What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 8 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, interviews, observation, and policy review the facility did not ensure a care plan was developed for wandering for one (#65) of 40 sampled residents, and the facility failed to implement the plan of care for seizure precautions for one (#49) of 40 sampled residents. Findings included: 1. On 6/02/21 at 8:55 AM, an interview was conducted with Resident #7. Resident #7 reported that Resident #65 goes in everybody's rooms, takes things, puts the items in her room, and the staff get the items back. Resident #7 said he has found Resident #65 laying in his bed. The staff just let her do whatever she wants. Resident #7 had not talked to anyone in the facility about it because he didn't know who to talk to. Resident #7 stated the staff all know about it, but he thinks they don't watch Resident #65 good enough because there is not enough staff. A review of Resident #65's admission record revealed a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. A review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score of 3, indicating severe cognitive impairment. Further review of the MDS, section E, behaviors, revealed wandering behaviors had occurred one to three days in the 7 day look back period. A review of Resident #65's care plan dated 3/15/21 revealed no evidence that a care plan for wandering behaviors had been developed. On 6/03/21 at 9:32 AM, Staff D, LPN (licensed practical nurse) MDS coordinator said, I don't see a wandering care plan. Social Services does the wandering care plans. I am not sure they do a care plan for the locked unit. On 6/03/21 at 9:42 AM, an observation was conducted on the Happy Trails secure unit. Resident #65 was not found in her room and could not be found anywhere in the hallway or common areas. Further observation revealed Resident #65 was in Resident #82's bed covered in blankets wearing her pajamas. On 6/03/21 at 9:47 AM, an observation and interview was conducted with Staff C, CNA (certified nursing assistant). Staff C, CNA said she has worked on the secure unit for five years. Staff C, CNA indicated Resident #65's room was not where Resident #65 was found by the surveyor. Staff C, CNA confirmed Resident #65 does wander. She said Resident #65 does have a wandering care plan, but she doesn't know what it is. Staff C, CNA also confirmed Resident #65 was in Resident #82's room in Resident #82's bed. Staff C, CNA said Resident #65 does it all the time. She wanders. Resident #65 also takes other residents' things sometimes. Staff C, CNA said, we try to redirect her. She takes shoes or blankets. None of the other residents have complained that she knows of. Staff redirect Resident #65 out (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few of the room and show her where her room is. Staff C, CNA went into Resident #82's room and asked Resident #65 to come with her so she could show her where her room was. On 6/03/21 at 9:53 AM, an interview was conducted with Staff A, CNA. Staff A, CNA said she has worked on the secure unit about five years. Staff A, CNA said Oh yes, she wanders. Staff A, CNA also said Resident #65 has been found in other residents' beds. Staff redirect Resident #65 to her room and change the linens on the other resident's bed. Staff A, CNA said, we try to watch her very closely; try to redirect her. We try to keep a close eye on her. Other residents have told staff Resident #65 was in their room. If we see her we'll go get her. On 6/03/21 at 9:55 AM, an observation was conducted. Resident #65 was observed wandering through the hallway. She began following the nurse down the hall. On 6/03/21 at 9:57 AM, an interview was conducted with Staff B, LPN. Staff B, LPN said Resident #65 wanders a lot. She does wander into other residents' rooms. We have tried activities. She doesn't like them. We try redirection. Staff B, LPN said other residents have complained including Resident #7 and Resident #153. I have seen her come out with clothing items. She will give it to me. Staff B, LPN confirmed Resident #65 has been found in other residents' beds before. There are quite a few who get confused about their room. We coax her to come out. Sometimes we can talk to her and get her distracted, and sometimes she won't come out so we wait a little bit and try again. On 6/03/21 at 10:07 AM, another observation was conducted. Resident #65 was observed exiting room [ROOM NUMBER], which was not her room. Staff B, LPN invited Resident #65 to go to her room with her to change her clothes. On 6/03/21 at 10:24 AM, an interview was conducted with the Social Services Assistant (SSA). He said there used to be three social service staff members, but currently it was down to just himself. The SSA said he was definitively behind. The SSA said he does do the wandering care plans. We discuss it. We put them on the secure unit if needed. I don't think I probably wrote a care plan for her. On 6/04/21 at 9:34 AM, an interview was conducted with the DON (Director of Nursing). The DON said she would think a care plan for wandering would be created for a resident going into other resident rooms uninvited. The DON said just like a fall, it should probably be put in right away. Review of the policy Elopements and Wandering Residents, dated 2020, revealed the following: Policy: This facility ensures that residents who exhibit wandering behavior and/or are at risk for elopement receive adequate supervision to prevent accidents, and receive care in accordance with their personalized plan of care addressing unique factors contributing to wandering or elopement risk. Definitions: Wandering is random or repetitive locomotion that may be goal-directed (e.g., the person appears to be searching for something such as an exit) or non-goal directed or aimless.

F 0656 observed to be padded. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm An interview was conducted on 06/04/21 at 8:50 AM with the facility's DON. The DON stated that Resident #49 was known to have a seizure disorder, but had not had a seizure in a long time. The DON also stated that the nursing staff had been putting padding on Resident #49's side rails but then stated I guess they don't need them anymore. The DON then stated that if Resident #49 had a physician's order for padded side rails then the side rails should be padded. The DON stated that she was not sure if Resident #49 needed the padded side rails anymore because she had been working as the DON at the facility for 2 months and no residents had experienced a seizure. The DON also stated that she would think that if Resident #49 had a diagnosis of a seizure disorder and was on medications for seizure, then the resident should have seizure precautions in place. The DON was not able to state whether or not Resident #49 had padded side rails in place. Residents Affected - Few An interview was conducted on 06/04/2021 at 9:45 AM with Staff E, Certified Nurse's Aide (CNA).

An interview was conducted on 06/04/2021 at 9:55 AM with Staff F, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Staff F, LPN verified by looking at Resident #49's Physician's Orders that Resident #49 had an order for seizure precautions, but Staff F, LPN was not able to state what seizure precautions meant. Staff F, LPN addressed that Resident #49 did not have padded side rails but did have a physician's order for them.
