F311 SS=E PROVIDER'S PLAN OF CORRECTION (EACH CORRECTIVE ACTION SHOULD BE CROSS-REFERENCED TO THE APPROPRIATE DEFICIENCY) (X5) COMPLETE DATE 08/16/2017 (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.

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.

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.

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.

The Admin stated facility staff were unaware Resident 20 was missing until notified by the local police department. The Admin stated he was not certain how long Resident 20 was missing, but he had seen her that afternoon in the facility.
