Inspection Report Complaint Investigation Deficiencies: 1 Jun 12, 2024
Visit Reason
The inspection was conducted due to a complaint investigation regarding the facility's failure to provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing in a resident.
Findings
The facility failed to provide necessary treatment and services to prevent an avoidable pressure ulcer in one resident, resulting in an unstageable wound requiring hospital treatment and eventual above-the-knee amputation. The investigation revealed inadequate skin checks, unclear care plan revisions after cast removal, and failure to remove the brace for skin inspection.
Complaint Details
The complaint investigation found that Resident 1 developed a facility-acquired deep tissue injury and open wound on the right foot and 5th toe, which worsened to a necrotic ulcer with exposed bone, leading to hospital admission and scheduled amputation. The wounds were attributed to pressure from the resident's preference of lying on the right side and inadequate care related to the immobilizer and brace management. The facility's failure to clarify care plan instructions and perform appropriate skin checks was noted.
