Findings include: Review of facility policy Elopements and Wandering Residents dated 1/28/25, indicated the facility ensures that residents which exhibit wandering behaviors and/or are at risk for elopement receive adequate supervision to prevent accidents, and receive care in accordance with their person-centered plan of care addressing the unique factors contributing to wandering or elopement risk. Alarms are not a replacement for necessary supervision. Staff are to be vigilant in responding to alarms in a timely manner. The facility shall establish and utilize a systemic approach to monitoring and managing residents at risk for elopement or unsafe wandering, including identification and assessment of risk, evaluation and analysis of hazards and risks, implementing interventions to reduce hazards and risks, and monitoring for effectiveness and modifying interventions when necessary. Review of the Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 User's Manual effective October 2023, indicated that a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) is a screening test that aides in detecting cognitive impairment. The BIMS total score suggests the following distributions: 13-15: cognitively intact 8-12: moderately impaired 0-7: severe impairment Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R44 was admitted to facility 3/6/19, readmitted [DATE].
