Pressure Ulcer Issues at Facility
In a report from the MDH, it is alleged the alleged the Harbors Senior Living neglected to follow a resident’s service plan for skin care, resulting in the resident developing a pressure ulcer.
The Harbors Senior Living Failed to Follow Service Plan
The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was substantiated. The facility was responsible for the maltreatment. The facility did not have a system in place to ensure implementation of interventions recommended by a homecare agency for getting the resident out of bed, turning and repositioning the resident who was bedhound. The resident developed pressure ulcers on her bottom, and both legs. The facility further neglected to regularly assess the pressure ulcers, provide treatment of the pressure ulcers, or document about the pressure ulcers. The resident went to the hospital after staff accidentally ripped off a toenail and the pressure ulcers and toe wound were treated.
