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 reviews, the facility failed to ensure each resident was free from
neglect for 1 of 11 residents (CR #1) reviewed for neglect.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to initiate safety interventions/monitoring or provide psychiatric services for CR #1, who
had a documented history of depression and suicidal ideations. The physician ordered an urgent psychiatric
consultation (05/21/2023) after he expressed suicidal ideations and attempted to elope from the facility
several times, which resulted in an actual suicide attempt on 05/27/2023.
The facility failed to refer CR #1 for psychiatric services as recommended when he was discharged from an
acute care hospital on [DATE].
LVN A failed to notify the DON and Administrator when CR #1 initially expressed suicidal ideations on
05/21/2023 and inform them that CR #1's physician ordered an urgent psychiatric consultation.
The facility failed to notify CR #1's physician when he expressed suicidal ideations a second time on
05/26/2023.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was identified on 06/02/2023 at 1:25 p.m. While the IJ was removed
on 06/07/2023, the facility remained out of compliance at the severity level of actual harm with a scope
identified as pattern due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
These failures placed residents with a history of depression or suicidal ideations at risk of experiencing
emotional distress, psychiatric episodes, and possible death from not receiving adequate care,
interventions, and psychiatric services.
Findings include:
Record review of CR #1's face sheet dated 06/01/2023 revealed he was an [AGE] year-old male who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His admitting diagnoses included with Parkinson's Disease (a disease of
the central nervous system that affects movement, often including tremors), rhabdomyolysis (a breakdown
of muscle tissue that releases a damaging protein into the blood), acute kidney failure (a condition in which
the kidneys suddenly cannot filter waste from the blood), weakness, repeated falls, depression (a mental
health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing
significant impairment in daily life), and dementia (a condition characterized by progressive or persistent
loss of intellectual functioning). CR #1 was also diagnosed

Services said CR #1's physician documented his suicidal ideations and that she wanted an urgent psych
consult. The Regional Director of Clinical Services said the incident was not communicated to the top
(administration), so they did not have an opportunity to follow-up on the referral. The facility's elopement
policy was requested, but the wandering policy was provided.
In an interview with the VP of Clinical Operations on 06/01/2023 at 11:00 a.m., she stated the facility did an
emergency QAPI on 05/27/2023, after CR #1 attempted suicide. She said all staff involved were counseled
and in-serviced. She said nursing staff talked to each resident who could speak and used a special
psychiatric tool given to them by a psych provider to interview about depression and suicide. She said the
residents who could not talk were assessed head to toe to insure nothing was out of the ordinary for them.
She said the Administrator was suspended because their investigation found he may have known about CR
#1's prior history of depression.
In a telephone interview with the Administrator on 06/01/2023 at 11:45 a.m., he stated he knew CR #1 kept
saying he wanted to go home because he wanted to shampoo his carpet at home. He said it was not out of
the ordinary for residents to express desires to go home. The Administrator said CR #1 had previously been
admitted to the facility for rehab and he (CR #1) wanted attention, that was it. The Administrator said CR #1
was not depressed and he just wanted to go home and do chores. The Administrator said CR #1's
depression, suicidal ideations, or behaviors were never brought to his attention prior to admission, and he
never spoke to CR #1's family before or after his admission. The Administrator said the night before the
suicide attempt (05/26/2023), LVN C called him around 10:00 p.m. He said he thought LVN C texted him, or
he missed her call and then she texted saying CR #1 was trying to leave the building and that he wanted to
kill himself. The Administrator said he sent LVN C a text to call 911, but she sent a text or called him, saying
CR #1 was doing fine after they gave him popcorn. The Administrator said he called the LVN C back and
she said CR #1 was fine and brushing his teeth. The Administrator said he told LVN C he needed to know
what CR #1's state of mind was. He said LVN C said CR #1 could not even recall what he said earlier. He
said he told LVN C to put CR #1 on monitoring (no monitoring was documented) and notify him if anything
changed. He said he did not receive any more calls that night until incident on Saturday, 05/27/2023 when
LVN A called and said CR #1 tried to hurt himself.
In a telephone interview with LVN A on 06/01/2023 at 11:59 a.m., he stated he was a charge nurse and he
only worked weekends. He said on 05/21/2023, the ST approached him and said CR #1 had difficulty
swallowing and she wanted to down grade his diet (to a mechanical soft diet). He said the ST told him CR
#1 refused the food she used to assess him and said he (CR #1) was tired and wanted to die. LVN A said
he went to follow-up with CR #1 in his room and asked about his diet. LVN A said he wanted CR #1 to say
in his own words how he felt, but he did not express a desire to die to him. LVN A said he did not ask CR #1
about what he said to the ST. LVN A said he called CR #1's doctor and got an order for a psych
consultation and he documented the situation. LVN A said the order was not an urgent order. He said
orders for psychiatric services were usually turned in to the SW. LVN A said he slipped the referral under
the SW's door on Sunday, 05/21/2023, and he did not hear anything else about CR #1's referral after that.
He said he did not relay this information to the DON, the Administrator, or anybody else. He said he did not
know the SW was on vacation, but had he known, he would have taken the referral order to someone else.
He said no special monitoring or intervention was initiated for CR #1. LVN A said that next weekend,
05/27/2023, CR #1 said he wanted to go home, but that was nothing out of ordinary from his usual
agitation. He said on 05/27/2023, he heard another nurse call his name and he ran to the library room and
saw CR #1 there with the Receptionist. He said by the time he got to the library, other staff had removed the
phone cord from CR #1's neck and he (CR #1) was just shaking.

called CR #1's family and the Administrator. LVN A said the police arrived while he was assessing CR #1

on 05/21/2023 and when she saw him on 05/22/2023, she asked him about the day before. She said she
asked him if he still wanted to harm himself and he said no, he just wanted to go home and did not want to
be in the facility. The NP said she documented in her notes that she put in an urgent request for psych
services. The NP said the order was urgent based on CR #1's history of depression. She said she was
familiar with the facility's referral process and the request had to be submitted to the SW then sent thru the
referral portal. She said the process took a little while, so it was urgent to be done timely. She said she
knew the psych provider saw patients at the facility on Mondays, so she knew CR #1 probably would not
have been seen Monday, 05/22/2023. She said she was not aware CR #1's discharging facility
recommended he be evaluated by psych services. She said had CR #1 exhibited behaviors, the facility staff
could have notified psych for medication if needed. The NP said she had no prior knowledge of CR #1's
history of suicidal ideations. She said she saw CR #1 again on 05/24/2023 and staff notified her CR #1 had
eloped. She said she was not notified of any other incident of suicidal ideations. She said had staff notified
her or the on-call doctor that CR #1 made a throat cutting motion (on the morning of 05/27/2023), she
would have sent him out to the hospital at that time.
In an interview with the SW on 06/01/2023 at 1:00 p.m., she stated, usually, the NP or doctor would write
an order and the nurse would print the order and give it to her. She said she sent an email to the psychiatric
provider and made the referral. The SW said the process usually only took one day and the provider came
on Mondays. She said she never received a referral or request for CR #1 to receive psych services. She
said she was on vacation 05/14/2023 - 05/24/2023. She said when she returned from vacation, she did not
see any request for CR #1 under her door. The SW said nobody ever asked her about any referral for CR
#1. She said the facility's nurses could do the referrals if she was not here. The SW said if the psych
provider was in the building and the nurses let them know someone needed to be seen, psych would have
evaluated CR #1 even without the referral. She said if the referral was already in their computer system,
they could have given it to him (psych) and he could have sent the referral to his (psych) office. The SW
provided a copy of CR #1's order for psych services from the computer system and said the order did not
say anything about urgency. She said she never saw a psych referral mention urgency. She said that
(06/01/2023) was the first time she saw CR #1's referral for psych services.
Observation of the facility on 06/01/2023 at 1:30 p.m. revealed the library was located in a room (not open
to the rest of the building) between the reception desk (front entrance) and the nurse's station. Further
observation revealed someone would have to pass the entrance to the library to see if anyone was inside
the library. There was a telephone with a cord on a small table next to a chair.

In a telephone interview with LVN C on 06/01/2023 at 1:22 p.m. revealed she usually worked the 2:00 p.m. 10:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. - 6:00 a.m. shift, but she rarely worked on weekends. She said one night (she
could not recall the date), she was about to pass medications and CR #1 thanked her for caring for him and
said he was leaving, but it was dark. LVN C said she asked CR #1 if his family was coming, but he said no,
he was leaving. She said she told CR #1 he was there for therapy and that was it, he went back to sleep.
LVN C said on another night (she could not recall the day), CR #1 said he was leaving, and she (LVN C)
called his RP (he was his own RP, but he did have an emergency contact), but she did not answer. LVN C
said earlier on that day, another staff told her CR #1 had gotten outside (eloped) so, that night CR #1 was
assigned a sitter (a facility housekeeper and maintenance staff). LVN C said to her knowledge, that was the
only night he had a sitter. LVN C said the night he made the cutting motion was the same night she called
CR #1's RP. She said they had to watch CR #1 because he would try to elope, and she noticed he went
towards one of the doors. LVN C said CR #1 said they (the nurses) would not let him out the front, so he
would get out one way or another, then he made cutting motion across his throat. LVN C said she asked CR
#1 if that meant he would cut himself, and he said, If you think that's what I'm saying. LVN C said she told
CR #1 if that was what he was saying, she would have to call the police. LVN C said CR #1 told her he
would go brush his teeth. She said the Administrator said to go talk to CR #1 and ask if he was going to
harm himself. LVN C said CR #1 acted like he did not recall doing that (making the cutting motion) or
anything that happened that night. LVN C said CR #1 said he was going to bed. LVN C said she did not
have the DON's phone number at that time. LVN C said she did not call CR #1's doctor because, to be
honest, it slipped her mind. LVN C said she waiting to see if CR #1 would react or do anything else. She
said now, she probably would have called the doctor. She said she was not aware of any referral for psych
services for CR #1.
In a telephone interview with RN D on 06/01/2023 at 1:34 p.m., she stated she was the weekend supervisor
and she only worked weekends. She said she interacted with CR #1 on weekends quite a bit. RN D said
CR #1 kept wanting to go home and tried to elope several times. RN D said she was never made aware of
CR #1's suicidal ideations the weekend before (05/21/2023) his suicide attempt and she worked 6:00 a.m. 10:00 p.m. RN D said she worked on the weekend the ST worked (05/21/2023) but she was never made
aware of CR #1 saying he wanted to die. RN D said CR #1 did not seem depressed and he had dementia
but was able to have a conversation and express his feelings. RN D said on 05/27/2023, CR #1 made his
usual attempts to elope and kept trying. She said eventually, she heard someone calling for a nurse to
check on CR #1 and she followed afterwards. RN D said when she got to the library, CR #1 was in there
sitting on a chair and LVN A was assessing him. She said she was not made aware that CR #1 had a
referral for psych services. RN D said on weekends, they contact the primary care doctor or NP for a
referral order and then they contact the provider they refer to. She said they could make a referral over the
phone and then fax it in. She said she had never done a referral over the weekend and unless it was an
emergency, they would wait until following week to do it. She said if the situation was emergent, she would
do the referral or send the resident out. She said if she felt there was an active plan for suicide, she would
notify the doctor and keep the resident on 1:1 monitoring until the doctor determined their next step.
In an interview with the DON on 06/01/2023 at 2:00 p.m., she said the Administrator called her on
05/26/2023 after CR #1 made the cutting motion across his throat. She said the Administrator told her
about CR #1 making the cutting motion, and she asked him if CR #1 had a plan and some other questions.
The DON said the Administrator said he would call the facility back to ask those questions and call back if
there was anything else. The DON said when the nurse went back in to talk to CR #1, he was no longer

just in case she wanted her to do anything different. The DON said she had in serviced the nurses on when
to communicate with physicians. The DON said she did not know if CR #1's referral was ever sent off to the
psych provider. She said the SW handled all referrals and she did not know who to contact about referrals
at their psych services provider. She said she believed the Administrator was handling referrals when the
SW went on vacation.

In a follow up telephone interview with the Administrator on 06/01/2023 at 2:25 p.m., he stated if the SW
was out, he would have done referrals but, he was never made aware of CR #1's order or referral. He said
CR #1's referral was never sent out.
In a telephone interview with the ST on 06/01/2023 at 2:31 p.m. She said CR #1 did not have suicidal
ideations. She said CR #1 told her his wife died at the facility 8-9 years prior and then he said, I guess I'm
going to die here too. The ST said it was not an ideation. She said she was working with him and showing
him how to swallow safer and he said, Lady, why do you care so much, just let me die. She said

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 each resident received adequate
supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents for 1 of 11 residents (CR #1) reviewed for
accidents and supervision.
The facility failed to provide adequate supervision and monitoring for CR #1 when he expressed suicidal
ideations and attempted to elope from the facility several times which resulted in actual elopements on
05/23/2023 and 05/27/2023 and an actual suicide attempt on 05/27/2023.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was identified on 06/02/2023 at 1:25 p.m. While the IJ was removed
on 06/07/2023, the facility remained out of compliance at the severity level of actual harm with a scope
identified as pattern due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
This failure placed residents with a history of suicidal ideations and exit seeking behaviors at risk of serious
harm and possible death from not receiving adequate supervision/monitoring and safety interventions.
Findings include:
Record review of CR #1's face sheet dated 06/01/2023 revealed he was an [AGE] year-old male who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His admitting diagnoses included with Parkinson's Disease (a disease of
the central nervous system that affects movement, often including tremors), rhabdomyolysis (a breakdown
of muscle tissue that releases a damaging protein into the blood), acute kidney failure (a condition in which
the kidneys suddenly cannot filter waste from the blood), weakness, repeated falls, depression (a mental
health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing
significant impairment in daily life), and dementia (a condition characterized by progressive or persistent
loss of intellectual functioning). CR #1 was also diagnosed with suicidal ideations (often called suicidal
thoughts or ideas, is a broad term used to describe a range of contemplations, wishes, and preoccupations
with death and suicide). CR #1 was transferred to a local acute care hospital on [DATE].
Record review of CR #1's MDS dated [DATE] revealed he had a BIMS score of 7 (severe cognitive
impairment); he felt down, depressed, or hopeless between 7-11 days; he did not experience hallucinations
or delusions; he rejected care daily; he wandered daily which placed him at significant risk of getting to
potentially dangerous places; he required supervision with no physical assistance for bed mobility,
transfers, walking, dressing, and bathing; he required supervision with setup assistance with eating and
personal hygiene; he ambulated independently with a walker; he was always continent of bowel and
bladder; he experienced coughing or choking during meals or when swallowing medications; and he was
prescribed antidepressant medication.
Record review of CR #1's care plan updated 05/27/2023 revealed the following:
-CR #1 had potential for elopement as evidenced by exit seeking behavior (05/23/2023 exited out the front
door). Goals included: Maintain the least restrictive environment while providing safety. Interventions
included: Have activities involved with favorite past times. Music. Exercise. Photo in

In an interview with the DON and the Regional Director of Clinical Services on 06/01/2023 at 9:45 a.m., the
Regional Director of Clinical Services stated the DON was new to the facility and regional staff was not
always in the building. The Regional Director of Clinical Services stated, based on what they knew, CR #1
had no previous suicidal ideations. The Regional Director of Clinical Services said CR #1's wife passed
away in the facility many years prior and he had no other family other than a neighbor who helped him out
prior to admission. The Regional Director of Clinical Services said CR #1's neighbor stated he (CR #1)
previously talked about wanting to die. The DON stated to their (administration) knowledge, CR #1 spoke
with the ST and referenced dying. The DON said CR #1's physician was notified and ordered an urgent
referral for psychiatric services, but psych services was not able to see CR #1 before the suicide attempt.
The Regional Director of Clinical Services stated CR #1's physician spoke with LVN A and that is where it
ended. The Regional Director of Clinical Services stated LVN A was educated because something like that
(suicidal ideations) should be escalated to the top (DON and Administrator). The Regional Director of
Clinical Services said LVN A did not let anybody else know about the conversation between CR #1 and the
ST. The Regional Director of Clinical Services said CR #1's physician documented his suicidal ideations
and that she wanted an urgent psych consult. The Regional Director of Clinical Services said the incident
was not communicated to the top (administration), so they did not have an opportunity to follow-up on the
referral. The facility's elopement policy was requested, but the wandering policy was provided.
In an interview with the VP of Clinical Operations on 06/01/2023 at 11:00 a.m., she stated the facility did an
emergency QAPI on 05/27/2023, after CR #1 attempted suicide. She said all staff involved were counseled
and in-serviced. She said nursing staff talked to each resident who could speak and used a special
psychiatric tool given to them by a psych provider to interview about depression and suicide. She said the
residents who could not talk were assessed head to toe to insure nothing was out of the ordinary for them.
She said the Administrator was suspended because their investigation found he may have known about CR
#1's prior history of depression.
In a telephone interview with the Administrator on 06/01/2023 at 11:45 a.m., he stated he knew CR #1 kept
saying he wanted to go home because he wanted to shampoo his carpet at home. He said it was not out of
the ordinary for residents to express desires to go home. The Administrator said CR #1 had previously been
admitted to the facility for rehab and he (CR #1) wanted attention, that was it. The Administrator said CR #1
was not depressed and he just wanted to go home and do chores. The

Administrator said CR #1's depression, suicidal ideations, or behaviors were never brought to his attention
prior to admission, and he never spoke to CR #1's family before or after his admission. The Administrator
said the night before the suicide attempt (05/26/2023), LVN C called him around 10:00 p.m. He said he
thought LVN C texted him, or he missed her call and then she texted saying CR #1 was trying to leave the
building and that he wanted to kill himself. The Administrator said he sent LVN C a text to call 911, but she
sent a text or called him, saying CR #1 was doing fine after they gave him popcorn. The Administrator said
he called the LVN C back and she said CR #1 was fine and brushing his teeth. The Administrator said he
told LVN C he needed to know what CR #1's state of mind was. He said LVN C said CR #1 could not even
recall what he said earlier. He said he told LVN C to put CR #1 on monitoring (no monitoring was
documented) and notify him if anything changed. He said he did not receive any more calls that night until
incident on Saturday, 05/27/2023 when LVN A called and said CR #1 tried to hurt himself.
In a telephone interview with LVN A on 06/01/2023 at 11:59 a.m., he stated he was a charge nurse and he
only worked weekends. He said on 05/21/2023, the ST approached him and said CR #1 had difficulty
swallowing and she wanted to down grade his diet (to a mechanical soft diet). He said the ST told him CR
#1 refused the food she used to assess him and said he (CR #1) was tired and wanted to die. LVN A said
he went to follow-up with CR #1 in his room and asked about his diet. LVN A said he wanted CR #1 to say
in his own words how he felt, but he did not express a desire to die to him. LVN A said he did not ask CR #1
about what he said to the ST. LVN A said he called CR #1's doctor and got an order for a psych
consultation and he documented the situation. LVN A said the order was not an urgent order. He said
orders for psychiatric services were usually turned in to the SW. LVN A said he slipped the referral under
the SW's door on Sunday, 05/21/2023, and he did not hear anything else about CR #1's referral after that.
He said he did not relay this information to the DON, the Administrator, or anybody else. He said he did not
know the SW was on vacation, but had he known, he would have taken the referral order to someone else.
He said no special monitoring or intervention was initiated for CR #1. LVN A said that next weekend,
05/27/2023, CR #1 said he wanted to go home, but that was nothing out of ordinary from his usual
agitation. He said on 05/27/2023, he heard another nurse call his name and he ran to the library room and
saw CR #1 there with the Receptionist. He said by the time he got to the library, other staff had removed the
phone cord from CR #1's neck and he (CR #1) was just shaking. He said he got someone to stay with CR
#1 while he called his doctor for an order to send him out and he called CR #1's family and the
Administrator. LVN A said the police arrived while he was assessing CR #1 and CR #1 told the officer, Oh, I
tried to kill myself, but it was nothing big. LVN A said the officer asked CR #1 again if he wanted to kill
himself and CR #1 said yes. LVN A said he did not assign CR #1 a sitter the previous weekend when he
initially expressing suicidal ideations. He said RN D called CR #1's family (after the suicide attempt) who
said CR #1 had a history of suicidal ideations and had done this (attempted suicide) before. He said CR
#1's family never mentioned prior to him having the cord around his neck that he had a history of suicide
attempts. LVN A said after he was in-serviced (after CR #1's suicide attempt), he realized he should have
expedited the information about the suicidal ideations and referral to the DON or management to let them
know what was stated.
In a telephone interview with CR #1's NP on 06/01/2023 at 12:33 p.m., she stated she visited CR #1 on
05/22/2023, after he was admitted on [DATE]. She said she was notified about CR #1's suicidal ideations
on 05/21/2023 and when she saw him on 05/22/2023, she asked him about the day before. She said she
asked him if he still wanted to harm himself and he said no, he just wanted to go home and did not want to
be in the facility. The NP said she documented in her notes that she put in an urgent request for psych
services. The

NP said the order was urgent based on CR #1's history of depression. She said she was familiar with the
facility's referral process and the request had to be submitted to the SW then sent thru the referral portal.
She said the process took a little while, so it was urgent to be done timely. She said she knew the psych
provider saw patients at the facility on Mondays, so she knew CR #1 probably would not have been seen
Monday, 05/22/2023. She said she was not aware CR #1's discharging facility recommended he be
evaluated by psych services. She said had CR #1 exhibited behaviors, the facility staff could have notified
psych for medication if needed. The NP said she had no prior knowledge of CR #1's history of suicidal
ideations. She said she saw CR #1 again on 05/24/2023 and staff notified her CR #1 had eloped. She said
she was not notified of any other incident of suicidal ideations. She said had staff notified her or the on-call
doctor that CR #1 made a throat cutting motion (on the morning of 05/27/2023), she would have sent him
out to the hospital at that time.
In an interview with the SW on 06/01/2023 at 1:00 p.m., she stated, usually, the NP or doctor would write
an order and the nurse would print the order and give it to her. She said she sent an email to the psychiatric
provider and made the referral. The SW said the process usually only took one day and the provider came
on Mondays. She said she never received a referral or request for CR #1 to receive psych services. She
said she was on vacation 05/14/2023 - 05/24/2023. She said when she returned from vacation, she did not
see any request for CR #1 under her door. The SW said nobody ever asked her about any referral for CR
#1. She said the facility's nurses could do the referrals if she was not here. The SW said if the psych
provider was in the building and the nurses let them know someone needed to be seen, psych would have
evaluated CR #1 even without the referral. She said if the referral was already in their computer system,
they could have given it to him (psych) and he could have sent the referral to his (psych) office. The SW
provided a copy of CR #1's order for psych services from the computer system and said the order did not
say anything about urgency. She said she never saw a psych referral mention urgency. She said that
(06/01/2023) was the first time she saw CR #1's referral for psych services.
Observation of the facility on 06/01/2023 at 1:30 p.m. revealed the library was located in a room (not open
to the rest of the building) between the reception desk (front entrance) and the nurse's station. Further
observation revealed someone would have to pass the entrance to the library to see if anyone was inside
the library. There was a telephone with a cord on a small table next to a chair.
In a telephone interview with LVN C on 06/01/2023 at 1:22 p.m. revealed she usually worked the 2:00 p.m. 10:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. - 6:00 a.m. shift, but she rarely worked on weekends. She said one night (she
could not recall the date), she was about to pass medications and CR #1 thanked her for caring for him and
said he was leaving, but it was dark. LVN C said she asked CR #1 if his family was coming, but he said no,
he was leaving. She said she told CR #1 he was there for therapy and that was it, he went back to sleep.
LVN C said on another night (she could not recall the day), CR #1 said he was leaving, and she (LVN C)
called his RP (he was his own RP, but he did have an emergency contact), but she did not answer. LVN C
said earlier on that day, another staff told her CR #1 had gotten outside (eloped) so, that night CR #1 was
assigned a sitter (a facility housekeeper and maintenance staff). LVN C said to her knowledge, that was the
only night he had a sitter. LVN C said the night he made the cutting motion was the same night she called
CR #1's RP. She said they had to watch CR #1 because he would try to elope, and she noticed he went
towards one of the doors. LVN C said CR #1 said they (the nurses) would not let him out the front, so he
would get out one way or another, then he made cutting motion across his throat. LVN C said she asked CR
#1 if that meant he would cut himself, and he said, If you think that's what I'm saying. LVN C said she told
CR #1 if that was what he was saying, she would have to call the police. LVN C said CR #1 told her

he would go brush his teeth. She said the Administrator said to go talk to CR #1 and ask if he was going to
harm himself. LVN C said CR #1 acted like he did not recall doing that (making the cutting motion) or
anything that happened that night. LVN C said CR #1 said he was going to bed. LVN C said she did not
have the DON's phone number at that time. LVN C said she did not call CR #1's doctor because, to be
honest, it slipped her mind. LVN C said she waiting to see if CR #1 would react or do anything else. She
said now, she probably would have called the doctor. She said she was not aware of any referral for psych
services for CR #1.
In a telephone interview with RN D on 06/01/2023 at 1:34 p.m., she stated she was the weekend supervisor
and she only worked weekends. She said she interacted with CR #1 on weekends quite a bit. RN D said
CR #1 kept wanting to go home and tried to elope several times. RN D said she was never made aware of
CR #1's suicidal ideations the weekend before (05/21/2023) his suicide attempt and she worked 6:00 a.m. 10:00 p.m. RN D said she worked on the weekend the ST worked (05/21/2023) but she was never made
aware of CR #1 saying he wanted to die. RN D said CR #1 did not seem depressed and he had dementia
but was able to have a conversation and express his feelings. RN D said on 05/27/2023, CR #1 made his
usual attempts to elope and kept trying. She said eventually, she heard someone calling for a nurse to
check on CR #1 and she followed afterwards. RN D said when she got to the library, CR #1 was in there
sitting on a chair and LVN A was assessing him. She said she was not made aware that CR #1 had a
referral for psych services. RN D said on weekends, they contact the primary care doctor or NP for a
referral order and then they contact the provider they refer to. She said they could make a referral over the
phone and then fax it in. She said she had never done a referral over the weekend and unless it was an
emergency, they would wait until following week to do it. She said if the situation was emergent, she would
do the referral or send the resident out. She said if she felt there was an active plan for suicide, she would
notify the doctor and keep the resident on 1:1 monitoring until the doctor determined their next step.
In an interview with the DON on 06/01/2023 at 2:00 p.m., she said the Administrator called her on
05/26/2023 after CR #1 made the cutting motion across his throat. She said the Administrator told her
about CR #1 making the cutting motion, and she asked him if CR #1 had a plan and some other questions.
The DON said the Administrator said he would call the facility back to ask those questions and call back if
there was anything else. The DON said when the nurse went back in to talk to CR #1, he was no longer
expressing suicidal ideations. The DON said in hindsight, she probably should have called CR #1's doctor
just in case she wanted her to do anything different. The DON said she had in serviced the nurses on when
to communicate with physicians. The DON said she did not know if CR #1's referral was ever sent off to the
psych provider. She said the SW handled all referrals and she did not know who to contact about referrals
at their psych services provider. She said she believed the Administrator was handling referrals when the
SW went on vacation.
In a follow up telephone interview with the Administrator on 06/01/2023 at 2:25 p.m., he stated if the SW
was out, he would have done referrals but, he was never made aware of CR #1's order or referral. He said
CR #1's referral was never sent out.
In a telephone interview with the ST on 06/01/2023 at 2:31 p.m. She said CR #1 did not have suicidal
ideations. She said CR #1 told her his wife died at the facility 8-9 years prior and then he said, I guess I'm
going to die here too. The ST said it was not an ideation. She said she was working with him and showing
him how to swallow safer and he said, Lady, why do you care so much, just let me die. She said CR #1 had
diagnosis of depression already, but for her, the words he said to her were resistance from him to do the
swallowing exercises and he had a lack of desire to get better. She said she told the charge nurse (LVN A)
about it.

Residents Affected - Some
Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with mental
disorder or psychosocial adjustment difficulty, or who has a history of trauma and/or post-traumatic stress
disorder.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident who displayed or is
diagnosed with mental disorder or psychosocial adjustment difficulty, or who has a history of trauma and/or
post-traumatic stress disorder, received appropriate treatment and services to correct the assessed
problem or to attain the highest practicable mental and psychosocial well-being for 1 of 11 residents (CR
#1) reviewed for psychosocial concerns.
The facility failed to initiate safety interventions or provide CR #1 with psychiatric services after his
physician ordered an urgent consultation when he expressed suicidal ideations and attempted to elope
from the facility several times and resulted in an actual suicide attempt on 05/27/2023.
The facility failed to review and follow recommendations from CR #1's discharging facility for a psychiatric
consultation.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was identified on 06/02/2023 at 1:25 p.m. While the IJ was removed
on 06/07/2023, the facility remained out of compliance at the severity level of actual harm with a scope
identified as pattern due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
These failures placed residents with a history of depression or suicidal ideations at risk of experiencing
emotional distress, psychiatric episodes, and possible death from not receiving adequate care,
interventions, and psychiatric services.
Findings include:
Record review of CR #1's face sheet dated 06/01/2023 revealed he was an [AGE] year-old male who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His admitting diagnoses included with Parkinson's Disease (a disease of
the central nervous system that affects movement, often including tremors), rhabdomyolysis (a breakdown
of muscle tissue that releases a damaging protein into the blood), acute kidney failure (a condition in which
the kidneys suddenly cannot filter waste from the blood), weakness, repeated falls, depression (a mental
health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing
significant impairment in daily life), and dementia (a condition characterized by progressive or persistent
loss of intellectual functioning). CR #1 was also diagnosed with suicidal ideations (often called suicidal
thoughts or ideas, is a broad term used to describe a range of contemplations, wishes, and preoccupations
with death and suicide). CR #1 was transferred to a local acute care hospital on [DATE].
Record review of CR #1's MDS dated [DATE] revealed he had a BIMS score of 7 (severe cognitive
impairment); he felt down, depressed, or hopeless between 7-11 days; he did not experience hallucinations
or delusions; he rejected care daily; he wandered daily which placed him at significant risk of getting to
potentially dangerous places; he required supervision with no physical assistance for bed mobility,
transfers, walking, dressing, and bathing; he required supervision with setup assistance with eating and
personal hygiene; he ambulated independently with a walker; he was always continent of bowel and
bladder; he experienced coughing or choking during meals or when swallowing medications; and he was
prescribed antidepressant medication.

In an interview with the DON and the Regional Director of Clinical Services on 06/01/2023 at 9:45 a.m., the
Regional Director of Clinical Services stated the DON was new to the facility and regional staff was not
always in the building. The Regional Director of Clinical Services stated, based on what they knew, CR #1
had no previous suicidal ideations. The Regional Director of Clinical Services said CR #1's wife passed
away in the facility many years prior and he had no other family other than a neighbor who helped him out
prior to admission. The Regional Director of Clinical Services said CR #1's neighbor stated he (CR #1)
previously talked about wanting to die. The DON stated to their (administration) knowledge, CR #1 spoke
with the ST and referenced dying. The DON said CR #1's physician was notified and ordered an urgent
referral for psychiatric services, but psych services was not able to see CR #1 before the suicide attempt.
The Regional Director of Clinical Services stated CR #1's physician spoke with LVN A and that is where it
ended. The Regional Director of Clinical Services stated LVN A was educated because something like that
(suicidal ideations) should be escalated to the top (DON and Administrator). The Regional Director of
Clinical Services said LVN A did not let anybody else know about the conversation between CR #1 and the
ST. The Regional Director of Clinical Services said CR #1's physician documented his suicidal ideations
and that she wanted an urgent psych consult. The Regional Director of Clinical Services said the incident
was not communicated to the top (administration), so they did not have an opportunity to follow-up on the
referral. The facility's elopement policy was requested, but the wandering policy was provided.
In an interview with the VP of Clinical Operations on 06/01/2023 at 11:00 a.m., she stated the facility did an
emergency QAPI on 05/27/2023, after CR #1 attempted suicide. She said all staff involved were counseled
and in-serviced. She said nursing staff talked to each resident who could speak and used a special
psychiatric tool given to them by a psych provider to interview about depression and suicide. She said the
residents who could not talk were assessed head to toe to insure nothing was out of the ordinary for them.
She said the Administrator was suspended because their investigation found he may have known about CR
#1's prior history of depression.

#1 kept saying he wanted to go home because he wanted to shampoo his carpet at home. He said it was
not out of the ordinary for residents to express desires to go home. The Administrator said CR #1 had
previously been admitted to the facility for rehab and he (CR #1) wanted attention, that was it. The
Administrator said CR #1 was not depressed and he just wanted to go home and do chores. The
Administrator said CR #1's depression, suicidal ideations, or behaviors were never brought to his attention
prior to admission, and he never spoke to CR #1's family before or after his admission. The Administrator
said the night before the suicide attempt (05/26/2023), LVN C called him around 10:00 p.m. He said he
thought LVN C texted him, or he missed her call and then she texted saying CR #1 was trying to leave the
building and that he wanted to kill himself. The Administrator said he sent LVN C a text to call 911, but she
sent a text or called him, saying CR #1 was doing fine after they gave him popcorn. The Administrator said
he called the LVN C back and she said CR #1 was fine and brushing his teeth. The Administrator said he
told LVN C he needed to know what CR #1's state of mind was. He said LVN C said CR #1 could not even
recall what he said earlier. He said he told LVN C to put CR #1 on monitoring (no monitoring was
documented) and notify him if anything changed. He said he did not receive any more calls that night until
incident on Saturday, 05/27/2023 when LVN A called and said CR #1 tried to hurt himself.
In a telephone interview with LVN A on 06/01/2023 at 11:59 a.m., he stated he was a charge nurse and he
only worked weekends. He said on 05/21/2023, the ST approached him and said CR #1 had difficulty
swallowing and she wanted to down grade his diet (to a mechanical soft diet). He said the ST told him CR
#1 refused the food she used to assess him and said he (CR #1) was tired and wanted to die. LVN A said
he went to follow-up with CR #1 in his room and asked about his diet. LVN A said he wanted CR #1 to say
in his own words how he felt, but he did not express a desire to die to him. LVN A said he did not ask CR #1
about what he said to the ST. LVN A said he called CR #1's doctor and got an order for a psych
consultation and he documented the situation. LVN A said the order was not an urgent order. He said
orders for psychiatric services were usually turned in to the SW. LVN A said he slipped the referral under
the SW's door on Sunday, 05/21/2023, and he did not hear anything else about CR #1's referral after that.
He said he did not relay this information to the DON, the Administrator, or anybody else. He said he did not
know the SW was on vacation, but had he known, he would have taken the referral order to someone else.
He said no special monitoring or intervention was initiated for CR #1. LVN A said that next weekend,
05/27/2023, CR #1 said he wanted to go home, but that was nothing out of ordinary from his usual
agitation. He said on 05/27/2023, he heard another nurse call his name and he ran to the library room and
saw CR #1 there with the Receptionist. He said by the time he got to the library, other staff had removed the
phone cord from CR #1's neck and he (CR #1) was just shaking. He said he got someone to stay with CR
#1 while he called his doctor for an order to send him out and he called CR #1's family and the
Administrator. LVN A said the police arrived while he was assessing CR #1 and CR #1 told the officer, Oh, I
tried to kill myself, but it was nothing big. LVN A said the officer asked CR #1 again if he wanted to kill
himself and CR #1 said yes. LVN A said he did not assign CR #1 a sitter the previous weekend when he
initially expressing suicidal ideations. He said RN D called CR #1's family (after the suicide attempt) who
said CR #1 had a history of suicidal ideations and had done this (attempted suicide) before. He said CR
#1's family never mentioned prior to him having the cord around his neck that he had a history of suicide
attempts. LVN A said after he was in-serviced (after CR #1's suicide attempt), he realized he should have
expedited the information about the suicidal ideations and referral to the DON or management to let them
know what was stated.
In a telephone interview with CR #1's NP on 06/01/2023 at 12:33 p.m., she stated she visited CR #1 on

on [DATE]. She said she was notified about CR #1's suicidal ideations on 05/21/2023 and when she saw
him on 05/22/2023, she asked him about the day before. She said she asked him if he still wanted to harm
himself and he said no, he just wanted to go home and did not want to be in the facility. The NP said she
documented in her notes that she put in an urgent request for psych services. The NP said the order was
urgent based on CR #1's history of depression. She said she was familiar with the facility's referral process
and the request had to be submitted to the SW then sent thru the referral portal. She said the process took
a little while, so it was urgent to be done timely. She said she knew the psych provider saw patients at the
facility on Mondays, so she knew CR #1 probably would not have been seen Monday, 05/22/2023. She said
she was not aware CR #1's discharging facility recommended he be evaluated by psych services. She said
had CR #1 exhibited behaviors, the facility staff could have notified psych for medication if needed. The NP
said she had no prior knowledge of CR #1's history of suicidal ideations. She said she saw CR #1 again on
05/24/2023 and staff notified her CR #1 had eloped. She said she was not notified of any other incident of
suicidal ideations. She said had staff notified her or the on-call doctor that CR #1 made a throat cutting
motion (on the morning of 05/27/2023), she would have sent him out to the hospital at that time.
In an interview with the SW on 06/01/2023 at 1:00 p.m., she stated, usually, the NP or doctor would write
an order and the nurse would print the order and give it to her. She said she sent an email to the psychiatric
provider and made the referral. The SW said the process usually only took one day and the provider came
on Mondays. She said she never received a referral or request for CR #1 to receive psych services. She
said she was on vacation 05/14/2023 - 05/24/2023. She said when she returned from vacation, she did not
see any request for CR #1 under her door. The SW said nobody ever asked her about any referral for CR
#1. She said the facility's nurses could do the referrals if she was not here. The SW said if the psych
provider was in the building and the nurses let them know someone needed to be seen, psych would have
evaluated CR #1 even without the referral. She said if the referral was already in their computer system,
they could have given it to him (psych) and he could have sent the referral to his (psych) office. The SW
provided a copy of CR #1's order for psych services from the computer system and said the order did not
say anything about urgency. She said she never saw a psych referral mention urgency. She said that
(06/01/2023) was the first time she saw CR #1's referral for psych services.
Observation of the facility on 06/01/2023 at 1:30 p.m. revealed the library was located in a room (not open
to the rest of the building) between the reception desk (front entrance) and the nurse's station. Further
observation revealed someone would have to pass the entrance to the library to see if anyone was inside
the library. There was a telephone with a cord on a small table next to a chair.
In a telephone interview with LVN C on 06/01/2023 at 1:22 p.m. revealed she usually worked the 2:00 p.m. 10:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. - 6:00 a.m. shift, but she rarely worked on weekends. She said one night (she
could not recall the date), she was about to pass medications and CR #1 thanked her for caring for him and
said he was leaving, but it was dark. LVN C said she asked CR #1 if his family was coming, but he said no,
he was leaving. She said she told CR #1 he was there for therapy and that was it, he went back to sleep.
LVN C said on another night (she could not recall the day), CR #1 said he was leaving, and she (LVN C)
called his RP (he was his own RP, but he did have an emergency contact), but she did not answer. LVN C
said earlier on that day, another staff told her CR #1 had gotten outside (eloped) so, that night CR #1 was
assigned a sitter (a facility housekeeper and maintenance staff). LVN C said to her knowledge, that was the
only night he had a sitter. LVN C said the night he made the cutting motion was the same night she called
CR #1's RP. She said they had to watch CR #1 because he would try to elope, and she noticed he went
towards one of the

would cut himself, and he said, If you think that's what I'm saying. LVN C said she told CR #1 if that was
what he was saying, she would have to call the police. LVN C said CR #1 told her he would go brush his
teeth. She said the Administrator said to go talk to CR #1 and ask if he was going to harm himself. LVN C
said CR #1 acted like he did not recall doing that (making the cutting motion) or anything that happened
that night. LVN C said CR #1 said he was going to bed. LVN C said she did not have the DON's phone
number at that time. LVN C said she did not call CR #1's doctor because, to be honest, it slipped her mind.
LVN C said she waiting to see if CR #1 would react or do anything else. She said now, she probably would
have called the doctor. She said she was not aware of any referral for psych services for CR #1.
In a telephone interview with RN D on 06/01/2023 at 1:34 p.m., she stated she was the weekend supervisor
and she only worked weekends. She said she interacted with CR #1 on weekends quite a bit. RN D said
CR #1 kept wanting to go home and tried to elope several times. RN D said she was never made aware of
CR #1's suicidal ideations the weekend before (05/21/2023) his suicide attempt and she worked 6:00 a.m. 10:00 p.m. RN D said she worked on the weekend the ST worked (05/21/2023) but she was never made
aware of CR #1 saying he wanted to die. RN D said CR #1 did not seem depressed and he had dementia
but was able to have a conversation and express his feelings. RN D said on 05/27/2023, CR #1 made his
usual attempts to elope and kept trying. She said eventually, she heard someone calling for a nurse to
check on CR #1 and she followed afterwards. RN D said when she got to the library, CR #1 was in there
sitting on a chair and LVN A was assessing him. She said she was not made aware that CR #1 had a
referral for psych services. RN D said on weekends, they contact the primary care doctor or NP for a
referral order and then they contact the provider they refer to. She said they could make a referral over the
phone and then fax it in. She said she had never done a referral over the weekend and unless it was an
emergency, they would wait until following week to do it. She said if the situation was emergent, she would
do the referral or send the resident out. She said if she felt there was an active plan for suicide, she would
notify the doctor and keep the resident on 1:1 monitoring until the doctor determined their next step.
In an interview with the DON on 06/01/2023 at 2:00 p.m., she said the Administrator called her on
05/26/2023 after CR #1 made the cutting motion across his throat. She said the Administrator told her
about CR #1 making the cutting motion, and she asked him if CR #1 had a plan and some other questions.
The DON said the Administrator said he would call the facility back to ask those questions and call back if
there was anything else. The DON said when the nurse went back in to talk to CR #1, he was no longer
expressing suicidal ideations. The DON said in hindsight, she probably should have called CR #1's doctor
just in case she wanted her to do anything different. The DON said she had in serviced the nurses on when
to communicate with physicians. The DON said she did not know if CR #1's referral was ever sent off to the
psych provider. She said the SW handled all referrals and she did not know who to contact about referrals
at their psych services provider. She said she believed the Administrator was handling referrals when the
SW went on vacation.
In a follow up telephone interview with the Administrator on 06/01/2023 at 2:25 p.m., he stated if the SW
was out, he would have done referrals but, he was never made aware of CR #1's order or referral. He said
CR #1's referral was never sent out.
In a telephone interview with the ST on 06/01/2023 at 2:31 p.m. She said CR #1 did not have suicidal
ideations. She said CR #1 told her his wife died at the facility 8-9 years prior and then he said, I guess I'm
going to die here too. The ST said it was not an ideation. She said she was working
