F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few 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, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure residents received adequate supervision and the environment was free from accident hazards for one (Resident #2) of four residents reviewed for supervision. Inside the facility the courtyard could not be viewed due to the blinds being closed and there was no camera monitoring of the courtyard. The facility failed to adequately supervise Resident #2. On 08/17/24 RN B was making rounds around 6:40 AM and Resident #2's roommate reported her missing. RN B stated he and staff searched the facility for Resident #2. He stated the Administrator, police, and ADON were notified. Resident #2 was able to exit the dining room and enter the courtyard. The alarms to the doors had been removed (08/09/24 by the Maintenance Supervisor) prior to the incident. Once Resident #2 was in the courtyard, the resident was locked into the courtyard as demonstrated by the surveyor observation. This courtyard and the locking of the doors can be considered an environmental hazard as Resident #2 was trapped. Resident #2 was found by staff around 8:50 AM on the ground by her wheelchair in the courtyard by the dining room and male secure unit; and she complained of pain to both knees. An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 09/04/24 at 5:30PM. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 5:52PM and signed by the Administrator. While the IJ was removed on 09/05/24 the facility remained out of compliance at a severity level of no actual harm with the potential for more than minimal harm and a scope of isolated due to the facility still monitoring the effectiveness of their Plan of Removal. This failure placed residents at risk for not being adequately supervised and the potential for serious injury and/or death. Findings included: Record review of Resident #2's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 08/21/24 revealed she was a [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included hypertension, renal insufficiency (poor function of the kidneys that may be due to a reduction in blood-flow to the kidneys caused by renal artery disease), urinary tract infection, hyperlipemia (too many lipids (fats) in her blood), Non-Alzheimer's Dementia, anxiety disorder, depression, and schizophrenia. Her BIMS score was 8 out of 15, which revealed she was moderately cognitively impaired. Her behavior section revealed wandering presence and frequency occurred one to three days. Her functional status revealed she used a walker and wheelchair. She required setup or clean-up assistance with eating, sit to stand, transferring, walk 10 feet, walk 50 feet with two turns, and walk 150 feet. She required supervision or touching assistance with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene. Review of Resident #2's Care Plan, dated 08/12/24 and revised 08/17/24, reflected Resident #2 was at-risk for elopement as evidenced by cognitive impairment. Her goal was to remain safe within the facility unless accompanied by staff or other authorized person. Her interventions were assess/record/report to MD risk factors for potential elopement such as wandering, repeated requests to leave facility, statements such as I'm leaving and I'm going home. Attempts to leave the facility, elopement attempts from previous facility, home, or hospital. Supervise closely and make regular compliance rounds whenever resident was in room. Determine the reason the resident was attempting to elope. If resident was exit seeking, stay with the resident and notify the charge nurse by calling out, sending 455733 Page 3 of 7 455733 09/06/2024 Heritage at Turner Park Health & Rehab 820 Small St Grand Prairie, TX 75050

However, she reported that she had bruising and was in pain after the incident. Review of the facility's policy title, Elopement Prevention, dated January 2023, reflected, every effort will be made to prevent elopement episodes while maintaining the least restrictive environment for residents who are at risk for elopement.
