Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident rights, that included measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that were identified in the comprehensive assessment for 1 of 6 residents, (Resident #1) reviewed for care plans. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's care plan reflected the resident's elopement risk and the use of a wanderguard. This failure could place the residents at risk of elopement and not receiving adequate care.
Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's facesheet reflected a [AGE] year-old female, with an admission date of 03/16/24. Resident #1 had a diagnosis of alcohol dependence with withdrawal (sleep change, rapid changes in mood, and fatigue), Psychoactive Substance Abuse (the abuse of drugs that affect how the brain works and causes change in mood, awareness, thoughts, feelings, and behavior), Muscle Spasm (sudden, involuntary contraction of a muscle), Cognitive Communication Deficit (difficulty with communication that is caused by impaired cognitive processes), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (constantly worries about everyday things), Diabetes (high blood sugar), Depression (serious mental health condition that can affect a person's thoughts, feelings, behavior, and sense of well-being), and Essential Hypertension (high blood pressure). Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 08/08/24, reflected Resident #1 had a BIMS score of 09, which indicated the resident had moderate cognitive impairment. Record review of Resident #1's Care Plan dated 11/19/24, did not address elopements or a Wanderguard. Resident #1's Elopement Risk assessment dated [DATE] reflected Resident #1 was not an elopement risk. Record review of Resident #1's Progress Notes dated 11/16/24, reflected the following: [Staff Member Name] came in making rounds to discover resident was not in room. [Staff Member Name] and manager searched each room on each hall in the building and outside parameter of facility and was unable locate resident. Code Pink was initiated.

RP called, [City] PD called. Police showed up around 6:30 AM to begin searching in and around building following protocol for missing persons. In an interview on 11/21/24 at 2:15 PM, RN C stated the DON was responsible for ensuring the care plans were completed and updated. He stated some residents had elopements listed on their care plans, but he stated he was not sure if Resident #1 had it listed on her care plan. He stated he did know Resident #1 was an elopement risk, because any resident with a wanderguard was an elopement risk. In an interview on 11/21/24 at 2:34 PM, the DON stated she started working at the facility at the very beginning of April 2024 and did not think she was present when Resident #1 attempted to elope on 04/17/24. She stated she was probably still in training for her position. The DON stated a care plan probably should have been completed, but she could not say why it was not completed to address elopement or the wanderguard. She stated again, she was not the DON at the time of the incident or when Resident #1 started wearing a wanderguard. The DON stated she could not say if there was a risk of not adding to the care plan, due to her not being the DON at the time. She stated she did want to speak ill of the previous staff, but she stated she would have updated the care plan to address the attempted elopement and the wander guard usage. The DON stated the previous DON should have ensured the care plan was updated to address the risk of elopement. In an interview on 11/21/24 at 3:09 PM, the Administrator stated she could not speak on the care plan but felt the elopement risk and wander guard could have been addressed on the care plan. The Administrator stated the nursing team was responsible for care plans regarding elopements. She stated the care plan was not a big concern, but more so if Resident #1 was appropriately placed. The Administrator stated she did not feel the care plan did anything, because it was just a piece of paper. The Administrator stated the care plan would not have stopped Resident #1 from eloping. Record review of the facility's policy titled, Care Plans Comprehensive, dated 2001, with a revision date of 09/2010, reflected the following: Policy Statement An individualized comprehensive care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs is developed for each resident. 1. Our facility's Care Planning/Interdisciplinary Team, in coordination with the resident, his/her family or representative, develops and maintains a comprehensive care plan for each resident that identifies the highest level of functioning the resident may be expected to attain. 2.

The facility failed to provide Resident #1 and Resident #2 with adequate supervision to prevent each from leaving the building on 11/04/24 around 12:55 AM, when staff were not aware of the elopement until after 6:00 AM, at the start of the next shift. 2. The facility failed to provide Resident #1 with adequate supervision to prevent Resident #1 from removing the Wanderguard and eloping the facility. The noncompliance was identified as past noncompliance. The Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 11/19/24 and was removed on 11/19/24. The facility corrected the noncompliance before the investigation began on 11/19/24. The Immediate Jeopardy occurred in the past and the facility had already corrected the non-compliance. These failures placed residents at risk for harm and serious injury.

Record review of Resident #2's Progress Notes dated 11/01/24, reflected the following: patient unknowingly left the facility sometime in the early morning. In an interview with the Administrator and the DON, on 11/19/24 at 9:40 AM, the Administrator stated Resident #1 returned on 11/04/24, but could not tell them where Resident #2 was. The Administrator stated Resident #1 stated she and Resident #2 were hanging out in the hood, doing drugs, and she last saw Resident #2 in a shack. The Administrator stated Resident #1 and Resident #2 were in a relationship, and she felt Resident #2 was able to encourage Resident #1 to elope. She stated Resident #1's family member contacted the facility and told them Resident #1 went to visit a family member in another facility. Resident #1's family member brought Resident #1 back to the facility. She stated Resident #1 had no injuries. The Administrator stated Resident #1's BIMS score was 09, when she first admitted to the facility, but the facility reassessed her upon her return on 11/04/24 and her BIMS score was now a 15. The Administrator stated she assumed maybe since Resident #1 no longer had drugs in her system her BIMS score increased. The Administrator stated Resident #1 discharged to a group home a couple of days after she returned to the facility. The Administrator stated Resident #2 was never located, but she stated she received a tip that he might be at a local hospital. The Administrator stated she was able to confirm that Resident #2 was at a local hospital and provided the location and room number. The Administrator stated the hospital would not share any additional information on Resident #2 since he was no longer at the nursing facility. She stated she would see if she could confirm if he was admitted to the hospital. The Administrator stated Resident #1 and Resident #2 were not elopement risks prior to the elopement. The DON stated she started working at the facility after Resident #1 admitted , and she was not sure why she initially needed the Wanderguard. The DON stated the residents were usually checked on throughout the night, but like the Administrator stated some residents do not like to be checked on at night or were kind of independent. The DON stated Resident #1 and Resident #2 could do a lot on their own. The DON stated the two residents were often in the hallway together, so they had been seen by staff after 9:00 PM. The DON stated incoming staff from each shift were tasked with checking the Wanderguard residents. In an interview on 11/19/24 at 10:46 AM, PD Detective stated the police station received the call about the elopement on 11/01/24 around 6:030 AM or 7:00 AM that morning.

She stated Resident #1 did have some issues with ambulating when she first admitted , but shortly afterward she began to ambulate. She stated she believed that was the reason she was given a Wanderguard. She stated the Wanderguard residents are checked at the beginning of every shift. She stated both Resident #1 and Resident #2 were both very independent and were able to do a lot of tasks on their own. The Administrator stated both residents would be seen around the facility together and were known to be in a relationship. She stated it was normal to see them around the facility together. She stated generally, residents were checked on every 2 hours, but Resident #2 was very independent and did not want to be checked on throughout the night.
