Resident 1 left the facility undetected on 4/29/19 and was found in the bushes in front of the facility parking lot. Resident 1 was returned to the facility by a family representative at 1 a.m. on 4/30/19. This failure resulted in the delay in identification of the system malfunction and exposed four of four residents in the facility with wander management monitoring device (sensing tags) to risk of serious harm. It was determined to constitute an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation. The Administrator was verbally notified of the IJ on 5/9/19 at 8:04 p.m. The facility failed to ensure a fully functioning Wander guard alert system was maintained. Through observations and interviews with the staff members and record reviews of the facility's training records, the facility showed they initiated the plan of action through training of employees regarding Wander guard alert system monitoring. The facility replaced the nonfunctioning Wander guard alert door monitor at Door 8. The IJ was lifted on 5/9/19 at 10:30 p.m.. Findings: Review of Resident 1's undated "Face Sheet" showed Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on 3/14/19.

Further review of the MDS showed Resident 1 had severely impaired cognition and that Resident 1 required supervision when ambulating (walking) in corridor. Review of the "Elopement Risk Assessment" dated 3/23/19 showed Resident 1 was at risk for elopement. Review of Resident 1's care plan for "At risk for elopement and wandering out of facility" dated 3/23/19 showed an approach that included wearing a Wander guard bracelet and to check the alarm for functioning. Review of the "Physician's Order Report" dated 3/23/19 showed "Wander guard bracelet on left wrist for elopement precautions. Monitor for proper placement and battery function every shift." Review of Resident 1's "Progress notes" dated 4/29/19 9:00 p.m., showed Resident 1 was on 15 minutes' watch, Registered Nurse (RN 1) was not able to "locate Resident 1's whereabouts at 8:30 p.m.." Review of Resident 1's "Progress notes" dated 4/30/19 1:00 a.m., showed Resident 1 returned to the facility accompanied by "family representative ... found him walking around the bushes in the parking lot." Resident 1 kept stating "he needs to clean the bushes and weeds... I am cold but I will see you tomorrow. I need to work now." During an interview with RN 1 on 5/9/19 at 8:14 p.m., RN 1 stated she was the nurse in charge for Resident 1 on 5/9/19.

Review of "AccuWeather Forecast" for facility's location on 4/29/19 and 4/30/19 showed the low (nighttime) temperature range was between "50 and 48 degrees Fahrenheit." During an observation accompanied by facility's Supplies Director (SD 1) on 5/9/19 at 5:88 p.m., SD 1 used a brand new Wander guard bracelet labeled 'do not use after 5/24/20' to go through Door 8 and the Wander guard alarm sensor did not sound. SD 1 indicated Door 8 had another back up alarm system as well, but that did not sound either. SD 1 further showed Door 8 opens in the back patio, which had another door, which was unlocked as well. Back Patio door had a way out to get to the front parking lot. During a second observation on 5/9/19 at 6:10 p.m., SD 1 held the same type of Wander Guard bracelet that was worn by Resident 1 and walked out of Door 8. The Wander Guard alarm sensor and back up alarm did not sound. SD 1 stated, "the Maintenance Director (MD 1) is responsible for checking the Wander guard system. Door 8 was used a lot by the employees, and they had to make sure the back up alarm was armed, otherwise it wouldn't go off."

MD 1 stated his responsibility was to check the Wander Guard Alert system during weekdays. MD 1 stated he failed to perform the monitor check on 5/9/19.
