1. Resident A's one-to-one sitter (constant
observer for residents requiring direct
supervision for safety) was discontinued
without a completed evaluation of safety by the
interdisciplinary team;
2. Resident A, who was identified with
elopement (leaving without accompaniment or
knowledge of staff) risks, did not have an
elopement evaluation on multiple admissions to
the facility; and
3. Resident A's elopement risk care plan to
provide a one-to-one sitter was not
implemented;
This failure resulted in Resident A's attempted
elopement by jumping off the facility's entrance
porch, causing multiple injuries, rehospitalization, and increased the potential for
further harm, injuries, or even death.
Findings:
On November 20, 2017, at 10:05 a.m., an
unannounced visit was made to the facility for
the investigation of a facility-reported incident.
On November 20, 2017, at 10:12 a.m.,
Resident A was observed in bed, awake, with a
one-to-one sitter at the bedside. In a concurrent
interview with Resident A, she stated she
jumped over the balcony a few weeks ago.
Resident A was able to answer basic questions
consistently. She stated, prior to her going out
onto the balcony, she was "pissed that day"
with some of the nurses because she wanted
to go downstairs but they did not allow her to
do so. Resident A stated how she got out of her
room through the sliding doors, climbed onto
the rails of the balcony on the second floor of
the building, and walked on the roof of the
entrance porch. Resident A pointed out the

On December 19, 2017, at 11:25 a.m.,
Resident A's record was reviewed with the
Director of Nursing (DON). The DON confirmed
there was no elopement evaluation completed
on Resident A's admission and readmission to
the facility on October 7, 2017, and October 30,
2017. The DON confirmed there was no
evaluation by the physician or the
interdisciplinary team for the safety of Resident
A before discontinuing the 1:1 sitter on October
20, 2017. The DON stated the sitter was
discontinued due to non-coverage by the
insurance, and the care plan for 1:1 sitter was
not properly implemented.
The facility's policy and procedure titled,
"Elopement-Policy and Assessment, revised
October 2007," was reviewed. The policy
indicated:
"It is the policy of this facility to provide a safe
environment for all residents. The facility will
properly assess residents and plan their care to
prevent accidents related to wandering
behavior or elopement...elopement is defined
as slipping away secretly, running away,
leaving without accompaniment or knowledge
of the staff...
...Each resident's level of supervision required
will be assessed...This information will be
documented in the resident's medical record,
and used in the care planning process...
...Residents with an elopement incident from
the facility either on or off the grounds shall be
considered at higher risk for further attempts at
elopement...If exacerbation of the behavior
continues, 1:1 supervision will be considered
until the physician can assess the resident for
cause..."
