Stonebridge Lake Ozark: Care Quality Deficiency - MO
The wound appeared in a weekly skin assessment dated October 17, 2025. A physician sent over a treatment order. But the record contained no full wound assessment, no measurements, no notation of drainage. Then the documentation stopped almost entirely.
From October 18 through October 30, there is no record of a skin assessment being completed. In November, assessments were missing from the 1st through the 10th, and again from the 12th through the 21st, the day inspectors arrived.
The administrator did not dispute what the records showed. During an interview that afternoon, he said that if signatures were missing from the treatment administration record, the treatment probably wasn't done.
The facility's director of nursing had left about a month earlier. RN A, serving as acting DON, told inspectors she had been trying to audit skin assessments and wound documentation but said the increased workload had made it difficult to keep up. She acknowledged the nurse who found the wound on October 17 should have documented a full assessment that same day, and that charge nurses should have been completing weekly checks to monitor it and catch any new skin concerns.
RN B laid out what those assessments were supposed to include: location, measurements, stage, drainage if present, or at minimum a general description of the area. If a nurse couldn't stage a wound, RN B said, they were expected to ask the DON or assistant DON for help. If a treatment was skipped, a progress note explaining why was required. None of that happened consistently here.
The administrator said he was aware the assessments weren't being completed as expected and planned to address it with the newly hired director of nursing. The resident, who was already flagged as at risk for pressure ulcers and using pressure-reducing devices for both bed and chair, had been in that condition the entire time.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
