The deficiency falls under a category of resident rights violations, not a clinical care failure.

Inspectors classified the deficiency as isolated, meaning it didn't affect every resident, but they determined there was potential for more than minimal harm.

The citation, issued September 4, falls under a category federal regulators call Quality of Life and Care Deficiencies.

It was one of 18 separate deficiencies inspectors documented during that single visit.

Inspectors classified the level of harm as minimal harm or potential for actual harm, and noted that few residents were affected.

The deficiency, tagged under the nutrition and dietary category, was one of nine violations found during the complaint inspection conducted on September 10.

The resident, identified in inspection records only as R1, carries a medical history that describes near-total dependence on others for survival.

The citation was rated scope and severity level D, meaning inspectors identified the problem as isolated and found no documented actual harm.

Immediate jeopardy is the most serious finding federal inspectors can make.

The citation is tagged F0689, the federal standard covering accident hazards and supervision.

The facility's wound care policy, dated October 2020, lays out a sequence that staff are expected to follow every time they treat a resident's wound.

The deficiency was one of nine cited during a complaint inspection conducted September 4, 2025.
