Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must
establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.
Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure all grievances were
tracked through to their conclusion for 1) voiced concerns by residents from the Resident Council and the
Food Committee Council meetings between April 2023 and September 2023, and 2) voiced concerns from
three residents (#11, #14, and #17) related to their specific diet out of seventeen residents sampled during
survey.
Findings included:
A review was conducted of the Resident Council Meeting Minutes, from April 2023 through September
2023 after speaking with the Resident Council President (Resident #14). An interview was conducted with
the Resident Council President (RCP) on 10/03/2023 at 8:50 a.m. The RCP reported the Activities Director
(AD) ran the meetings and the RCP was not provided with the minutes from the prior meetings. She
reported she did not remember the AD reporting on old business and the status of resolving concerns. The
RCP reported the dietary department had not updated likes and dislikes for her and she was aware that
new residents are not interviewed about their likes and dislikes and they receive what is on the planned
menu. She reported her other concern was the Laundry Department as she rarely gets her own clothing
back, even though her name is in all of her clothing.
The Resident Council met on 04/27/2023 and minutes were documented on the Resident Council Minutes
form which provided guidance for concerns voiced, such as Old Business and New Business. The guidance
provided on the form for Old Business was List unresolved old business from last meeting's minutes, status
of the concern and identify person responsible. Move unresolved issues to New Business. Three concerns
were documented as Old Business which were noted to be the same concerns documented under New
Business as: need denture; need braille for the blind; and name tag employees. There was no
documentation of the status of the concerns listed. The section to document new business included actions
taken, person responsible, and outcome. Only the person or department responsible was documented.
The Resident Council met on 05/23/2023, the Resident Council Minutes form only included the date, time,
meeting location, facilitator and the two officers who were in attendance (President and Secretary). No
Meeting Minutes review or Old Business Review was documented. The second page for New Business was
not provided. Typed pages with multiple concerns voiced at the meeting included: issues with insulin,
missing food from the pantry, slamming doors at night, staff not answering the call lights at 4:00 a.m., staff
were cruel about a resident's oxygen use, the television channels were not available, clothing was missing,
the smoking patio needed cleaning supplies, it takes too long to answer door alarms and staff don't know
the code to turn them off, and visitors enter through the front door on the weekends and set the alarms off.
The minutes from May 2023 did not refer to the three

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

The Resident Council met on 06/27/2023 and the Resident Council Minutes form documented Old
Business. Three issues were documented: [NAME] side shower needs a make over; the alarm on the
weekend, no one's the code to turn off (sic); and two residents need dental care. The shower concern had
not been mentioned in either April 2023 or May 2023; the alarm concern had been brought up in May 2023,
and the need for denture care had been mentioned in April 2023 but it was not clear whether it was the
same issue. The form did not document an update or person responsible for the three issues documented
under Old Business. Three concerns were listed under New Business: renovate west shower with
maintenance responsible; dental with social services responsible; and the van not working with
maintenance responsible. All three concerns were marked 'not resolved'. Hand written notes from the
meeting were reviewed and included a request that the Administrator attend the meetings. The kitchen was
noted for having improved big time, but with the concern voiced there were too many canned peaches and
pineapple on the menu and no fresh fruit. The west side shower was described as needing to be renovated
as it was found to be moldy, and without a mirror, shelf or waste basket.
Residents Affected - Some
The Resident Council met on 07/25/2023 and the documented minutes were typed out, rather than added
to the form. There was no reference to the old or new business discussed in the June 2023 meeting and
whether those issues were resolved. The concern of television channels not available was voiced again
with the new concern that the wifi was not good. New concerns were voiced that the aides were not
available during the lunch and dinner meal as they were in the dining room, the aides weren't working as a
team, the wait for care on the 11-7 shift was long, the call lights were not working or they weren't answered
in a timely manner, and missing clothing was a concern.
The Resident Council met on 08/31/2023 and the form did not document old business that was unresolved
or new business. The Administrator attended the meeting and reported there would be more help passing
meal trays out so the food would be warmer and ready to eat, not cold. Concerns voiced included: four
residents on reno (renal) diets that needed their diets and they needed a packed meal to take with them
when they went to dialysis, the aides always on their phones, needing fresh water in the smoking area, the
kitchen staff needing the code to put the water out on the smoking patio, and the service (from the aides
and nurses) was very slow on the weekends. There was no reference to the new or old business voiced in
the July 2023 meeting.
An interview was conducted with Resident #13 on 10/04/2023 at 12:45 p.m. The resident stated she had
physician orders for a renal diet and she did not receive a packed lunch or snack to take with when she
went to dialysis and missed a meal at the facility. She reported when she goes to dialysis, which is three
times a week, sometimes they give her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with crackers but not in a cooler
bag. She said it was hit or miss if she would receive the sandwich and crackers.
On 10/03/2023 at 1:00 p.m., Resident # 17 was observed in his room eating his lunch. He reported that he
leaves the facility for his dialysis at 4:00 a.m. or 5:00 a.m. three times a week and has never received any
food or snacks to take with him to provide for the breakfast that he misses.
The Resident Council met on 09/26/2023. The minutes were typed out without the form in use to document
the status of the old and new business. The President took the opportunity to read to the attending
residents their rights, specifically about getting up or going to bed when the resident prefers and not when
the aides want the resident to go to bed. The President commented that the aides got rude about it, giving
the example of a named aide who was rude when she was told the resident was

waiting a long time to receive care. The residents voiced that there were still too many agency staff in the
building with one resident voicing that their catheter bag was not emptied all night long and the bag was
very full. The residents voiced the door alarms were disturbing at night and nobody seemed to know the
code to turn them off. Again, the residents voiced the employees needed to team up to care for the
residents. It was voiced the agency staff don't need their paper signed if they were not going to do the job.
One resident voiced that he had to wait 30 minutes for his medication because his nurse was playing on
her phone. The television remained a problem with being out on the weekends and channels were still
missing. Another resident voiced he woke up an aide who was sleeping and the aide got mad. The
residents suggested appointing someone in the laundry department to look for lost clothing and to check in
other residents' closets for the lost clothing. One resident reported her call light was out all weekend and
even though they gave her a little bell to ring, they couldn't hear it. She reported that she rang the bell at 2
a.m. and the nurse, rather than helping her, said she would tell her aide and she wasn't assisted until 4 am.
There was no reference to voiced concerns from the August 2023 meeting or from concerns that were
addressed such as, the extra staff to pass trays so the meals remained hot, or the need for the residents on
renal diets to receive the correct foods. Service from the nurses and aides continued to be a concern
related to timeliness, availability and maintaining a pleasant attitude.
Minutes from the Food Committee were reviewed. On 06/08/23 the Food Committee met and a concern
was voiced that the residents wanted more condiments served with their meals. There was no reference in
the following meetings as to whether the residents noted more condiments provided, but observation of
resident meals on 10/04/2023 at lunch revealed a biscuit was served with the beef stew and even though
the planned menu and resident specific diet slips indicated margarine would be provided with the biscuit - it
was not. On 10/04/23 pancakes were served at breakfast and residents were not served maple syrup.
On 08/28/2023 the Food Committee minutes included the request for english muffins to be buttered in the
kitchen. On 10/05/2023, Resident # 17 had received an english muffin at breakfast. It was noted to be dry,
without having been buttered in the kitchen. Margarine packets were not observed on the resident's meal
tray.
An interview was conducted with the Activities Director (AD) on 10/02/2023 at 12:45 p.m. The AD was
asked what her process for addressing concerns voiced by residents at Resident Council was. She
reported after the meeting, she would verbally tell department heads about the concerns voiced by the
residents. She stated she did not receive the resolutions to the grievance voiced at the meetings or the
status of the actions on the concern. She confirmed she didn't review old business with the residents at
their next meeting. She stated she had not thought about doing that. She reported she didn't have a reason
for why sometimes she used the Resident Council Minutes form and sometimes she did not.
An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/03/2023 at 11:00 a.m. She reported
the AD is responsible to share with the relevant department heads any concern voiced at the resident
council meeting.
An interview was conducted with the Administrator on 10/03/2023 at 11:10 a.m. The Administrator reported
the facility management staff discussed concerns voiced through the grievance process and during resident
council meetings at the facility's monthly Quality meeting. The Administrator was told of the interview
conducted with the AD and how the AD reported she verbally shared with department heads voiced
grievances but did not expect or did not receive information back on the status of the

Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to protect the residents' right to be free from
neglect to ensure two residents (#10, #12) out of 11 residents at risk, with known neurocognitive disorders
and/or dementia and a history of wandering and exit seeking, was provided supervision and services to
prevent elopement. The facility neglected to maintain an exit door alarm system in proper operation or
implement alternate methods to prevent elopements since 08/02/2023.
The facility nursing staff neglected to ensure the safety of Resident #10, from approximately 12:40 p.m. until
1:37 p.m. or approximately 57 minutes on 09/02/2023. Resident #10 exited the front door unobserved by
staff. She traveled down a steep drive, across a street to an apartment building parking lot which was
approximately 600 feet away. She was discovered and returned to the facility by a male resident of the
apartment complex.
The facility nursing staff neglected to ensure the safety of Resident #12. Resident #12 was able to exit the
facility unsupervised on 08/28/2023. Resident #12 was able to tailgate out the front entrance of the facility.
The resident was discovered outside by staff and brought back into the facility.
The facility was aware the door alarming system was not operating properly since 08/02/2023, and despite
this knowledge the facility neglected to put interventions in place to prevent the elopements of Resident #10
and Resident #12.
This neglect created a situation that resulted in the likelihood for serious injury and or death to Resident
#10 and Resident #12 and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy on 08/02/2023. The
findings of Immediate Jeopardy were determined to be removed on 10/06/2023 and the severity and scope
was reduced to a D after verification of removal of Immediate Jeopardy.
Findings included:
During a phone interview on 10/06/2023 at 9:21 a.m. a customer service representative from the
[contracted technology company] stated, On 09/05/2023, they had issues with the [wandering alarm
system] reception. It was not picking up the transmissions all the time. On 08/02/2023 we initially talked to
them about the issue. We did some trouble shooting steps over the phone but was unable to solve the
issue. We sent them a service agreement form (Authorization Form) for signature. We did not get the form
back. We have to have a signature on an Authorization Form before we send anyone out. On 09/02/2023,
the Maintenance Director called back about the same issue. Again, one of the techs tried to troubleshoot
over the phone but was unable to. We resent the form that day, 09/02/2023, and received it back the same
day. We dispatched it for 09/05/2023. On 09/05/2023 the tech arrived, he checked the main entrance, and
adjusted the antennas. He adjusted the wire termination for a timer and bypass button. After the test it was
working fine. He tested all the other doors. The termination wires on the keypads adjust the schedule of
opening and closing of the door. He checked the wiring only it did not have to be replaced or repaired.
Resident #10 was admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Record review showed diagnoses
included but were not limited to neurocognitive disorder with Lewy bodies; brief psychotic disorder;
adjustment disorder with anxiety; generalized anxiety disorder; unspecified lack of coordination;

On 10/02/23 at 2:55 p.m. Resident #10's elopement route was observed with the DON and the Regional
Nursing Home Administrator (RNHA). This included walking down a steeply sloped driveway and crossing a
2-lane street with a speed limit of 30 miles per hour. There was an occasional car observed going down the
street. Resident #10 entered the grounds of an apartment complex. She was found by a gentleman at the
back of the apartment complex parking lot. The DON stated she and the NHA went door-to-door in the
apartment complex and found the gentleman who brought Resident #10 back. He informed them where he
found her in the parking lot. He told the DON and the NHA the resident had told him she wanted to get to
the playground, which is part of the apartment complex where she was found. He told them she was calm
and was just sitting in her wheelchair. He said he tried to change her mind about going to the playground.
(Photographic evidence obtained).
During an interview on 10/02/2023 at 3:12 p.m. the Maintenance Director was asked about the statement
on the On-Site Charge Authorization Form. He stated, I just was trying to get them (contracted technology
company) to come for the antennas. He stated, It was the only thing I can think of. He verified a work order
had been placed 30 days prior to the elopement. He stated he did check the main door, on 09/02/2023,
when they came in, post elopement, he documented it was working.
During an interview on 10/02/2023 at 3:30 p.m. the Regional Nursing Home Administrator (RNHA) and the
DON stated they verified there were two forms from the contracted technology company, Form 1 was
On-site Service Charge Authorization Form, dated 08/02/2023 (a month before elopement), stating
Maintenance Director called in requesting a Service Call to have a tech work on the Main Entrance's
antennae range as some residents have been able to escape without setting off the alarm. It was signed by
the NHA on 09/01/23 (a day before the elopement). The NHA was unavailable for an interview during the
dates of the survey. Form 2 was Service Call Job Form, dated 09/05/2023. The RNHA stated when he was
told about the elopement and the door problems, he told them to put someone on the door and get
someone out to fix it as soon as possible (ASAP). The DON stated the NHA had chewed the contracted
technology company out (for not responding timely). The RNHA stated the Maintenance Director told him
they had receipts from another company, and the Maintenance Director was looking for the receipts.
The RNHA and Maintenance Director produced an invoice from a (contracted electric company). They
stated they came out on 08/23/23. The RNHA stated they then called the manufacturer [contracted
technology company] because the antennas were still not working properly. The RNHA, the Maintenance
Director and the DON stated they could not get the contracted technology company to come out, so they
called the contracted electric company to come out. The RNHA stated the main door was not alarming the
way it should, so he told the facility to get the manufacturer (contracted technology company). The DON
stated the door was supposed to be functioning but was not alarming. The contracted electric company
installed new antennas. The contracted technology company came in and did not add any equipment but
adjusted the antennas. The Maintenance Director stated he did not know if the antenna was adjusted by the
contracted electric company, but it had to be readjusted.
During an interview with the DON on 10/03/2023 at 8:57 a.m. the DON stated she did a head-to-toe

notes. Those notes are not found in the resident's electronic medical records. The DON verified there was
no documentation in the electronic medical record of the incident. She verified there was only a post
evaluation which did not state she eloped. There was no documentation that the attending physician and /
or responsible party had been notified. It was documented in the risk report. She stated they had psych
(psychiatric services) in to see the resident. They had the attending physician in to see the resident. The
DON verified the Psych note on 09/05/2023 showed She elopes and has outdoor privileges. Patient is now
on 1:1 observation for safety measures and does not remember. DON stated, she does not have outdoor
privileges. The DON stated she would ask medical records if there were any other notes that had not been
uploaded. A Post Incident was in the chart. The DON stated, We had an IDT (Interdisciplinary Team)
meeting and reviewed the care plan and made sure everything was there. We have an IDT meeting every
morning and review all incidents that happen. The note for the IDT meeting was documented in the risk
notes by the DON. They did not document the IDT meeting in the electronic medical chart. She stated they
reviewed the care plans. They reassessed her elopement risk, performed labs, did a UA and C/S on

with antibiotics. She stated the care plan was updated with 1:1 supervision on 09/02/23.
During an interview on 10/03/2023 at 3:01 p.m. the DON stated, She (Resident #10) does not get up as
much as she did. She had a UTI. She was used to seeing her up and about. The UTI kind of took her down
a little bit. The Depakote may be making her sleepier. I will talk to psych the Advanced Practice Registered
Nurse Practitioner (APRN). You have to approach her 'Resident #10 it is time to get up', vs. 'Do you want to
get up?'. The DON stated she did not know of any other residents going out. The door was not sounding.
She stated, I was used to hearing an alarm when a resident with a wandering device on got near the door.
Maintenance told her Some residents have been able to escape without setting off the alarm, was stated
(on the Service Form) due to it being so hard to get the company (contracted technology company) out.
The DON stated the Maintenance Director and NHA were working it out (the door issue on 08/02/2023).
She stated she did not know if the resident was tailgating or not. It (door locking and alarming) would
sometimes not capture from the wandering device going out but would always capture on coming in. The
DON stated no one was sitting at the main door until 09/02/2023. The DON stated if they knew it (the door)
wasn't working, they would have put a staff member on the exit door 24/7 to ensure no one left the building
who wasn't supposed to. Before the main door was only being monitored by the receptionist. She stated,
She was not aware there was anything wrong with the door. The DON stated, It wasn't always consistently
picking them up, but they were picked up and staff intervened.
During an interview on 10/03/2023 at 4:10 p.m. the Maintenance Director stated, The sound announced but
it did not announce like it was supposed to be. The door was functioning like it was supposed to but not the
sound. I don't know, it was a while ago. He stated, Am positive it was announcing in the past, it has a
speaker in it. I know they have to report if someone escapes. If there is an issue, I have to take care of it. I
have to do my part. We have had residents escape before and it was reported to you guys. If a resident got
out, you guys know about it. The NHA was aware there was a problem. I handed the On-Site Service

resident after she eloped and put it on the resident's right ankle. When we commented that it was on the
resident's right arm, the DON said yes the NHA had asked that they change the site. The NHA explained to
the DON that it would be at a better level to signal the door alarm if it was on her arm, not her leg. The DON

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
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two residents (#10, #12) out of 11
residents at risk, with known neurocognitive disorders and / or dementia and a history of wandering and
exit seeking, was provided supervision and services to prevent elopement. The facility failed to maintain an
exit door alarm system in proper operation to prevent elopements since 08/02/2023.
The facility nursing staff failed to ensure the safety of Resident #10, from approximately 12:40 p.m. until
1:37 p.m. or approximately 57 minutes on 09/02/2023. Resident #10 exited the front door unobserved by
staff. She traveled down a steep drive, across a street to an apartment building parking lot which was
approximately 600 feet away. She was discovered and returned to the facility by a male resident of the
apartment complex.
The facility nursing staff failed to ensure the safety of Resident #12. Resident #12 was able to exit the
facility unsupervised on 08/28/2023. Resident #12 was able to tailgate out the front entrance of the facility.
The resident was discovered outside by staff and brought back into the facility.
This failure created a situation that resulted in the likelihood for serious injury and or death to Resident #10
and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy on 08/02/2023. The findings of Immediate
Jeopardy were determined to be removed on 10/06/2023 and the severity and scope was reduced to a D
after verification of removal of Immediate Jeopardy.
Findings included:
During a phone interview on 10/06/2023 at 9:21 a.m. a customer service representative from the
[contracted technology company] stated, On 09/05/2023, they had issues with the [wandering alarm
system] reception. It was not picking up the transmissions all the time. On 08/02/2023 we initially talked to
them about the issue. We did some trouble shooting steps over the phone but was unable to solve the
issue. We sent them a service agreement form (Authorization Form) for signature. We did not get the form
back. We have to have a signature on an Authorization Form before we send anyone out. On 09/02/2023,
the Maintenance Director called back about the same issue. Again, one of the techs tried to troubleshoot
over the phone but was unable to. We resent the form that day, 09/02/2023, and received it back the same
day. We dispatched it for 09/05/2023. On 09/05/2023 the tech arrived, he checked the main entrance, and
adjusted the antennas. He adjusted the wire termination for a timer and bypass button. After the test it was
working fine. He tested all the other doors. The termination wires on the keypads adjust the schedule of
opening and closing of the door. He checked the wiring only it did not have to be replaced or repaired.
Resident #10 was admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Record review showed diagnoses
included but were not limited to neurocognitive disorder with Lewy bodies; brief psychotic disorder;
adjustment disorder with anxiety; generalized anxiety disorder; unspecified lack of coordination; Diabetes;

company installed new antennas. The contracted technology company came in and did not add any
equipment but adjusted the antennas. The Maintenance Director stated he did not know if the antenna was
adjusted by the contracted electric company, but it had to be readjusted.
During an interview with the DON on 10/03/2023 at 8:57 a.m. the resident told the DON she was going to
work. The DON called the management team in. The DON stated no one saw her, she was able to leave
the dining room on her own. The DON verified for approximately 57 minutes it was unknown where the
resident was located. The DON stated Staff M, CNA was assigned to care for Resident #10 that day. The
DON stated she interviewed Staff M and she saw the resident in the dining room at about 11:30 a.m. on
09/02/2023. The DON stated staffing was good on 09/02/2023, it was meeting the 2.0 minimum. The DON
stated the documentation of the event (elopement) was part of the resident's risk notes. Those notes are
not found in the resident's electronic medical records. The DON verified there was no documentation in the
electronic medical record of the incident. She verified there was only a post evaluation which did not state
she eloped. There was no documentation that the attending physician and / or responsible party had been
notified. It was documented in the risk report. She stated they had psych (psychiatric services) in to see the
resident. They had the attending physician in to see the resident. The DON verified the Psych note on
09/05/2023 showed She elopes and has outdoor privileges. Patient is now on 1:1 observation for safety
measures and does not remember. DON stated, she does not have outdoor privileges. The DON stated she
would ask medical records if there were any other notes that had not been uploaded. A Post Incident was in
the chart. The DON stated, We had an IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) meeting and reviewed the care plan and
made sure everything was there. We have an IDT meeting every morning and review all incidents that
happen. The note for the IDT meeting was documented in the risk notes by the DON. They did not
document the IDT meeting in the electronic medical chart. She stated they reviewed the care plans. They
reassessed her elopement risk, performed labs, did a UA and C/S on 09/06/2023. On 09/05/23 they
changed the Depakote order. The resident did have a UTI and was treated with antibiotics. She stated the
care plan was updated with 1:1 supervision on 09/02/23.
During an interview on 10/03/2023 at 3:01 p.m. the DON stated, She (Resident #10) does not get up as
much as she did. She had a UTI. She was used to seeing her up and about. The UTI kind of took her down
a little bit. The Depakote may be making her sleepier. I will talk to psych the Advanced Practice Registered
Nurse Practitioner (APRN). You have to approach her 'Resident #10 it is time to get up', vs. 'Do you want to
get up?'. The DON stated she did not know of any other residents going out. The door was not sounding.
She stated, I was used to hearing an alarm when a resident with a wandering device on got near the door.
Maintenance told her Some residents have been able to escape without setting off the alarm, was stated
(on the Service Form) due to it being so hard to get the company (contracted technology company) out.
The DON stated the Maintenance Director and NHA were working it out (the door issue on 08/02/2023).
She stated she did not know if the resident was tailgating or not. It (door locking and alarming) would
sometimes not capture from the wandering device going out but would always capture on coming in. The
DON stated no one was sitting at the main door until 09/02/2023. The DON stated if they knew it (the door)
wasn't working, they would have put a staff member on the exit door 24/7 to ensure no one left the building
who wasn't supposed to. Before the main door was only being monitored by the receptionist. She stated,
She was not aware there was anything wrong with the door. The DON stated, It wasn't always consistently
picking them up, but they were picked up and staff intervened.
During an interview on 10/03/2023 at 4:10 p.m. the Maintenance Director stated, The sound announced but
it did not announce like it was supposed to be. The door was functioning like it was supposed to but not the
sound. I don't know, it was a while ago. He stated, Am

positive it was announcing in the past, it has a speaker in it. I know they have to report if someone escapes.
If there is an issue, I have to take care of it. I have to do my part. We have had residents escape before and
it was reported to you guys. If a resident got out, you guys know about it. The NHA was aware there was a
problem. I handed the On-Site Service Charge Authorization Form to the administrator at the time
(08/02/2023). I do not know who it was (that eloped). I explained what was going on and [contracted electric
company] did a complete check. We had an antenna in the building, and [contracted electric company]
replaced it. He did fix the sound, don't know what was going on, but he fixed it. I may have been on the
phone with the company (contracted technology company) on 09/02/2023, trying to get them out here. They
(contracted technology company) adjusted the two antennas to their full potential range. They are in a half
circle. I tested the doors when everyone came in on Saturday, 09/02/2023. It (the testing) was handwritten
that I checked all the doors on 09/02/2023. I can't remember that part, if the NHA checked her (the
resident's) wandering device and was it was working part time.
During an interview on 10/03/23 at 4:35 p.m. SSD, which was present on the day of the elopement, stated
on 09/02/23 she did not know when Resident #10 got out or how. The SSD had gone up front to relieve the
receptionist for lunch. Staff F, receptionist, came back from lunch and she stated she came back to her
office. Some guy said Resident #10 was across the street. Staff F took her to the nurses' station. Resident
#10 then came to my door. She was not sweating; skin was cool to the touch. Resident #10 went down the
hall, stated She was going to see her friend. The man (who brought her back) was gone. When she got out
the door it was not working. She stated she sat at the main door from about 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. She did not
know if the door made a noise or not, but it was supposed to lock down, for residents with a wandering
device. It (the door) would lock when they got close to the door, but she did not know about the alarms.
Resident #10 would get up and go, she was able to self-propel herself.
During an interview on 10/04/23 at 9:02 a.m. Staff M, CNA, who was present on the day of the elopement,
stated she was Resident #10's aide that day. She was in the dining room that day. She got her up in the

On 10/05/23 at 9:00 a.m. the DON reported the facility's Infection Log did not include Resident #11 as
having a urinary tract infection and order for the antibiotic. She reported she had informed the NP the
resident had not received the medication. The DON reported the NP was told the resident seemed to be
back to her baseline and the NP told her to hold off on giving the antibiotic or trying to obtain another
sample of urine to test. The DON reported at the time nurses should have documented the resident refused
the first dose of the medication and they should have continued to try to give the resident the injection. The
DON reported the resident was refusing all of her medications that day which was probably why the nurse
didn't attempt to give the injection.
A review of the MAR for 09/20/2023 revealed the resident was accepting some of her medications: the
resident took her medications as ordered through out the day including: Magnesium, Melatonin,
Multi-vitamin, Depakote, Potassium, Statin, and Lorazepam.
On 10/05/2023, an interview was conducted with the NP at 12:40 p.m. She reported she was familiar with
the resident and was aware the urine sample had been obtained and sent in for analysis with the results
identifying an organism and the antibiotic indicated for the organism was ordered. She reported she was
told the order wasn't clear and confirmed no one reached out to clarify the order. She reported she was
aware the resident refused the injection the first day and the nurses didn't seem to have tried again. She
reported because the resident didn't seem to be exhibiting symptoms she would not order a new analysis
or order the injection at this time.
On 10/05/2023 at 1:45 p.m. the NP reported she had assessed the resident and found she wasn't at her
baseline and she had changed since she saw her last week. She reported she had ordered another
urinalysis and would wait for the results to determine the medication to order.
The NP note, dated 10/05/2023, revealed the following: Today when I was rounding, staff informed me she
is not eating or drinking and in bed. The note included, Patient has altered mental status. The NP completed
a physical assessment of the resident and documented, Patient awake with verbal stimuli, refuses to eat or
drink for me, when I try to assess she tries to punch me with both hands made into fists but soft, unable to
connect, stops after exam. The Plan included a complete blood count, complete metabolic profile,
urinalysis, and culture and sensitivity. Failure to thrive meets McGreer requirements for UA and C&S . Will
treat if positive - last UA results from 09/19, over 16 days old, need to recollect to check C&S to see which
antibiotic is sensitive.
The UA C&S results, returned on 10/10/2023, showed >100,000 CFU/ML Klebsiella Pneumoniae, ESBL,
which was the same organism reported on 09/19/2023.

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review the facility 1) failed to ensure the planned menu was followed
for three of three observed meals during lunch, 2) failed to ensure residents received an alternate meal
when they were absent from the facility for three residents (#11, #14, and #17) out of seventeen sampled,
and 3) failed to ensure residents were provided their preferences at meals for four residents (#11, #17, #13,
and #6) of seventeen residents sampled during survey.
Findings included:
Resident #11 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Metabolic
Encephalopathy, unspecified protein-calorie malnutrition, Chronic Kidney Disease, and Dementia. At
admission the physician ordered a Mechanical Soft, Renal diet. A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS)
admission Assessment, dated 07/24/2023, revealed the resident's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS)
was coded as a 99, indicating the resident was cognitively not able to complete the interview.
On 10/02/2023 at 1:00 p.m., Resident #11 was observed in her room, sitting on her bed. She had received
her lunch which was a large serving of baked ziti with cheese, a serving of whole green beans, a chocolate
chip cookie, an 8 ounce carton of whole milk, and an 8 ounce cup of a drink. She had eaten most of the ziti
with cheese, all of the cookie, and was drinking her milk. She had eaten none of the green beans or the
garlic bread. The resident's diet slip indicated she was on a Mechanical Soft Renal diet. A review of the
planned lunch menu for 10/02/2023 revealed the residents on the renal diet should have received a
salisbury steak with buttered egg noodles and brown gravy, green beans, garlic bread, 4 ounces of whole
milk and creamy rice pudding for dessert.
An interview with the Dietary Manager (DM) and Staff Q, [NAME] was conducted on 10/02/2023 at 1:00
p.m. They stated the canned rice pudding that was planned for dessert had not been delivered by the food
service company so the cookie had to be substituted. Neither the DM nor the cook could recall that
Resident #11 was on a renal diet and they didn't know whether she had received the salisbury steak rather
than the ziti with cheese.
On 10/03/2023 at 12:30 p.m., Resident #14 was observed to be in her room, sitting on her bed. She had
been served her lunch which included ground breaded chicken with gravy, macaroni and cheese, spinach,
and vanilla pudding for dessert. She had been served an 8 ounce cup of an orange drink and an 8 ounce
container of whole milk. A review of the diet slip which accompanied the meal tray revealed the resident had
a physician's order for a Mechanical Soft, Renal Diet. A review of the planned menu for the mechanical soft
renal diet included ground baked chicken, buttered elbow macaroni, buttered spinach, fruited citrus gelatin
and 4 ounces of whole milk.
An interview was conducted with the Staff Q, [NAME] on 10/03/2023 at 1:10 p.m. Staff Q stated he had not
prepared the plain buttered elbow macaroni for the residents who had physician ordered renal diets as
there were just a few of those residents, and he just served them the macaroni and cheese instead. He
stated he had not prepared plain baked chicken for the renal diet residents either. At that same time, the
Dietary Manager (DM) was asked about the substituted dessert of the pudding instead of the fruited
gelatin. The DM stated no one had made the gelatin the day before so they served the pudding (a canned
product) instead.

Resident # 17 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included end stage renal disease
with dialysis. A review of the MDS quarterly assessment, dated 08/29/2023, revealed the BIMS score as
14, indicating intact cognition.
On 10/03/2023 at 1:00 p.m., Resident # 17 was observed in his room eating his lunch. He reported he
leaves the facility for his dialysis at 4:00 a.m. or 5:00 a.m. three times a week and has never received any
food or snacks to take with him to provide for the breakfast that he misses. He reported he usually gets
back just in time for lunch. During the interview, the resident was eating chicken and he said it was good.
When asked about the side dish, he reported it was macaroni and cheese. When the menu was read out to
him, indicating buttered noodles, he reported that no, his macaroni was more than just buttered, there was
a mild cheese flavor. The resident confirmed that the chicken he had received was breaded, not a plain
baked piece of chicken. The resident had received no milk on his lunch tray, but had received two 4 ounce
vanilla pudding cups, rather than the planned dessert of fruited gelatin.
On 10/05/2023 during breakfast, Resident #17 was observed in his room, but his breakfast tray could be
seen sitting on his over bed table. The resident had left for dialysis before the breakfast tray was served.
The breakfast tray was observed to be complete and none of the food items or condiments had been
touched. The resident had received scrambled eggs, an unbuttered english muffin split into halves with no
butter on the tray for the muffin. He had received 8 ounces of whole milk and 4 ounces of orange juice. The
diet slip accompanying the meal indicated for a regular renal diet, the resident should have been served 4
ounces of an apple juice blend, 1 margarine cup, and 4 ounces of whole milk, as well as the eggs and
english muffin.
An MDS admission assessment, dated 08/20/2023, for Resident #13 documented a BIMS score of 15,
indicating intact cognition.
On 10/04/2023 at 12:45 p.m. Resident #13 was observed having finished her lunch and was sitting on the
side of her bed. She reported the food isn't very good, and she showed me she had eaten about half of the
beef stew, none of the cauliflower, and less than half of the biscuit. She reported the facility did not follow
the renal diet. The planned menu was a 6 ounce serving of beef stew with a 4 ounce serving of buttered
cauliflower, a biscuit with margarine, 8 ounces of whole milk, and orange sherbet for dessert. The planned
renal diet was 6 ounces of beef tips in gravy with buttered cauliflower, a dinner roll, orange sherbet and 4
ounces of milk. Resident #13 had received the beef stew- with potatoes and carrots, not the single menu
item of beef tips, a biscuit with no margarine, 8 ounces of whole milk and rainbow sherbet. She reported
when she goes to dialysis sometimes they give her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with crackers maybe,
but not in a cooler bag. She said that it was hit or miss that she would receive the sandwich and crackers.
The MDS quarterly assessment, dated 07/17/2023, for Resident #6 documented a BIMS score of 14,
indicating intact cognition.
An interview was conducted with Resident # 6 on 10/02/2023 at 3:30 p.m. She reported the Dietary
Department does not follow the diet slips where they list residents' likes and dislikes. She reported she
always gets food items she dislikes which means she then has to send her aide back to the kitchen to get
what she had initially asked for. She reported she thought her hall was the last to be served and often the
kitchen will run out of what ever they had planned to serve. She said one night the planned menu was a
kielbasa sausage on a hoagie roll. She said by the time she was served, they must have run out of the
kielbasa as she received a hot dog on a hot dog bun with no condiments. She

had been placed 30 days prior to the elopement. He stated he did check the main door, on 09/02/2023,
when they came in, post elopement, he documented it was working.
During an interview on 10/02/2023 at 3:30 p.m. the Regional Nursing Home Administrator (RNHA) and the
DON stated they verified there were two forms from the contracted technology company, Form 1 was
On-site Service Charge Authorization Form, dated 08/02/2023 (a month before elopement), stating
Maintenance Director called in requesting a Service Call to have a tech work on the Main Entrance's
antennae range as some residents have been able to escape without setting off the alarm. It was signed by
the NHA on 09/01/23 (a day before the elopement). The NHA was unavailable for an interview during the
dates of the survey.
Form 2 was Service Call Job Form, dated 09/05/2023, and stated Maintenance Director called in
requesting a Service Call to have a tech work on the Main Entrance's antennae range as some residents

had chewed the contracted technology company out (for not responding timely). The RNHA stated the
Maintenance Director told him they had receipts from another company, and the Maintenance Director was
looking for the receipts.
The RNHA and Maintenance Director produced an invoice from a (contracted electric company). They
stated they came out on 08/23/23. The RNHA stated they then called the manufacturer [contracted
technology company] because the antennas were still not working properly. The RNHA, the Maintenance
Director and the DON stated they could not get the contracted technology company to come out, so they
called the contracted electric company to come out. The RNHA stated the main door was not alarming the
way it should, so he told the facility to get the manufacturer (contracted technology company). The DON
stated the door was supposed to be functioning but was not alarming. The contracted electric company
installed new antennas. The contracted technology company came in and did not add any equipment but
adjusted the antennas. The Maintenance Director stated he did not know if the antenna was adjusted by the
contracted electric company, but it had to be readjusted.

approximately 1:37 p.m. the resident was brought to the facility by a gentleman, the receptionist was at the
copier. Staff F, receptionist, was alerted due to the wandering device alarm going off when the resident
came into the main door. Staff F got the resident and came to the SSD who was the Manager on Duty. The
SSD then notified the DON at 1:42 p.m. The DON stated she gave the direction to do a head count to
ensure everyone was there. She was enroute, and here at 2:35 p.m. The SSD was at the front door. The
DON stated she did a head-to-toe assessment on the resident, with no abnormal findings. The resident was
fine. The resident told the DON she was going to work. The DON called the management team in. The DON
stated no one saw her, she was able to leave the dining room on her own. The DON verified for
approximately 57 minutes it was unknown where the resident was located. The DON stated Staff M, CNA

resident in the dining room at about 11:30 a.m. on 09/02/2023. The DON stated staffing was good on
09/02/2023, it was meeting the 2.0 minimum. The DON stated the documentation of the event (elopement)
was part of the resident's risk notes. Those notes are not found in the resident's electronic medical records.
The DON verified there was no documentation in the electronic medical record of the incident. She verified
there was only a post evaluation which did not state she eloped. There was no documentation that the
attending physician and / or responsible party had been notified. It was documented in the risk report. She
stated they had psych (psychiatric services) in to see the resident. They had the attending physician in to
see the resident. The DON verified the Psych note on 09/05/2023 showed She elopes and has outdoor
privileges. Patient is now on 1:1 observation for safety measures and does not remember. DON stated, she
does not have outdoor privileges. The DON stated she would ask medical records if there were any other
notes that had not been uploaded. A Post Incident was in the chart. The DON stated, We had an IDT
(Interdisciplinary Team) meeting and reviewed the care plan and made sure everything was there. We have
an IDT meeting every morning and review all incidents that happen. The note for the IDT meeting was
documented in the risk notes by the DON. They did not document the IDT meeting in the electronic medical
chart. She stated they reviewed the care plans. They reassessed her elopement risk, performed labs, did a
UA and C/S on 09/06/2023. On 09/05/23 they changed the Depakote order. The resident did have a UTI
and was treated with antibiotics. She stated the care plan was updated with 1:1 supervision on 09/02/23.
During an interview on 10/03/2023 at 3:01 p.m. the DON stated, She (Resident #10) does not get up as
much as she did. She had a UTI. She was used to seeing her up and about. The UTI kind of took her down
a little bit. The Depakote may be making her sleepier. I will talk to psych the Advanced Practice Registered
Nurse Practitioner (APRN). You have to approach her 'Resident #10 it is time to get up', vs. 'Do you want to
get up?'. The DON stated she did not know of any other residents going out. The door was not sounding.
She stated, I was used to hearing an alarm when a resident with a wandering device on got near the door.
Maintenance told her Some residents have been able to escape without setting off the alarm, was stated
(on the Service Form) due to it being so hard to get the company (contracted technology company) out.
The DON stated the Maintenance Director and NHA were working it out (the door issue on 08/02/2023).
She stated she did not know if the resident was tailgating or not. It (door locking and alarming) would
sometimes not capture from the wandering device going out but would always capture on coming in. The
DON stated no one was sitting at the main door until

sound. I don't know, it was a while ago. He stated, Am positive it was announcing in the past, it has a
speaker in it. I know they have to report if someone escapes. If there is an issue, I have to take care of it. I
have to do my part. We have had residents escape before and it was reported to you guys. If a resident got
out, you guys know about it. The NHA was aware there was a problem. I handed the On-Site Service
Charge Authorization Form to the administrator at the time (08/02/2023). I do not know who it was (that
eloped). I explained what was going on and [contracted electric company] did a complete check. We had an
antenna in the building, and [contracted electric company] replaced it. He did fix the sound, don't know what
was going on, but he fixed it. I may have been on the phone with the company (contracted technology
company) on 09/02/2023, trying to get them out here. They (contracted technology company) adjusted the
two antennas to their full potential range. They are in a half circle. I tested the doors when everyone came in
on Saturday, 09/02/2023. It (the testing) was handwritten that I checked all the doors on 09/02/2023. I can't
remember that part, if the NHA checked her (the resident's) wandering device and was it was working part
time.
During an interview on 10/03/23 at 4:35 p.m. SSD, which was present on the day of the elopement, stated
on 09/02/23 she did not know when Resident #10 got out or how. The SSD had gone up front to relieve the
receptionist for lunch. Staff F, receptionist, came back from lunch and she stated she came back to her
office. Some guy said Resident #10 was across the street. Staff F took her to the nurses' station. Resident
#10 then came to my door. She was not sweating; skin was cool to the touch. Resident #10 went down the
hall, stated She was going to see her friend. When she got out the door it was not working. She stated she
sat at the main door from about 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. She did not know if the door made a noise or not, but it
was supposed to lock down, for residents with a wandering device. It (the door) would lock when they got
close to the door, but she did not know about the alarms. Resident #10 would get up and go, she was able
to self-propel herself.
During an interview on 10/04/23 at 9:02 a.m. Staff M, CNA, who was present on the day of the elopement,

her 1 minute before that happened. She could have Only been out of the building for 2 or 3 minutes. She
thought she went out behind someone. There was no way she got out of the parking lot, she had to be on
the patio and brought her back in. There was no way she would have gotten down the driveway in her
wheelchair. Stated she did not see how she got in the parking lot. She stated she had just seen her 5
minutes before they called, she was out the door. They tested the wandering device. The wandering device
on the way back in, it went off. She was assessed, looked over, nothing was wrong. The aides Put her back
