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
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide the supervision required to keep all
residents free from potential accidents and hazards when:
1. One of seven residents (Resident 1) eloped unsupervised (left without notice) from the facility without
staff being aware he was gone.
2. Wanderguard alarms (prevent wander-prone residents from leaving unattended) were not working at two
of four facility exit doors.
These failures had the potential to compromise the safety and well-being of all residents from unsupervised
wandering/elopement with the potential for accident or harm.
Findings:
Review of facility policy titled, Safety and Supervision of Residents, revised 10/2022, indicated the facility
would strive to make the environment as free from accident hazards as possible based on individual
resident need. The policy indicated the facility would monitor the effectiveness of interventions by (a)
ensuring that interventions are implemented correctly and consistently, (b) evaluate the effectiveness of
interventions, and (c) modify interventions as needed.
Review of facility policy titled, Wandering and Elopements, revised 3/2019, indicated that the facility will
identify residents who are at risk of unsafe wandering and strive to prevent harm while maintaining the least
restrictive environment for residents.
1.Review of Resident 1's admission record indicated he was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses which included heart disease and muscle weakness.
Review of Minimum Data Set (MDS) record, dated 2/25/2023, indicated Resident 1 had a Brief Interview for
Mental Status (tool used to identify the mental capacity of residents) score of 12 out of 15. The record
indicated Resident 1 required limited staff guidance (guided maneuvering of limbs or other
non-weightbearing assistance) for moving about on and off the unit. The record indicated Resident 1 was
not steady, but able to stabilize without staff assistance when walking and turning around. The record
indicated Resident 1 used a walker and/or wheelchair for mobility following a stroke, and a
wander/elopement alarm was not used. The record indicated care areas triggered for care planning
included cognitive (mental capacity) loss/dementia, activities of daily living functional/rehabilitation
potential, and falls.
Review of an Interdisciplinary Team (IDT - a group of professionals from different disciplines who meets to
discuss resident care) Note for Resident 1, dated 3/16/2023 at 9:05 am, indicated that staff was alerted by
a civilian that Resident 1 was seen outside of the facility. The note indicated staff searched surrounding
areas to locate Resident 1, who was known to have exit-seeking behaviors with a risk for fall. The note
indicated Resident 1 had moderately impaired cognition (the ability to acquire and process information).
Resident 1's description of the event was that he went out for a walk.

During an interview with DON on 10/13/2023 at 1:25, DON stated he had just called ADM 2 (administrator
in 3/2023) who reported he can ' t remember if they called SA or not. DON stated ADM 2 reported to him
that if there was proof of a report to SA, it would have been on the computer. ADM 1 and DON were unable
to produce an unusual occurrence report.
During an interview on 10/19/2023 at 12:15 pm with Director of Social Services (DSS), DSS stated
Resident 1 was his own Responsible Party and wanted to go out at the time of elopement on 3/16/2023.
DSS stated Resident 1 didn't sign out and got to the park before it was noticed he was not in the facility.
DSS stated, Someone brought him back, she thought possibly the DON. DSS stated Resident 1 was not
wearing a Wanderguard bracelet at the time of elopement, but Wanderguard bracelet was placed on
Resident 1 after the elopement to prevent further incidents.
2. Review of documents titled RF Technologies Down Payment Requisition, dated 09/28/2023, indicated a
request for purchase of Code Alert 9450 Wander Management (WM) System components.
During an observational tour of the facility 16 days later on 10/13/2023 at 8:45 am with Director of Nursing
(DON), two of four alarms did not sound at Wanderguard-monitored exit doors located (a) between rooms
[ROOM NUMBERS] and (b) between the storage shed and outside storage.
During an interview on 10/13/2023 at 9:00 am with DON, DON stated a log of Wanderguard alarm system
checks did not exist but that he had checked the alarm system a couple days ago and it was working at that
time. DON stated he checked the alarm system about once or twice a week for my peace of mind.
During a concurrent observation and interview with DON on 10/13/2023 at 12:35 pm, the Wanderguard at
exit door between rooms [ROOM NUMBERS] was again tested. A very loud alarm sounded. DON verified
that the Wanderguard was still not working but that a universal door alarm had been turned on. DON stated
a new Wanderguard unit had been ordered.
Record review was performed for a sample of seven residents (Residents 1-7), each of whom was
identified as being at risk for elopement:.Residents 2-7 had orders for Wanderguard, signed consents, and
elopement care plans in place and updated. Each resident had orders for battery function of Wanderguard
documented checked nightly and placement checked each shift.
Review of Minimum Data Set (MDS) record, dated 9/20/2023, indicated Resident 2 exhibited wandering
behaviors 1 to 3 times on admission. The record indicated Resident 2 required limited staff guidance
(guided maneuvering of limbs or other non-weightbearing assistance) for moving about in his room and on
and off the unit. The record indicated Resident 2 was not steady, but able to stabilize without staff
assistance when walking and turning around. The record indicated Resident 1 used a wheelchair for
mobility due to impairment in his lower extremity (legs) function related to diagnoses of Parkinson's disease
and history of stroke. The record indicated Resident 2 had had a fall since admission and was on an alarm
to prevent wander/elopement daily.
Review of an IDT Note for Resident 2, dated 10/12/2023 at 1:41 pm, indicated, Resident 2 walked out

back door of facility pushing his wheelchair in front of him. The note indicated Resident 2 became
combative and resisted assistance when staff attempted to redirect him back into the building. The plan was
to monitor for further elopement attempts. Root cause analysis indicated Resident 2 has a history of
exit-seeking behavior looking for his wife with a baseline cognition level of severe impairment. The note
indicated Resident 2 was at risk for wandering, elopement, fall or accident. Interventions prior to Resident
2's elopement on 10/12/2023 were an elopement prevention care plan and Wanderguard. The note
indicated the facility planned to increase safety checks, provide calm reassurance that his wife knows
where he is, and encourage family to visit more often.
During an interview on 10/19/2023 at 9:35 am, CNA 4 confirmed Resident 5 is a wanderer and seeks to
exit the facility enough for staff to monitor him.
During an interview on 10/19/2023 at 11:00 am with Maintenance Supervisor (MS), MS stated he did not
keep a log of weekly checks of the Wanderguard, so there was no proof, and to his knowledge DON was
not doing checks of the Wanderguard system.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents' linens were being
clean and sanitized using infection control standards. This failure resulted in residents' linens not being
cleaned and sanitized properly and had the potential to spread disease and infection throughout the facility.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
A review of a facility policy titled, Infection Prevention and Control, revised 10/2021, indicated, An infection
prevention and control program (ICPC) is established and maintained to provide a safe, sanitary and
comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases
and infections.
During observation on 10/13/2023 at 8:50 am, overheard Director of Nursing (DON) inform Resident 8 an
issue with no hot water in the facility was fixed Wednesday (10/11/2023). Resident 8 stated the hot water
had been out for like a week. DON again replied that maintenance staff had resolved the issue two days
prior.
During a review of Plumbing Doctor Invoice #24467745, dated 10/17/2023, the invoice indicated it was an
estimate to replace a gas control valve, thermostat, temperature and pressure valve, and drain valve on a
100-gallon water heater.
During a review of Plumbing Doctor Estimate #24523298, dated 10/17/2023, the estimate indicated This
estimate is to remove old leaking 100-gallon water heater and install a new 100-gallon water heater up to
state and city code. This will include an expansion tank and seismic straps.
During an interview on 10/19/2023 at 9:05 am, Maintenance Supervisor (MS) stated one of two facility
water heaters was out. MS stated a plumber had been called to replace parts, but a decision had been
made to replace the broken water heater. MS stated he knows hot water temperatures should be between
106- and 120-degrees Fahrenheit, but we don't have that now.
During an interview on 10/19/2023 at 10:30 with Housekeeper (HK), HK stated the laundry has been dirtier.
HK stated they were having to rewash the laudry often.
During an interview on 10/19/2023 at 11:10 am with Administrator (ADM 1), ADM 1 stated he was unaware
of the laundry issues. ADM 1 stated he did not know where to find the Ecolab (manufacturer) operating
manual for washing machines but would look for it.
During a concurrent observation in the laundry room and interview with MS on 10/19/2023 at 11:43 am, MS
stated Ecolab maintains facility washing machines. When asked how often machines were maintained, MS
stated Ecolab had been in the facility 2 to 3 days ago to check the dishwashers but could not state when
washing machines were last maintained. MS stated he was aware residents were complaining about the
laundry and things aren't getting clean. MS stated he did not know where to find the manufacturer operating
manual for facility washing machines. MS confirmed the two of two washing machines were overfilled with
blankets and articles of clothing; this did not allow water to agitate or cleaning chemicals to circulate
properly through laundry items.
During an interview on 10/19/2023 at 12:40 pm, ADM 1 stated he could not locate the manufacturer

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain essential equipment necessary to
ensure resident safety and activities of daily living needs were met when:
Residents Affected - Some
1 The Wanderguard Alarm System (prevents wander-prone residents from leaving the facility unattended)
did not work for three weeks or more. This failure led to the potential for unsupervised resident elopement
(leaving without notice), leading to the potential for harm and preventable accidents/hazards for all
residents.
2. One of two facility water heaters did not work for two weeks or more. This failure led to residents not
getting baths or showers due to no hot water in the facility with the potential to result in poor self-esteem,
depression, denial of resident rights, contribution to skin breakdown, infection, and negative clinical
outcomes for all residents.
Findings:
1. Review of a facility policy titled, Wandering and Elopements, revised 3/2019, indicated that the facility will
