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 provide adequate supervision for 1 of 3
residents (R1) reviewed for elopement risk in the sample of 9. This failure resulted in a cognitively impaired
resident (R1) exiting the facility without staff knowledge and being found approximately one- and one-half
blocks away requiring police calling an ambulance and transporting R1 to a local hospital Emergency
Room.
This failure resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy, which was identified to have begun on 9/13/23 at 9:17am
when R1 exited the facility through the entrance door without supervision and was found by police
approximately one- and one-half blocks from the facility. This past non-compliance occurred from 9/13/23 to
9/13/23.
V1 (Administrator) was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 2/27/24 at 8:30am. The Surveyor confirmed
by observation, record review and interview that the immediacy was removed on 9/13/23.
Findings include:
R1's face sheet documented admission to the facility on 9/10/23 with diagnoses including Unspecified
Dementia, Unspecified Severity with Agitation, Hypertension, Anxiety Disorder.
On 2/21/24 at 8:21am, V16 (Family Member) stated she had to put (R1) in the nursing home due to not
being able to handle him at home. V16 stated (R1) was trying to leave the house and the facility was aware
of this issue.
R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documented a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score
of 6, indicating R1 has severe cognitive impairment. Section GG of this same MDS documented R1
required set up/clean assistance for eating, toileting hygiene, upper and lower body dressing, putting on
footwear, rolling left to right, lying to sitting, sitting to standing, chair to bed transfers, and documented R1's
ability to ambulate up to 150 feet. Section E of this MDS for Wandering-Presence and Frequency
documents behaviors of this type occurred daily and yes was answered to the question does wandering
place the resident at significant risk of getting to a potentially dangerous place (e.g. (for example) stairs,
outside of facility).
R1's admission Elopement Risk Assessment completed 9/10/23 documented a score of 4, indicating a high
risk of elopement. R1's Elopement Risk Tool completed on 9/10/23 documented Elopement Risk Summary:
