Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents received treatment and care in
accordance with professional standards of practice to meet the physical, mental, and psychosocial (relating
to the interrelation of social factors and individual thoughts and behavior) needs for one of four sampled
residents (Resident 1) by failing to measure Resident 1 ' s blood sugar when Resident 1 returned to the
facility on 4/25/2025.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to delay Resident 1 ' s care and negatively affect Resident 1 ' s well-being.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1 ' s History and Physical (H&P) from GACH 2, dated 3/9/2025, the H&P
indicated Resident 1 was admitted to GACH 2 due to hypertensive urgency (a situation where blood
pressure is significantly elevated, but there is no immediate evidence of organ damage), and had
diagnoses of hypertension (high blood pressure), hyperlipidemia (a condition in which there are high levels
of fat particles in the blood), diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar
control and poor wound healing), and dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities).
During a review of Resident 1 ' s admission Assessment, dated 4/24/2025, the admission Assessment
indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] at 5 p.m. The admission Assessment indicated
Resident 1 was alert and oriented to time, place, with slow comprehension and required assistance with
showers, bed baths, oral hygiene, grooming, and dressing.
During a review of Resident 1 ' s Change of Condition (COC - when there is a sudden significant change in
a resident ' s health status) Assessment Form, dated 4/24/2025, the COC indicated on 4/24/2025 at 6:50
p.m., Resident 1 walked out of the facility after RNA 1 opened the facility ' s locked gate. The COC indicated
LVN 2 noticed an unfamiliar person leaving the facility after RNA 1 used the code to open the locked gate.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/25/2025 at 1:17 p.m. with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 1 ' s Discharge Reconciliation Report, from the Center for Behavioral Health (CBH), dated
4/24/2025 was reviewed. The DON stated the facility had not located Resident 1 (as of this time of the
interview) and as a result Resident 1 was at risk to experiencing negative effects from missing her
medications, including hypoglycemia (a condition in which the body ' s blood sugar level drop below the
normal range) or hyperglycemia (a condition in which the there is too much sugar in the blood). A
concurrent review of the Discharge Reconciliation Report with the DON indicated

accompanied back to the facility on 4/25/2025 at approximately 24 hours, at 6 p.m. on 4/25/2025 with the
assistance of 2 local police officers. RN 1 stated Resident 1 ' s readmission assessment was completed by
RN 2 after Resident 1 ate 100 percent (% - per one hundred) of her meal provided by the facility. RN 1
stated licensed staff should have measured Resident 1 ' s blood sugar level before her meal because
Resident 1 was at risk of experiencing hypoglycemia (a condition in which blood sugar levels fall below
normal level and can cause confusion and loss of consciousness) or hyperglycemia (a condition where the
level of blood sugar in the blood is elevated above the normal range and can cause confusion, blurred
vision, loss of consciousness) after being absent from the facility for approximately 24 hours.
During an interview on 4/27/2025 at 5:15 p.m. with the DON, the DON stated facility should have measured
Resident 1 ' s blood sugar when Resident 1 returned to the facility on 4/25/2025 since Resident 1 was at
risk of experiencing hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia and might have required treatment.
During a review of current facility-provided policy and procedure titled, Nursing Care of Older Adults with
Diabetes Mellitus, last reviewed on 7/2024, the policy and procedure indicated, Blood Glucose Monitoring .

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 supervision (refers to the ongoing
monitoring and guidance provided by staff to ensure the safety and well-being of a resident) to one of three
sampled residents (Resident 1), who was cognitively impaired (refers to difficulties with thinking, learning,
remembering, and using judgment, among other mental abilities) and was admitted to a secured facility
(specialized healthcare setting that restricts patient movement and access to promote safety with measures
such as locked doors and surveillance). On 4/24/2025 at 6:48 p.m., Restorative Nurse Aide (RNA –
focuses on helping residents regain or maintain their physical abilities and independence through
restorative program and activities) 1 without verifying Resident 1 ' s identity, opened the facility ' s locked
gate due to RNA 1 thought Resident 1 was a visitor, and allowed Resident 1 to exit the facility ' s building.
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1 ' s elopement (the act of leaving a facility unsupervised and
without prior authorization) on 4/24/2025 at 6:48 p.m., placing Resident 1 at risk for vehicular accidents
since the facility is located in a busy street with many cars passing by, negative outcome from not receiving
Resident 1 ' s medication, and exposure to extreme temperatures (heat during the day and cold during the
night) that could lead to serious injury, serious harm, or death.
On 4/26/2025 at 5:49 p.m., while onsite at the facility, the State Survey Agency (SSA) called an Immediate
Jeopardy (IJ – a situation in which the facility ' s non-compliance with one or more requirements of
participations has caused, or is likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death of a resident) in
the presence of the Administrator and the Director of Nursing (DON) due to the facility ' s failure to provide
supervision to Resident 1 and to prevent the elopement of Resident 1 on 4/24/2025 at 6:48 p.m.
On 4/27/2025 at 2:34 p.m., the DON provided an acceptable IJ removal plan (a detailed plan to address the
IJ findings) for the facility ' s failure to provide supervision to Resident 1 and to prevent the elopement of
Resident 1 on 4/24/2025 at 6:48 p.m.
On 4/27/2025 at 6:19 p.m., while onsite at the facility, the SSA verified and confirmed the facility ' s full
implementation of the IJ Removal Plan through observations, interviews, and record reviews, and
determined the IJ situation regarding elopement due to lack of supervision was no longer present. The SSA
removed the IJ on 4/27/2025 at 6:48 p.m., in the presence of the Administrator and the DON.
The acceptable IJ Removal Plan included the following summarized actions:
1. On 4/25/2025, the Administrator gave a disciplinary action (a reprimand or corrective action in response
to employee misconduct, rule violation, or poor performance) and suspended RNA 1 pending investigation.
2. On 4/25/2025 at 5 p.m., Registered Nurse (RN) 1, Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, and 2 local police
officers located Resident 1 in Resident 1 ' s apartment, approximately 7.8 miles (unit of measurement)
away from the facility.
3. On 4/25/2025 at 5:56 p.m., RN 1, LVN 1, and 2 local police officers accompanied Resident 1 back

nurse specializing in improving resident care quality, ensuring compliance with regulations, and enhancing
healthcare practices), and the Director of Staff Development (DSD), conducted a series of in-services (a
planned, workplace-based training program designed to enhance staff competency, improve job
performance, and keep staff up to date with current best practices and new techniques) to staff regarding
Safety and Supervision of Residents, Elopement, Missing Person, and Resident Identification policies,
emphasizing the following:
a. The purpose and importance of identifying and confirming with the Licensed Nurses (LNs), RNs, the
Administrator, or Receptionist, that the person leaving the facility is a visitor and not a resident of the facility
before allowing anyone to leave the (facility ' s secured) premises.
b. The purpose and importance of supervising residents while in the facility and always being mindful of
their (residents) whereabouts to ensure residents ' safety.
c. The purpose and importance of identifying residents by checking if they are wearing an Identification (ID)
wristband [a bracelet-like band, often worn on the wrist, contain at the minimum two identifiers (name and
birthday) used for identification purposes] or having another form of identification such as a photograph.
d. The purpose and importance of immediate action and interventions such as initiating a code to initiate
search immediately once a resident was found missing.
e. The purpose and importance of seeking assistance from the Local Police Department in searching for a
missing resident.
6. On 4/26/2025, LN, Medical Records Director, and Designee checked all residents to see if in-house
residents were wearing ID wristbands. There were four residents (Residents 3, 6, 12, and 13) who were
found not wearing ID wristbands due to refusal. An Interdisciplinary meeting (IDT meeting, involves
professionals from different fields or specialties collaborating to address a shared problem or achieve a
common goal) was conducted to discuss Residents 3, 6, 12, and 13 ' s noncompliance. The residents '
refusal to wear ID wristbands was addressed in the residents ' care plans.
7. On 4/26/2025, the Social Service Director (SSD) or designee and LNs evaluated all residents to see if
the residents feel safe while in the facility using the safety/wellness evaluation tool. No other resident was
found to be affected by the deficient finding.
8. On 4/26/2025, the IDT members comprising of the Administrator, the DON, and the DSD reviewed a new
policy pertaining to secured unit/facility integrating the guidelines on admission process, environment
special consideration, and visitation.
a. The RN or Licensed Designee will immediately apply an ID wristband to a resident upon admission to
help identify a resident while in the facility. A resident ' s photograph will also be taken, and

exposure to cold) at night and hyperthermia (a condition characterized by abnormally high body
temperatures) during the day when the temperature would go up. The DON stated Resident 1 could
potentially experience any type of injury while outside of the facility including death. The DON stated the
facility did not have a policy and procedure addressing supervision and access of the locked gate. The DON
stated the facility was a secured facility and all the exit doors were kept locked and required a special key or
code to open to prevent residents from wandering outside the building without supervision. The DON stated
residents could exit the locked area only with staff supervision. The DON stated RNA 1 should not have
opened the locked gate for Resident 1. The DON stated RNA 1 failed to identify Resident 1 as a resident of
the facility resulting in Resident 1 ' s elopement. The DON stated the facility had not located Resident 1 (as
of this time of the interview) and as a result Resident 1 was at risk to experiencing negative effects from
missing her medications, including hypoglycemia (a condition in which the body ' s blood sugar level drop
below the normal range) or hyperglycemia (a condition in which the there is too much sugar in the blood). A
concurrent review of the Discharge Reconciliation Report with the DON indicated Resident 1 was
prescribed the following medications:
- Olanzapine (Zyprexa, a medication to treat several mental health conditions including psychosis) 2.5
milligram (mg - unit of measurement for weight/mass) twice daily for severe psychosis.
- Divalproex Sodium (Depakote, a medication to improve mood, thoughts, and behavior) 125 mg three
times daily for mood changes (sudden changes in how you feel).
- Aspirin (a medication used to treat pain, fever, inflammation and blood clots) 81 mg daily for the
prevention of myocardial infarction (a medical condition where blood flow to the heart muscle is suddenly
blocked).
- Furosemide (Lasix, a medication used to treat excessive fluid accumulation) 20 mg every Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday for edema (swelling caused by the accumulation of excess fluid in the body).
- Nebivolol HCL (Bystolic, a medication used to treat high Blood Pressure) 20 mg daily for hypertension.
- Repaglinide (Prandin, a medication used to treat high blood sugar levels) 0.5 mg three times a day with
meals for diabetes mellitus.
- Insulin Lispro (Humalog - a rapid-acting insulin used to manage high blood sugar levels) 3 units (unit of
measurement) before meals for diabetes mellitus.
- Nifedipine (Procardia, a medication used to treat high Blood Pressure and chest pain) 90 mg daily for the
prevention of anginal pain (chest pain) associated with coronary artery disease (a condition where the
arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked).
During an interview on 4/25/2025 at 2:40 p.m. with RNA 1, RNA 1 stated on 4/24/2025 at approximately
6:50 p.m. while walking towards the locked gate, Resident 1 asked RNA 1 to open the door stating, I have
to leave now. I need to buy stuff. I will be back soon. RNA 1 stated she (RNA 1) did not ask Resident 1 if
Resident 1 was a visitor or a resident and did not check to see if Resident 1 was wearing an ID wristband.
RNA 1 stated because Resident 1 looked nice and well-dressed RNA 1 concluded Resident 1 was a visitor
and opened the locked gate allowing Resident 1 to leave the facility without supervision. RNA 1 stated RNA
1 should have verified Resident 1 ' s identity prior to letting Resident 1 leave the facility.
