F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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.

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.

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.

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).
