**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of facility policy, facility provided documentation, resident clinical record review, and staff interview, it
was determined the facility failed to review and revise a resident care plan to reflect current status and
needs for one of six residents (Resident R1).
Findings include:
Review of facility policy titled Care Management last revised 12/12/22, informed all aspects of the resident's
medical record shall be used as part of their overall care plans. In each case, the plan of care is reviewed

disabilities (diminished abilities in intellectual and adaptive functioning), anxiety, autistic disorder
(challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and non-verbal communication), and chronic
kidney disease (the kidneys inability to filter waste and excess fluid from the blood).
Review of Resident R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a periodic federally mandated assessment that guides
a resident's care) dated 2/26/23, indicated the diagnoses remained current.
Review of the facility's Wandering Risk Assessment scoring indicated the following:
0-8 Low risk
9-10 At risk to wander
11-above High risk to wander
Review of Resident R1's Wandering Risk Assessment at admission, dated 2/22/23, recorded a score of 9,
indicating the resident was at risk to wander.
Review of Resident R1's current physician orders dated revealed an order on 3/10/23, for a Wanderguard

provider's non-compliance with one or more requirements of participation has cause, or is likely to cause
serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident) was called as the facility failed to ensure resident
safety for one of 55 residents and failed to prevent the elopement of Resident R1. The Immediate Jeopardy
template was provided at that time and a corrective action plan was requested.
