why they went eight (8) months with no documented nail care. During an interview on 11/14/2025 at 10:30 AM, Wound Nurse Practitioner #9 stated they saw the resident weekly since 2024 for wounds on their feet.
They recommended podiatry in their consults because podiatry helped with nail care. They stated from what they recalled, it was difficult to tell where the resident's toenails were due to eschar that was present.
They believed residents should be seen by podiatry every three (3) months and although Nurse Practitioner #9 and a vascular physician cared for the resident's feet, neither of them provided routine nail care. During
an interview on 11/18/2025 at 10:16 AM, Chief Nursing Officer #3 stated there was no documented process for how podiatry consults got scheduled or who was responsible to ensure scheduling. They had spoken with their Director of Nursing and the unit secretary who verbally told them the process and they would be updating their policy to include this information. Staff were aware of the process even though it was not documented. Diabetic residents had toenail care provided by a podiatrist only. If a provider recommended routine podiatry, it was the responsibility of the unit manager to arrange the consult. The resident should have been seen for toenail care between 08/2025 and 04/2025. 10 NYCRR 415.12(k)(7)
