These files contain the full narrative details of each nursing home deficiency cited regulators. The files include deficiencies from Standard Surveys (routine inspections) and from Complaint Surveys. Complete data begins January 2011 (although some earlier inspections do show up). Individual states are provides as CSV files. A very large (4.5GB) national file is also provided as a zipped archive. New data will be updated on a monthly basis. For additional documentation, please see the README.

This was observed on two of three days of the survey; and (2) RI #15 and RI #93, residents at risk of developing pressure ulcers, had cushion on the oxygen tubing behind their ears. This was observed on two of three days of the survey. These deficient practices affected RI #53, one of three residents sampled for pressure ulcers, and RI #15 and RI #93, two of three sampled residents using oxygen: Findings Include: (1) RI #53 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. RI #53's Pressure Ulcer care plan, with a Problem Onset date of 06/14/17, documented: . Approaches . * Apply heel protects to feet while in bed and float heels . A Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 02/21/18, identified RI #53 as being at risk for pressures ulcers.

The surveyor asked EI #12, according to RI #53's plan of care, what should be on RI #53's feet. EI #12 said heel protectors. When asked what was the rationale for RI #53 having on heel protectors, EI #12 replied, so RI #53's feet would be off the bed and it would release pressure from his/her heels.
