Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to
develop and implement individualized plans to manage residents' dementia-related behavioral symptoms to
promote resident safety and the residents' highest practicable physical and mental well-being for one
resident out of five sampled (Resident 26).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed hospital documentation, prior to the resident's admission to this current long
term care facility, dated April 18, 2024, noting that Resident 26 was discharged from another long-term care
facility and not permitted to return. The documentation indicated that Resident 26 needs a locked dementia
unit, requires one to one level of supervision (1:1), is an elopement risk, and was redirectable until recently.
Resident 26 was admitted to this current long term facility on April 22, 2024, with diagnoses that included
dementia (a condition characterized by the loss of cognitive functioning such as thinking, remembering, and
reasoning, to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities).
A review of an admission comprehensive Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a federally mandated
standardized assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated April 29, 2024
revealed that Resident 26 is severely cognitively impaired with a BIMS score of 03 (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 01-07 indicates severe cognitive
impairment).
The resident's care plan noted that the resident was an elopement risk due to cognitive impairment related
to dementia initiated on April 22, 2024. Interventions planned were offering pleasant diversion (preferences
not identified), structured activities (preferred type of activities not identified), food (preferences not
identified), conversation (topic not identified), television (preferred programming not identifed), and books
(subject matter not identified); identifying a pattern of wandering, intervening as appropriate; and orienting
the resident to his surroundings.
Resident 26's care plan also noted that the resident had problematic behavior characterized by verbal and
physical abuse and rejection of care dated April 29, 2024. Interventions planned include allowing time to
respond to directions, providing psychiatric consultation as needed, removing to a quiet area, providing
reassurance, staying with the resident when he is angry, and approaching the resident with a different staff
member.
The plan of care also noted that Resident 26 has a chronic decline in intellectual functioning characterized
by deficits in memory, judgment, decision-making, and thought processes related to dementia initiated on
April 19, 2024. Interventions planned indicated that staff were to provide cueing and prompting with simple
directions and establishing a routing.
Progress note documentation from May 1, 2024, through June 18, 2024, revealed that Resident 26
wandered in other residents' rooms and has displayed verbal and physical aggression with staff.

stated that until a week ago there was a stop sign that was hung across her bedroom doorway that helped

During an interview on June 18, 2024, at 11:05 AM, Resident 2 stated that Resident 26 wanders into her
bedroom uninvited and sometimes follows her into her bedroom. She stated that last week Resident 26
followed her into her bedroom. She explained that she had seen him get physically aggressive in the past,
so she didn't say anything to him in fear of Resident 26 becoming physical with her. Resident 2 stated that
she didn't want him in her room but didn't want Resident 26 to attack her, so she remained quiet, and
eventually he wandered out of her bedroom.
During an interview on June 18, 2024, at approximately 12:00 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) was
unable to locate the stop sign that was supposed to hang across Resident 22's bedroom doorway to
prevent Resident 26 from entering. The DON confirmed that the stop sign was not being used because it
required repairs. The DON was unable to provide evidence that alternative interventions were implemented
in place of the stop sign to prevent Resident 26's intrusive wandering into Resident 22's room.
During an interview on June 18, 2024, at approximately 1:30 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) and
Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) confirmed that the facility failed to develop and implement an
individualized plan to manage Resident 26's dementia-related behavioral symptoms to promote resident
safety and the residents' highest practicable physical and mental well-being. The NHA and DON confirmed
that Resident 26 continues to wander into other residents' rooms and becomes verbally and physically
aggressive upon redirection. The NHA and DON confirmed that prior to the resident's admission to the
facility, the hospital indicated that Resident 26 required one to one supervision for safety. The DON and
NHA were unable to provide evidence that Resident 26 was assessed to determine the level of supervision
Resident 26 required to promote his safety and the safety of other residents while managing the resident's
dementia related behavioral symptoms.
