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 provided with adequate preventive care to avoid the formation of new pressure ulcers.
