SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
10:50am, LVN G said she was the Wound Care Nurse.
She said the weekly skin assessment should still be performed by the floor nurse, even if they had wounds.
She said she filled out the Weekly Wound Review and it was based off the measurements the Wound Care MD gave her.In an interview on 8/12/25 at 11:41am, the ADM said a skin assessment was performed at every admission and was documented under the Admission/Baseline Care Plan.
She said then weekly, a head-to-toe skin assessment was performed by one of the 3 different shifts, according to the schedule at the nursing station.
The ADM said the Weekly Wound Review should be done along with the Weekly Skin assessment.
The ADM said the nurses were trained on performing skin assessments and knew the schedule on when to perform them.
She said she did not know why the nurses were not doing the skin assessments and had not heard anything from them about the assessments not being done.In an interview on 8/12/25 at 3:15pm, the ADM said she investigated the reason for the skin assessments not being done and Resident #2's weekly skin assessments were never triggered in the EMR.
She said she would call the company to see what was going on.
The ADM said even though it did not trigger in the system, the nurses should have known to do the assessment, even if they had to do it on paper.In an interview on 8/12/25 at 4:47pm, the ADM said after investigation of the other resident's skin assessments not being done, she thinks they were overlooked.
She said the ADON normally would follow up on skin assessments to ensure they got done and she had not had an ADON in a few weeks.
She said she also was in between DONs so everyone was stretched thin.
She said if skin assessments were not done, they could miss skin issues and residents could get wounds.
