South Hampton Place: Wound Left Untreated After Readmission - MO
The Licensed Practical Nurse standing in the room at 2:08 p.m. said she did not know the resident had a wound on the back of his leg. She could not find an order for treatment.
Nineteen minutes later, the Director of Nursing said the same thing. She did not know the resident had any wounds. She confirmed the medical record contained no documentation of a wound on the left leg.
The resident had been readmitted from the hospital, according to a federally mandated assessment dated June 8. The facility's own policy, updated just three months earlier in February, is direct on what should happen at that moment: a licensed nurse completes a physical skin evaluation, initiates a protective dressing if a skin condition is present, notifies the physician, and documents everything. The CNA policy adds that aides are to observe skin during daily care and report any changes to a nurse.
None of that happened.
The bandage on the resident's leg was unlabeled. There was no note in the chart. No physician had been called. No order existed for whatever dressing had been placed over the wound.
South Hampton Place is a 67-bed facility on Brandon Woods Drive in Columbia.
The LPN told the inspector that staff are directed to assess a resident's skin based on physician order and check weekly. She said if a concern was noticed, the nurse should assess, document in the progress notes, and report to the Director of Nursing and the physician. Then she said she had no idea the wound was there.
The administrator, interviewed at 3:45 p.m., walked through the policy the same way. Skin assessment on admission. Skin assessment on discharge. Weekly. As needed. The charge nurse performs the assessment on readmission. If an aide notices something, they tell the nurse. The nurse calls the physician and gets wound care orders.
That is the policy. What the inspector found was a large open area on the back of a resident's leg, covered by a bandage with no label, no order behind it, and no entry in the medical record acknowledging it existed.
The inspection report does not say how long the resident had been back from the hospital before the inspection on May 27. It does not say how long the wound had gone without documented treatment. It does not say who placed the bandage or when.
What it says is that a nurse removed the bandage during the inspection and saw the wound for the first time.
The Director of Nursing confirmed there was no documentation the resident had a wound at all.
Inspectors rated the deficiency as having the potential for actual harm.

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.
