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 the environment was as free of
accident hazards as is possible and each resident receives adequate supervision to prevent accidents for 1
of 1 resident (Resident #1) reviewed for accidents and hazards, in that:
Resident #1 was able to leave the front porch of the facility on 09/09/2024 without staff's knowledge and go
to a grocery store 1.7 miles away, then became confused when leaving the grocery store as to where he
resided. Resident was found at the homeless shelter where he had previously lived. Resident #1 had a
cognitive decline and that although staff were concerned about letting the resident sit out on the front
porch, they continued to do so prior to his elopement.
An IJ was identified on 02/27/2025. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 2:12 PM. While
the IJ was removed on 02/28/2024, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated and a
severity level of no actual harm with the potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate
jeopardy because the facility needed to evaluate the effectiveness of their corrective actions.
This failure could place residents at risk of accidents that could result in serious injury, harm, impairment, or
death.
Findings were:
Record review of Resident #1's admission record, dated 02/25/2025, reflected a [AGE] year-old resident
with an admission date of 07/15/2024, and diagnoses of unspecified dementia, moderate, without
behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance (a mental health condition characterized by a loss of contact
with reality), mood disturbance, and anxiety, alcohol abuse, uncomplicated, hypertensive crisis (severely
elevated blood pressure), unspecified, unspecified dementia, unspecified, severity, without behavioral
disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety, essential (primary) hypertension (high
blood pressure that develops gradually over time and has no clear cause), disorientation, unspecified.
Resident #1's Quarterly MDS assessment with a completion date of 09/02/2024 reflected a male with a
BIMS of 08, which indicated moderate cognitive impairment, and had exhibited behaviors of wandering type
occurred daily. Further review of Resident #1's MDS reflected he required supervision or touch assistance
with mobility.
