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
