This survey cited 2 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on observations, review of clinical records, select facility policy, facility investigative reports, and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to ensure adequate staff supervision and effective safety measures for a newly admitted resident who expressed exit seeking behaviors and was identified as a wandering risk. The failure resulted in the elopement for one resident (Resident 1) out of 10 residents reviewed. Following this elopement the facility further failed to promptly identify the resident's absence and identify supervisory, and safety needs to prevent unsupervised exits from the facility, which placed residents in immediate jeopardy of unsupervised exits from the facility and the potential for serious bodily injury or death. Findings included: A review of facility policy entitled Wandering and Elopements last revised September 2022 revealed the facility will identify residents who are at risk for unsafe wandering and strive to prevent harm while maintaining the least restrictive environment for residents. A review of the clinical record of Resident 1 revealed admission to the facility on November 20, 2024, with diagnoses, which included vascular dementia with mood disturbances (problems with reasoning, planning, judgment, memory, and other thought processes caused by brain damage from impaired blood flow to your brain). A review of an annual Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS-a federally mandated standardized assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated November 26, 2024, revealed that Resident 1 is severely cognitively impaired with a BIMS score of 5 (Brief Interview for Mental Status-a tool within the Cognitive Section of the MDS that is used to assess the resident's attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall new information; a score of 0 -7 indicates severely impaired cognition) A review of the resident's preadmission hospital paperwork dated November 19, 2024, revealed the resident required 1:1 supervision (direct observation by one staff to one resident), was aggressive, and had disruptive behaviors. A review of a Wandering Risk Assessment, completed by the facility, dated November 20, 2024, revealed the resident was at high risk for wandering behaviors. A review of Resident 1's plan of care initially dated November 20, 2024, revealed the resident has the potential to wander and is at risk for elopement. Further review revealed planned interventions which included; staff to be aware of the resident's tendency to wander, attempt to redirect (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.
