This survey cited 9 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety 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 ensure the resident environment remained as free of accident hazards as possible, and each resident received adequate supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents for 5 of 15 residents (Residents #321, #80, #34, #43, and #53) reviewed for accidents and supervision. 1. The facility failed to ensure the memory care courtyard gate was locked. Resident #321 left the courtyard through the unlocked gate, after being left unsupervised by the MA A, and was headed toward the front of the facility. 2. The facility failed to train staff to monitor the memory care courtyard gates to ensure they were locked. 3. The facility failed to ensure Resident #80 (a resident with quadriplegia and the inability to hold his own cigarette without staff assistance), Resident #34, Resident #43 and Resident #53 were supervised during smoke breaks. An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was identified on 4/20/2023 at 4:18 p.m. While the IJ was removed on 04/22/2023, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of a pattern with a potential for more than minimal harm, due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems. These failures could place residents identified as elopement risk at risk for serious injury or death and placed residents who smoke at risk of injury, burns, and hospitalization due to risk of fire. Findings include: 1. Record review of Resident #321's face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. He had diagnoses which included other symptoms and signs which involved cognitive functions and awareness (learning and problem-solving), basal cell carcinoma of skin of nose (a type of skin cancer), hypertension (high blood pressure), and type 2 diabetes (an insufficient production of insulin, causing high blood sugar.). Record review of Resident #321's, undated, care plan revealed he was an elopement risk/wanderer and was at risk for possible injury related to impaired safety awareness and diagnosis of dementia (a group of symptoms that affects memory, thinking and interferes with daily life). Interventions were to 3. distract the resident from wandering by offering pleasant diversions, structured activities, (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some food, conversation, television, or books. 4. Provide structured activities: toileting, walking inside and outside, reorientation strategies, including signs, pictures and memory boxes. Record review of Resident #321's Elopement Assessment, dated 4/13/23 written by LVN O, revealed he was at low risk for elopement. Record review of Resident #321's Progress Notes, dated 4/14/23, written by LVN L, read in part, .after dinner, standing near the exit door, stated where is the door to get out, that he [Resident #321] needs to get out, Resident has history of wandering, Resident was redirected . Record review of Resident #321's History and Physical, dated 4/17/23, written by NP, revealed he had a history of agitation with dementia and was at risk for elopement. He was transferred to this facility on 4/13/23 for a secured unit. In an observation and interview on 4/19/23 at 2:18 p.m. in Resident #36's room, revealed Resident #321 walked by the window on the outside of the building, headed toward the front of the building. The State Surveyor immediately alerted the Administrator, Director of Environmental Services, and Maintenance Director, who were present in Resident #36's room. The Director of Environmental Services ran to the window and then left the room quickly. The Director of Environmental Services opened the exterior door near the laundry room with Resident #321 next to her and said look who I found. She escorted Resident #321 back inside the facility and walked him to the memory care unit. In an interview on 4/19/23 at 2:20 p.m. with MA A on the memory care unit, she said she was outside monitoring Resident #321 in the memory care courtyard. She said she did not tell anyone she left the resident outside. She said when she looked back outside Resident #321 was not there, and no other staff were outside. She said the courtyard gate was opened and she was surprised because it was always locked. She said she did not check the gate earlier to ensure it was locked because it was always locked. In an observation on 4/19/23 at 2:23 p.m. the memory care courtyard gate was opened. An additional opened gate near the laundry room was observed. There was a third opened gate at the front of the facility near the dumpster. Beyond the front opened gate was the busy main street where cars were passing by. In an observation and interview on 4/19/23 at 2:25 p.m. with Plant Operations Assistant who was outside of the building between the gate near the laundry room and the gate located near the front of the facility by the dumpster. He said the front gate and housekeeping (laundry) gate were normally unlocked until 4 p.m. He said the gate by memory care was locked and had to be locked at all times. In an interview on 4/19/23 at 2:29 p.m., the Director of Environmental Services said when she left out of the building she found Resident #321 at the housekeeping (laundry) gate. In an interview on 4/19/23 at 2:43 p.m., the Administrator said it was the first time he saw the memory care courtyard gate opened. He said he would put a sign on the door (to indicate the gate needed to be closed at all times). In an interview on 4/19/23 at 3:06 p.m., MA A said she did not know much about Resident #321 because she only administered medication to him. She said she was unsure if he was an elopement risk but that could be a reason why he was in the memory care.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some outside with him but went inside to ask someone to take her place while she went to the restroom. She said when she looked back outside, she did not see Resident #321. She said she did not know the memory care courtyard gate was opened because it was always locked. She checked the gate and started to look for him. She said she ran back to the nursing station to alert the nurse the resident was not in the courtyard. She said staff were normally always outside with the residents and said they were trained to always stay with the residents. She said she was not trained on ensuring the gates were locked and was unsure if a code was used to lock the gate. She said the maintenance staff normally checked the gates because memory care staff did not have access to the gates. In an interview on 4/19/23 at 3:15 p.m. CNA LL, who worked in the memory care secured unit, said she was not trained on checking the courtyard gates and said the gates were permanently locked. In an interview on 4/19/23 at 3:19 p.m. CNA Y, who worked in the memory care secured unit, said at the time of the incident Resident #321 was agitated and wanted to go outside. MA A went out to the back courtyard with Resident #321, and then opened the door to go use the restroom. She said since she started working at the facility 5 years ago, the two courtyard gates were always closed. She said she did not know the code to the gates and the residents were free to move around. She said no one knew the gates were opened because they did not open them at all, no one used them, and it was permanently locked. She said they were trained on checking their surroundings and checking the inside doors of the memory care. She said the problem today was maintenance staff did not alert them the gate was open. In an interview on 4/19/23 at 3:58 p.m., the DON said Resident #321 was a new resident with dementia and who was an elopement risk. She said she was informed, MA A was outside with Resident #321 but left him unattended to use the restroom and did not know the gate was opened. She said staff had to be outside to monitor the residents to ensure there were no incidents such as falls or altercations. She said the gates were not normally opened, especially the memory care units because of the yard. She said maintenance staff sometimes checked to ensure the gates were locked but pest control might have been the person to leave the gate opened. She said there was no sign on the gate to instruct people to shut the door behind them. She said if there was no sign, someone could leave it open. She said staff were not trained specifically on monitoring the courtyard gates but were trained to ensure a safe and secure environment. She said the risk of leaving a resident unsupervised with an unlocked gate could result in the resident eloping or sustaining an accident. If not supervised appropriately they could elope or have an incident fall or accident. In an interview on 4/19/23 at 4:16 p.m., the Director of Plant Operations said the memory care courtyard gate had a magnet lock and it required a code to get in and out. He said pest control staff put black boxes for rats outside and left the gate opened. He said there was no sign on the gate to instruct to make sure the gate was locked so no one tried to get out. He said the facility did not monitor the closed gates because no one was supposed to walk out of those gates. In a telephone interview on 4/19/23 at 4:30 p.m., the Pest Control staff said when he was at the facility this morning, he went through the memory care courtyard gate because it was already opened. He said memory care staff normally let him into the secure unit in the building because he did not have the access codes to the gate. In an interview on 4/19/23 at 4:38 p.m., the DON said when she walked outside of the building to assess the situation at the time of the incident (on 4/19/23 at 2:18 p.m.) all gates were opened.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some In an interview on 4/19/23 at 4:39 p.m., the Administrator said Resident #321 admitted to the facility the other day (4/13/23) because he was wandering. He said no one was aware the side courtyard gate was opened, and no one was assigned to ensure the gates were locked and closed. He said there were a few things that could have happened to cause the gate to be left open, which included pest control staff and the fire alarm test. He said the fire alarm was tested earlier (with a life safety code surveyor and maintenance staff) but it did not resonate with him (Administrator) to go and check the gate. He said staff normally watched the gates during a fire alarm test but an announcement was made in the facility that it was a test. He said the gate was normally locked because it was a means for the secure unit residents to freely move around in the courtyard. He said all three gates (memory care, laundry, and front gate) should have never been left opened at the same time. He said he expected staff to supervise residents in the memory care courtyard and ensure they were ok if the resident was outside for an extended period of around 5 - 10 minutes. He said he did not expect staff to sit outside with the residents. He said there was a potential for Resident #321 to have gotten out of the facility. In an interview on 4/19/23 at 4:45 p.m., a copy of the facility's policies were requested from the Administrator on supervision of memory care residents and fire alarm tests. These policies were not provided prior to exit. In an observation and interview on 4/20/23 at 11:44 a.m. revealed Resident #321 was in his room looking out of the window. He said he did not remember if he went outside yesterday and he did not try to leave the facility. He said he was in the facility too long and did not want to be there anymore. In a telephone interview on 4/20/23 at 12:07 p.m., the Director of Environmental Services said on the day of the incident, 4/19/23, she found Resident #321 by the opened outside laundry gate headed toward the street. She said the front gate was cracked opened. 2. Record review of Resident #80's face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old male who was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. He had diagnoses which included quadriplegia (a form of paralysis that affects all four limbs), lack of coordination, and contracture of muscle (A permanent tightening of the muscles, tendons, skin, and surrounding tissues that causes the joints to shorten and stiffen). Record review of Resident #80's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 4/19/23, revealed a BIMS score of 13 out of 15, which indicated intact cognition. He was totally dependent on two staff for transfers and toilet use. He required extensive assistance of one staff for bed mobility, dressing, and personal hygiene. Record review of Resident #80's care plan, revised on 1/8/23, revealed he was a smoker. He required a protective apron and assistance while smoking. Interventions included: Resident utilizes the assistance of nursing staff to assist in smoking and holding cigarette, Resident will participate in supervised smoke breaks. Record review of Resident #80's safe smoking assessment dated [DATE] written by RN A revealed he required direct supervision while smoking. He could not independently light smoking materials safely, he could not extinguish smoking materials or dispose of ashes or other tobacco-related residue appropriately, and he could not use his hands to self-smoke. 3. Record review of Resident #34's face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was readmitted to the facility on [DATE].

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some smoking area could be seen. Resident #80 was wearing a protective smoking apron and had a cigarette in his mouth. Resident #80 said there were no staff out in the courtyard with them now. Resident #53 said a staff member normally supervised them, but a lady filled in today and told the residents she had to go back to work on the floor. In an observation and interview on 4/18/23 at 10:50 a.m. revealed CNA V opened the door to the courtyard where the residents were smoking and asked Resident #80 if he was ok. CNA V said the facility had designated smoking assignments and said he thought the laundry aide was supposed to supervise the residents. CNA V left the area. In an observation and interview on 4/18/23 at 10:53 a.m., the DON and State Surveyor entered the smoking area in the courtyard. The residents were no longer smoking. Resident #53 told the DON a staff member had to leave them outside smoking by themselves. The DON said she did not see any staff outside with the residents. She said the staff member should have stayed with the residents to finish watching them smoke. In an interview on 4/18/23 at 11:12 a.m., the laundry aide said she was the staff who took the residents out for their smoke break on 4/18/23 at 10:30 a.m. She said she gave the residents the cigarettes and left because she was behind on the laundry. She said the residents were still smoking when she left. She said she reported it to her manager, the Director of Environmental Services. She said the residents needed supervision per policy. She said Resident #80 had no use of his arms and she had to ensure he did not injure himself. She said she was previously instructed to light the cigarettes and stay with the residents if it was not busy. If she was busy, she was instructed to light the cigarettes and leave the residents. In an observation and interview on 4/20/23 at 1:07 p.m., Resident #80 said when he smoked, the cigarette sat in his mouth the whole time and he blew out like normal. Resident #80 said he could not raise a cigarette to his mouth. He said on 4/18/23 Resident #34 removed the cigarette from his mouth when he was done smoking.
