water. V5 states V4 stepped out of the room and that's when she found that R1 had a slit underneath one of her abdominal folds. V5 states the slit was draining liquid when she pressed R1's stomach. V5 states the slit was located on the right side of R1's stomach. V5 states she then called V4 (RN) back into the room to inform her and V4 came right away. V5 states V6 (R1's Family Member) was riled up and kept asking what is going on, what are you guys doing? On 09/13/2025 at 3:25PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) states she was called by V4 (RN) and made aware of fluid mixed with blood coming from the right side of R1's abdomen. V4 states she was in the facility and went to assess R1 herself. V2 states upon her assessment, there was a slit that appeared to be a surgical wound that was open. V2 states from her understanding, R1 had just had surgery on her ileostomy. V2 states R1's cut was very clean and there were no sutures or ripped wound edges. V2 states clear fluid mixed with blood was leaking out of R1's right side. V2 states she then called the doctor for R1 to be sent to the ER. V2 states R1's slit was in her abdominal folds and at first you cannot see it, but if it is pressed, then it opens up. V2 states the ambulance came to transport R1 to the ER pretty quickly. V2 states she was not made aware that R1 was soiled and had to wait a long time to be changed. V2 states she was not aware of an email communication sent by V6 (R1's Family Member) regarding concerns of R1 waiting 90 minutes to be changed. V2 states she expects the nursing and CNA staff to respond to the needs of the resident as soon as possible. V2 states it is not acceptable for any resident to have to wait an hour and a half to have care rendered. V2 states she is not sure who signed and completed R1's initial skin assessment. V2 states usually, the admitting nurse is the person who performs the initial skin assessment for the residents. V2 states she cannot completely read R1's skin assessment because it is handwritten, and some words are not legible.

Email communication dated 08/27/2025 at 10:38AM written by V6 (R1's Family Member) and addressed to V1 (Administrator) and V3 (Business Development Coordinator), documents a concern of R1 being left soiled for an hour and a half.R1's hospital records dated 08/25/2025 documents the following: A transverse incision was made in the right lower quadrant.R1's initial skin assessment dated [DATE] does not document a surgical wound on R1's right lower quadrant.Per R1's nursing progress note dated 08/25/2025, V10 (RN) was the nurse assigned to care for R1 during R1's admission to the facility.An attempt to contact V10 was made on 09/13/2025 at 3:58PM without success, voice message left, awaiting call back.

Facility policy dated 12/2017 titled Colostomy/Ileostomy Care documents in part, Preparation A.
