Staff did not properly care for resident's wounds - UNSUBSTANTIATED
It was reported that a resident had cuts on their body that were not being treated.
Staff stated that R1 had some skin tears and bruises when he moved in, the med techs would bandage him if he was bleeding but “outside people” were providing wound care.
COO stated When he got here from his previous facility, he had existing skin tears that he would pick at and they would reopen that’s what kept him chronic. He had skin tears on his legs and we sent him out to have them look at them and they sent him back to us. The VA was following the wounds on his legs. They kept his skin tears wrapped because he picks at them and doesn’t allow them to heal. The VA does it all, even if it (bandages) comes loose the VA comes in.
It was determined that when R1 moved into the facility in January 2024 he had some bruises and skin tears. The VA was providing care for these wounds although the med tech would provide first aid if required. This allegation is unsubstantiated.
