Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to implement a comprehensive care plan that meets the
care/services based on the resident's individual assessed needs for one of five sampled residents
(Resident 1 [R1]) by failing to ensure that a comprehensive CP was implemented for R1 risk for elopement
(leaving the facility unsupervised and without staff knowledge).

Findings:
A review of R1's admission Record indicated R1 was originally admitted to the facility 8/17/2021 and was
readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - a group of
lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe), metabolic encephalopathy (a disease in
which the functioning of the brain is affected by some agent or condition-such as viral infection or toxins in
the blood), and schizophrenia (a disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly).
A review of R1's History and Physical dated 10/18/2023, indicated R1 does not have the capacity to
understand and make decisions.

tool), dated 5/30/2024, indicated R1's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding) skills for daily decision-making were moderately impaired and required assistance from staff
with walking and R1 does not use a wheelchair.
A review of R1's Wandering & Elopement Risk Assessment, dated 10/18/2023 indicated, R1 is a moderate
actual risk with recent observable evidence of wandering that involves wandering that is not easily ended or
diverted. The Wandering & Elopement Risk Assessment on 10/18/2023 also indicated, R1 had a history of
elopement and being a wanderer.
A review of R1's Care Plan for episodes of elopement and aggressive behavior, initiated on 10/17/2023 and
