(a)(1) A resident is given the appropriate
treatment and services to maintain or improve
his or her ability to carry out the activities of
daily living, including those specified in
paragraph (b) of this section.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, staff and family
interviews, and record review, the facility failed
to provide Restorative Nursing Aide (RNA)
(trained certified nursing assistants who carry
out a maintenance program established and
ordered by a physician to maximize the
resident's existing abilities) therapy to maintain
or improve the resident's ability to carry out
activities of daily living for two of 19 sampled
residents (Resident 2 and Resident 4) when:
1. Resident 2's RNA therapy was not done five
times a week as ordered which resulted in five
RNA treatments out of 15 ordered treatments
completed in a three week period.
2. Resident 4's RNA therapy was not carried
out five times a week per physician's order.
These failures had the potential to result in a
decline of the resident's ability to achieve and
maintain the highest practicable level of
functioning.
Findings:
1. On 7/27/17 at 10:00 a.m., during a resident
room observation, Resident 2 laid in bed and
visited with a family member (FM). The resident
was clean and well groomed. Located at the
foot of Resident 2's bed sat a large high

On 7/27/17 at 10:10 a.m., during an interview,
the FM stated Resident 2 had not received
RNA as ordered by the resident's physician.
The FM stated the physician ordered the RNA
five times a week and the resident received
treatments three times a week or less. The FM
stated the resident did not tolerate being up in
the wheelchair and tired easily by afternoon.
The FM stated the resident preferred the RNA
be done in the morning when he was up and
out of bed. The FM stated Resident 2's RNA
consisted of using the stationary bicycle in the
therapy room which exercised his upper and
lower extremities. The FM stated she was
concerned the resident would have a further
decline in his physical strength and mobility if
the RNA was not done as ordered. The FM
stated prior to the resident's stroke, the two of
them went on walks almost daily.
On 7/27/17 at 1:30 p.m., during an interview,
Restorative Nurse Aid (RNA) 1 stated Resident
2 had RNA treatments ordered five times a
week. RNA 1 stated Resident 2, "probably gets
RNA three time a week." RNA 1 stated
Resident 2's RNA treatments needed to be
done in the morning.
On 7/27/17 at 1:55 p.m., during an interview,
the Director of Nursing (DON) stated she had
talked to Resident 2's wife and was aware the
resident did not receive RNA treatments five
times a week. The DON stated Resident 2 and
his wife preferred to have the RNA treatments
in the morning. The DON stated "That is my
responsibility, we (the facility) can do better to
accommodate resident preference (and provide
therapy)."

required by facility policy and procedure.
These failures resulted in a fall with injuries
[right hip fracture, a right arm fracture, and a
hand laceration (cut)] during an elopement by
Resident 20.
Findings:
On 12/20/16 at 3:45 p.m., during an interview,
the Administrator (Admin) stated Resident 20
had a history of constantly seeking to elope.
The Admin stated the facility had been working
for the past year on locating a locked facility
placement for Resident 20 due to elopement
attempts. The Admin stated Resident 20
eloped from the facility on 12/14/16 and had a
fall with injuries. The Admin stated Resident 20
required rehabilitation (physical and
occupational therapy to help the resident regain
strength and functional abilities) after having
sustained a fractured hip during the fall.
On 12/20/16 at 4:03 p.m., during an
observation and concurrent interview at the
nurses station, Resident 20 sat in a wheel chair
with a soft cast on her right arm. Resident 20
had difficulty staying awake during the
interview and stated she had been given pain
medication that made her drowsy. Resident 20
stated she knew she had a fall and broke her
hip, but did not remember the incident.
On 12/20/16 at 4:29 p.m., during an interview,
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 4 stated
Resident 20 had a history of elopement
attempts. CNA 4 stated Resident 20 usually
tried to leave the building through the exit door
at the end of the "short hallway." CNA 4 stated

CNA 4 stated Resident 20 had to pass those
alarms on 12/14/16, the day she eloped from
the facility. CNA 4 stated, "I don't know how
[Resident 20] passed the wander guard sensor
and exit door alarm."
On 12/20/16 at 4:35 p.m., during an interview,
Licensed Nurse (LN) 3 stated on 12/14/16, she
observed Resident 20 walking back and forth
down the "short hall" several times pushing her
wheelchair. LN 3 stated she heard Resident 20
say repeatedly, "I want to see my kids." LN 3
stated Resident 20 had passed the area where
there was a wander guard sensor. LN 3 stated
she heard the alarm sound and redirected
Resident 20 away from the sensor. LN 3 stated
she last saw Resident 20 around 4 p.m.
walking toward the employee exit door. LN 3
stated, "All shifts should check the wander
guard alarm [for proper function]. Make sure
the button [on the alarm sensor] is fully pushed
in." LN 3 stated Resident 20 was "very
independent prior to elopement." LN 3 stated
prior to her fall, Resident 20 was steady on her
feet and went around the facility pushing her
wheelchair. LN 3 stated Resident 20 required
minimal assistance with dressing and
showering before her fall on 12/14/16.
On 12/20/16 at 4:58 p.m., during an interview,
Restorative Nurse Aide (RNA) 1 stated on
12/14/16, she observed Resident 20 to
continually walk toward the exit door. RNA 1
stated Resident 20 stated repeatedly she
wanted to go home and see her family. RNA 1
stated she walked Resident 20 back from the
exit door to the activity room several times on
12/14/16. RNA 1 stated Resident 20 had to
pass the wander guard sensor and the exit
door alarm to elope from the facility. RNA 1
stated, "For some strange reason, she
[Resident 20] got past those alarms."

On 12/20/16 at 5:01 p.m., during an interview,
the Facility Maintenance Director (FMD) stated
the maintenance department was responsible
for testing the wander guard system on a
monthly basis. The FMD stated resident
wander guards were checked once per week.
The FMD produced a written log titled,
"WANDER GUARDS" which indicated a
notation of "ok" written weekly from 9/5/15 to
12/15/16. There was no documentation of
Resident 20's wander guard checked every
shift by the staff.
On 12/20/16 at 6:10 p.m., during an interview,
the Admin stated on 12/14/16, the local police
department notified the facility Resident 20 was
found by a bystander outside the facility. The
Admin stated the bystander had called the
police department to report the incident. The
Admin stated the facility had not investigated
the circumstances that allowed Resident 20 to
leave the building unnoticed. The Admin stated
there was no (staff) timeframe or guideline of
frequency to monitor Resident 20's location for
prevention of elopement.
On 2/14/17 at 5:11 p.m., during an interview,
the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the
maintenance department was responsible for
checking the wander guard system on a
monthly and weekly basis. The DON stated the
nursing staff checked to ensure the alarm was
placed on the resident appropriately, but
nursing staff did not check the function of the
alarm. The DON stated the facility did not have
a policy or procedure to guide nursing staff
regarding who should check the alarms, how to
check the alarms or how often to check the
alarms. The DON stated there was no system
in place directing nursing staff in checking
wander guard alarms.

On 4/6/17 at 3:20 p.m., during a telephone
interview, the FMD stated, if working properly,
the wander guard alarm in the "short hallway"
would alarm continually until a staff member
put the code into the alarm box to turn it off.
The FMD stated, if working properly, all exit
door alarms would continue to alarm until
disarmed by staff. The FMD stated exit door
alarms were tested every week.
On 4/6/17 at 3:30 p.m., during a telephone
interview, the DON stated nursing staff check
placement of the wander guard alarms on
residents, but do not document the check. The
DON stated Resident 20 did not have a

prevention. The DON stated staff were
instructed to keep Resident 20 within their line
of sight as much as possible, but prior to
12/14/16, there was no regularly scheduled or
documented monitoring of her location.

Admin stated he was not certain how long
Resident 20 was missing, but he had seen her
that afternoon in the facility. The Admin stated
facility staff were not able to determine how
Resident 20 left the building. The Admin stated
the door alarms were functioning when tested

the alarms she was already out the door and
out of sight."
