According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including one out of five stars concerning health inspections, two out of five stars for staffing issues and four out of five stars for quality measures.
The state investigators determined that the facility “failed to monitor [a resident] when a skin condition was identified.” This deficient practice affected one resident “review for non-pressure related skin conditions.”
The investigative team reviewed the resident’s Care Plan that outlined “interventions to include staff to report skin breakdown immediately and to monitor and document healing of [the resident’s medical condition] and any new or worsening symptoms.” The resident had a Physician’s order to discontinue the use of Unna compression boots that were changed twice weekly.
One week before the discontinuation of the boots, the resident’s Progress Note revealed that the resident “complained of discomfort of the left leg. The Unna but was removed and the lower left leg was being odorous red fluid. The note indicated the Physician was notified in the area would be monitored.” However, a review of the resident’s Treatment Administration Record and Progress Notes revealed “no evidence of monitoring of the resident’s left leg for seeping of odorous red fluid.”
The facility “failed to ensure [a resident] had frequent monitoring of skin and failed to ensure the resident did not sit on the bed and too long resulting in Stage III pressure ulcers to the left and right buttocks.” The deficient practice affected one resident “reviewed for pressure ulcers.”
A review of the resident’s Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) Assessment revealed that the resident requires the “extensive assistance of two or more staff for bed mobility and transfers [and needed] extensive assistance of one person for toileting.”
The resident’s Current Skin Integrity Care Plan “revealed the resident had impaired skin integrity and had interventions included to identify possible causative factors and resolve.” However, a review of the resident’s State-Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) Kardex, which the STNAs used as a guide to each residents’ individual’s needs, revealed no interventions listed for preventing pressure ulcers [before] or following discovery of two pressure ulcers on September 11, 2017.
