who was visiting another resident in the facility, had been asked by Resident CR 1 to give a ride or show
her where to get the bus. After exiting the facility, according to Employee 3, RN, the visitor thought about
the request and called the facility to notify them of the request. In questioning if Resident CR 1 had exited
the facility, got out the outer glass door, Employee 3, RN, replied no, I don't think so.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview with Employee 2, Supervisor Registered Nurse (RN), on August 16, 2024, at approximately 2:15
PM, confirmed she had worked as supervisor on May 23, 2024. First in questioning, why a family member
who was visiting another resident in the facility, needed to call 5229 (supervisors phone extension as stated

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
observations, a review of clinical records, select facility policy, resident incident/accident report and staff
interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide adequate staff supervision and effective
safety measures to prevent elopement for two residents (Resident CR1 and Resident 2) out of 4 residents
reviewed, The facility further failed to identify staff's reliance on the facility's alarm system to prevent
elopements and the deficiencies of this system to prevent future unsupervised exits from the facility, which
placed residents in immediate jeopardy of future unsupervised exits from the facility and the potential for
serious bodily injury or death.
Findings include:
A review of a policy entitled Wandering and Elopement Risk Identification and Management, dated
September 2021, states it is the policy of the facility to maintain facility wide systems and resident specific
plans of care to minimize resident risk and potential for harm related to wandering and elopement.
Definition: Elopement - the act of a resident leaving the premises or a safe area without authorization (i.e.,
an order for discharge or leave of absence) and/or any necessary supervision to do so. Procedure: general
staff and Resident/Resident Representative Education and Training. Provide staff with general and job
-specific education regarding wandering identification, management (including information related to the
facility's wandering management system), and elopement prevention and response upon hire, annually, and
as needed thereafter.
A review of the clinical record of Resident CR1 revealed admission to the facility on May 14, 2024, with
diagnoses, which included dementia (a group of symptoms that affects memory, thinking and interferes with
daily life), syncope and collapse (fainting or passing out), unsteadiness on feet, weakness, and
abnormalities of gait.
A review of the resident's admission MDS Assessment (Minimum Data Set - a federally mandated
standardized assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated May 20, 2024,
revealed that the resident's cognition was severely impaired with a BIMS score (brief interview for mental
status - section of MDS that assesses cognition) of 3 (a score of 0 -7 indicates severely impaired cognition).
A review of the Resident's plan of care indicated the resident is an elopement risk related to disorientation
to place date-initiated May 15, 2024. An intervention is to identify pattern of wandering, such as is
wandering purposeful, aimless, or escapist. Is resident looking for something. Does it indicate the need for
more exercise, provide structured activities, toileting, walking inside and outside, reorientation strategies
including signs, pictures and memory boxes, wander alert (a device to alarm the facility if the resident tries
to leave) to the right ankle date-initiated May 15, 2024.
A further review of the Resident's plan of care indicated the resident has a behavior of becoming combative
with staff, resistant to medication, and frequently asking where husband is, pulling fire alarm, and exit
seeking date-initiated May 21, 2024. An intervention is to administer medications as ordered and
monitor/document side effects, anticipate and meet the resident's needs, and educate the
resident/family/caregivers on successful coping and interaction strategies date-initiated May 21, 2024.

Interview with Employee 2, Supervisor Registered Nurse (RN), on August 16, 2024, at approximately 2:15
PM, confirmed she had worked as supervisor on May 23, 2024. First in questioning, why a family member
who was visiting another resident in the facility, needed to call 5229 (supervisors phone extension as stated
by Employee 2, RN) and state a lady with red hair and a bracelet is with her at the rehabilitation door
asking her for a ride and when was the next bus if she was standing inside the building? In reply, Employee
2, RN stated she was outside the building at the Rehabilitation Unit doors along with Resident CR 1 trying
to get back into the locked doors - building. Employee 2 further stated that the facility doors lock at 8:00 PM,
and a sign on the outer doors instruct guests to call the facility at this number which is the supervisor's
phone for assistance.
Residents Affected - Few
In further questioning, Employee 2, (RN), stated that upon arrival outside the outer (exterior) door with
Employee 3, RN (the nurse assigned to resident CR 1) present at the same time, found only the visiting
family member of another resident, and that Resident CR 1 was not in sight. At this point the visitor pointed
towards a tree line as too the direction Resident CR 1 headed towards. According to Employee 2, RN,
directly outside the Rehabilitation unit door is a horseshoe (U) shaped driveway for resident/guest drop off /
pick up. Then a roadway into the campus, a grassy area with benches, then beyond that is a tree line which
is where the resident headed. (Approximately 80 - 100 yards as visualized by the state survey team). At this
time, Employee 3, RN (the nurse assigned to resident CR 1), took off towards the tree line after resident CR
1, because she is faster than me, stated Employee 2. According to Employee 2, RN - Supervisor, she
returned into the building for assistance and at this point either overhead paged code green, rehab unit, or

for Resident CR 1, Employee 2, RN, indicated not long, as when she returned to the unit doors, she
(Employee 2, RN) saw Employee 3, RN returning with Resident CR 1.
During the interview with Employee 2, (RN), on August 16, 2024, at approximately 2:15 PM, the state
surveyor asked how she thought Resident CR 1 was able to exit the facility while wearing a wanderguard?
In reply, it is her belief that there are three (3) possibilities. First, a staff member who would have the code,
would allow the resident out. Second, a guest/visitor who may have the code themselves, was in the
process of leaving the facility with the door open and a wandering resident was to walk out the building at
the same time. And third, the system could malfunction.
During a second interview with Employee 2, Supervisor Registered Nurse (RN), on August 16, 2024, at
approximately 2:55 PM, the employee stated she was not sure the exact time but, on the evening, shift a
visiting family member had exited the building and the resident had exited the building with this visitor. She
stated the visitor had then called the nursing supervisor office to let them know they believe a resident is
outside who should not be outside since she had a bracelet on her ankle. The employee stated as she was
going through the Rehab unit she was yelling for help and saw Employee 3 in the hall. She indicated they
ran outside and Resident CR1 was out of sight. The employee stated Employee 3 went running towards the
tree line and as she went back inside for more staff to help. The employee indicated at that time she heard
a code green called for elopement. As the employee went back outside with more staff, Employee 3 was
walking the resident back to the facility.
During an interview with the NHA, and Employee 4 (RN - ADON) on August 16, 2024, at approximately
3:55 PM, confirmed that the facility was unable to provide the physician order for the wanderguard,

checked to ensure functioning. Further there was no documentation that the facility was checking the
wanderguard system or the doors to ensure they were working properly.
Immediate Jeopardy was called on August 16, 2024, due to the facility's failure to timely identify resident
absences from the facility and prevent elopement beginning on May 23, 2024 at 8:20 PM when Resident
CR1 was identified outside of the facility. Lack of functioning operational procedures for monitoring

4. Each resident with a wonder guard unit will have their picture posted at those entrances in a discrete way
as a part of our Happy Feet Club. This will help ensure that families and staff know to be aware when
entering and exiting in these areas.
5. Nursing Supervisor will check each resident to ensure they are safe and that their wonder guard units is
functioning appropriately every (Q) shift.
6. Facility will audit and review this plan weekly X 4 weeks and the results will be discussed in QAPI. QAPI
team will determine the need for further auditing in the future.
