Inspection Findings
During an interview on [DATE] at 3:00 pm Resident #1's family stated a fluid filled blister was identified on Resident #1's left heel sometimes in April of 2025. Resident #1's family stated Resident #1 was noted with tennis shoes on after it was communicated with the ADON that Resident #1 didn't need the tennis shoes due to the pressure area on Resident #1's heel. Resident #1's family stated she spoke with LVN A who stated Resident #1 was not supposed to be wearing tennis shoes. Resident #1's family stated she spoke with the CNA on duty that day and the CNA stated she did not know Resident #1 was not supposed to wear the tennis shoes. Resident #1's family stated she took the tennis shoes home.
During an interview on [DATE] at 12:09 pm, the Wound Care Nurse stated Resident #1 had a pressure area to her left heel which started as a fluid filled blister and DTI.
The Wound Care Nurse stated she heard in conversation that Resident #1's tennis shoes were put on her.
The Wound Care Nurse stated there should have been an order for Resident #1 to wear only socks or opened back house shoes.
The Wound Care Nurse stated she or the ADON were responsible to put in the order.
The Wound Care Nurse stated putting tennis shoes on Resident #1's foot with a pressure area would cause discomfort.
The Wound Care Nurse stated the facility had boots ordered, they were offloading Resident #1's heels and providing positioning pillows and wedges and repositioning her every 2 hours and as needed.
During an interview on [DATE] at 1:12 pm, the ADON stated, when the blister had started on Resident #1's left heel, she and Resident #1's family had discussed that maybe the shoes were tight.
The ADON stated she asked Resident #1's family if it was ok to a house shoe on the Resident #1 and the family agreed.
The ADON stated she communicated with staff.
The ADON stated 3-4 days after the discussion, an agency staff working with Resident #1 put the shoes on Resident #1 and the family was visiting and saw the shoes on the Resident #1.
The ADON stated that was the only time the shoes were put on Resident #1, after that incident the shoes were not in the Resident #1's room.
During an interview on [DATE] at 12:57 pm the DON stated it was discussed in a care plan meeting concerning Resident #1 not wearing her tennis shoes.
The DON stated, I believe they had asked the family to take the shoes home, but the family didn't. I believe there was a missed communication with the CNAs, the charge nurse was supposed to notify the CNA. I will have to check with the ADON to find out if there was an in-service with the staff not to put the tennis shoes on Resident #1. I don't remember what the wound looked like back in June ([DATE]) but once it was agreed upon not to put the shoes on Resident #1, the staff shouldn't have put the shoe on the resident.
Review of facility's in-services for the months of May, June, and [DATE] reflected no in-service regarding Resident #1 not to wear tennis shoe due to pressure areaRequested Skin and wound Care policy from the Administrator on [DATE] at 09:30 am and it was not provided.
