Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure adequate supervision and monitoring
were maintained for one of six sampled residents (Resident 1) when staff did not verify Resident 1's
Wanderguard (a monitoring device that alerts staff when a resident approaches a restricted area and
attempts to exit a designated zone) placement every shift. This failure potentially contributed to Resident 1
leaving the facility on 4/7/25 without staffs' knowledge and placed Resident 1 at risk for
injury.Findings:During a review of Resident 1's clinical record titled, admission RECORD, the record
indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with multiple diagnoses including cerebral infarction (long
-term effect or complications following a stroke (blood supply to parts of the brain is blocked or reduced)
and type 2 diabetes mellitus (high levels of sugar in the blood).A review of Resident 1's clinical record titled,
Interdisciplinary Care Conference, (a meeting of a group of healthcare professionals for the purpose of
discussing, identifying, addressing, implementing, and reviewing plans to meet the needs regarding a
resident's care) dated 4/8/25, indicated that Resident 1's mother called the facility on 4/7/25 at 3:43 p.m. to
report that Resident 1 had contacted her stating that he had left the facility and was standing outside of the
bank. The facility activated an elopement (a resident leaving a healthcare facility without authorization or
staffs' knowledge) code and began searching for Resident 1 without success. On 4/7/25 at 4:23 p.m.,
Resident 1's mother returned him to the facility.During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/7/25,
at 3:46 p.m., with the Sub-acute Director (SUD), Resident 1's medical records were reviewed. The SUD
verified that staff had not followed the doctor's order verifying and documenting the placement and working
order of Resident 1's Wanderguard (when battery was low; it would show a red light on the strap that
indicated the battery needed to be replaced) every shift. The SUD verified that staff did not follow the
facility's policy and procedures for the Wanderguard system.During a concurrent interview and record
review on 8/7/25, at 4:16 p.m. with Licensed Nurse (LN) 1, Resident 1's Physician orders were reviewed. LN
1 stated that for residents who are using the Wanderguard system, staff are required to verify that it was
placed on the resident every shift. LN 1 confirmed that Resident 1's medical records contained a
physician's order directing staff to check the placement each shift; however, there was no documentation
showing the checks were completed by the staff. LN 1 stated that Resident 1 was placed at risk for injury if
he were to leave the facility undetected.Review of Resident 1's physician order, documented in the
electronic medical record titled, Order Summary, dated 4/7/25, at 6:05 p.m., indicated the physician ordered
staff to check Resident 1's Wanderguard placement every shift.During a concurrent interview and record
review on 8/8/25, at 9:13 a.m. with the Administrator (ADM), the ADM stated that her expectation was for
staff to verify placement of the Wanderguard each shift. The ADM confirmed that staff were not
documenting these placement checks as required by policy and as ordered by the doctor. The ADM further
stated that failure to follow this policy places Resident 1 at risk for elopement.During a concurrent interview
