confidential residents reviewed for grievances.
Residents Affected - Some

Residents Affected - Some
Record review of Grievance logs dated June 2024 - November 2024 revealed no evidence of grievances
voiced in Resident Council meetings.
During an interview on 11/20/2024 at 10:50 a.m., the SW stated grievances were to be written by the
person that directly received the grievance. She stated the grievance would then come to her. The SW
stated she would hand the grievance to the department manager the grievance pertained to. She stated
after the department manager finished their part in the grievance investigation, the form would be handed
back to her. She stated she filed the form in the grievance binder once the process had been completed.
The SW stated the AD brought grievances made during the Resident Council meeting to her attention
during the morning staff meeting. The SW stated she had been working in the facility for the last 3 months.
She stated there was a grievance from August 30th, 2024, written by the AD about call lights taking too
long to be answered. She stated there was no documentation that the resident who made the grievance
was notified of the findings after the grievance had gone through investigation process. She stated the
facility should notify residents of what was discovered about the grievance after the residents'
representatives were notified. She stated there was no place on the form for resident notification but there
was a place for resident representative notification. She stated that was not filled in on August 30th, 2024,
grievance. She stated everything that required attention should be documented on the grievance form. She
stated she felt communication and the AD not being used to having the SW in the building may have led to
the failure of grievance forms not being filled out. She stated she believed that the AD had taken care of the
grievances. The SW stated the effect that not communicating responses back to residents could lead to
them being frustrated and could cause feelings of not being heard.
During an interview on 11/20/2024 at 11:26 a.m., the DON stated if the Resident Council had a grievance
that was nursing related, she was to follow up on those grievances. She stated she thought the AD had
come to her about 2 months ago with concerns from the Resident Council meeting. She stated she had
gone back to the Resident Council President with some of those resolutions but stated she had not gone
back to the all the resident council members. She stated she felt all the Resident Council members should
be notified during a follow-up resident council meeting of the grievance findings and she did not know why
that had not been done. She stated she continued to learn the processes of the facility. She stated the
result of not following up with the Resident Council could cause them to lose faith in Resident Council
meetings. She stated members could feel their needs were not being addressed or that they were not
important. The DON stated she did not know who was responsible for the grievance process in relation to
the Resident Council meetings. She stated that she would file a grievance if the resident spoke to her about
a concern. She stated that after a grievance had been made, the SW would follow up with residents about
findings.

During an interview on 11/20/2024 at 11:51 a.m., the AD stated she took down minutes from the Resident
Council meetings and then transferred information onto a form titled Resident Council Response Form. She
stated on 11/6/2024 she had not filled out the form for nursing. The AD stated on 11/6/2024 the members of
the confidential meeting had asked the DON to join the meeting, and the DON had joined that meeting. The
AD stated there was nothing documented about actions that were discussed at the meeting on 11/6/2024.
She stated on 9/12/2024 she did fill out a form for nursing. She stated she handed that form to the DON
and did not receive the form back from the DON. She stated the last form she had received back from the
DON was back on 6/5/2024 and that was a different DON that had filled the form out. The AD stated each
department head monitored that she received the response forms back. She stated the DON had been
having to work on the floor and that may have caused her to delay giving the response form back to the AD.
The AD stated she had been instructed to document anything brought up in the Resident Council meetings
as that was important to the residents. She stated she could only report back to the Resident Council what
was verbally told to her, and she did remember that management told her staff were being educated on the
Resident Council's concerns. She stated she did feel that Resident Council needed a response about their
concerns. She stated some departments were good at reporting the findings back to her so that she could
relay information to the Resident Council.
During an interview on 11/20/2024 at 12:51 p.m., the ADMN stated the facility was in the process of
changing over the process for handling grievances voiced in the Resident Council meetings. He stated his
expectation would be for the grievance to be brought to the department manager's attention. He stated the
facility had 72 hours to resolve the issue and then the resolution should be communicated to the individual
or council if an actual grievance was filed. He stated some of the concerns brought up in the Resident
Council meetings should be grievances and documented as grievances. The ADMN stated if there were
multiple people bringing up the same issue then a resolution should be communicated back to the group.
He stated the AD was responsible for communicating resolution of grievances to the Resident Council or
depending on the situation the department manager was responsible. He stated that the AD was who
monitored that grievance resolutions were communicated back to the Resident Council. He stated the AD
could ask the department manager to attend the Resident Council meeting and verbalize resolution based
on the members' request. He stated not communicating resolutions could cause for the Resident Council
members to be frustrated.
Record review of the policy titled Grievances, Recording, and Investigating revised on 01/12/2023, revealed
The Administrator or designee will record and maintain all grievances in the Grievance Log. The Resident
Grievance Form will be filed with the Administrator or designee and the resolution will be identified within
three (3) working days of the concern. The resident, or person acting on behalf of the resident, will be
informed of the findings of the investigation, as well as any corrective actions recommended, within 3
working days of the filing of the grievance.

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure 1 of 6 residents (Resident #54)
reviewed were free from neglect.
Residents Affected - Few
1.
On 11/17/24 at 7:03:01 p.m. Resident #54 left the building unnoticed by staff, despite the wander guard
alarm alarming at the exit door.
Facility failed to implement immediate action to prevent neglect due to lack of supervision of 6 cognitively
impaired individuals with known elopement risk which could result in falls, injuries, dehydration, and death.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 12/6/24. The IJ template was provided to the facility on
[DATE] at 2:45 pm. While the IJ was removed on 12/7/24, the facility remained out of compliance at a level
of potential for more than minimal harm and a scope of isolation, because all staff had not been trained on
door codes, what to in case of door alarms, and procedure for a resident elopement.
These failures could affect residents who were identified as elopement risks and place them at risk of
serious bodily harm, physical impairment, or death.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #54's, face sheet dated 12/9/24 revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted to
the facility on [DATE]. Resident #54 had diagnoses which included hypertensive heart disease,
hypertension, muscle weakness, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type, and reduced mobility. The face sheet
indicated Resident #54 was discharged on 11/29/24 to another nursing facility.
Record review of Resident #54's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed she had a BIMS of 00, which
indicated severe cognitive impairment. Resident #54 required supervision and wore a wander guard.
During an observation of a facility video dated 11/17/24 indicated Resident #54 exited the facility by
pushing on the 15 second emergency exit (alarm sounding) at 7:03:00 pm. Resident #54 was wearing a
t-shirt, pajama pants, and tennis shoes. CNA A arrived at the door at 7:11:20 pm and exited the building.
CNA A was viewed entering back into the building at 7:11:50 pm, indicated 30 seconds elapsed looking for
Resident #54. Upon entering back into the building at 7:11:50, CNA A turned off the door alarm and did not
do a head count of all residents. Afterwards the facility failed to investigate and take measures to prevent
recurrence. Even after Resident #54 was returned to the facility, the facility failed to ensure that residents,
who require wander guard bracelets, were monitored, and supervised appropriately to prevent further
neglect.
Record review of a progress note of Resident #54 dated 11/18/24 at 12:10 am by ADON LVN . indicated,
this ADON LVN received a call regarding resident at 9:46 pm asking if we had a resident by the name of
Resident #54. ADON LVN enquired about how resident had come to be at apartment. ADON LVN also
brought resident back to facility and facilitated safe return and delegated that agency nurse perform

During an interview on 12/5/24 at 3:15 pm, MOTP A stated that on 11/17/24 at roughly 9:15 pm her son
came inside and said there was a lady wandering out on the road and in the apartment complex. She
stated, he stated she looked lost and confused because she was walking in a circle. She stated, let's go get
her. She stated her son went back out in the rain and dark and finally found her and brought her back to the
apartment. She stated Resident #54 seemed confused, was cold and shivering. She stated Resident #54
was only wearing a t-shirt, pajama pants, and tennis shoes. She stated she wrapped Resident #54 in a
towel and did not recognize her as any of her neighbors. She stated that her son went and got MOTP B to
see if she knew who Resident #54 was. She stated when MOTP B showed up they asked Resident #54
some questions and then they found the wander guard on Resident #54's leg. She stated when they found
the wander guard, they realized that Resident #54 was probably from the nursing facility across the street.
She stated MOTP B called the facility and ADON LVN came and picked Resident #54 up.
During an interview on 12/5/24 at 3:45 pm, MOTP B stated MOTP A's son came to her apartment and
stated he saw someone in the parking lot out on the road kind of wandering and walking in a circle out
there. She stated it was dark and raining. She stated her primary concerns were to not let her go to
highway off the road because they have been having issues with drag racers on that road. She stated that
MOTP A's son told her they found Resident #54, she was wandering and they took her inside their
apartment. She stated when she got to their apartment Resident #54 was sitting on the couch and wrapped
up in a towel and shivering. She stated Resident #54 was wearing a t-shirt, pajama pants, and tennis
shoes. She stated she tried to ask Resident #54 her name and where she was from but Resident #54 told
her another town and her name. She stated when she came back to the living room MOTP A told her she
believed the woman was hurt. She asked MOTP A why and MOTP A told her she had a bandage on her
leg. She stated she went to Resident #54 and asked her if she was hurt and if she could look at her leg.
She stated that was when she found Resident #54 was not hurt but had a wander guard on, and stated to
MOTP A, I bet she was from that facility across the street. She stated she called the facility and asked if
they were missing any residents. She stated the woman who answered (ADON LVN) stated no, what were
you talking about. She stated were you missing anyone by the name of Resident #54. She stated ADON
LVN replied, oh shit and stated she would be right there to pick her up. She stated ADON LVN did come
and picked her up immediately.
During an interview at 12/6/24 at 8:40 AM, CNA A stated she was the aid who was in the video. She stated
she was helping another resident in their room. She stated when she exited their room, she heard the
alarm going off down hallway B. She stated there were two nurses sitting at the nursing station not doing
anything. She stated she was not sure how long the alarm had been going off. She stated most of the day,
another resident with a wander guard had been setting off the alarm. She stated as she was walking down
hallway B and saw the resident and assumed he was the one that set the door off. She stated she went to
the door, exited the facility, looked outside, and came back in. She stated she did not see any resident. She
stated upon entering back into the building she turned the alarm off. She stated because she saw the other
resident, she did not do a head count of the facility for all residents. She stated the two nurses sitting at the
nurse's station, stated they did not answer the alarming door because they did not know the codes. She
stated that the headcount should have been done for Resident #54's safety. She stated it was lucky that
Resident #54 did not get hurt.

Attempted to reach out to agency staffing company on 12/5/24 and 12/6/24, could not contact two nurses
notated sitting at nurses' station.
During an interview on 12/6/24 at 10:40 am, LVN A (agency nurse) stated when she first worked for the
facility the facility gave her an onboarding packet. She stated the packet did not contain any door codes for
the facility. She stated the standard for any facility was if a door alarm was going off and was triggered by a
wander guard, move the resident from the door. She stated if the resident that triggered the door was still
by the door, move the resident away from the door. She stated if the door was activated and there was no
resident near the door, you were to go search outside for the resident. She stated then return inside the
building and initiate a resident head count. She stated if the head count was missing any resident, to call
the admin, the DON, the charge nurse whoever you can, to inform them of an elopement. She stated at the
facility, the codes for the doors were not given. She stated she did not know the codes for any of the doors
to go in or out other than the breakroom door. She stated the protocol for any alarming door was to find the
resident that set it off. She stated most of the time the resident that triggered the alarm was still standing
near the door. She stated but if a door alarm was triggered and the door opened, she would have looked
outside first. She stated after she looked outside, if she did not know the door code, she would request help
from staff that did know the code. She stated not knowing the code to a door is no excuse to not check the
door or on any resident in the area.
During an interview on 12/5/24 at 12:40, pm ADON LVN stated the normal protocol for possible elopement
was that if an alarm was sounding at any door in the building the individual (employee) goes to the door.
She stated they should go outside to look for the resident. She stated if the resident was still there setting
off the alarm to remove the resident from the door and then reset the alarm. She stated that she did not
know the full story and has not seen the video. She stated that was the door in which Resident #54 exited
through. She stated employee CNA A went and looked outside, came back inside, reset the door alarm,
and went back to work. She stated that at roughly 9:40 pm the facility received a call from someone outside
the facility. She stated they asked her if they had a resident by the name of Resident #54 that stayed in the
facility. She stated that they did. She stated the caller informed her that they had her at the apartment
across the street. She stated she would come get Resident #54 immediately. She stated she had no idea
what Resident #54 was doing or where exactly the resident went for 2 hours and 40 mins. She stated that
rounding should be completed every 2 hours on all residents. She stated she was not sure if a head count
was completed for the entire facility on the 17th at 7pm by employee CNA A. She stated multiple times
throughout the day there was another resident activating the front door alarm with his wander guard. She
stated because the alarm had gone off so many times during the day, the staff was desensitized to the
alarm going off in the building. She stated that normally Resident #54 sits at the nurse's station each night
after she gets done walking. She stated she believed the facility would have noticed at some point Resident
#54 was missing. She stated when she received the call from MOTP B at 9:40 pm, she had the staff initiate
a head count of all residents while she went and picked up Resident #54. She stated when she got back to
the facility, Resident #54 was taken to her room, her wet clothing was removed, and she was put to bed.
She stated to her knowledge no other residents were reviewed or rounded on because Resident #54 was
safe and back in the facility. She stated she did not know there were two nurses sitting at the nurse's station
did not even check the door. She stated she was lucky that Motp found Resident #54, it could have been
much worse if Resident #54 got hurt.
During an interview on 12/6/24 at 11:15 am, ADON LVN stated she did not give out any of the door codes
to any agency staff. She stated that there was a list of topics that were covered with the agency staff, she
stated but I won't lie to you

the topics to cover were done extremely fast so the agency staff can get out on the floor and start working.
She stated there was a binder at the nurse's station that had all the door codes and policies/procedures for
anyone to pick up and review.
During an observation on 12/6/24 at 11:20 am, there were no policies or procedures in the binder only

During an interview on 12/6/24 at 11:45 am, the DON stated Resident #54 did exit the building through the
fire emergency exit door on hallway B at 7:00 pm on 11/17/24. She stated the video showed CNA A go
down to the door, exit the building, return inside the building, and turn off the alarm. She stated she was not
sure why CNA A did not do a head count of all residents when she deactivated the alarm. She stated she
was not sure why the alarm went off for that long of a time. She stated there were 2 agency nurses working
that night. She stated her expectation of a door alarm going off should be acknowledged immediately. She
stated if the resident was not by the door, the employee should go outside, do an observation around the
facility, and look any resident, if no resident was found outside the employee should let the charge nurse
and the DON know immediately. She stated that she knew Resident #54 was picked up and brought back to
the facility. She stated a head count of all residents was done at 9:40 pm. She stated that Resident #54 was
rounded on every 15 minutes. She stated she did not know if all other residents with wander guards were
monitored after the return of Resident #54. She stated that all agency staff should have known to go and
check the alarming door. She stated it did not matter if the door codes were known or not by any staff. She
stated the residents are the priority and should have been checked on. She stated the ADON LVN does all
the trainings for the facility. She stated this should never have happened and the head count should have
been done.

area inside the building to find the possible resident that set the alarm off and redirect the resident from the
door.
Record review on 12/9/24 of in-service titled abuse, neglect, and exploitation, instructed by ADON LVN
completed on 11/18/24. ADON LVN stated that due to the elopement the facility did do an in-service on
abuse, neglect, and exploitation. She stated during the education she did go over the whole policy, and she
discussed with staff what constitutes as abuse, neglect, and exploitation. She stated she also covered what
to do if abuse or neglect were to occur and/or was witnessed in the facility. She stated the process was to
report any incident directly to the Administrator because he was the abuse neglect coordinator.
During an interview on 12/7/24 at 10:15 am, LVN C (day nurse) stated there were 3 in-services that she
could remember but it was basically a big training yesterday while she was on shift. She stated first was
elopement and what to do if a door alarm was going off. She stated if a door alarm was going off and
opened upon arrival with no resident in site, she would go outside and search the surrounding area. She
stated if no resident was found outside, she would return back inside, and inform staff of a possible
elopement. She stated she would inform the charge nurse, the DON, or the Administrator of a possible
elopement. She stated she would then start a head count of all residents in the facility. She stated there
was a binder now at the nurse's station with all the policies and procedures. She stated the binder included
abuse neglect, elopement, and other policies and procedures. She stated that one sheet in the book also
contained the alarms and codes to all doors in the facility. She stated they also would do rounding on all
residents with wander guards every two hours. She stated for abuse/neglect, if she were to witness or
observe anything of that nature to separate or remove the resident from the situation, also to immediately
inform the Administrator of the incident, and give report to the Administrator.
During an interview on 12/7/24 at 10:25 am, CNA B (Day shift) stated she did have to do in-services before
she could come on to work today. She stated the categories of the in-services included elopement, where
to find guidance, and abuse/neglect. She stated the main topic at hand was what to do if a door alarm was
going off in the facility. She stated they emphasized the importance of going to the door immediately and
checking for any residents at the door. She stated if a resident with a wander guard was still at the door and
the door was still locked to re-direct the resident away from the door. She stated but if the door alarm was
going off and the door could open, it was vital to go outside, and look for the resident. She stated if no
resident was found outside, she was to inform staff to start a resident head count. She stated the second
topic was where to find all the policies and procedures in the building. She stated there was a new binder at
the nurse's station that contained all the policies and procedures for given situations. She stated also within
the binder were all the codes for all the doors in the building.
During an interview on 12/7/24 at 10:30 am, LVN D (Night Nurse) stated before he was allowed to work last
night he had to go through a few trainings. He stated he used to be an agency nurse, but now worked full
time for the facility. He stated he forgot his phone at work, so he was here at this time. He stated most of the
trainings were related to door alarms in the facility. He stated if an alarm was going off in the facility, he was
to immediately check the door. He stated if the resident that set off the alarm was still in the area and the
door was still locked then he was to re-direct the resident from the door. He stated however, if the door
alarm was going off and the door opens, even if there was a resident with a wander guard standing next to
the door, he was to go outside the facility and look around the building. He stated if no resident was found
outside, he was to turn off the door alarm, make sure the door locks, and get with all the staff to do a
resident head count. He

jeopardy to resident health or

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure implementation of written policies
and procedures that prohibit and prevent neglect for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #54) reviewed were free
from neglect.
Residents Affected - Few
1. On 11/17/24 at 7:03:01 p.m. Resident #54 left the building unnoticed by staff, despite the wander guard
alarm alarming at the exit door.
2. Facility failed to follow policy for emergency procedure-missing resident.
3. Facility failed to implement immediate action to prevent neglect due to lack of supervision of 6 cognitively
impaired individuals with known elopement risk which could result in falls, injuries, dehydration, and death.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 12/6/24. The IJ template was provided to the facility on
[DATE] at 2:45 pm. While the IJ was removed on 12/7/24, the facility remained out of compliance at a level
of potential for more than minimal harm and a scope of isolation, because all staff had not been trained on
door codes, what to in case of door alarms, and procedure for a resident elopement.
These failures could affect residents who were identified as elopement risks and place them at risk of
serious bodily harm, physical impairment, or death.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #54's, face sheet dated 12/9/24 revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted to
the facility on [DATE]. Resident #54 had diagnoses which included hypertensive heart disease,
hypertension, muscle weakness, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type, and reduced mobility. The face sheet
indicated Resident #54 was discharged on 11/29/24 to another nursing facility.
Record review of Resident #54's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed she had a BIMS of 00, which
indicated severe cognitive impairment. Resident #54 required supervision and wore a wander guard.
During an observation of a facility video dated 11/17/24 indicated Resident #54 exited the facility by
pushing on the 15 second emergency exit (alarm sounding) at 7:03:00 pm. Resident #54 was wearing a
t-shirt, pajama pants, and tennis shoes. CNA A arrived at the door at 7:11:20 pm and exited the building.
CNA A was viewed entering back into the building at 7:11:50 pm, indicated 30 seconds elapsed looking for
Resident #54. Upon entering back into the building at 7:11:50, CNA A turned off the door alarm and did not
do a head count of all residents. Afterwards the facility failed to investigate and take measures to prevent
recurrence. Even after Resident #54 was returned to the facility, the facility failed to ensure that residents,
who require wander guard bracelets, were monitored, and supervised appropriately to prevent further
neglect.
Record review of a progress note of Resident #54 dated 11/18/24 at 12:10 am by ADON LVN . indicated,
this ADON LVN received a call regarding resident at 9:46 pm asking if we had a resident by the name of

During an interview on 12/5/24 at 3:15 pm, MOTP A stated that on 11/17/24 at roughly 9:15 pm her son
came inside and said there was a lady wandering out on the road and in the apartment complex. She
stated, he stated she looked lost and confused because she was walking in a circle. She stated, let's go get
her. She stated her son went back out in the rain and dark and finally found her and brought her back to the
apartment. She stated Resident #54 seemed confused, was cold and shivering. She stated Resident #54
was only wearing a t-shirt, pajama pants, and tennis shoes. She stated she wrapped Resident #54 in a
towel and did not recognize her as any of her neighbors. She stated that her son went and got MOTP B to
see if she knew who Resident #54 was. She stated when MOTP B showed up they asked Resident #54
some questions and then they found the wander guard on Resident #54's leg. She stated when they found
the wander guard, they realized that Resident #54 was probably from the nursing facility across the street.
She stated MOTP B called the facility and ADON LVN came and picked Resident #54 up.
During an interview on 12/5/24 at 3:45 pm, MOTP B stated MOTP A's son came to her apartment and
stated he saw someone in the parking lot out on the road kind of wandering and walking in a circle out
there. She stated it was dark and raining. She stated her primary concerns were to not let her go to
highway off the road because they have been having issues with drag racers on that road. She stated that
MOTP A's son told her they found Resident #54, she was wandering, and they took her inside their
apartment. She stated when she got to their apartment Resident #54 was sitting on the couch and wrapped
up in a towel and shivering. She stated Resident #54 was wearing a t-shirt, pajama pants, and tennis
shoes. She stated she tried to ask Resident #54 her name and where she was from but Resident #54 told
her another town and her name. She stated when she came back to the living room MOTP A told her she
believed the woman was hurt. She asked MOTP A why and MOTP A told her she had a bandage on her
leg. She stated she went to Resident #54 and asked her if she was hurt and if she could look at her leg.
She stated that was when she found Resident #54 was not hurt but had a wander guard on, and stated to
MOTP A, I bet she was from that facility across the street. She stated she called the facility and asked if
they were missing any residents. She stated the woman who answered (ADON LVN) stated no, what were
you talking about. She stated were you missing anyone by the name of Resident #54. She stated ADON
LVN replied, oh shit and stated she would be right there to pick her up. She stated ADON LVN did come
and picked her up immediately.
During an interview at 12/6/24 at 8:40 AM, CNA A stated she was the aid who was in the video. She stated
she was helping another resident in their room. She stated when she exited their room, she heard the
alarm going off down hallway B. She stated there were two nurses sitting at the nursing station not doing
anything. She stated she was not sure how long the alarm had been going off. She stated most of the day,
another resident with a wander guard had been setting off the alarm. She stated as she was walking down
hallway B and saw the resident and assumed he was the one that set the door off. She stated she went to
the door, exited the facility, looked outside, and came back in. She stated she did not see any resident. She
stated upon entering back into the building she turned the alarm off. She stated because she saw the other
resident, she did not do a head count of the facility for all residents. She stated the two nurses sitting at the
nurse's station, stated they did not answer the alarming door because they did not know the codes. She
stated that the headcount should have been done for Resident #54's safety. She stated it was lucky that
Resident #54 did not get hurt.

Attempted to reach out to agency staffing company on 12/5/24 and 12/6/24, could not contact two nurses
notated sitting at nurses' station.
During an interview on 12/6/24 at 10:40 am, LVN A (agency nurse) stated when she first worked for the
facility the facility gave her an onboarding packet. She stated the packet did not contain any door codes for
the facility. She stated the standard for any facility was if a door alarm was going off and was triggered by a
wander guard, move the resident from the door. She stated if the resident that triggered the door was still
by the door, move the resident away from the door. She stated if the door was activated and there was no
resident near the door, you were to go search outside for the resident. She stated then return inside the
building and initiate a resident head count. She stated if the head count was missing any resident, to call
the admin, the DON, the charge nurse whoever you can, to inform them of an elopement. She stated at the
facility, the codes for the doors were not given. She stated she did not know the codes for any of the doors
to go in or out other than the breakroom door. She stated the protocol for any alarming door was to find the
resident that set it off. She stated most of the time the resident that triggered the alarm was still standing
near the door. She stated but if a door alarm was triggered and the door opened, she would have looked
outside first. She stated after she looked outside, if she did not know the door code, she would request help
from staff that did know the code. She stated not knowing the code to a door is no excuse to not check the
door or on any resident in the area. She stated that the policy is to check any door that was alarmed as fast
as possible. She stated that was the number one rule with a door that was alarmed, find the resident than
shut off the alarm.
During an interview on 12/5/24 at 12:40, pm ADON LVN stated the normal protocol for possible elopement
was that if an alarm was sounding at any door in the building the individual (employee) goes to the door.
She stated they should go outside to look for the resident. She stated if the resident was still there setting
off the alarm to remove the resident from the door and then reset the alarm. She stated that she did not
know the full story and has not seen the video. She stated that was the door in which Resident #54 exited
through. She stated employee CNA A went and looked outside, came back inside, reset the door alarm,
and went back to work. She stated that at roughly 9:40 pm the facility received a call from someone outside
the facility. She stated they asked her if they had a resident by the name of Resident #54 that stayed in the
facility. She stated that they did. She stated the caller informed her that they had her at the apartment
across the street. She stated she would come get Resident #54 immediately. She stated she had no idea
what Resident #54 was doing or where exactly the resident went for 2 hours and 40 mins. She stated that
rounding should be completed every 2 hours on all residents. She stated she was not sure if a head count
was completed for the entire facility on the 17th at 7pm by employee CNA A. She stated multiple times
throughout the day there was another resident activating the front door alarm with his wander guard. She
stated because the alarm had gone off so many times during the day, the staff was desensitized to the
alarm going off in the building. She stated that normally Resident #54 sits at the nurse's station each night
after she gets done walking. She stated she believed the facility would have noticed at some point Resident
#54 was missing. She stated when she received the call from MOTP B at 9:40 pm, she had the staff initiate
a head count of all residents while she went and picked up Resident #54. She stated when she got back to
the facility, Resident #54 was taken to her room, her wet clothing was removed, and she was put to bed.
She stated to her knowledge no other residents were reviewed or rounded on because Resident #54 was
safe and back in the facility. She stated she did not know there were two nurses sitting at the nurse's station
did not even check the door. She stated she was lucky that Motp found Resident #54, it could have been
much worse if Resident #54 got hurt. She stated the protocol was to check the alarmed

door, find the resident, and then initiate a head count. She stated this was not done. She stated the policy
for missing resident was not followed. She stated the fact that CNA A went to the door and did not do a
headcount was not following the policy.
During an observation on 12/6/24 at 11:20 am, there were no policies or procedures in the binder only
signature sheets of staff that had completed orientation. No door codes were found in the binder.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 12/6/24 at 11:45 am, the DON stated Resident #54 did exit the building through the
fire emergency exit door on hallway B at 7:00 pm on 11/17/24. She stated the video showed CNA A go
down to the door, exit the building, return inside the building, and turn off the alarm. She stated she was not
sure why CNA A did not do a head count of all residents when she deactivated the alarm. She stated she
was not sure why the alarm went off for that long of a time. She stated there were 2 agency nurses working
that night. She stated her expectation of a door alarm going off should be acknowledged immediately. She
stated if the resident was not by the door, the employee should go outside, do an observation around the
facility, and look any resident, if no resident was found outside the employee should let the charge nurse
and the DON know immediately. She stated that she knew Resident #54 was picked up and brought back to
the facility. She stated a head count of all residents was done at 9:40 pm. She stated that Resident #54 was
rounded on every 15 minutes. She stated she did not know if all other residents with wander guards were
monitored after the return of Resident #54. She stated that all agency staff should have known to go and
check the alarming door. She stated it did not matter if the door codes were known or not by any staff. She
stated the residents are the priority and should have been checked on. She stated the ADON LVN does all
the trainings for the facility. She stated this should never have happened and the head count should have
been done. She stated that the CNA A should have done a head count, because this was not done, she did
not follow the policy for the facility with a missing resident.
Record review of facility's policy titled Abuse, Neglect, and exploitation dated 10/2023 indicated: the facility
will provide protection for the health, welfare, and rights of each resident by developing and implementing
written policies and procedures that prohibit and prevent abuse, neglect, and exploitation and
misappropriation of resident property.
An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 12/6/24 at 2:45 pm. The Administrator and DON were informed,
and Immediate Jeopardy Template was provided. The Administrator and DON were notified that a Plan of
Removal was requested at that time.
A Plan of Removal was accepted on 12/7/24 at 6:03 PM and reflected the following:

in-service on abuse, neglect, and exploitation. She stated during the education she did go over the whole
policy, and she discussed with staff what constitutes as abuse, neglect, and exploitation. She stated she
also covered what to do if abuse or neglect were to occur and/or was witnessed in the facility. She stated
the process was to report any incident directly to the Administrator because he was the abuse neglect
coordinator.
During an interview on 12/7/24 at 10:15 am, LVN C (day nurse) stated there were 3 in-services that she
could remember but it was basically a big training yesterday while she was on shift. She stated first was
elopement and what to do if a door alarm was going off. She stated if a door alarm was going off and
opened upon arrival with no resident in site, she would go outside and search the surrounding area. She
stated if no resident was found outside, she would return back inside, and inform staff of a possible
elopement. She stated she would inform the charge nurse, the DON, or the Administrator of a possible
elopement. She stated she would then start a head count of all residents in the facility. She stated there
was a binder now at the nurse's station with all the policies and procedures. She stated the binder included
abuse neglect, elopement, and other policies and procedures. She stated that one sheet in the book also
contained the alarms and codes to all doors in the facility. She stated they also would do rounding on all
residents with wander guards every two hours. She stated for abuse/neglect, if she were to witness or
observe anything of that nature to separate or remove the resident from the situation, also to immediately
inform the Administrator of the incident, and give report to the Administrator.
During an interview on 12/7/24 at 10:25 am, CNA B (Day shift) stated she did have to do in-services before
she could come on to work today. She stated the categories of the in-services included elopement, where
to find guidance, and abuse/neglect. She stated the main topic at hand was what to do if a door alarm was
going off in the facility. She stated they emphasized the importance of going to the door immediately and
checking for any residents at the door. She stated if a resident with a wander guard was still at the door and
the door was still locked to re-direct the resident away from the door. She stated but if the door alarm was
going off and the door could open, it was vital to go outside, and look for the resident. She stated if no
resident was found outside, she was to inform staff to start a resident head count. She stated the second
topic was where to find all the policies and procedures in the building. She stated there was a new binder at
the nurse's station that contained all the policies and procedures for given situations. She stated also within
the binder were all the codes for all the doors in the building.
During an interview on 12/7/24 at 10:30 am, LVN D (Night Nurse) stated before he was allowed to work last
night he had to go through a few trainings. He stated he used to be an agency nurse, but now worked full
time for the facility. He stated he forgot his phone at work, so he was here at this time. He stated most of the
trainings were related to door alarms in the facility. He stated if an alarm was going off in the facility, he was
to immediately check the door. He stated if the resident that set off the alarm was still in the area and the
door was still locked then he was to re-direct the resident from the door. He stated however, if the door
alarm was going off and the door opens, even if there was a resident with a wander guard standing next to
the door, he was to go outside the facility and look around the building. He stated if no resident was found
outside, he was to turn off the door alarm, make sure the door locks, and get with all the staff to do a
resident head count. He stated he was also in-serviced on a new binder that would be at the nurse's
station. He stated the new binder contained all the door codes and alarms. He stated the binder also
contained all the policies and procedures given for different situation, like a quick reference guide. He stated
other than that the last in-service was related to abuse/neglect. He stated it went over what to look for, how
to react, and who to report to if he were to witness anything like that.

Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure that residents received
treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice, and residents' choices during a
confidential meeting for 12 of 12 residents reviewed for quality of care.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure that licensed staff were not withheld resident wipes, which led to the staff having
to use paper towels and toilet paper for resident care.
This failure could put residents at risk of being unclean and skin sheer during direct resident care.
Findings included:
During an observation on 11/18/2024 at 10:00 AM, cases of resident wipes were being stored in the DON's
office. The supply closets on Hall C and E were observed to have no wipes available.
During an interview on 11/18/2024 at 10:00 AM, CNA-C stated the wipes were kept in the DON's office with
only a few kept on one or two hall carts. She stated the DON locked them in her office storage closet.
During an observation on 11/18/2024 at 10:09 PM there were no wipes on the linen carts of Halls D, E, F
with only half of one package of wipes on Hall C.
During a confidential meeting on 11/19/2024 at 9:59 AM, 12 of 12 residents had issues with staff not having
enough wipes/briefs. 1 stated that she had to go to the ADON or the DON and ask for wipes herself due to
staff not being able to get them. Another resident stated peri care had been performed on night shift with
paper towels due to wipes shortage.
During an interview on 11/18/2024 at 9:50 AM, LVN-G stated the wipes were kept in the DON's office. She
stated she felt they should have been easily accessible on the floor. LVN-G stated if she ran out of wipes,
she, other staff, and residents had to ask for them with the residents having to show them an empty
package if they wanted more. She stated it was inconvenient when having to provide resident care. She
stated, staff had to get permission from the DON before more was to be provided. LVN-G stated she felt it
slowed down resident care in the wipes not being provided.
During an interview on 11/18/2024 at 10:00 AM, CNA-H stated, the wipes were kept in the DON's office.
She stated the DON had started doing this to save on wipes and was told staff were using too many.
During an interview on 11/18/2024 at 10:20 PM, CNA-E stated she had worked at this facility since May
2024 with continued shortage of wipes. CNA-E stated she had cleaned residents with wet towels when
running out of wipes due to the wipes being locked in the DON's off at night. She stated the towels were not
as soft as the wipes and it was hard on resident's skin. CNA-E stated that the staff were only allowed so
many packages per shift and if they ran out, they were to call the DON, but having been at night she would
not answer. She stated they only received a certain number of packages of wipes per shift.
During an interview on 11/18/2024 at 10:35 PM with LVN-F and LVN-J they both stated there was a

shortage of wipes. LVN-F stated if she ran out of wipes on the night shift, she was to call the DON for her to
come up and unlock her office, but she stated most of the time, they did not answer the phone. LVN-F and
LVN-J stated she felt the facility should have provided more wipes.
During an interview on 11/20/2024 at 9:30 AM the DON stated there was a shortage of wipes. She stated
the residents who needed and wanted them had to go get them from her. The DON stated she did the
ordering of supplies and forgot to order them in time. The DON stated she did not like to leave wipes out
because they disappeared.
She had currently ordered 26 cases a week, with prior orders been 10 a week and had not been sufficient.
The DON stated she has failed at times and had not always been organized. She stated she would have
liked for the ADON to take over the supplies but felt she was not ready. She stated she would provide
documentation of the orders but those were not provided prior to exit. The DON stated that her expectations
were to have plenty of wipes for residents so their needs would be accommodated. She stated she
monitored, and the failure was staff having not communicated with her.
During an interview on 11/20/2024 at10:00 AM, the ADON stated the wipes disappeared when not locked
up in the DON's office. She stated that staff had also brought their own wipes for resident care. The ADON
stated she helped monitor them and she stated she planned to take the position of ordering because the
DON could not fulfill the requirement. The ADON stated the negative impact to residents in not using wipes
and paper towels instead for resident care could be skin breakdown and infection. She stated her
expectations were for all resident care be always done with wipes.

[DATE] at 2:45 pm. While the IJ was removed on 12/7/24, the facility remained out of compliance at a level
of potential for more than minimal harm and a scope of pattern, because all staff had not been trained on

During an interview on 12/5/4 at 3:15 pm, Motp A stated that on 11/17/24 at roughly 9:15 pm her son came
inside and said there was a lady wandering out on the road and in the apartment complex. She stated, he
stated she looked lost and confused because she was walking in a circle. She stated, let's go get her. She
stated her son went back out in the rain and dark and finally found her and brought her back to the
apartment. She stated Resident #54 seemed confused, was cold and shivering. She stated Resident #54
was only wearing a t-shirt, pajama pants and tennis shoes. She stated she wrapped Resident #54 in a
towel and did not recognize her as any of her neighbors. She stated that her son went and got the
apartment manager Motp B to see if she knew who Resident #54 was. She stated when Motp B showed up
they asked Resident #54 some questions and then they found the wander guard on Resident #54's leg.
She stated when they found the wander guard, they realized that Resident #54 was probably from the
nursing facility across the street. She stated Motp B called the facility and ADON LVN came and picked
Resident #54 up.
During an interview on 12/5/24 at 3:45 pm, Motp B stated Motp A's son came to her apartment and stated
he saw someone in the parking lot out on the road kind of wandering and walking in a circle out there. She
stated it was dark and raining. She stated her primary concerns was to not let her go to highway off the
road because they have been having issues with drag racers on that road. She stated that Motp A's son
told her they found Resident #54 was wandering and took her inside their apartment. She stated when she
got to their apartment Resident #54 was sitting on the couch and wrapped up in a towel and shivering. She
stated Resident #54 was wearing a t-shirt, pajama pants, and tennis shoes. She stated she tried to ask
Resident #54 her name and where she was from but Resident #54 told her another town and her name.
She stated when she came back to the living room Motp A told her she believed the woman was hurt. She
asked Motp A why and Motp A told her she had a bandage on her leg. She stated she went to Resident
#54 and asked her if she was hurt and if she could look at her leg. She stated that was when she found
Resident #54 was not hurt but had a wander guard on, and stated to Motp A, I bet she was from that facility
across the street. She stated she called the facility and asked if they were missing any residents. She
stated the woman who answered (ADON LVN) stated no, what were you talking about. She stated were you
missing anyone by the name of Resident #54. She stated ADON LVN replied, oh shit and stated she would
be right there to pick her up. She stated ADON LVN did come and picked her up immediately.
During an interview at 12/6/24 at 8:40 AM, CNA A stated she was the aid who was in the video. She stated
she was helping another resident in their room. She stated when she exited their room, she heard the
alarm going off down hallway B. She stated there were two nurses sitting at the nursing station not doing
anything. She stated she was not sure how long the alarm had been going off. She stated most of the day,
another resident with a wander guard had been setting off the alarm. She stated as she was walking down
hallway B and saw the resident and assumed he was the one that set the door off. She stated she went to
the door, exited the facility, looked outside, and came back in. She stated she did not see any resident. She
stated upon entering back into the building she turned the alarm off. She stated because she saw the other
resident, she did not do a head count of the facility for all residents. She stated the two nurses sitting at the
nurse's station, stated they did not answer the alarming door because they did not know the codes. She
stated that the headcount should have been done for Resident #54's safety. She stated it was lucky that
Resident #54 did not get hurt.
During an interview on 12/5/24 at 12:40, pm ADON LVN stated the normal protocol for possible elopement

the door. She stated they should go outside to look for the resident. She stated if the resident was still there
setting off the alarm to remove the resident from the door and then reset the alarm. She stated that she did
not know the full story and has not seen the video. She stated that was the door in which Resident #54
exited through. She stated employee CNA A went and looked outside, came back inside, reset the door
alarm, and went back to work. She stated that at roughly 9:40 pm the facility received a call from someone
outside the facility. She stated they asked her if they had a resident by the name of Resident #54 that
stayed in the facility. She stated that they did. She stated the caller informed her that they had her at the
apartment across the street. She stated she would come get Resident #54 immediately. She stated she had
no idea what Resident #54 was doing or where exactly the resident went for 2 hours and 40 mins. She
stated that rounding should be completed every 2 hours on all residents. She stated she was not sure if a
head count was completed for the entire facility on the 17th at 7pm by employee CNA A. She stated
multiple times throughout the day there was another resident activating the front door alarm with his wander
guard. She stated because the alarm had gone off so many times during the day, the staff was desensitized
to the alarm going off in the building. She stated that normally Resident #54 sits at the nurse's station each
night after she gets done walking. She stated she believed the facility would have noticed at some point
Resident #54 was missing. She stated when she received the call from MOTP B at 9:40 pm, she had the
staff initiate a head count of all residents while she went and picked up Resident #54. She stated when she
got back to the facility, Resident #54 was taken to her room, her wet clothing was removed, and she was
put to bed. She stated to her knowledge no other residents were reviewed or rounded on because Resident
#54 was safe and back in the facility. She stated she did not know there were two nurses sitting at the
nurse's station did not even check the door. She stated she was lucky that Motp found Resident #54, it
could have been much worse if Resident #54 got hurt.
During an interview on 12/6/24 at 11:15 am, ADON LVN stated there was a binder at the nurse's station
that has all the door codes and policies/procedures for anyone to pick up and review.
During an observation on 12/6/24 at 11:20 am, there were no policies or procedures in the binder only
signature sheets of staff that had completed orientation. No door codes were found in the binder.
During an interview on 12/6/24 at 11:45 am, the DON stated Resident #54 did exit the building through the
fire emergency exit door on hallway B at 7:00 pm on 11/17/24. She stated the video showed CNA A go
down to the door, exit the building, return inside the building, and turn off the alarm. She stated she was not
sure why CNA A did not do a head count of all residents when she deactivated the alarm. She stated she
was not sure why the alarm went off for that long of a time. She stated there were 2 agency nurses working
that night. She stated her expectation of a door alarm going off should be acknowledged immediately. She
stated if the resident was not by the door, the employee should go outside, do an observation around the
facility, and look any resident, if no resident was found outside the employee should let the charge nurse
and the DON know immediately. She stated that she knew Resident #54 was picked up and brought back to
the facility. She stated a head count of all residents was done at 9:40 pm. She stated that Resident #54 was
rounded on every 15 minutes. She stated she did not know if all other residents with wander guards were
monitored after the return of Resident #54. She stated that all agency staff should have known to go and
check the alarming door. She stated it did not matter if the door codes were known or not by any staff. She
stated the residents are the priority and should have been checked on. She stated the ADON LVN does all
the trainings for the facility. She stated this should never have happened and the head count should have
been done.

Record review on 12/9/24 of in-service titled Door alarm education and elopement policy, instructed by a
group of people, but the Administrator did educate. The Administrator stated the education included door
alarms, how to react and what to do. He stated the education included elopement, education, and
abuse/neglect. He stated that if the alarm was sounding the door should be observed immediately. He
stated then if the door opens even with the alarm going off, the employee should go outside, and check the
area. He stated the employee should walk the entire facility and check the surrounding area. He stated if no
resident was seen/found the employee was to come back inside, turn off the alarm, make sure door was
locked, and then inform staff to initiate a head count for the entire facility. He stated that if the door was
alarming and the door did not open to look in the surrounding area inside the building to find the possible
resident that set the alarm off and redirect the resident from the door.
Residents Affected - Few
Record review on 12/9/24 of in-service titled abuse, neglect, and exploitation, instructed by ADON LVN
completed on 11/18/24. ADON LVN stated that due to the elopement the facility did do an in-service on
abuse, neglect, and exploitation. She stated during the education she did go over the whole policy, and she
discussed with staff what constitutes as abuse, neglect, and exploitation. She stated she also covered what
to do if abuse or neglect were to occur and/or was witnessed in the facility. She stated the process was to
report any incident directly to the Administrator because he was the abuse neglect coordinator.
During an interview on 12/7/24 at 10:15 am, LVN C (day nurse) stated there were 3 in-services that she
could remember but it was basically a big training yesterday while she was on shift. She stated first was
elopement and what to do if a door alarm was going off. She stated if a door alarm was going off and
opened upon arrival with no resident in site, she would go outside and search the surrounding area. She
stated if no resident was found outside, she would return back inside, and inform staff of a possible
elopement. She stated she would inform the charge nurse, the DON, or the Administrator of a possible
elopement. She stated she would then start a head count of all residents in the facility. She stated there
was a binder now at the nurse's station with all the policies and procedures. She stated the binder included
abuse neglect, elopement, and other policies and procedures. She stated that one sheet in the book also
contained the alarms and codes to all doors in the facility. She stated they also would do rounding on all
residents with wander guards every two hours. She stated for abuse/neglect, if she were to witness or
observe anything of that nature to separate or remove the resident from the situation, also to immediately
inform the Administrator of the incident, and give report to the Administrator.
During an interview on 12/7/24 at 10:25 am, CNA B (Day shift) stated she did have to do in-services before
she could come on to work today. She stated the categories of the in-services included elopement, where
to find guidance, and abuse/neglect. She stated the main topic at hand was what to do if a door alarm was
going off in the facility. She stated they emphasized the importance of going to the door immediately and
checking for any residents at the door. She stated if a resident with a wander guard was still at the door and
the door was still locked to re-direct the resident away from the door. She stated but if the door alarm was
going off and the door could open, it was vital to go outside, and look for the resident. She stated if no
resident was found outside, she was to inform staff to start a resident head count. She stated the second
topic was where to find all the policies and procedures in the building. She stated there was a new binder at
the nurse's station that contained all the policies and procedures for given situations. She stated also within
the binder were all the codes for all the doors in the building.

During an interview on 12/7/24 at 10:30 am, LVN D (Night Nurse) stated before he was allowed to work last
night he had to go through a few trainings. He stated he used to be an agency nurse, but now worked full
time for the facility. He stated he forgot his phone at work, so he was here at this time. He stated most of the
trainings were related to door alarms in the facility. He stated if an alarm was going off in the facility, he was
to immediately check the door. He stated if the resident that set off the alarm was still in the area and the
door was still locked then he was to re-direct the resident from the door. He stated however, if the door
alarm was going off and the door opens, even if there was a resident with a wander guard standing next to
the door, he was to go outside the facility and look around the building. He stated if no resident was found
outside, he was to turn off the door alarm, make sure the door locks, and get with all the staff to do a
resident head count. He stated he was also in-serviced on a new binder that would be at the nurse's
station. He stated the new binder contained all the door codes and alarms. He stated the binder also
contained all the policies and procedures given for different situation, like a quick reference guide. He stated
other than that the last in-service was related to abuse/neglect. He stated it went over what to look for, how
to react, and who to report to if he were to witness anything like that.
During an interview on 12/7/24 at 10:35 am, RN A (Day Nurse) she stated there were 3 total in-services.
She stated there was training about elopement and risk of elopement for residents in the facility. She stated,
for example if there was a door going off in the facility to immediately go and check the door. She stated if
the resident who set the alarm off was still standing there, to redirect the resident. She stated however if
there was no resident at the door and the alarm was sounding, she would exit the facility. She stated she
would search the surrounding area for any possible residents. She stated she would return inside and start
a head count of all residents in the facility. She stated if there was no resident found, to turn the alarm off
upon entering the facility, make sure the door locks, and then do a head count of the entire facility of all
residents. She stated another in-service covered the new binder at the nurse's station. She stated the new
binder had all the policies and procedures for quick referencing. She stated there were also a sheet that
had all the codes for all the doors in the facility. She stated another part of the training included rounding on
all elopement risk residents in the facility every 2 hours.
During an interview on 12/7/24 at 10: CNA C (night shift) stated before she could start working for the day
she was in-serviced on a few different topics. She stated the first topic was elopement. She stated the
primary key in this in-service was when a door was alarming, was the door still locked or could the door be
opened. She stated if the door was still locked, she was to re-direct the resident that set off the alarm away
from the door. She stated but if the door could be opened, she would inform the nurse or charge nurse and
then go outside the facility to do a walk around. She stated if she was to return to the facility without seeing
any residents, she would inform the charge nurse or nurse and a resident head count would be initiated.
She stated the other new thing, which she felt was a great idea, was a new binder at the nurse's station.
She stated in the binder was the policies and procedures for different events that could occur in the facility
and what to do if they were to occur. She stated that also in the binder were all the codes to all the doors in
the facility. She stated lastly there was an in-service on abuse/neglect. She stated it covered what to look for
in given situations, who to report to, and what to do.
The Administrator were informed the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 12/07/2024 at 1:33pm. The
facility remained out of compliance at a severity level of at potential for more than minimal harm that was
not immediate and a scope of a pattern due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of their
corrective actions that were put into place.

HPPD (Hours Per Patient Day) that corporate had determined. She stated the HPPD was what had been
budgeted for her to reach to staff the facility. She did not know how often the corporation reviewed the
numbers but stated she felt that number was standard, and staffing was determined off the census. She
stated she looked at the acuity needs of residents and she distributed the nursing staff to halls based off
workload needed to care for residents. She stated she had difficulty with staffing weekends when there was
an adjustment in staffing schedules. She stated both she and her ADON did work the floor when needed
including weekends. She stated she had only had 1 day off since she had started working at the facility. She
stated she attempted to fill in staffing shortages by posting opening with agencies the facility used. She
stated they would call existing staff members and ask them to cover open shifts also. She stated staff had
brought workload concerns to her and that she will rotate the CNAs to different halls so that they do not get
overloaded. She stated she expected staff to come to her for help and that her door was always open. She
stated she expected nurses to help the CNAs with their workload, but it had been reported to her that
nurses did not help the CNAs. She stated she did not conduct exit conferences with staff on paper but did
interview them. She stated most staff stated they resigned because of pay and not because of workload.

forgotten to log off documentation system and another CNA did not realize they were documenting under
him.
During a confidential interview the confidential interview stated there were approximately 60 to 80 residents
in the building that they were responsible for. The confidential interview stated they did not have issues
completing their assignments when the facility was fully staffed but 3 CNAs were not enough. The
confidential interview stated during the weekend of 11/16/2024 and 11/17/2024 the facility was not fully
staffed. The confidential interview stated that only 3 CNAs worked during the day shift because an agency
CNA called in and on 11/15/2024 a CNA walked out of the facility that the facility could not find coverage
for. The confidential interview stated the management at the facility were aware of staffing situation but they
had not been asked their opinion on staffing levels required to take care of current resident needs.

stated it is difficult with no call no shows. The ADMN stated he was not aware of any days that the HPPD
was not met. The ADMN stated that some of the agency staff did not always complete their documentation,
and he had called that agency to report. The ADMN stated his expectation would be that staff would do
their job and complete documentation. The ADMN stated he was not aware of any staff member
documenting on another staff's log in. The ADMN stated blanks on documentation came down to staff
