Short Summary

Two residents in an LTC facility experienced delays in the identification and documentation of skin issues. One resident developed an abdominal pressure ulcer that was not documented until it showed signs of infection, despite having a care plan for skin prevention.

The facility's reliance on CNAs for reporting and lack of scheduled skin assessments contributed to these deficiencies.
