The investigation revealed the following: regarding the allegation “Staff did not prevent resident in care from sustaining multiple pressure injuries while in care.” Interviews conducted by Community Care Licensing-Investigations Branch corroborated this allegation. Records reviewed by Community Care Licensing-Investigations Branch revealed that R6 was discharged from a local hospital on 03/19/2025 with a Stage I coccyx pressure injury and R6 was admitted to the facility on 03/19/2025. Records reviewed by Community Care Licensing-Investigations Branch revealed that in April of 2025, R6's Home Health and R6's physician noted several pressure injuries had developed on R6’s feet, ranging from Stage II to unstageable, and R6’s coccyx pressure injury had progressed to Stage II. On 04/29/2025, R6 was taken to a local hospital due to worsening pressure injuries. During the examination of R6, attending physician noted the pressure injuries were likely caused by the care at the facility. Interview conducted by Community Care Licensing-Investigations Branch with R6's Home Health nurse revealed that R6’s pressure injuries continued to worsen and develop new pressure injuries due to the staff’s inability to follow repeated education and instructions on pressure injury care and that with frequent repositioning, R6’s pressure injuries “could have been avoided.” R6's Home Health nurse revealed that on one occasion, staff were observed applying cream to R6’s coccyx injury but staff did not apply the dressing to keep the area dry, as instructed. Interviews conducted by Community Care Licensing-Investigations Branch with facility staff revealed that staff were not repositioning R6 often as needed.
