32 | Excellent Home Health and the Wound Rescue Specialist coordinated their efforts, with the Wound Rescue Specialist visiting (R1) once a week. . According to (S2-S5), the staff is trained to reposition residents every two to three hours and provide hygiene and incontinence care. However, (S1) also mentioned that staff do not receive assistance with wound care, as this is left to the Wound Rescue Specialist and Excellent Home Health.
(S2) stated that they are responsible for training the staff to spot pressure injuries. (S2) instructs the staff to look for signs, such as redness or blisters, on the skin before an open wound. If staff see these symptoms, they must inform the administrator. The administrator will then contact the primary physician and family representatives to obtain a referral for home health or hospice services.
Additionally, (S1) could not provide any documentation from Excellent Home Health or Wound Rescue Specialist, incident reports, or wound care related to (R1's) pressure injuries. As a result, (R1) continues to experience pressure injuries due to poor circulation, having been bedbound.

Two out of two witnesses confirmed this claim. During weekly wound care visits (W2 and W3), treatment was provided for (R1), who had pressure injuries classified as Stage 3, Stage 4, and unstageable, which are prohibited health conditions.
