This affected two (#53 and #20) of five residents reviewed for behaviors. The current census was 68. Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #53's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses for Resident #53 include dementia, aphasia, heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident has impaired cognition and was not coded as having wandering behaviors. Review of Resident #53's care plans dated April 2023 revealed there was no focus for behaviors including elopement and wandering. Review of a self-reported incident (SRI) dated 05/15/23 revealed on 05/15/23 Resident #53 walked out of the locked dementia unit, but did not leave the building. Per the report, the resident was observed on the hallway outside of the locked unit knocking on the door to get back into the dementia unit. Further review of the report revealed the resident's wife had visited and the resident may have followed her out of the unit and then attempted to return to the locked unit. Review of a facility investigation on 05/15/23 revealed the resident's wife had been to visit the resident and was leaving the locked unit, and the resident followed her out of the unit. Resident #53 then knocked on the door to return to the unit. Resident #53's Wandergaurd (alerting device worn by individuals at risk for elopement) was checked, and the Wanderguard locked all doors leading outside of the facility. A code alert bracelet was added as an intervention to lock the dementia unit doors. Review of the Resident #53's progress notes dated 05/24/23 at 8:51 A.M. revealed the resident continued to have wandering behaviors of attempting to enter other resident's rooms and trying to exit the unit causing alarms to sound. Interview on 07/12/23 at 3:30 P.M. with State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #108 and Hospitality Aide (HA) #216 stated Resident #53 had wandering behaviors and needed to be checked on frequently.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few #108 was unsure if the resident had a Wanderguard and code alert bracelet or just a Wanderguard.

Neither STNA #108 nor HA #216 were able to see the behaviors and interventions for such behaviors in the resident's care plans.
