This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure residents
were provided the supervision to prevent them
from wandering outside of the facility for one of
17 residents (Resident 1) and three of three
randomly sampled residents (Resident 2, 3 and
4). The facility did not monitor the elopement
alarm device functionality of Roam Alert (a
system that tracks the person using a wrist or
ankle bracelet which automatically alarms if the
person moves outside a defined area)
monitoring system for one of five door monitor
(main door). Resident 1 left the facility
undetected. Resident was found three miles
away from the facility and was returned to the
facility by the police after more than 24 hours
later.
This failure resulted in delay in identification of
the system malfunction and potentially placed
17 of 17 residents in the facility with Roam Alert
monitoring device (sensing tags) in serious
harm. It was determined to constitute an
Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation.
The Administrator (ADM) and the Director of
Nursing (DON) were verbally notified of the IJ
on 1/29/18 at 12:31 p.m. The facility failed to
ensure a fully functioning Roam Alert system
was maintained.
Through observations and interviews with the
staff members and record reviews of the
facility's in-service records, the facility showed
they initiated the plan of action through inservices of employees regarding Roam Alert
monitoring. The facility repaired the
nonfunctioning Roam Alert door monitor at the
front door. The IJ was lifted on 1/29/18 at 3:10
p.m.
