Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure, for one of
three sampled residents (Resident 1), that
Resident 1, assessed as a high risk for
elopement (leaving the facility without
supervision) received supervision to prevent
the resident from eloping from the facility. This
failure had the potential to result in an accident
or death.
Findings:
On August 29, 2018 at 8:50 AM, the facility
was entered to investigate a facility reported
incident of Resident 1's elopement from the
facility on August 27, 2018 at approximately
4:30 PM.
During an observation on August 29, 2018 at
8:50 AM, of the facility entry and lobby area, it
was observed that the main facility entrance
was a glass door into a lobby area. There were
double wooden doors that were closed but
allowed entry into the facility. There was a
receptionist window in the lobby.
During a review of Resident 1's Face Sheet (a
document that gives a patient's information at a
quick glance), it showed the resident was
admitted to the facility on September 22, 2017,
with diagnoses that included difficulty walking,
muscle weakness, psychosis (a mental
disorder) and schizophrenia (a mental
disorder).
Review of the Charge Nurse's Notes dated
August 27, 2018 at 11:14 PM, showed the
following:
"around 3pm received resident lay on her bed
comfortably awake alert verbally responsive
with episodes of forgetfulness/confusion.

A review of the Medication Administration
Record (MAR) dated August 27, 2018, showed
the charge nurse documentation of Resident
1's whereabouts. The resident was missing
about 4:30 PM on August 27, 2018 and the
charge nurse documented the resident's
whereabouts every two hours until 10:00 PM.
The entry for 6:00 PM, 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM
were crossed out and the reason for the
crossed out entries was documented as an

received report at the change of shift, she saw
her (Resident 1) in bed. When she talked to
Resident 1 the resident was laughing and in a
good mood. A little later she when she gave the
resident medication she was in bed. She stated
shortly after that she saw the Certified Nursing
Assistant 1 (CNA 1) chasing her down the
hallway because the wander guard alarmed.
The resident went to business office to get
money for dinner, she often did that. CNA 1
said it was OK she was just getting some
money. She did not come back. It was about
4:30 PM. Called a Code Green (emergency
code for a missing resident) and we searched
for her. That is all I know. When asked about
her crossed out entries on the MAR, she stated
she doesn't remember crossing out her initials
on the MAR.
A review of Resident 1's Care Plan for "At risk
for elopement/wandering AEB (As Evidenced
By) impaired safety awareness," initiated on
June 4, 2018, showed the following
interventions:
"At high risk for elopement-Visual checks every
2 hours and document whereabouts/location.
Charge nurses/QA (Quality Assessment nurse)
& or RN check placement & function of
Wander-guard q (every) shift.
Psych (Psychiatric physician) consult and as

The care plan did not address actions for staff
to take when the wander guard alarm sounded,
such as redirecting the resident or
accompanying them to the outside to prevent
leaving the facility premises.
On August 31, 2018 at 4:25 PM, an Immediate
Jeopardy was called in the presence of the
Director of Nurses (DON) and the Infection
Control/QA nurse, for not developing an
intervention specific care plan that included
supervising the resident when nearing an exit,
contributing to Resident 1's elopement from the
facility.
The Immediate Jeopardy was abated on
August 31, 2018 at 5:48 PM, after receiving an
acceptable corrective action plan and
conducting record review and interviews to
ensure the corrective action plan was
implemented. The action plan was as follows:
"All residents are been assessed for elopement
risks.
Provided education to current staff on
elopement risks and will continue to educate
staff throughout each shift on how to assist and
monitor elopement risks residents.
