Inspection Findings
During a surveyor interview on 9/9/2025 at 1:39 PM and 9/16/2025 at approximately 12:30 PM with Licensed Practical Nurse, Staff A, she revealed the resident has a cancerous lesion which was found during a dermatology consult a few months ago but got worse over time as the resident kept picking at it.
Additionally, Staff A disclosed that the resident had a physician's order to apply Aquaphor ointment to the right temple for two weeks from January to February.
However, after the treatment ended, the lesion was left untreated until June, when a topical antibiotic was finally started due to the wound's condition.
Further, Staff A revealed on 9/7/2025 she observed maggots in the wound and sent the resident to the hospital.
During surveyor interviews on 9/10/2025 at 9:16 AM and on 9/16/2025 at approximately 3:00 PM with the Director of Nursing Services, she acknowledged that the lesion/wound to the resident's right temple had become worse.
Additionally, she was unable to provide evidence that the wound was treated or assessed from 2/10/2025 until 6/28/2025.
Furthermore, she was unable to provide evidence that the weekly skin checks from 12/13/2024 through 9/7/2025 were accurately completely, as the right temple lesion/wound was not assessed on the weekly skin checks.
