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 surveyor observations and documentation review, which indicated that residents either did not receive necessary interventions for existing pressure ulcers or were not monitored and assessed adequately to prevent new pressure ulcers from forming.
