1. The facility did not implement the care plan to provide enough supervision for Resident 1's mobility;
2. The facility did not update Resident 1's care plan to provide adequate supervision post-event.
These failures compromised Resident 1's health and safety, as he was found by the police and, was
admitted to the acute hospital for treatment and evaluation on 9/20/23, and had a potential risk for Resident
1's elopement in the future.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 1's medical record indicated he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including unspecified Alzheimer ' s disease (a brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking
skills, and eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks) and unspecified Dementia (impaired ability
to remember, think, or make decisions that interfere with doing everyday activities).
During an interview with the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) A on 9/21/23 at 2:53 p.m., LVN A stated that
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) C reported that Resident 1 was not in his room around 10:30 p.m. on
9/19/23. Staff searched inside and outside the facility and reported to police around 11:05 p.m.
During a phone interview with CNA C on 1/30/24 at 10:57 p.m., CNA C stated she found Resident 1 was
not in his room around 10:30 p.m. on 9/19/24. She searched the rehabilitation and activity rooms and did
not find Resident 1, so she reported this to LVN A. CNA C further stated that Resident 1 had Alzheimer ' s
disease and was confused. Sometimes, Resident 1 got up at midnight because he thought it was morning
and she needed to redirect him for time disorientation.
Review of Resident 1's IDT post-event notes dated 9/20/23 indicated that Resident 1 was post-elopement
and returned to the facility at 5:30 a.m., with an unwitnessed fall per EMTs( Emergency Medical Services )
