Can a manager retain a resident with a stage three or four pressure sore if certain conditions are met?

A manager can retain a resident with a stage three or four pressure sore under specific conditions, aligning with the regulations and best practices in assisted living facilities. In such cases, it's essential to have a comprehensive care plan that includes active management of the wound, regular assessments, and appropriate interventions to facilitate healing.

This decision would also require collaboration with healthcare professionals to ensure that the resident’s care is effectively coordinated and that they are receiving the necessary medical attention. Additionally, the facility must demonstrate that it is capable of providing the appropriate level of care and monitoring to manage the resident's condition effectively, taking into consideration their overall health status and quality of life.

This approach is necessary to ensure the safety and health of the residents, as well as compliance with regulations that govern care standards in assisted living environments.
