**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to follow their Community Privileges and Notice of Resident
Rights and Responsibilities policies by not obtaining a doctor's order or consent from the durable Power of
Attorney (POA) prior to allowing a resident to leave on pass with a family member. This affected one of
three residents (R1) reviewed for pass privilege policy and procedure.
Findings Include:
R1 was admitted on with the diagnosis of Dementia with Lewy Bodies, Traumatic Brain Injury and Cognitive
Communication Deficit.
R1's Brief Interview for Mental Status, dated 8/19/24, documents a score of ninety-nine, which indicates the
resident was unable to complete the interview with short (recall after five minutes) and long term memory
problems.
R1's Community survival /risk, dated 8/10/2024, documents: Resident (R1) is new to the facility with Lewy
Body and alert times one. It is recommended and agreed upon with her surrogate (V19) that resident is not
capable physically or cognitively able to go into the community independently. It is recommended she may
go with (V19) (ONLY) with primary care physician (PCP) order. She (V19) is aware that when leaving the
property she will need to sign her off the unit and sign her back in on the floor when she returns.
Nursing note, dated 10/14/24, documents: R1 accompanied by V19 went out on pass.
On 11/12/24 at 2:55PM, V20 (R1's POA) said the facility called and asked when was she going to bring R1
back to the facility. V20 said she had never been to the facility to visit R1 because she lives out of the state.
V20 was unable to report who called from the facility. V20 said she never gave permission for anyone to
take R1 out on pass. V20 said she feared for R1's safety, and called the police to do a [NAME] being check,
because the facility did not know who took R1 out on pass.
On 11/13/24 at 11:21AM, V4 ( Social Service Director )said, In order for a resident to go out on pass, they
must have a doctor order, completed community assessment and be safe to go out. It is the same protocol
for Dementia resident, but the Power of Attorney (POA) must be notified as well.
On 11/13/24 at 12:30PM, V1 (Administrator) said R1 was admitted to the facility by V19 (surrogate decision
maker). V1 said, We found out about (V20, R1's POA) on 9/7/24. (V20) sent a copy of the POA paperwork
with (V20's) name on it on 9/9/24. (V20) was responsible for (R1).
