Bethesda Home

408 E MAIN PO BOX 37

AI-Generated Summary

State inspectors found that staff failed to follow a surgeon's orders for a resident recovering from leg and shoulder fractures — the orders required keeping the original surgical dressing clean, dry, and in place, and calling the surgeon with any concerns. Instead, when a nurse found the dressing saturated with drainage on June 1, 2025, she changed the dressing without notifying the surgeon. By June 6, staff discovered dozens of maggots in the resident's surgical wound, and the resident had to be sent to the emergency room. The facility could not produce a policy on following physicians' orders for surgical wound care. One violation was cited (severity level D, meaning potential for more than minimal harm), and the report does not indicate whether corrective actions have been completed.
