or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records and the Resident Assessment Instrument and staff interviews, it was determined
that the facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set Assessments (MDS - a federally mandated
standardized assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) accurately reflected the
status of one resident out of 19 sampled (Residents 46).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A review of Resident 46's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], Section O0100 Special Treatments,
Procedures, and Programs indicated the resident was not receiving Hospice care.
Review of Resident 19's clinical record revealed a physician's order initially dated April 19, 2023, and
revised September 19, 2023, for the resident to receive hospice services.
Further review of the resident's clinical record revealed the resident was receiving hospice services during
the seven day look back period of the August 2, 2023, MDS assessment.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on November 3, 2023, at approximately 1:30 PM confirmed
the resident's quarterly MDS assessment was inaccurate.

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
review of information submitted by the facility, select facility policy, select reports and clinical records and
staff interviews it was determined that the facility failed to provide necessary supervision and effective
safety measures to prevent an elopement by one resident (Resident 42) out of 19 sampled residents.
Findings include:
Review of facility policy entitled Elopement/ Unauthorized Absence Policy, last revised by the facility March
18, 2022, revealed that all residents will be assessed for the risk of elopement using the facility's Elopement
Assessment on admission, quarterly, and as needed. Residents identified at risk will have interventions
promptly implemented to reduce the risk of elopement.
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 42 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses, which included alcohol dependence with alcohol-induced dementia, anxiety, and depression.
Review of Resident 42's Elopement Risk assessment dated [DATE], indicated that the resident was
physically capable of leaving the facility, was alert and oriented to person, place, and time, the resident
does not wander within the facility of have a history of wandering, does not verbalize or exhibit exit seeking
behavior, or has there been a previous attempt or actual elopement or unsafe wandering. Resident 42 was
determined not to be at risk for elopement at that time.
There was no evidence that the facility re-evaluated Resident 42's risk for elopement after October 24,
2022.
A review of nursing documentation dated June 18, 2023, at 7:22 AM revealed that the resident was
exhibiting behaviors, arguing with staff and was difficult to redirect. According to the documentation, the
resident was continually asking why we are keeping her here and was being verbally confrontational with
other residents.
Review of the facility Elopement event investigation dated June 24, 2023, revealed that at approximately
1:50 PM, staff observed Resident 42 walking outside the gated garden area. The gate was left unlocked for
lawn care and had not been relocked. According to the report, Resident 42 was walking back into the gated
garden area when additional staff went outside to escort her back inside the facility. The resident was
unable to state where she was trying to go at that time.
The resident reentered the facility cooperatively and without injury, and staff immediately locked the gate.
Review of an employee witness statement dated June 24, 2023, written by Employee 2, licensed practical
nurse, revealed that she had let Resident 42 outside to the gazebo with the resident's books and computer.
(No time was included in Employee 2's statement). Employee 4, LPN was alerted Employee 2, LPN, that
Resident 42 had wandered outside into the enclosed garden area. Employee 2 then went outside and
observed the resident walking back into the garden area through the unlocked gate and brought the
resident back inside the facility.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Review of a witness statement dated June 24, 2023, written by Employee 3, nurse aide, revealed that she
was approached by another staff member and told that Resident 42 was outside, on the side of the
building. According to Employee 3, her and another staff member went outside to get the resident when
they witnessed the resident walking back into the garden/gazebo area. Resident 42 closed the gate behind
her, and housekeeping came out to lock the gate.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to provide necessary supervision to prevent an elopement. The facility failed to complete
quarterly and as needed Elopement Risk Assessment per their Elopement/Unauthorized Absence policy
for Resident 42.
Interview with the Director of Nursing and Nursing Home Administrator on November 3, 2023, at
approximately 2:00 PM, confirmed that the facility failed to provide necessary supervision and implement
effective safety measures for this resident.
This deficiency is cited as past non-compliance.
The facility's corrective action plan included the following:
o
Resident 42 had an assessment completed by registered nurse with no negative findings. Resident 42 had
a wanderguard placed for safety until reviewed by IDT (interdisciplinary team). Elopement assessment and
resident careplan updated. The small gate at the gazebo area was locked.
o
To identify like residents the facility completed a head count of all residents in the building to make sure all
other residents were accounted for, new elopement assessments were completed on current residents, and
the facility posted signage that residents must be accompanied by a staff member when out in the
courtyard.
o
To prevent this from reoccurring, the DON/designee educated staff on the elopement policy, educated staff
that when residents are outside of facility during nice weather, a staff member is to stay with them, and staff
education provided on locking the gates when done using them.
o
To monitor and maintain ongoing compliance the facility will complete elopement drills on each shift now
and monthly or until a period of compliance has been reached and reviewed at QAPI. The maintenance
director will check outside gates to ensure they are secured weekly x 4 and monthly x2 or until a period of
compliance has been reached as determined by QAPI.
The facility's completion date for this plan of correction was June 26, 2023.

catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of clinical records, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to thoroughly assess
and evaluate bladder function and implement individualized interventions to restore bladder function to the
extent possible for one out of 18 sampled residents (Residents 65).
Findings include:
Review of Resident 65's clinical record revealed admission to the facility on June 1, 2022, and readmission
on [DATE], with diagnoses that included diabetes, and hypertension.
Quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessments (MDS - a federally mandated standardized assessment
completed at specific intervals to define resident care needs) dated January 3, 2023, February 6, 2023,
May 8, 2023, July 10, 2023, and an annual MDS dated [DATE], all indicated that the resident was
cognitively intact, dependent on staff for activities of daily living (ADLs - the basic tasks of everyday life,
such as eating, bathing, dressing, toileting, and transferring and repositioning) and was frequently
incontinent of bladder.
Review of an Evaluation for Continence and Retraining/Scheduled Toileting dated February 1, 2023,
indicated that the resident was incontinent and to be placed on a 72 Hour bowel and bladder tracking. The
Bowel and bladder tracking continued past the 72 hours and indicated patterns of incontinence. There was
no evidence that the facility had developed and implemented individualized toileting plans based on the the
results of the 72 hour bowel & bladder tracking and the resident's elimination patterns.
Review of Resident 65's plan of care for bladder incontinence indicated on February 1, 2023, planned
measures were to assess the resident's pattern of urination and episodes of incontinence and to Implement
a toileting program as indicated, and provide incontinence care as needed.
