**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to monitor and supervise one of three sampled residents
(Resident 8) by failing to ensure Resident 8 did not wander (to go about from place to place usually without
a plan or definite purpose) into other residents' rooms.
This failure had the potential to result in resident-to-resident altercation involving Resident 8 and had the
potential to cause injury/harm to Resident 8 and/or other residents.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 8's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility initially admitted
Resident 8 to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted Resident 8 on 12/8/23, with diagnoses that included
COVID-19 (minor to severe respiratory illness caused by a virus and spread from person to person),
unspecified psychosis (mental disorder causing disconnection from reality), and unspecified dementia with
other behavioral disturbance (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interfered with daily
functioning).
During a review of Resident 8's untitled Care Plan (CP) dated 10/10/23, the CP indicated Resident 8 was at
risk for wandering/elopement (leaving the facility without notice) with episodes of going to another
(resident's) room. The CP interventions indicated visual supervision will be rendered by staff at all times.
During a review of Resident 8's History & Physical (H&P), dated 10/12/23, the H&P, indicated Resident 8
did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Sheet (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning tool),
dated 4/15/24, the MDS indicated Resident 8 had severely impaired cognition (ability to think, learn,
remember, use judgement, and make decisions) required supervision or touching assistance to walk 50 to
150 feet and was independent to walk 10 feet.
During a review of Resident 8's untitled CP revised on 4/23/24, the CP indicated Resident 8 was an
elopement risk and was a wanderer. The CP interventions indicated visual check for safety precaution.
During an interview on 6/6/24 at 3:28 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated Resident
8 would go around the facility and look inside different residents' rooms. LVN 1 stated Resident 8 would
sometimes get stuff of other residents and touch other residents' blanket.
