F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few 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 with the nursing staff, Nursing Home Administrator, the Director of Nursing, the resident's primary care physician, and review of the resident's medical record and facility policies, the facility failed to protect the resident's right to be free from neglect by not ensuring one resident (#1) of 10 residents at risk for elopement, was provided with supervision and services related to the resident's cognitive deficits and history of dementia, epilepsy, and confusion before admission to the facility. In addition, the facility failed to provide meals, shelter and ordered medical treatment during Resident #1's absence. The facility staff failed to ensure the medical care and safety of Resident #1; on 12/31/2023 at approximately 2:30 PM, Resident #1 ambulated from the second floor of the facility, entered the facility elevator, and rode the elevator down to the first floor of the facility. Resident #1 exited the facility through the front door, which was equipped with an electromagnetic locking device (a magnetic lock that is unlocked when de-energized and requires power to remain locked) and was opened by reception staff who thought Resident #1 was a visitor at the facility. Resident #1 was able to walk out the front door of the facility, travel approximately 0.2 miles, along a 4-lane road and was found more than 24 hours later at a nearby apartment complex in a vacant apartment by a member of the community. Resident #1 was discovered by a member of the community on 1/1/2024 at approximately 7:00 PM in a vacant apartment and was returned by facility staff at approximately 7:30 PM. The facility failed to take action to prevent the resident from exiting the facility by not determining and providing the necessary level of supervision, and not distinguishing the resident from visitors of the facility. The resident was not located for approximately 28 hours and 30 minutes. The failure created a situation that resulted in a likelihood for serious injury and/or death to Resident #1 and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy on 12/31/2023. The findings of Immediate Jeopardy were determined to be removed on 1/12/2024 and the severity and scope was reduced to a D. Findings included: A review of the facility policy titled Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation, & Misappropriation, last revised on 11/16/2022 revealed under the section titled Policy it is inherent in the nature and dignity of each resident at the center that he/she be afforded basic human rights, including the right to be free from abuse, neglect, mistreatment, exploitation, and/or misappropriation of property.

Residents Affected - Few An order dated 1/1/2024 to verify placement of the electronic elopement device to the resident's right lower extremity every shift. - An order dated 1/1/2024 to verify functioning of the electronic elopement device to the resident's right ankle every shift for safety. A review of Resident #1's Change in Condition Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation (SBAR) Communication and Progress Note dated 12/31/2023 at 7:41 PM and authored by Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and Unit Manager (UM), revealed under the section titled Situation Resident #1 could not be located in the facility. The note also revealed under the section titled Appearance Staff A, LPN UM looked for Resident #1 on the first floor of the facility after the resident did not return to the unit for the dinner meal. Staff A, LPN UM was not able to locate Resident #1 and the facility's elopement protocol was initiated. Resident #1's Primary Care Physician (PCP) was also notified of Resident #1's elopement at 9:00 PM and a recommendation was made to call 911. A review of Resident #1's care plan revealed a problem, dated 1/1/2024, indicating Resident #1 was a risk for elopement/wanderer related to a history of attempts to leave the facility unattended and impaired safety awareness. Listed interventions included the following: distract the resident from wandering by offering pleasant diversion, structured activities, food, conversation, television, or a book; applying an electronic elopement device to the resident's right lower extremity; monitor the resident's location frequently; and identify patterns of wandering. A review of Resident #1's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 1/2/2024 revealed under Section C - Cognitive Patterns, a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 3, which indicated severely impaired cognition. The assessment also revealed under Section E - Behavior, Resident #1 displayed behaviors of wandering 1 to 3 days of the assessment period, which placed Resident #1 at significant risk of getting to a potentially dangerous place. According to the National Institutes of Health, wandering behavior is one of the most important and challenging management aspects in persons with dementia. Wandering behavior in people with dementia (PwD) is associated with an increased risk of falls, injuries, and fractures, as well as going missing or being lost from a facility. This causes increased distress in caregivers at home and in healthcare facilities. The approach to the comprehensive evaluation of the risk assessment, prevention, and treatment needs more strengthening and effective measures as the prevalence of wandering remains high in the community. Both the caregiver and clinicians need a clear understanding and responsibility of ethical and legal issues while managing and restraining the PwD. The consequences of the wandering can vary from minor injury on the body to severe injury and death. The persistent wandering behavior and weak gait and balance have been shown to increase the risk of falls, fractures, and accidents in PwD. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8543604/#:~:text=Outcome%20of%20Wandering%20in%20Dement (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105417 If continuation sheet Page 4 of 20 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105417 B.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few (BIMS) score of 3, which indicated severely impaired cognition. The assessment also revealed under Section E - Behavior, Resident #1 displayed behaviors of wandering 1 to 3 days of the assessment period, which placed Resident #1 at significant risk of getting to a potentially dangerous place. According to the National Institutes of Health, wandering behavior is one of the most important and challenging management aspects in persons with dementia. Wandering behavior in people with dementia (PwD) is associated with an increased risk of falls, injuries, and fractures, as well as going missing or being lost from a facility. This causes increased distress in caregivers at home and in healthcare facilities. The approach to the comprehensive evaluation of the risk assessment, prevention, and treatment needs more strengthening and effective measures as the prevalence of wandering remains high in the community. Both the caregiver and clinicians need a clear understanding and responsibility of ethical and legal issues while managing and restraining the PwD. The consequences of the wandering can vary from minor injury on the body to severe injury and death. The persistent wandering behavior and weak gait and balance have been shown to increase the risk of falls, fractures, and accidents in PwD. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8543604/#:~:text=Outcome%20of%20Wandering%20in%20Dementia,to%2 An interview was conducted on 1/9/2024 at 12:59 PM with Staff A, LPN UM, who was Resident #1's assigned nurse on 12/31/2023 for the 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM shift.

Resident #1 was not at his previous address. Residents Affected - Few On 12/31/2023 around 10:00 PM, local law enforcement arrived at the facility and gathered information from the facility about Resident #1 to assist in finding the resident. Local law enforcement advised the facility a search in the local community would be conducted to find Resident #1.

Several facility staff conducted searches throughout the community in an attempt to locate Resident #1. Resident #1 was not located at any surrounding hospital and was not found in the community. On 1/1/2024 at 6:28 PM, the NHA was notified by facility staff a member of the community may have located Resident #1 at a nearby apartment complex approximately 0.2 miles from the facility in a vacant apartment. Local law enforcement was notified, and facility staff went to the apartment complex. Resident #1 was discovered inside of the vacant apartment and was brought back to the facility around 7:00 PM.

The facility conducted a root cause analysis of the elopement and determined Resident #1 left with the group of visitors without staff knowledge due to not being recognized as a resident of the facility, facility staff not conducting proper shift-to-shift rounding to verify Resident #1's whereabouts at shift change, staff failing to recognize signs of elopement as evidence by Resident #1 getting on the facility elevator with his hat and jacket on, and Resident #1's elopement assessment not being properly completed upon his admission to the facility on [DATE]. The NHA said on 1/1/2024, a third-party vendor was contacted to install an elopement management system for the facility's front door and the unit was installed on 1/2/2024. The elopement management system works with the resident's electronic elopement device to prevent elopement by locking the door as the resident approaches it and sounding an audible alarm. The DON stated the facility now has a staff member in place on the first floor on a 24 hour basis by the facility elevator to ensure no residents at risk for elopement attempt to leave the facility. The DON also stated all facility staff had in-service education related to elopement and the elopement policy, abuse, neglect, and exploitation, the leave of absence (LOA) policy, and identification of wandering/elopement behaviors, which was completed on 1/4/2024.
