the (full body mechanical lift device). I didn't really like it because it felt like I was just swinging, and it scared
me. Now they are using the sit-to-stand device to get me up. They do have problems with it sometimes
because I can't really put any weight on my legs, so I just sit in the sling. There have been times when it
doesn't get me up enough, so they have to use the emergency button to put me back down.

got out about eight or nine times, but usually it is only a couple times a day.
On 12/28/22 at 1:25 PM, V1, Administrator, stated, The only thing we can do for (R30) is one-on-one with

She is still getting out a door, she is a handful. We have an anklet on her, but it does not work for all of the
doors. I plan on calling one of our sister facilities to see if they would be willing to take her in a locked unit. I
also plan on having a care plan meeting with (R30's) daughter and see if she is willing to transfer her. At
this point, it is becoming a safety issue. I have nightmares about her disappearing and every time my phone
rings I worry that it is the facility calling me about her.

out, has a (exit alarm anklet) around her left ankle.

On 12/27/22 at 12:45 PM, R30 was wandering around the facility, walking in/out other resident rooms, up
and down the halls. No staff member was walking with or supervising R30.
On 12/28/22 at 10:40 AM, R30 was wandering the halls and went into her room to sit down. V11, CNA, was
assigned to be a one-on-one with R30; however, V11 came from the opposite hall and entered R30's room
to check on her.
On 12/28/22 at 12:18 PM, R30 pushed the Facility's front door open, and alarm went off. Staff quickly
stopped R30 from exiting.
On 12/29/22 at 1:49 PM, R30 was seen walking through a door at the end of her hallway which goes to
another section of the building. There was no staff with R30. The alarm went off, but that alarm shuts itself
off as soon as the door is closed. R30 walked around the back area, which is located by the Therapy
Department, and then went straight to the outer door which exits to the outside and was next to the
conference room the IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) Surveyors were in. R30 pressed open the
outside exit door and the alarm sounded. There were no staff seen in the area at the time, so for resident
safety reasons, the Surveyors stopped R30 from exiting out of the building. V16, PTA (Physical Therapist
Assistant), arrived and came over to assist with R30. Once R30 pressed open the outside exit door and the
alarm sounded. V6, CNA, came running into the area in a panic, and escorted R30 back to her hallway.
On 12/29/22 at 2:20 PM, V1, Administrator, stated, Well, (R30) is supposed to have one-on-one and I'm not
sure where that person is right now. I have already called (R30's) daughter and we have a Care Plan
meeting with her tomorrow (12/30/22) at 11:00 AM, with regards to all of this, so hopefully we can do
something for her.
On 1/3/23 at 9:30 AM, V1, Administrator, stated, We had the Care Plan meeting last Friday (12/30/22) with
(R30's Daughter) and we are all in agreement that (R30) needs to be transferred to a more secure facility. I
sent three referrals to local area facilities and the first one said no, that (R30) would not be a good fit for

R1's MDS, dated [DATE], documents R1 is cognitively intact (BIMS/Brief Interview for Mental Status is 15)
and requires extensive assistance from one staff member for bed mobility, transfer, dressing, and bathing.
R1 requires extensive assistance from two staff members for toilet use.
On 12/27/22 at 10:25 AM, R1 stated, It takes two staff members to assist me in using the sit-to-stand
device.
On 1/3/23 at 2:00 PM, R1 stated, When I first came back from the hospital a long time ago, they were using
the (full body mechanical lift device). I didn't really like it because it felt like I was just swinging, and it scared
me. Now they are using the sit-to-stand device to get me up. They do have problems with it sometimes
because I can't really put any weight on my legs, so I just sit in the sling. There have been times when it
doesn't get me up enough, so they have to use the emergency button to put me back down.
On 1/3/23 at 2:45 PM, V8, CNA, stated, We always use the Sit-To-Stand with (R1). I have only been here
about a month, and we have used that since I have been here. I have noticed that she has been
deteriorating lately while trying to use the sit-to-stand. She hasn't been as strong with it as she has before.
I'm not sure why the Care Plan says to use the (full body mechanical lift).
On 12/28/22 at 10:42 AM, R1 was assisted by V5, CNA, and V10, CNA, with a transfer from her bed to her
wheelchair using a sit-to-stand device instead of a full body mechanical lift as documented in R1's Care
Plan. V5 and V10 put the device's sling around R1, attached the straps to the lift device, and lifted R1 off
her bed as R1 held the handles of the device. R1 was sitting in the sling as her legs were bent and not
supporting her during the transfer. V10 operated the lift device as V5 held R1 as they moved her to her
wheelchair. R1 was then lowered to her wheelchair. There was no gait belt used on R1 as indicated in the
Care Plan. R1 confirmed they do not use a gait belt on her, just the sling with belt around her.

Have a registered nurse on duty 8 hours a day; and select a registered nurse to be the director of nurses on
a full time basis.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the Facility failed to provide a full time Director of
Nursing (DON) and failed to provide a Registered Nurse (RN) 8 hours a day 7 days a week. This has the
potential to affect all 29 residents in the facility.
Findings include:
During the survey, there was no Director of Nursing (DON) and no RN coverage.
The Facility's Nursing Schedule for November and December 2022 were reviewed and documents there
was no RN on duty the entire month of December.
On 12/28/22 at 1:15 PM, V1, Administrator, stated, Our staffing matrix right now is one LPN (Licensed
Practical Nurse) for Days and one LPN for Nights. We usually run with four to five CNAs (Certified Nursing
Assistant) on each shift.
On 12/28/22 at 1:20 PM, V1 stated, On the November Nurses Schedule, from the first through the fifteenth,
the DON was the only RN working Monday through Friday. Our DON quit on us around 12/5/22. Since then,
we have not had an RN working here, and we are having a hard time finding RNs. All of our current nurses
are LPN's. We do have a Regional Nurse who will come in every now and then to help out, but as of now,
we only have an LPN schedule because we only have LPN's.
On 1/4/23 at 9:12 AM, V1 stated, I have tried to use Social Media, texts, emails and other means to ask
nurses if they wanted to work here, and as of today, I still can't find anyone. We do use an agency to
provide nurses when needed. I feel like if we had a strong DON, things will turn around here.
The Facility's Nurse Staffing Policy, undated, documents, It is the policy of (Facility) to provide sufficient
licensed and unlicensed nursing staff on each shift of the day to attain or maintain the highest practical
physical, mental and psychosocial well-being of each resident. Nurse staffing shall be based upon resident
