Inspection Findings
During a review of Resident 37's History and Physical (H&P) dated 12/16/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 37 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 37's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 12/17/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 37's cognition (process of thinking) was significantly impaired for memory and thinking and required cueing and supervision in daily tasks. Resident 37 required moderate assistance from one staff member for activities of daily living (bathing, toileting and eating). Resident 37 walked using a walker with set up and supervision assistance from one staff member.
During a review of the Weekly Skin Evaluation note dated 3/11/2026 at 8:40 a.m., the note indicated the presence of a right buttock stage 2 pressure ulcer (partial-thickness loss of skin, presenting as a shallow open sore or wound) measuring 5 x 1.6 x 0.1 centimeters (cm-a unit of measurement) and a left buttock stage 2 pressure ulcer measuring 6 x 1.3 x 0.1 cm.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/26/2026 at 12:27 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 37's care plans were reviewed.
The DON confirmed care plans were not developed or implemented for Resident 37's two stage 2 pressure ulcers.
The DON stated care plan interventions were not created for the management of Resident 37's two stage 2 pressure ulcers.
The DON stated not having a care plan for stage 2 pressure ulcers put Resident 37 at risk for worsening pressure ulcers and the wounds could get worse.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Pressure Sore and Wound Management, undated, the P&P indicated if pressure areas were present, documentation of findings would be entered in nursing progress notes, care plan and weekly skin assessment.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Resident's Care Plan Long & Short Term, undated, the P&P indicated a skin break was an example of a short-term problem that required a short-term care plan.
