**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure that their policy related to identifying
and arranging an appropriate representative to make health care decisions was implemented for one
Resident (#231) of forty-four residents sampled.
Findings included:
A review of the facility policy titled Resident Rights Regarding Treatment and Advance Directives, with
implementation date of 11/21/2021 revealed:
Policy Explanation and Compliance Guidelines:
5. The facility will identify or arrange for an appropriate representative for the resident to serve primary
decision maker if the resident is assessed as unable to make relevant health care decisions.
A record review for Resident #231 indicated she was originally admitted on [DATE] and re-admitted on
[DATE] with multiple diagnoses that included Cerebral Infarction, Traumatic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage with
loss of consciousness of unspecified duration, Gastrostomy, and Tracheostomy.
A continued record review revealed no advance care planning with no advance directive. Active physician
orders dated 02/16/2021 listed the resident as a Full Code. A review of care plan dated 01/28/2021 denotes
under Focus area dependent on staff for all her daily care needs secondary to vegetative state.
The review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], identified in Section C, that resident #
231 did not have a Brief Interview For Mental Status (BIMS) score and was listed as comatose, could not
be aroused. The most recent updated MDS made on 02/09/2021 was requested, but not provided by the
facility.
On 02/16/2021 at 11:04 a.m. a telephone interview was conducted with the Responsible Party/Emergency
contact listed on Resident #231's facility profile sheet. During the family interview the party revealed that he
was the resident's ex-husband, and he is listed because he is trying to help her out since her children were
living in another country and has not been able to find or contact them in the past five (5) years. During the
interview he indicated he did not know where Resident #231 was at the present time, and had not spoken
to anyone regarding where she was. He further indicated that when the resident was recently hospitalized ,
he was called by the hospital to provide her Medicaid number and social security number. He said he did
not have that information, and did not know where to get it, since he was not officially made the resident's
guardian or official health care decision maker.
During an interview conducted on 02/17/2021 at 09:30 a.m., with the Social Services Director (SSD), he
was asked if the facility is trying to obtain a guardian for Resident #231. The SSD could not provide any
documentation or progress notes in the clinical medical record to show that he attempted to contact the
resident's ex-husband. He stated I tried to call him to do a Health Care Proxy last week, he does not
answer the phone, I left a voice mail. I promise that I spoke to him when she first

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interview, medical record review and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure that a
resident centered care plan was developed and implemented related to wearing a Wander Guard
Device/Bracelet for one (Resident #24) of forty-four residents in the sample group.
Findings included:
On 02/18/2021 at 3:00 p.m., Resident #24 was observed to be walking with an unidentified Certified
Nursing Assistant, (CNA) into his resident room, and as he lifted his leg up to step forward his pants moved
slightly, showing a white Wander Guard Device/Bracelet on his ankle.
A medical record review for Resident #24 indicated he was admitted on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses that
included Cerebral Infarction, Aphasia, Atrial Fibrillation and Cognitive Communication Deficit. A record
review of active Physician Orders revealed that Resident #24 did not have an order to wear a Wander
Guard Device/Bracelet. Record review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], identified in
Section C, that resident #24's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was 09, (indicating moderate
cognitive impairment).
Further record review of Resident #24's care-plan dated 02/15/2021, with several revisions since admission
did not include a Focus area for a Wander Guard Device/Bracelet care and monitoring with goals and
intervention/tasks to be followed by facility staff.
On 02/19/2021 at 09:00 a.m. an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON was
informed of the observation made of Resident #24 wearing an ankle Wander Guard Device/Bracelet and
that there were no active orders, or a Care Plan area developed or implemented to wear one if the facility
considered Resident #24 to be an Elopement Risk. The DON indicated she would investigate the matter
and get back to the surveyor. At 9:09 a.m. a physician order was observed to be placed in Resident #24's
medical record and written by the Regional Clinical Nurse.
On 02/19/2021 at 10:00 a.m., the DON approached the survey team with three Elopement Binders
containing Resident #24's picture and information regarding the Wander Guard Device/Bracelet. She
revealed that she has performed a visual inspection of the resident's information in all the books, and also
checked Resident #24's Wander Guard Device/Bracelet with a Secure Care Tester Box, which showed that
it was functioning. She said her staff will be checking placement for Resident #24's Wander Guard
Device/Bracelet on the 11-7 shift. The DON further indicated information from Resident #24's medical
record dropped off when new ownership took over operational control of the facility. The DON was asked
what her expectation was for her staff related to development and implementation of care plans, and she
stated I would expect the resident to be care-planned if he has an order for a wander-guard bracelet.
On 02/19/2021 at 10:19 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Regional Clinical Reimbursement
Nurse, filling in as MDS(Minimum Data Set)/Care Plan Coordinator, who confirmed that Resident #24 was
not care-planned to wear a Wander Guard. Device/Bracelet. She stated I saw the order put in today for the
Wander Guard, and I confirm the resident did not have a Wander Guard area in his care plan. I did the
update to the care plan today from the quarterly care plan that was originally completed on 02/15/2021.
