The facility failed to provide appropriate services according to Alleged Victim's (AV) care needs concerning AV's skin impairment.

As a result of this failure, AV did not receive an appropriate treatment plan from AV's medical provider until after AV returned from visiting Witness 1 (W1) on December 7, 2023. The facility's failure resulted in AV's unreasonable discomfort, which is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
