MDSC 1 stated Resident 2 had a change in condition MDS on 12/31/24 because his health and function had declined significantly. MDSC 1 stated his decline was in cognition, bowel and bladder and ambulation. MDSC 1 stated Resident 2 ' s quarterly MDS had been completed on 11/23/24. The MDS Section GG was reviewed, MDSC 1 stated the MDS indicated he was independent with ambulation. Resident 2 ' s care plan for pain and unsteady gait dated 11/2/24 was reviewed. MDSC 1 stated the care plan indicated Resident 2 had poor balance and she would have expected the 11/23/24 MDS to be coded as needing supervision with ambulation. MDSC 1 stated Resident 2 ' s care plan indicated was unsteady when walking and he would have required supervision for safety. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/8/25 at 3:50 p.m. with MDSC 2 and MDSC 1, Resident 2 ' s MDS dated [DATE] and unsteady gait care plan dated 11/2/24 were reviewed. MDSC 2 stated she was unsure why she coded Resident 2 as independent with ambulation on 11/23/24 after the care plan indicated his gait was unsteady. MDSC 2 stated, I will have to go back to check the MDS and see what the CNAs documented [for ambulation]. MDSC 2 stated when she completed an MDS, she used the CNAs documentation to assess the level of assistance the residents required and sometimes she would check the residents herself. MDSC 2 stated, I can ' t remember, I think I did [observe the resident].

F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents received adequate supervision and assistance to prevent falls for two of five sampled residents (Residents 2 and 8) and to prevent elopement for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1) when: 1. Nursing staff were aware of Resident 2 ' s decline in functional status, poor safety awareness and need to be supervised while ambulating and failed to assign staff to supervise Resident 2. On 1/2/25 Resident 2 was left unsupervised, and he ambulated unassisted to the outdoor patio where he was found on the ground after an unwitnessed fall. This failure resulted in Resident 2 ' s fall on 1/2/25 sustaining a laceration (cut in the skin caused by an injury) above the left eyebrow requiring transportation to the emergency department (ED) for sutures (a row of stitches holding together edges of a wound) and placed him at risk for emotional distress due to his altered cognitive status (person ' s ability to process and understand information) from dementia (loss of cognitive functioning-thinking, remembering and reasoning). 2. Nursing staff were aware of Resident 8 ' s severe cognitive impairment, poor safety awareness and failed to implement effective supervision to prevent a history of falls. These failures resulted in Resident 8 suffering avoidable falls on the following dates: 10/13/24, 12/20/24, 12/29/24, 1/1/25, and 1/8/25 and placed the resident at risk of injury. 3. Facility staff were aware of Resident 1 ' s exit seeking behavior and high risk of elopement and failed to implement effective measures and assistive devices to prevent elopement. On 12/15/24 the elopement detection device failed to function and alarm and Resident 1 eloped undetected and unsupervised. This failure resulted in Resident 1 leaving the facility after dark into the surrounding neighborhood until a neighbor called the police who found the resident alone and confused placing Resident 1 at risk for injuries from cold exposure, being hit by a car or physical attack. Findings: 1. During an observation on 1/6/25 at 11:33 a.m. in the activities room, Resident 2 sat in a chair. Resident 2 had a sutured laceration above the left eyebrow with yellowish discoloration around the left eye. Resident 2 was confused and unable to verbalize what happened to his eye.
