The problems extended beyond one resident. During a second interview that afternoon at 3:00 p.m., the same Director of Nursing confirmed the facility failed to ensure residents were properly monitored, assessed, and received necessary services to prevent pressure ulcers and wounds from developing.

Two of three residents examined by inspectors were affected by these monitoring and treatment failures, including Residents R83 and R156.

Pressure ulcers, commonly known as bedsores, develop when sustained pressure reduces blood flow to skin and underlying tissue. They can become serious medical complications if prevention treatments are skipped or monitoring lapses occur.

The inspection, completed January 31, found the facility violated Pennsylvania regulations governing resident care policies and nursing services. State inspectors classified the violation as causing minimal harm or potential for actual harm, affecting few residents.

The facility has not yet submitted its plan of correction to address the wound care and monitoring deficiencies identified during the complaint investigation.
