SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
Review of the medical record, showed no further completed skin assessment data forms and no further documentation of the condition of the resident's right heel pressure wound was noted.
During an interview on 11/6/25 at 8:00 A.M., LPN B said on admission, a head-to-toe assessment should be completed.
The weekly skin assessments are signed off on the TAR and a skin assessment data form should be completed even if there are no skin issues to report. If the resident has wounds or a skin condition, a description and the condition of the wound should be addressed on the weekly skin data assessment and in the progress notes. If a change in condition occurs related to the wound, the facility Wound Nurse is called.
The Wound Nurse completes some of the treatments but not all of them.
During an interview on 11/6/25 at 9:32 A.M., Nurse Manger A said the admission for the resident was not completed.
The resident did not have a Braden Score completed or a skin assessment on admission. A head-to-toe assessment is expected to be completed on admission and weekly.
The Charge Nurse is expected to sign off the TAR, complete a skin data form, and write a note related to wound's condition if applicable every week.
During an interview on 11/6/25 at 12:30 P.M., the Wound Nurse said the Charge Nurse is responsible for documenting the weekly wound assessments and completing treatments. A head-to-toe assessment is to be completed and documented on admission by the admitting nurse.
The Wound Nurse said she was not sure if the resident came into the facility with the right heel pressure wound because a skin assessment was not performed on admission.
She was not aware of the dark, soft area to the resident's right heel until 9/17/25 when a staff member notified her.
The Wound Nurse said the soft dark area to the resident's right heel was a deep tissue injury (damage to the skin underneath and appears like a dark bruise) when she initially assessed the wound.
She was notified on 10/11/25 by a staff member that the resident's right heel had opened and at that time, she consulted the Wound Nurse Practitioner.
The Wound Nurse is not responsible to document the condition of the wound weekly unless the resident is seen by the Wound Nurse Practitioner.
The resident was not seen by the Wound Nurse Practitioner until 10/16/25.
The Wound Nurse said she does not complete all the treatments, and if the wound is not looking better, she expected staff to inform her.
The resident's skin assessment completed on 10/6/25 is inaccurate.
She expected staff to accurately describe the resident's skin condition and where the skin condition is located.
She expected staff to sign the treatment off on the TAR and complete a skin data assessment form each week.
The Wound Nurse said she also has Nurse Manager duties, and it would be impossible for her to complete every skin assessment on every resident every week.
During an interview on 11/6/25 at 10:45 A.M., the Director of Nursing said she expected weekly skin assessments to be completed timely and accurately. If a resident has a wound, she expected staff to add a progress note about the progression or decline of the wound each week.
