When a minor skin tear or a Stage 1 red spot escalates into a deep, life-threatening wound, it is rarely a medical mystery. It is usually a paper trail of missed opportunities.
Our team looks for the care gap in the facility’s records. We investigate:
▪️Turning Logs: Were they filled out in advance or is there a total absence of documentation?
▪️Nutrition Audits: Was the resident’s protein and fluid intake monitored to ensure the skin had the resources to heal?
▪️Equipment Failures: Did the facility provide the specialized air mattresses or offloading boots required by the care plan?
A Stage 4 wound is a painful, systemic failure that puts a resident at extreme risk for sepsis and further decline.
Your loved one deserved the hands-on care required to keep them safe.
