Regarding the allegation that residents in care sustained multiple pressure injuries, it was alleged that Residents #1 and #2 (R1 and R2) had multiple bed sores with broken skin on their bottoms. LPA’s record review on 10/29/22 at 11:00 AM revealed that R1 was admitted at the facility on 07/29/2020 and was on hospice care since 12/30/2020. Further review also revealed that R1 had no pressure wound during the time in question (11/10/21) but has a traumatic wound on right forearm that the hospice agency was taking care of. LPA’s record review also revealed that R2 was admitted at the facility on 01/29/21 and had stage three (3) pressure sores that were being taken care of by the home health agency wound care nurse since R1 was admitted at the facility. Further review also revealed that the home health agency nurse/staff was visiting R1 seven (7) days a week and cleaned R1’s wound three (3) to four (4) times a day.
LPA’s interview with staff on 10/29/22 between 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM revealed that residents who were incontinent were being checked regularly. An interview with three (3) aware residents confirmed that staff checked them and change their diapers regularly.
Based on the information gathered during the course of the investigation, the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated at this time.
