A Change in Condition form, with an effective date of 01/22/23, showed the resident was observed outside on the street ambulance entrance on 01/22/23. Residents Affected - Few A review of the Progress Notes, dated 01/22/23 at 1755, revealed the writer was alerted by a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) that the resident was not in his room when she went in to serve his dinner tray. The writer immediately went to the dining room as the resident chose to eat there. While exiting the dining room, the writer looked down on the street and saw the resident looking into the window from outside the ambulance entrance. While bringing the resident back inside, he stated he was getting money. The supervisor and the writer assisted him back to his room. Body audit done with no indicators. He proceeded to eat dinner, pleasant mood. Family and doctor notified. Resident was on 15-minute checks.

The DON stated they had a reportable incident related to an elopement on 01/23/23. A CNA reported to the assigned nurse that she couldn't find Resident #17 in his room or dining room. The assigned nurse, Staff E, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), started to look for him. The nurse went into the resident's room, and he wasn't there. He then checked the dining room, and he wasn't there. Staff E, LPN, observed Resident #17 outside of the building looking into the window of the facility. The resident was outside at the ambulance entrance looking in. When Resident #17 was brought back in, he stated he was trying to get money. The Administration during the time of the incident reenacted what happened. Resident #17 apparently went to the side doors and exited on the side patio door. The resident stated he want out with a female, but they couldn't identify a female. He can read. The sign on the door states push until alarm sounds, door can be open in 15 seconds. He knew how to alert staff to let him back in the building. Prior to the incident, he didn't express interest in leaving the facility. A body audit was completed, and the resident did not have any injuries. Resident #17 was placed on 1 to 1. His wanderguard was working with no issues. He was identified as an elopement risk prior to this incident with a BIMS of 08. The resident was seen shortly before the incident at the nursing station asking for coffee. He went back down to his room. It was at 17:55 when the CNA alerted the nurse. The CNA went into the room to serve the dinner tray and he was not there. They reeducated staff and did missing resident drills. Staff did a count to make sure everyone was accounted for. After the incident, all residents were reviewed for elopement assessments. They had a systemic change in two things. They didn't have a receptionist at that time when Resident #17 got out of the building. They have a receptionist now until 9:00 p.m. The door he went out of is no longer used. Only the Administration has the code now. Prior to the incident, visitors were using that door.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure splints were applied to prevent a decrease in range of motion for one resident (#45) of two sampled resident for range of motion. Residents Affected - Few Findings included: An observation conducted of Resident #45, on 04/10/2023 at 9:58 AM and 04/13/2023 at 10:00 AM, revealed Resident #45 in his bed, without any splints or braces on his hands. Both of his hands were observed each time with closed, fingers bent and touching the palms. A review of Resident #45's admission Record revealed diagnoses that included Hemiplegia (partial paralysis) following cerebral infarction (stroke) affecting left non-dominant side and dementia without behavioral disturbance. A review of Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 03/04/2023, Section C: Cognitive Pattern, revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 0/15, which indicated the resident was severely cognitively impaired. Section G: Functional Status revealed he required extensive to total assistance with mobility and activities of daily living (ADL) performance and had functional limitations in range of motion on one side for upper extremity (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand) and lower extremity (hip, knee, ankle foot). In addition the MDS did not have a restorative program marked. A review of the Order Review Report with active physician orders as of 04/13/2023 reflected the following: May have restorative/maintenance programs as indicated, order date 08/20/2022. The care plan for Resident #45 revealed a focus area for complications due to a stroke affecting the left side/Hemiplegia, which included interventions: Monitor/document mobility status. If resident is presenting with any problems or paralysis, obtain order for Physical therapy and Occupational therapy to evaluate and treat, initiated 04/21/2021.

She stated she remembered him with splints, but therapy puts them on and off. She hasn't seen them for a while. Residents Affected - Few An interview was conducted with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) on 04/13/2023 at 09:11 AM. She stated therapy screens all residents not on current case load, quarterly, for position/contracture management and other declines. If any change status, then therapy will request orders for evaluation and treatment from the physician. Nursing also can give us a request for therapy to screen based on observation of a problem. In regards to, [Resident #45] the DOR stated he was seen for OT (Occupational Therapy) in November 2022. He is currently in an active restorative program. The DON is acting as our restorative nurse, at this time. We have two CNAs that are assigned to assist with the tasks for the restorative program. Resident #45 was discharged from OT on 11/17/22 with the splint to left upper extremity and right had slim grip. The DOR provided a document titled THERAPY TO RESTORATIVE NURSING COMMUNICATION, for Resident #45. The form revealed PT/OT/ST (Physical Therapy/Occupational Therapy/Speech Therapy) Functional Maintenance Intervention Suggestions:, under Bracing/Splinting was checked for the Type: Left Upper Extremity (LUE) resting hand/right upper extremity (RUE) slim grip; Body Part: LUE/RUE; Wearing Schedule: 6 hours, a day 5 days a week. Under section Adaptive Equipment/Special Instruction given: the therapist documented, Conduct passive range of motion (PROM) on bilateral upper extremities (BUE's) prior to orthotic application, 5 repetitions for 3 sets. Conduct hand hygiene prior to application. Client is to wear orthotic's for 6 hours a day 5 days a week for ongoing duration as tolerated. Perform skin checks before and after application.
