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, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure the residents environment remained
as free of accident hazards as is possible and ensure each resident received adequate supervision for one
(Resident #1) of three residents reviewed for accidents and hazards.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 did not elope from the facility after a visitor utilized the exit code
then held the door open for the resident to walk out on 04/18/25 around 9:52 PM. The temperature outside
was a high of 91 degrees and a low of 68. The resident was found over three hours later. She was taken to
the hospital for evaluation after 1:30 AM.
The noncompliance was identified as PNC. The IJ began on 04/18/24 and ended on 04/21/24. The facility
had corrected the noncompliance before the survey began.
This deficient practice placed residents at risk for elopements resulting in falls, injuries, dehydration, and
hospitalization.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #1's face sheet, printed 05/07/25, reflected a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and discharged on 04/19/25. Her diagnoses included cerebral infarction due to occlusion
or stenosis of small artery (stroke), hypertension (high blood pressure), aphasia following unspecified
cerebrovascular disease (difficulty speaking), expressive language disorder (difficulty speaking), and
difficulty in walking.
Review of Resident #1's admission MDS assessment, dated 04/19/25, Section C (Cognitive Patterns)
reflected a BIMS assessment was not completed, nor did staff assess her short-term memory. Section GG
(Functional Abilities) reflected she was independent with ADLs including transfers and walking 150 feet.
Review of Resident #1's admission assessment and baseline care plan, initiated 04/11/25, reflected the
resident was not an elopement risk but was at risk for falls.
Review of Resident #1's Elopement Risk Assessment, dated 04/11/25, reflected a 1 which indicated no risk
for elopement.
Review of Resident #1's psychosocial assessment completed 04/15/25, reflected resident was not very
verbal at this time and did not answer many of the questions.
