This survey cited 4 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to consult with the resident's physician and representative when there was a significant change in the resident's physical, mental, or psychosocial status (that is, a deterioration in health, mental, or psychosocial status in either life-threatening conditions or clinical complications) for 1 of 18 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for resident rights. The facility failed to notify Resident #1's physician and representative when the resident was missing on 5/10/25. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving adequate and timely intervention and a decline in condition. The findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 5/28/25 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] and discharged on 5/10/25 with diagnoses that included unspecified dementia unspecified severity (general term used to describe a decline in cognitive function that is severe enough to interfere with daily life and activities)-without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety. Record review of Resident #1's MDS discharge assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was severely cognitively impaired for daily decision-making skills and was independent with mobility. Record review of Resident #1's baseline care plan, undated, was blank. Record review of Resident #1's physician's telephone orders, dated 5/8/25 revealed no order for close monitoring of the resident and included the following: - Admit to respite for 5-day period from 5/8/25-5/13/25 Record review of Resident #1's electronic record with the following progress note dated 5/10/25, time stamped 4:18 p.m., and authored by the Administrator revealed: Resident (#1) has been observed with increased wandering throughout the facility.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few there was no documentation that indicated the resident's representative was notified of the resident's wandering behaviors or that the resident had gone missing. During an interview on 5/28/25 at 1:29 p.m., the ADON stated he was notified by RN F Resident #1 was missing and the ADON in turn notified the Administrator on 5/10/25. The ADON stated since the resident was treated by hospice, the hospice staff would have been notified. The ADON stated at the time of the event the Administrator was already in the building and believed the Administrator made notification to the RN Corporate Nurse. During an interview on 5/28/25 at 1:49 p.m., the Administrator stated she had received notification from the ADON on 5/10/25 about Resident #1 missing from the facility. The Administrator stated she was about 4 or 5 minutes away but could not remember the exact time. The Administrator stated she notified the hospice company regarding Resident #1's exit seeking behaviors and to my understanding he (Resident #1) went out the front door and told them (the hospice company) we were not equipped to care for Resident #1 and the family came and picked him up. The Administrator stated, I believe I informed Resident #1's representative that the resident was gone and stated she had inform the hospice company. The Administrator stated she did not report the incident to the physician. The Administrator stated, when Resident #1 went missing it was not considered a true elopement because the resident was still on campus and was gone for no more than 4 minutes. During an interview on 5/28/25 at 2:17 p.m., RN F stated she was informed by CNA C on 5/10/25 that Resident #1 was missing, and RN F and the staff began to search for the resident. RN F stated, when Resident #1 was found she assessed the resident for injuries and obtained the resident's vital signs. RN F stated during this time the Administrator and the ADON were already in the building and then RN F stated, once the managers (Administrator and ADON) came in, they took over and I then went back to attend to my hall. I was pretty much told to go back to my unit. RN F further stated, she believed the hospice company was notified regarding Resident #1 missing and believed the ADON was going to notify the doctor and the representative. RN F stated, basically, I was told I was a floor nurse and to attend to my patients by the Administrator, and the ADON and she (the Administrator) would take care of the rest. During a telephone interview on 5/28/25 at 5:33 p.m., Resident #1's family representative stated she received notification on 5/10/25 about Resident #1 trying to leave the facility. Resident #1's family representative stated, I believe I was told about him (Resident #1) trying to leave the building. It was not the facility; it was the hospice company that called or texted me and told me he (Resident #1) tried to leave the building. During an interview on 5/29/25 at 11:32 a.m., LVN H stated in the case of a missing resident/elopement, there was supposed to be notification to the Administrator, DON, ADON, the physician and family representative. LVN H further stated, even if a resident was in the facility under hospice services, the resident was cared for by facility staff daily and the hospice staff was not always in the facility. During a follow-up interview on 5/29/25 at 2:31 p.m., the ADON stated, Resident #1's hospice staff was notified on 5/10/25 when the resident was reported missing. The ADON further stated he did not know if the resident's representative or the physician were notified. The ADON stated, the Administrator took over doing the notification part.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few hospice company on 5/10/25 to report Resident #1 was exit seeking and stated the hospice staff would contact Resident #1's representative directly. The Administrator stated, typically she would notify the family in any case, but since hospice was notified, hospice did it for them. The Administrator stated, we should have notified the doctor, but did not. The Administrator stated, the resident's representative, the doctor, and hospice should have been notified by the facility, but the event created chaos and at that moment, and Resident #1 was the priority.

F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few the residents' admission and should include medical diagnoses, clinical information received based on past history and any specifics about the resident's care and how they take their medications. During an interview on 5/30/25 at 9:31 a.m., the MDS Coordinator stated the baseline care plan would be completed within 72 hours but should start on admission. The MDS Coordinator stated the baseline care plan was supposed to have a minimized assessment of the resident's basic needs such as mobility status, incontinence, skin issues, and all of your assessments. The MDS Coordinator stated Resident #1's baseline care plan was incomplete and should have been generated at the time of his admission. The MDS Coordinator stated, the assessment did not give a whole picture of Resident #1, and that did not help when trying to develop a comprehensive care plan and the MDS assessment. During an interview on 5/30/25 at 9:59 a.m., RN P stated she had initiated the admission assessment for Resident #1 when he admitted on [DATE]. RN P stated the admission assessment did not automatically generate a baseline care plan. RN P stated she did not know anything about a baseline care plan and stated the MDS Coordinator does those. RN P stated she was not involved in the process in the development of a comprehensive care plan, we just do the documentation. During an interview on 5/30/25 at 12:54 p.m., the ADON stated he was unsure of when a baseline care plan needed to be developed or the time frame for completion. The ADON stated the care plan was important because it identified behaviors, how to assist them (residents) with care, and how to attend to their needs. During an interview on 5/30/25 at 3:07 p.m., the RN Corporate Nurse stated the admission assessment done during a resident's admission into the facility would trigger, sometimes depending on how the questions were answered by the nurse. The RN Corporate Nurse stated, as an example, if a box was checked on the admission assessment for a resident who utilized an indwelling urinary catheter, the assessment would trigger and generate suggestions at the end of the assessment and would push it to the care plan. The RN Corporate Nurse stated, she believed the baseline care plan, per regulation, had to be completed within 48 hours and the information from the moment you meet the resident, your assessment is for building the care plan. The RN Corporate Nurse stated the care plan was used to assist the staff in knowing how to care for a resident. Record review of the facility document titled, Charting and Documentation with review date December 2024 revealed in part, .All services provided to the resident, progress toward the care plan goals, or any changes in the resident's medical, physical, functional, or psychosocial condition, shall be documented in the resident's medical record.
