During an interview on 06/28/23 at 09:18 AM with Staff B, a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), regarding resident's food choices, Staff B stated, as CNAs, they don't really know about the residents' diet.

She stated, she had seen they sent her boiled eggs and sometimes scrambled eggs, muffin, flat bread, jelly and other choices of food before.

They used to give me boiled eggs before, but after I talked to her, I've only been receiving fried or scrambled eggs. I don't eat them. It's a waste. I never tell them I want scrambled or fried eggs. I only asked to send me some salt with the egg. On 06/28/23 at 02:28 PM, the Dietitian stated, I think it was a miscommunication. Yes, I spoke to her, and she told me about the salt.

Interview on 05/25/22 at 11:47 with Staff A, she reported she has been doing wound care for six months in the facility. Staff A stated this resident has been in this facility for years, she has a sacral wound, stage 4 that has reopened, treatment is to clean the sacral wound with wound cleaner, apply Santyl and cover with Alginate and dry dressing. This resident wound is getting better, but it is taking time to heal because she cannot sit for long periods of time because of the pressure on the wounds. We make sure she is being turned often, not less than every 2 hours, I check to make sure the resident is facing a different direction after 2 hours to ensure the Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) and direct care staff are turning this resident. [V ] wound care comes to the facility once a week, every Tuesday, I do rounds with the [V ] team, the Wound Care Physician (MD) measures all wounds, assess the wounds, and gives recommendations as needed. We access the [V ] notes to see what new orders or treatment the wound care MD orders, there are two wound care nurses and one of us is always working, and we have two other nurses that have experience with wound care that can cover if needed.
