- Alleged Victim (AV) came to the facility with a stage three pressure wound. Home health gave instructions for facility staff to follow to assist AV with his/her wound care. Staff were to apply medication ointment to AV's wounds, reposition AV frequently, and ensure AV was changed often to keep his/her wound dry. An investigation determined this was not done consistently, resulting in AV's wounds getting worse. The facility failed to follow AV's care plan which is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
