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 ensure supervision to prevent accidents for
one resident (Resident 1) when:
1. Resident 1 eloped from the facility and was found face down on the pavement; and,
2. The Wander Monitoring System (WMS, an alarm system compromised of a monitor placed on the
resident and placed on facility exits used to prevent residents from wandering or seeking to leave the
facility) ordered by the physician to be implemented for Resident 1 was not functional.
These failures resulted in Resident 1 ' s obtaining trauma to the right eyebrow and a laceration which
required stiches and decreased the facility ' s potential to ensure the safety of residents at risk of elopement
to leave the facility undetected placing the resident at risk for injury or harm.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 1 ' s clinical record showed Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a
diagnosis which included Traumatic Subdural Hemorrhage (a collection of blood between the brain and
skull caused by a head injury) and unspecified dementia (the loss of thinking, remembering, and reasoning
to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities). Review of Resident 1 ' s Minimum
Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool), dated 12/26/24, indicated a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS)
score of 6 which meant Resident had severe cognitive impairment.
A review of a care plan regarding Resident 1 ' s high risk for falls related to dementia, impulsiveness,
wandering, and poor safety awareness, initiated on 6/19/24, indicated, [Resident 1 ' s goal was to] not
sustain .injury through the review date [of 3/1/25] .[Interventions staff were to implement to assist Resident
1 to meet her goal included] Encourage and assist [Resident 1] with remaining in common, supervised
areas when awake [Initiated 1/10/25] .Provide resident a safe environment [Initiated 10/15/24] .
A review of a care plan regarding Resident 1 ' s potential for impaired behavioral patterns, initiated on
10/25/24, indicated, [Resident 1 ' s goal was to] have no injury related to impaired behavioral pattern
through review date [of 3/1/25] .[Interventions staff were to implement to assist Resident 1 to meet her goal
included] Monitor/Record occurrence of targeted behavior [which included] Exit Seeking .
A review of Resident 1 ' s progress note dated 1/12/25 at 11:06 p.m., indicated, [Resident 1] was

Have a registered nurse on duty 8 hours a day; and select a registered nurse to be the director of nurses on
a full time basis.
Based on interview, and facility record review, the facility failed to have a Registered Nurse (RN) performing
the function of the Director of Nursing (DON) on a full-time basis to provide oversight and guidance on the
provision of care provided by nursing staff. This failure prevented the facility from having the required
management, to adequately assess and meet the needs of residents in a timely manner and had the
potential to negatively impact the quality of care delivered by licensed and non-licensed nursing staff to
residents.
Findings:
During an interview on 1/17/25 at 12:35 p.m., Licensed Staff A stated there was no DON at the facility and
there has not been a DON since November. Licensed Staff A stated the facility was advertising for a DON,
but currently, there were no candidates.
During an interview on 1/17/ 25 at 12:45 p.m., the Infection Preventionist (IP) stated the previous DON left
at the end of November 2024. The IP also stated she currently occupied the full-time IP role and the interim
DON role, until a permanent DON is hired. The IP confirmed she was a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN).
During an interview on 1/21/ 25 at 3:30 p.m., the Administrator stated the DON left on 11/27/24 and the
facility has been advertising for a new DON, but at-the-moment there were no candidates. When asked who
was in charge, she stated the IP was the interim DON until a full-time DON could be hired. The
Administrator stated RNs were scheduled on all work shifts, but none wanted the DON position.
Review of the facility ' s job description titled Director of Nursing revised on 1/2/20 indicated, Qualifications
.Registered nurse with a current license in community's state .B.S. [Bachelor of Science] Degree in nursing

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a facility-wide assessment (a review of a
facility's infrastructure, resident population, and services to determine needed resources to provide care)

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure patient care equipment was
functioning and maintained under sanitary conditions when oxygen therapy equipment provided to facility
residents was dirty and not maintained.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure decreased the facility ' s potential to prevent infections among respiratory compromised
residents who used oxygen concentrators for medical treatments.
Findings:
During an interview on 1/21/25 at 1:48 p.m., the Maintenance Supervisor (MS) stated he checked the
oxygen storage room periodically to ensure the oxygen tanks were secure. The MS also stated he did not
have oversight nor did any maintenance on the oxygen concentrators and was unsure who maintained the
oxygen concentrators.
During an observation and current interview on 1/21/25 at 2:00 p.m., the Infection Preventionist (IP) stated
she tracked all residents on respiratory therapy and any respiratory infections that occurred in the facility.
The IP stated there were currently six residents on oxygen therapy who used oxygen concentrators
provided by the facility.
An observation of the oxygen storage room and concurrent interview on 1/21/25 at 2:15 p.m., showed
multiple oxygen tanks were not secured or in a rack (unsecured oxygen tanks can be dangerous and cause
serious injury or death by tipping over and shear the valve or a pressurized cylinder to explode from a
mechanical failure). Three oxygen concentrators were observed to have dust covering the top and front of
the oxygen concentrators. The sides of one concentrator had filters that were full of lint and debris. On one
oxygen concentrator the last date of maintenance service performed was 3/25/20. The IP verified the
concentrators were dirty and stated she did not know who was responsible for cleaning and maintaining the
concentrators. IP stated she was in the process of establishing a clean and dirty location for the oxygen
concentrators.
During a continued interview on 1/21/25 at 2:30 p.m., the IP verified there was no maintenance contract for
service of the oxygen concentrators. A request for a policy and procedure and instructions for use (IFU) for
the maintenance of the oxygen concentrators was requested but not provided.
