the Administrator revealed the facility decided-without input from affected residents or their representatives-to discontinue sending residents, including Resident #3, to the local wound care clinic where they had been treated by Medical Director #1. Instead, the facility transferred wound care to a certified wound care nurse practitioner providing infacility services. He acknowledged no printed letters were issued, no notifications were made to residents or their RPs, and Resident #3's RR was not contacted, despite documentation that the facility had communicated with the RR regarding other care matters on 8/11/25. He confirmed the change occurred despite opposition from both MD #1 and MD #2 and stated there was no reason residents could not continue receiving wound care both in the clinic and in the facility.On 11/12/25 at 10:57 AM, a telephone interview with Resident #3's RR and POA revealed he had not been notified of the change in Medical Director, the revocation of attending physician privileges, or the transition to an infacility wound care. He confirmed he received no verbal, written, or electronic communication regarding changes in providers or treatment locations and had not been informed of any need to make decisions regarding physician participation. He stated he believed Resident #3 had continued attending weekly wound care clinic visits and was unaware that the resident had missed appointments. He reported that Resident #3 could not make medical decisions and that his placement decision was based on his trust in MD #1 and MD #2.On 11/13/25 at 10:04 AM, during a telephone interview, Medical Director #1 stated he was concerned about Resident #3's sacral and forefoot wounds, which required ongoing monitoring for infection. He stated he had planned to evaluate the resident for potential intravenous antibiotic therapy, including possible PICC line placement, and that this plan was documented in the Wound Log provided to the facility. He stated he was unable to evaluate the resident's wounds for three weeks in August while the facility diverted the resident to in?house treatment by a wound care nurse practitioner.
