On 12/17/25, at 2:44 PM, at end of day meeting, Surveyor asked if the facility knew who was performing wound care rounds. Corporate Consultant- G states Nurse-I who was an agency nurse was going to be doing wound rounds. NHA-A states Nurse-I was not available at the time for interview.
Surveyor requested to speak with Nurse-I when available. Surveyor then asked what the process is for skin assessments and wound care treatments when a resident returns from the hospital. Corporate Consultant-G states, the resident is seen by the wound care physician at the next scheduled wound care rounds, the admitting nurse will perform a comprehensive skin assessment and enter in treatment orders with the wound care nurse. Corporate Consultant-G states the comprehensive skin assessment includes staging, measurements, and wound bed description that is to be completed the same day of admission/readmission. Surveyor asked if Resident R2 was being followed by podiatry as stated by Resident R2's EMR.
