Not transfer or discharge a resident without an adequate reason; and must provide documentation and
convey specific information when a resident is transferred or discharged.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of three closed
record sampled residents reviewed for discharges (Resident 1) was properly discharged from the facility
after his elopement.
* Resident 1 was found after his elopement from the facility and transported to an acute hospital for
evaluation. Resident 1 was cleared to transfer back to the facility; however, the facility denied Resident 1's
readmission. This failure had the potential to place Resident 1 at risk for decline in his health condition if
placed inappropriately.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Transfer or Discharge Documentation revised 12/2026 showed when a
resident is transferred or discharged from the facility, the following information will be documented in the
medical record: a. the basis for the transfer or discharge; if the resident is being transferred or discharged
because his or her needs cannot be met at the facility, documentation will include: the specific resident
needs that cannot be met, the facility's attempt to meet those needs, and the receiving facility's services
that are available to meet those needs. Should the resident be transferred or discharged for any of the
following reasons, the basis for the transfer or discharge will be documented in the resident's clinical record
by the resident's attending physician: the transfer or discharge is necessary for the resident's welfare, and
the resident's needs cannot be met in the facility.
On 5/21/24 at 0810 hours, an interview was conducted with Resident 1's responsible party. Resident 1's
responsible party stated the facility refused to readmit Resident 1 since Resident 1 had eloped from the
facility twice. Resident 1's responsible party further stated the facility told him that Resident 1 needed to be
in a lock-down unit facility.
Closed medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 5/21/24. Resident 1 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE], and discharged on 5/18/24.
Review of Resident 1's MDS dated [DATE], showed Resident 1 had moderately impaired cognitive skills for
daily decision making.
Review of Resident 1's MDS dated [DATE], showed Resident 1 had an unplanned discharge. The MDS
Entry/discharge reporting section showed discharged assessment - return anticipated.

with the resident, had no revision at this time, and to continue with the current plan of care.
Review of Resident 1's Social Service Review dated 5/15/24, showed Resident 1's discharge plan was to
be discharged home with home health services, and the social services would continue to provide the 1:1
(one on one) visit and ensure the safe discharge.
Review of Resident 1's Progress Notes showed the following nursing documentation:
- on 5/18/24 at 1224 hours, the RN notified the Administrator, DON, and Resident 1's physician of Resident
1's elopement event.
- on 5/20/24 at 1808 hours, the RN received call from the police officer notifying the facility that Resident 1
was found in an apartment complex. The RN documentation further showed the police officer requested

transferred to the nearest ED for further evaluation.
- on5/21/24 at 0130 hours, the RN received a call from the staff of Acute Hospital B, and per the Acute
Hospital B staff, Resident 1 was seen and evaluated by the ED physician and gave an okay for Resident 1
to go back to the facility and if agreeable to accept the resident back. The DON was made aware of the call.
The RN documentation further showed the DON instructed the RN to inform the hospital staff of Resident 1
needing a locked facility as Resident 1 had already eloped twice from the facility and it was not safe for the
resident to go back to the facility.
Further review of Resident 1's closed medical record failed to show an IDT meeting was conducted to
discuss the facility's inability to meet Resident 1's needs and failed to show a physician's note documenting
the basis and/or need for Resident 1's discharge.
On 5/21/24 at 1422 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. When asked about the protocol when
a resident was found after elopement, the DON stated the resident would be taken to the ED to get
evaluated for any injuries. Once the resident was medically cleared, the facility would coordinate the
resident's transfer back to the facility. The DON stated the resident was not accepted back to the facility if
the facility was not capable of providing care to the resident.
On 6/5/24 at 0923 hours, a follow-up interview and concurrent closed medical record review was conducted
with the DON. The DON was asked about the protocol for the facility-initiated discharges. The DON stated
for the facility-initiated discharges, the IDT would discuss with the physician for the determination of the
resident's discharge. The DON verified on 5/21/24, he was informed Resident 1 was cleared for the transfer
from Acute Hospital B back to the facility. The DON verified he informed the nurse Resident 1 needed to be
at a locked facility. The DON stated the facility was unable to meet Resident 1's care needs in the facility.
When asked what services the facility was unable to provide to meet the care needs of Resident 1, the
DON stated the facility was unable to keep Resident 1 within the building and prevent Resident 1 from
leaving unsupervised. When asked for the documentation if an IDT meeting was conducted to discuss the
facility's inability to meet Resident 1's care needs or the physician's documentation of the facility not able to
meet Resident 1's need, the DON stated there was no documentation.
On 6/5/24 at 1519 hours, the Administrator and DON were informed and acknowledged the above findings.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled
residents reviewed for elopement (Resident 1) was provided adequate supervision and necessary services
to prevent elopement.
* The facility failed to monitor Resident 1's whereabouts, resulting in Resident 1 leaving the facility
undetected twice.
* The facility failed to reassess Resident 1 for elopement risk as per the IDT's recommendations after an
elopement episode.
* The facility failed to monitor Resident 1 for his exiting behaviors.
These failures placed Resident 1 at risk to not receive the appropriate care and services and placed the
resident at risk for harm or injury.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Wandering and Elopements (undated) showed the facility will identify the
residents who are at risk of unsafe wandering and strive to prevent harm while maintaining the least
restrictive environment for the residents.
Review of the facility P&P titled Tab Alarms, Bed Alarms, Wanderguard System (undated) showed the
Wanderguard would be used for residents at risk for elopement. Nursing assessment of each resident must
be done on admission and change in status to evaluate if he/she is at risk for falls or elopement. A plan of
care must be formulated with the Interdisciplinary Team to determine the need for tab or bed alarms or
Wanderguard bracelet and document in the Care Plan. The Wanderguard bracelet will be applied to the
resident's wrist or ankle and not removed until replacement is needed. The Wanderguard bracelets are
checked daily by the Licensed Nurse and documented in resident record.
Review of the TL-4005SYS Depart Alert Anti-Wandering Door System Installation and Use Instructions
dated 7/12/22, showed the Smart Caregiver Corporation devices designed to be installed by the end user.

Further, the system is not designed to replace good caregiving practices including, but not limited to direct
patient supervision, adequate training for staff personnel for fall prevention and elopement and testing of
the system before each use. The Warning statement showed thedevice is not a substitute for visual
monitoring by a caregiver.
Closed medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 5/21/24. Resident 1 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and discharged on 5/18/24.
Review of Resident 1's MDS dated [DATE], showed Resident 1 had moderately impaired cognitive skills for
daily decision making.
