F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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.

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.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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.

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 identify residents who are at risk for unsafe wandering and strive to prevent harm while maintaining the least restrictive environment for residents.
