Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent the development of new ulcers. This deficiency was identified through surveyor observations and review of care practices, which revealed that the necessary interventions to manage existing pressure ulcers and prevent new ones were not consistently implemented for affected residents. The report notes that residents with pressure ulcers did not receive the required care to promote healing and prevent further skin breakdown, indicating lapses in the facility's pressure ulcer management protocols.
