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
record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure Resident #56 was provided adequate supervision to
prevent an attempted elopement, and failed to investigate a fall and re-assess the resident to determine if
current fall interventions remained appropriate to prevent future falls. This affected one (Resident #56) of
five residents reviewed for accidents and hazards.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #56's medical record revealed the resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses
including major depressive disorder, aphasia, hemiplegia and hemiparesis following a cerebral infarction
affecting the right dominant side.
Review of Resident #56's Wandering Risk assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was low risk for
wandering.
Review of Resident #56's Elopement Risk Assessment form dated 01/26/24 revealed the resident was a
low risk for elopement.
Review of Resident #56's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed the
resident exhibited moderate cognitive impairment.
Review of a progress note dated 02/03/24 timed 8:30 P.M. authored by Registered Nurse (RN) #828
revealed RN #828 assessed Resident #56 due to a change in behavior. Resident #56 was observed pulling
his brief out of his pants and trying to wrap the brief around the arm rest of his wheelchair. Resident #56
was also observed yelling in the hallway three feet from his room. RN #828 called the physician to report
Resident #56 had deviated from his baseline behavior. The physician gave orders for bloodwork. The note
further indicated at 7:20 P.M., RN #828 went to check on Resident #56 and the resident's room was dark
and his wheelchair was on the left side of the bed near the window. A search was immediately conducted
inside and outside the facility. Each unit was alerted to the missing resident. The administrator was called
for guidance. The administrator provided instruction to call the family and find out if the resident went on a
leave of absence (LOA). The family denied taking the resident on a LOA. The administrator arrived and
searched outside. After an unknown time, the resident was found. He was dressed in pants, long-sleeved
shirt, orange baseball cap and winter jacket. He was very agitated and a WanderGuard (a bracelet that
triggers alarms and can lock monitored doors) was initiated and the resident's room was changed. Resident
#56 was alert to self only. The physician was alerted to the incident and Resident #56 was sent to the
emergency room (ER) for evaluation .
Review of Resident #56's progress note dated 02/04/24 timed 5:20 A.M. authored by Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON) #808 revealed Resident #56 returned from the hospital and all assessments, labs and

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Interview on 03/04/24 at 4:56 P.M. with the administrator revealed he came to the facility within five minutes
of being called by the staff. Resident #56 was outside by the assisted living (AL) located on the same
property when found by State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #863. The administrator indicated staff
brought Resident #56 back into the facility and assessed him. Resident #56 was on the property in back of
the skilled nursing facility, by the AL. The administrator indicated he spent approximately forty-five minutes
communicating with Resident #56 and found out the niece was in the building earlier in the day which
aggravated Resident #56 and caused him to become upset and want to go home. The administrator stated
Resident #56 was not in a wheelchair when the staff found him. Resident #56 walked out of the building
although he was normally wheelchair bound due to right sided weakness. The staff had never observed
Resident #56 walking independently prior to the incident.
Residents Affected - Few
Telephone interview on 03/04/24 at 5:09 P.M. with RN #828 revealed she was approached by STNA #849
who asked her to assess Resident #56. Resident #56 was sitting outside of his room door pulling his brief
out of his pants and attempting to wrap it around the arm of his wheelchair. RN #828 stated Resident #56
appeared off his baseline and she called the physician. Physician #916 ordered bloodwork and a urinalysis.
Upon checking in on Resident #56, approximately 30 minutes later, his room was dark, the lights were off,
and his wheelchair was next to the window. RN #828 started looking for Resident #56 in the hallways and
had an STNA look outside. RN #828 got the other staff involved, everyone was searching, and the
administrator was called. The STNA (STNA #856) came back inside the building and reported she could
not find Resident #56. Another STNA, STNA #863 eventually found Resident #56 outside on the property.
RN #828 was not sure how Resident #56 got out of the building. RN #828 indicated the entire incident took
place between 7:00 P.M. and 8:00 P.M.; she was aware Resident #56 was missing at approximately 7:20
P.M. When Resident #56 was located, brought back inside the facility, and returned to his room at
approximately 8:00 P.M. she completed an assessment.
Interview on 03/04/24 at 5:34 P.M. with STNA #856 revealed she was Resident #56's caregiver on
02/03/24. STNA #856 indicated she asked Resident #56 if he wanted something to drink, went to obtain the
drink and came back to deliver the drink to find the resident was missing. STNA #856 stated she alerted the
nurse immediately. She stated the staff looked in every closet and every room. She looked in the front part
of the building and then her co-worker, STNA #863, found Resident #56 on the curb in front of the assisted
living facility located on the same property. STNA #856 stated there was not a sidewalk and he apparently
was tired from the walk and sat down on the curb. STNA #856 was not sure how long he was gone but she
did observe him in his room maybe ten to fifteen minutes prior. STNA #856 said STNA #863 used her
personal car to look for Resident #56 and observed the resident sitting on the curb. STNA #863 parked her
car at the adjacent daycare and walked over to Resident #56 so she would not startle him. STNA #863
convinced Resident #56 to return to her car and drove him back to the facility.
A follow up interview on 03/05/24 at 8:43 A.M. with the administrator revealed he thought Resident #56 may
have left the building by the ambulance sliding door entrance off of the 300 hall because that door was
never locked and the resident's room was located on the 300 hall near the sliding doors. Observation with
the administrator of the path Resident #56 would have most likely traveled revealed upon exiting the
ambulance sliding doors and turning to the right there was a driveway near the assisted living center.
Resident #56 had been found at the end of that driveway sitting on the curb. The distance from the sliding
glass ambulance door to the curb was approximately 422 feet.
Interview on 03/06/24 at 9:13 A.M. with Therapy Director #888 indicated Resident #56 had the

incontinent of stool and urine and was on the floor. Resident #56 was sitting with his back against the wall
and had an open area to the right head with moderate bleeding and a laceration to the right elbow. The
area to the right head was cleansed and dressed. The physician, assistant director of nursing and
power-of-attorney were notified.
Review of hospital documentation dated 02/17/24 revealed Resident #56 presented with an unwitnessed
fall in his bathroom with head trauma. Resident #56 was admitted for observation with physical therapy and
occupational therapy to see if his falls and abnormal neurologic exam could be limiting capabilities to
coordinate and ambulate safely as well as performing activities of daily living (ADLs). The documentation
indicated Resident #56 had a history of recent cerebrovascular accident (stroke) and right sided deficits.
Review of Resident #56's progress note dated 02/20/24 timed 8:30 P.M. indicated the resident returned
from the acute hospital via a stretcher.

bathroom on the floor. He was sitting Indian style on the floor in the bathroom between the wheelchair and
the toilet. STNA #856 leaned down to assist the resident up and he jumped up with her assistance and got
in the wheelchair. He then immediately jumped out of the wheelchair and got on the toilet which caused him
to bump his head against the wall with no injuries. STNA #856 said she reported she found the resident on
the floor to RN #828 who then assessed the resident.

the kitchen, stopped by the food preparation table in the middle of the kitchen and combed her fingers
through her hair, after which she secured part of her hair with a hair tie and then twisted her hair into a bun
and secured it. After securing her hair in the food preparation area, BOM #807 then obtained a hair net and
put it over her hair. BOM #807 verified this at the time of observation.
On 03/06/24 at 9:30 A.M., observation of the kitchen revealed four boxes of food stored on the floor in the
walk-in freezer, which was verified by [NAME] #811 at the time of observation. There were two prepared
food items in the walk-in refrigerator with preparation dates of 03/07/24 and [NAME] #811 verified that the
preparation date was marked incorrectly on those two items.
On 03/07/24 at 1:05 P.M., observation of the logs posted in the kitchen titled Sanitizing Sink and Bucket Log
and Dishwashing/Warewashing Machine Temperature Log for February 2024 revealed several blanks on
the logs. There were no logs posted for March 2024.

02/06/24, 02/09/24, 02/10/24, 02/11/24, 02/12/24, 02/13/24, 02/14/24, 02/15/24, 02/16/24, 02/17/24,
02/19/24, 02/20/24, 02/22/24, 02/23/24, 02/24/24, 02/25/24, 02/26/24, 02/27/24, and 02/28/24. In addition,
the temperature for 02/21/24 was logged after the temperature for 02/29/24 on the log.
On 03/07/24 at 1:50 P.M., interview with the administrator verified the missing documentation on the
sanitizing and dishwashing logs from the kitchen and that the dishwasher temperature log had dates out of
order. He also verified there were no sanitizer or dishwasher temperature logs for March 2024.
