F 0684 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of the Ambulance Run report revealed emergency medical services (EMS) was called on 06/15/25 at 8:59 P.M. Resident #8 left the facility at 9:27 P.M. Comments: The nurse on scene states that the patient was stable and did not need transport, her vital signs were stable, and fever was reduced with Tylenol. Interview on 06/30/35 at 4:25 PM. with the daughter of Resident #8 revealed she had asked several times to have the on-call NP or physician call her. The agency nurse responded aggressively, saying she wasn't the only person that wanted to speak to a NP or doctor, and I'd have to wait my turn. Later in the evening, the resident's daughter told the nurse she felt Resident #8 should be sent to the hospital. Agency Nurse #211 tried to deter the family numerous times, telling them that it wasn't medically necessary for her mother to go to the ER. An interview on 07/01/25 at 12:34 P.M. with Registered Nurse (RN)/ADON #209 revealed as soon as the ADON walked to the hall she heard Resident #8's family talking. The ADON went and asked the nurse what was going on, then went to talk to the family. The family said they wanted the resident sent out; she had experienced a change in mental status and wasn't acting like herself. The ADON told Agency Nurse #211 to call 911 and get Resident #8 sent out right away. ADON #209 revealed the family stated they had previously asked the nurse to send Resident #8 to the hospital. The facility has a NP and physician on call, it was not a problem to get ahold of them on the weekends. Interview on 07/01/25 at 12:01 P.M. the Director of Nursing (DON) and Regional Nurse Manager #201 verified the daughter of Resident #8 had requested to speak with an NP or physician, and there was no documented evidence that the NP or doctor were contacted.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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 adequate supervision was provided to prevent Resident #7 from leaving the facility property unsupervised. This affected one (Resident #7) of four residents reviewed for leave of absence (LOA). The facility census was 70. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #7 revealed an admission date of 06/09/25. Diagnoses included paranoid personality disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Review of the Medicare 5-Day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 06/16/25, revealed Resident #7 had moderately impaired cognition. The assessment did not identify the resident to have behaviors, including the behavior of wandering. The resident was independent with ambulation. Review of the physician's orders for June 2025 identified orders for Wanderguard (a bracelet that helps prevents residents with cognitive impairment from leaving the facility unsupervised and potentially getting lost or injured); Provide a reminder to resident to call for staff assistance prior to going outside by self dated 06/19/25; May go on supervised LOA dated 06/19/25; and Resident may go on LOA to smoke dated 06/19/25. Review of the nurse's notes from 06/19/25 revealed Resident #7 had a period of confusion and exit seeking. Upon assessment, it was found the resident just wanted to check on a family member. The Nurse Practitioner (NP) was called, and an order was given to apply a Wanderguard to ensure the resident's safety, and supervised LOA. The guardian was notified and was in agreement with the plan. Review of the nurse's note on 06/20/25 at 3:40 P.M. Resident #7 went on LOA to smoke, facility later received call that the resident was observed walking in the street against the flow of traffic by local police. As police attempted to escort Resident #7, the resident became combative, and the officers took the resident to the emergency room (ER). Review of the incident investigation dated 06/20/25 revealed Nurse Manager #206 reported on an assessment dated [DATE] that Resident #7 was exit seeking, but it was discovered that the resident just wanted to go on LOA to check on her family members. At that time, Resident #7 expressed the need to smoke to help decrease her anxiety. Nurse Manager #206 reported she spoke with the resident's guardian and the NP. The guardian stated the resident could go home on LOA for smoking and may go on LOA with family as long as a family member was present. Nurse Manager #206 obtained LOA order from the NP. Nurse Manager #206 reported that there were no further behaviors noted. On 06/20/25, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #210 reported at approximately 1:00 P.M. she saw Resident #7 standing by the back parking lot area. At that time the resident did not appear to be smoking. LPN #210 asked another nurse around 1:45 P.M. if Resident #7 had come in to get more cigarettes. LPN #210 was told the resident had not come back. A search of the facility and the outside parameter was immediately conducted. The Director of Nursing (DON) was alerted that the resident had not been seen since the last time she was observed outside by the smoke area. On 06/20/25 at around 2:12 P.M. the DON received a call from the local police department that Resident #7 was found and was being taken to the hospital for combative behavior.

Later the resident decided she wanted to smoke. The facility was non-smoking, so the resident had to go on LOA. Residents had to be off the property when they smoked.
