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

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.

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). Staff E,
CNA stated that she was not aware of Resident #49 having seizure precautions in place and addressed
that Resident #49 did not have padded side rails.
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.

Staff F, LPN stated that normally she would not clean the nebulizer mask before putting it back into the
storage bag and was not sure how the nebulizer mask could be cleaned.
An interview was conducted on 06/04/2021 at 10:30 AM with Staff H, Registered Nurse (RN) Unit Manager
and Assistant Director of Nursing. Staff H, RN stated that when nebulizer treatments were completed, the
mask should be cleaned before placing it back into the storage bag and that respiratory equipment was
changed out weekly on Sundays during the night shift, including the storage bags.
An interview was conducted on 06/04/2021 at 12:39 PM with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON). The
DON stated that it was her expectation that staff members should be storing respiratory equipment, such
as nebulizer masks and oxygen tubing, inside of a storage bag when it was not in use and that nurse's
should be wiping down the mask with soap and water before storage. The DON stated that respiratory
equipment was supposed to be changed out every week, and she would expect nursing staff to return to
the resident's room to ensure that respiratory equipment was properly stored, even if the resident was able
to remove it themselves.
A review of the facility policy titled Nebulizer Therapy, implemented in 2020, revealed under the section
titled Care of the Equipment the following procedures:
- Clean after each use.
- Wash hands before handling equipment.
- Disassemble parts after every treatment.
- Rinse the nebulizer cup and mouthpiece with sterile or distilled water.
- Shake off excess water.
- Air dry on an absorbent towel.
- Once completely dry, store the nebulizer cup and the mouthpiece in a zip lock bag.
- Change nebulizer tubing every 7 days.
