Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate care for pressure ulcers and did not implement effective measures to prevent the development of new ulcers. This deficiency was identified through observations and record reviews that indicated lapses in the assessment, monitoring, and treatment of pressure ulcers for residents at risk. The report notes that the necessary interventions to prevent further skin breakdown were not consistently provided, and documentation of care was incomplete or missing in some cases.
