Summary
Facility staff failed to ensure that a resident received podiatry services as ordered. Medical record review showed that the resident, who had a history of significant atherosclerosis and was identified as needing professional foot and nail care to prevent infection or ulceration, was last seen by the podiatrist on 2/4/25. The podiatrist's evaluation indicated a follow-up appointment was scheduled for 4/8/25 for at-risk foot care. However, upon review of facility records and interviews with staff, it was confirmed that the resident was not seen by the podiatrist on the scheduled follow-up date, and there was no documentation of podiatry care provided after the last visit.
