Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to prevent elopement by failing to identify behaviors of wandering/exit seeking and elopement, re-evaluate for risk of elopement, notify the physician and family of exit seeking behaviors, and develop/implement targeted behavior tracking and person-centered interventions to address exit seeking behavior for one resident (R11) reviewed for elopement in the sample list of 14. This failure resulted in R11, a resident with a known history of exit seeking and diagnosis of Dementia, leaving the facility alone and unnoticed by climbing through a window. R11 was found by a member of the community, approximately two tenths of a mile on a residential street/roadway without sidewalks, a state highway and railroad tracks approximately a quarter mile away, wearing dark clothing, while using a walker, by himself(R11) on the side of the road. R11 had the potential for serious injury and/or death of being struck by a motor vehicle or falling. This failure resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy. The Immediate Jeopardy began on 5/11/23 when R11 eloped from the facility unnoticed after repeatedly exhibiting exit seeking behavior within the previous three months. V1 Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 5/31/23 at 3:34 PM. The surveyor confirmed by observation, interview, and record review that the immediacy was removed on 5/31/23, but noncompliance remains at Level Two because additional time is needed for the facility to continue staff education and evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the in-service training.
Findings include: The facility's incident summary of R11's elopement documents on 5/11/23 at approximately 8:10 PM another resident (R12) notified staff that R12 observed R11 exit the facility. The Elopement Policy was activated, a search was initiated, and R11 was found at approximately 8:20 PM and returned to the facility. The incident investigation dated 5/11/23 and 5/12/23 document V10 Labor & Delivery Nurse brought R11 back to the facility, and R11 had been found on [NAME] Street (approximately two tenths of a mile away from the facility). R11 told V10 that R11 was going to R11's hometown. R12 was interviewed and recalls seeing R11 climb out of the window. R12 did not notify staff because R12 did not want R11 upset with R12. A local web based weather application documents sunset was at 8:00 PM on 5/11/23. R11's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R11 has a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 7 indicating severe cognitive impairment, and R11 did not have any wandering behaviors noted during the 7 day review period. R11's MDS dated [DATE] documents R11 has a BIMs score of 3,

Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety
R11's Nursing Notes document the following: On 3/7/23 at 2:06 PM R11 attempted to walk out the front door of the facility twice. On 3/12/23 at 5:09 AM R11 set off the door alarm and was found by the door. R11 stated R11 wanted to go out to R11's car to get something. On 3/15/23 at 2:46 AM R11's departure alert system activated the door alarm near the facility's entrance and R11 was redirected to the living room area. R11 stated R11 wanted to leave. On 3/16/23 at 3:18 AM R11 wandered down the east hall and attempted to open the door to the garden. On 3/18/23 at 4:34 AM R11 went outside to look for R11's car and was brought back into the facility. R11's departure alert system had not activated the door alarm. A second departure alert device was added to R11's wheeled walker. On 4/7/23 at 6:56 PM staff observed R11 exiting the building and intercepted R11 in the parking lot.

There is no documentation that R11's wandering/exit seeking behaviors were routinely tracked and monitored including the development and implementation of nonpharmacological interventions to respond to R11's behaviors. There are no documented elopement risk assessments completed in R11's medical record after 3/8/23 until 5/23/23. There is no documentation that R11's physician and family were notified of R11's exit seeking and wandering behaviors until 5/11/23 after R11 eloped from the facility. On 5/30/23 at 1:23 PM the perimeter of the facility near the sunroom was observed. There is a concrete slab adjacent to the windows, landscape rock and bushes, and a grassy 45 degree berm that leads to an uneven, grass yard. The concrete slab does not connect to a sidewalk.

There is approximately 1 foot of gravel on each side of the road with grassy ditches. Railroad tracks and Highway 54 are South of where R11 was found, approximately 1/4 mile away. On 5/30/23 at 1:03 PM R11 stated R11 recalls getting out of the facility a few weeks ago. R11 stated R11 climbed out the facility window when no one was looking, and R11 was trying to get to R11's hometown. R11 stated R11 walked down the road that evening and someone picked R11 up and brought R11 back to the facility. R11 stated there were no sidewalks, so R11 had to walk on the edge of the road. On 5/30/23 at 11:20 AM V9 (R12's Family) stated V9 received a call from R12 around 8:15 PM on 5/11/23 reporting that R11 got out of the facility through the sunroom window, and no staff had witnessed R11 leave the facility.

V10 stated R11 got into R11's van, and V10 drove R11 around asking if any of the houses were R11's. V10 then asked R11 for R11's address and R11 gave R11's hometown as R11's address. R11 was unaware of what town R11 was currently in. V10 asked about R11's family, discovered R11 was a resident of the facility, and brought R11 back to the facility. On 5/30/23 at 11:58 AM V11 Registered Nurse stated V11 was conducting door alarm checks in March, R11 was out in the parking lot and was trying to get back into the facility through the main entrance.

V11 stated R11 is alert and oriented to person, not place and time, and does not have good safety awareness and decision making ability. R11's exit seeking behaviors seem to be close to the first hour of change of shift from days to evenings, and V11 believes R11's behaviors are triggered by watching staff leave.
