However, R1 has a wound on their right ankle that originated as a pimple and was frequently scratched by R1, resulting in an open wound. R1 is seen by their hospice nurse two (2) times per week and by a wound care specialist two (2) times per week, during which the wound is treated. Interview with R1 revealed that they have had a metal plate in their right ankle for many years. They developed a pimple-like bump on the ankle, which they repeatedly scratched, leading to an exposed wound. R1 is currently seen by a nurse three (3) to four (4) times per week for wound care.

Record review confirmed that R1 has been on hospice care since 10/29/2025 and is seen by a wound care specialist two (2) times per week. Wound care is documented in R1’s care plan. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is insufficient evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegation of Staff does not ensure resident does not sustain pressure injuries is deemed unsubstantiated at this time.

The POA stated they have no concerns regarding R1’s medication management. Record review indicated that R1 does not have any medications requiring refrigeration. Medication audit showed that R1’s medications are properly labeled and checked for expiration dates.

Medications reviewed were found to be self-administered as prescribed and accurately documented on the centrally stored medication and destruction records. No errors were observed during the review.Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is insufficient evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegation of Staff is mismanaging resident's medications is deemed unsubstantiated at this time. Exit interview conducted. Report was reviewed and a copy was provided.
