§483.12(c)(4) Report the results of all
investigations to the administrator or his or her
designated representative and to other officials
in accordance with State law, including to the
State Survey Agency, within 5 working days of
the incident, and if the alleged violation is
verified appropriate corrective action must be
taken.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to report and investigate an
incident of elopement for 1 of 6 sampled
residents (Resident 1) to the authorities as
required by State law.
This failure had the potential for the further
elopement attempts and increased the potential
for harm to Resident 1.
Findings:
According to the 'Record of Admission' the
facility admitted Resident 1 less than a year
ago with multiple diagnoses which included
dementia. A significant change in status
assessment dated 9/5/18 indicated Resident 1
had short-term and long-term memory
problems.
A report received by the Department on
11/16/18 indicated Resident 1 had been seen
by a neighbor, crawling on the ground outside
of the facility on 11/13/18 and when the staff
had been notified they had stated, "Well she
does that all the time."
Resident 1's clinical record was reviewed as

An elopement risk care plan 2/21/18 and

During an interview with the Administrator on
12/3/18 at 12:45 p.m., she stated Resident 1
had eloped on 11/13/18 after dinner and was
brought back to the facility by a neighbor
around 8-8:10 p.m. The Administrator further
stated Resident 1 often exited the facility
through the lobby doors but she had never
gone beyond the facility's premises. The
Administrator stated Resident 1 was not
wearing an alarmed device when she eloped
on 11/13/18.
A review of the facility's 'Wandering, Unsafe
Resident' policy, dated 8/2014, indicated, "The
facility will strive to prevent unsafe wandering
while maintaining the least restrictive
environment for residents who are at risk for
elopement."
The policy failed to direct staff on the reporting
requirements.

This failure resulted in Resident 1 sustaining a
head injury and was sent to the emergency
room. Additionally, this failure placed the
Resident 1 at high risk of being hit by vehicles
on the busy street next to the facility had she
attempted to cross the road.
