time (Call 9-1-1 immediately) The American Stroke Association advised if someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 or emergency medical services immediately.
