Overview

Marwood Manor Nursing Home has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good option for care, but not without its concerns. It ranks #43 out of 422 facilities in Michigan, placing it in the top half, and is the best option out of five in St. Clair County. The facility is on an improving trend, with issues decreasing from six in 2024 to two in 2025. Staffing is a strength, with a 5/5 star rating and a low turnover rate of 30%, which is better than the state average. However, there were serious concerns noted, including a failure to prevent a resident's pressure ulcer and unsafe transportation practices that led to a fracture. Additionally, a resident fell while being assisted, resulting in a vertebral fracture, highlighting the need for improved safety measures. Overall, while Marwood Manor has some strong points, potential residents and their families should be aware of these serious incidents.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to timely assess and implement interventions to prevent a right heel pressure ulcer for one (R54) of two residents reviewed for skin concerns resulting in the development of a stage three (full thickness tissue loss without visible bone, tendon or muscle) pressure ulcer. Findings include:Review of the facility record for R54 revealed admission into the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Status-Post Right Hip Fracture with Surgical Repair, Diabetes Mellitus, and Difficulty in Walking. The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated R54 required Maximal Assistance (caregiver provides more than half the effort) for bed mobility and the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15/15 indicated intact cognition. The record also indicated R54 currently had a facility-acquired pressure ulcer.Review of R54's hospital discharge documents revealed a Skin Assessment-Wound Documentation report dated 02/17/25 which indicated right hip surgical incision, left arm rash and no findings otherwise. Review of the facility Clinical admission Nursing assessment dated [DATE] revealed the skin notation Multiple areas of discoloration (rash-like) to right arm and bilateral thighs. Surgical dressing right hip. No notation pertaining to the right heel was identified. On the body part-specific checklist where a check mark indicates a problem area, the right foot and right heel boxes were not checked. Review of R54's Braden Scale of pressure ulcer risk dated 02/17/25 revealed a score of 18 with the resident categorized as At Risk.On 07/29/25 at 12:15 PM, R54 was interviewed in their room and asked about any pressure ulcers they may have developed since coming to the facility. R54 stated When I got here the bed I was in was too short. I'm 6'2 and the bed had a footboard at the end that my feet pushed up against. My feet only stayed off the footboard if I stayed perfectly flat and didn't move. It made it especially hard to move my right leg that the surgery was done on. R54 was asked if they discussed the bed with staff and they stated Yes, I know I talked to a maintenance guy about it, and they told me they couldn't take the footboard off. They eventually ended up getting me a different bed that was bigger and didn't have a footboard. R54 was not able to recall how long they were in the original bed.On 07/30/25 at 10:18 AM, R54 was interviewed in their room regarding the impact of the onset and ongoing treatment for the right heel wound. R54 became tearful and reported when they came to the facility they expected to do therapy for a few weeks after the right hip surgery then return home to their spouse. R54 reported they felt their progress with physical therapy was slowed due to weight bearing restrictions and use of an off-loading boot on the right foot due to the wound. They also indicated they have subsequently received intravenous (IV) antibiotic treatments for potential infection in the wound which they feel prolonged their stay. R54 reported feeling depressed and stated I've had at least four panic attacks now. I've had trouble when they talk about the wound not healing. I would get short of breath, and I thought I was having a heart attack. On 07/30/25 at 10:41 AM, Registered Nurse (RN) C was interviewed and reported they did recall R54 from the initial period of their admission. RN C reported they recalled R54 receiving a larger bed following their admission and stated, I think I may have ordered the bed but I'm not sure. RN C reported they could not recall having assessed or identified R54's right heel pressure ulcer prior to the bed being requested.On 07/30/25 at 12:20 AM, the facility Maintenance Director (MD) was interviewed and reported they could not recall having a conversation with R54 about their bed but agreed to check their work order record. The MD provided documentation of the work order being requested by RN C and completed on 02/24/25.On 07/30/25 at 01:50 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) E reported they were the facility wound care nurse. LPN E reported they became aware of R54's right heel wound on 02/24/25 via the resident's floor nurse. They reported the concern about the resident's feet pushing up against the footboard was identified and they reported it to maintenance then wound prevention and care interventions were ordered and care planned. LPN E reported that the right heel wound was assessed to be a stage three pressure ulcer upon their initial assessment. LPN E acknowledged that there was no indication in the admission nursing assessment that any concerning right heel condition was present.Review of R54's care plan revealed preventive pressure ulcer interventions were initiated 02/25/25 and were not initiated upon admission or upon completion of the admission Braden pressure ulcer risk assessment. Review of R54's current wound care record verified the right heel wound has remained at a stage three with varying levels of improvement and decline regarding size measurements.On 07/30/25 at 02:05 PM, the facility Director of Nursing (DON) was interviewed and asked about why R54 was admitted on [DATE] with no skin concerns identified with the right heel and remained in bed in which their feet were up against the footboard for seven days, during which there was no identification of the developing pressure ulcer. The DON acknowledged there appeared to be no record of the resident's feet/heels being checked between the admission assessment and identification of the wound on 02/24/25. The DON reported their expectation is staff would have provided direct care such as bathing, donning/doffing of socks, etc. on multiple occasions during that seven-day period and the developing wound should have been identified and reported. The DON reported the facility completes pre-admission assessment of resident's height and weight to determine an appropriate bed size and therefore, their expectation is the resident would have been provided an appropriately sized bed and also that staff should have identified that the bed was too short prior to the identification of the pressure ulcer on the seventh day of admission.Review of the facility policy Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Management dated 07/2023 revealed the following:The facility shall establish and utilize a systematic approach for pressure injury prevention and management, including prompt assessment and treatment; intervening to stabilize, reduce or remove underlying risk factors .Examples of risk factors include but are not limited to: Impaired/decreased mobility or functional ability, co-morbid conditions such as Diabetes Mellitus.Nursing assistants will inspect skin during bath and daily care and will report any concerns to resident's nurse immediately.Interventions will be implemented according to the Braden risk score: (15-18) Heels: Pillows/Float heels.

The DON was asked if R42 had the understanding to make that decision. The DON stated, [R42] is pleasantly confused. The DON was asked what the facility's expectation is in a situation like this. The DON explained, that the CNA could have re-approached or asked R42 to self-propel to see the ducks instead of pushing the wheelchair without the footrest. On 7/11/24 at 1:04 PM, CNA K was interviewed via phone and was asked about the incident with R42.

On 5/3/23 at 12:15 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) was interviewed. The DON was queried regarding the expectation for documentation of the provision of restorative services. The DON indicated that if restorative is ordered daily, that she would expect daily documentation.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based up interview and record review, the facility failed to document a 14-day stop date and to either discharge or document rationale for an order extension of an as needed (PRN) psychotropic medication upon conclusion of the initial 14 day period for five (R12, R26, R57, R84, R99) of eight residents reviewed for psychotropic medication use, resulting in the potential for unneccessary medication use and adverse side-effects. Findings include: R57 Review of the facility record for R57 revealed an admission date of 01/16/17 with diagnoses that included Diabetes Mellitus, Osteoarthritis, Peripheral Vascular Disease and Depression. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated R57 required primarily Maximum/Total Assistance for self care and mobility tasks. The Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) assessment score of 9/15 indicated Moderate cognitive impairment. Review of R57's active status physician orders revealed an order for Lorazepam 0.5 MG dated 03/17/23 with the description Give one tablet by mouth every four hours as needed (PRN) for Anxiety/restlessness. The End Date column of the order was not populated. Review of the pharmacy Controlled Substance Prescription related to this order and also dated 3/17/23 indicated no stop date. Further review of R57's EMR revealed no documentation of rationale for or extension of the Lorazepam order. Review of the facility policy titled Use of Psychotropic Medication dated 10/26/18 revealed under the heading Responsible Party - Actions Required: the entry 7. Orders for PRN psychotropic medications will be time limited to 14 days, but can be extended beyond 14 days with the prescribing practitioner's documented rationale and duration. On 05/03/23 at 12:25 PM, the facility's Director of Nursing (DON) reported that the expectation for a PRN anti-anxiety medication order is that the 14 day stop date be specified in the electronic medical record (EMR) and that an order that has exceeded the 14 days and has not been extended by the physician would be discharged and removed from active status in the EMR. The DON reported that although the expanded version of the EMR order indicates the 14 day limit on the order, this does not auto-populate the end date column for the order and the end date should be manually entered to support compliance. R12 On 5/1/23 at 10:39 AM, R12 was observed in bed sleeping. R12 was observed in bed for the duration of the survey with one exception where they were observed sitting in their geri-chair eating snacks.

LPN F explained that there is usually no indication that R84 is going to act out and if it happens, it happens, Out of nowhere .and like a light switch. LPN F stated that today, during a group exercise activity, R84 was participating normally but then began yelling out of nowhere. LPN F stated that the group leader (another resident) calmly thanked R84 for participating and ended the exercise group. LPN F added that R84 then said that they wanted to go lay down in their bed. LPN F stated, That was probably the best thing for [R84], it gave [the resident] a minute to have some calm and quiet.

Further review of R84's physician orders indicated that a consult to psychiatric services was ordered on 4/6/23. The facility was asked to provide psych services notes for R84 and a signed consent/documented consent for the administration of Ativan to R84. On 5/2/23 at 4:21 PM, the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) indicated that the resident had not yet been seen by psych due to a lack of signed consent for psych services. The NHA also indicated that a signed consent for the Ativan was not required per the facility's policy, therefore, one was not provided. A review of R84's May MAR on 5/3/23 revealed that the resident was administered Ativan PRN on 5/3/23 at 9:35 AM. Record review did not reveal documentation of the reason for the Ativan administration, nor documentation of non-pharmacological interventions attempted prior to administration. R99 On 5/1/23 at 10:27 AM, R99 was observed lying in bed. The resident indicated they were comfortable and had no current concerns. The resident was unable to appropriately respond to further interview questions. A brief review of the resident's record revealed that the resident recently started receiving hospice services. Continued review of the resident's record revealed that the R99 was admitted into the facility on 2/14/23 with medical diagnoses of Heart Disease, Chronic Kidney Disease, Respiratory Failure, Anxiety Disorder, and Cognitive Communication Deficit.

On 5/3/23 at 10:55 AM, Social Worker (SW) G was interviewed and queried regarding medications such as Ativan or Xanax requiring consent for administration. SW G indicated she believes consents are to be obtained for all psychotropic medications. SW G was then queried regarding her role in ensuring residents are seen by psych services. SW G indicated that she recalled being told about a consult for R84 but would have to check on what has caused the delay. On 5/3/2023 at 10:40 AM, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) was queried regarding observed PRN anxiolytic orders without stop dates. The ADON responded that it is an ongoing challenge and part of the education with nurses. The ADON added that between herself and the pharmacy, they try to catch them. The ADON stated that the physicians are aware of the 14 day stop-date requirement and have been educated. On 5/3/23 at 12:00 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) was interviewed and queried regarding the process for obtaining consent for the administration of anxiolytic medications such as Ativan or Xanax. The DON indicated that the facility only requires a signed consent for antipsychotic medications. The DON did confirm that PRN anti-anxiety medications, such as those for R84 and R99, should have a stop date on the order. The DON was then asked to review the record in relation to the PRN Ativan administration to R84 at 9:35 AM. The DON indicated that non-pharmacological interventions should be documented prior to administration and typically they can be found on the MAR. A review of R84's progress notes, MAR, and Treatment Administration Record (TAR) with the DON found no documented non-pharmacological interventions for R84 prior to the PRN Ativan administration. A review of the facility's policy/procedure titled, Behavioral Health Services, Management and Monitoring, revised October 2022, revealed, .Facility staff will implement person-centered care approaches designed to meet the individual goals and needs of each resident, which includes non-pharmacological interventions. The effectiveness of each non-pharmacological intervention, on identified problematic behaviors, will be documented in the EMR. Interventions that are assessed as ineffective will be revised or discontinued and, if feasible, new non-pharmacological approaches/interventions will be attempted .If non-pharmacological approached are ineffective, the resident's primary physician may be contacted to assess and address the problematic behaviors, which may include nursing staff obtaining a doctor's order for 'Psych consult and treat'. The social worker will obtain a signed consent from resident or responsible party in order for the consult to occur with the appropriate psychiatric services .
