your immune system attacks healthy cells in your body by mistake, causing inflammation (painful swelling)
in the affected parts of the body), diabetes mellitus type 2 (group of diseases that result in too much sugar
in the blood (high blood glucose), and depression (a common and serious medical illness that negatively
affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act).

prior to leaving the room. Resident #17 said the CNAs told her they do not have time to answer her call light
every hour. Resident #17 said her call light is rarely in her reach because of her contractures. Resident #17
said the call light must be placed on left side for her to reach it. Resident #17 said she does press the call
light more than most when it was in reach because she had muscle spasms, and her limbs would start to
hang off the bed after a while and she needed

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Record review of Resident #17's care plan dated 05/24/2023 indicated Resident # 17 had contractures to
her bilateral upper extremities which increased her risk for skin breakdown, pain, and injury. The
intervention listed for the contracture care plan for Resident #17 was to assist with repositioning often, use
positioning devices to maintain proper body alignment and position bilateral upper extremities on pillows for
comfort.
Residents Affected - Few
During an observation on 07/10/2023 at 8:33 a.m., Resident #17 had bilateral upper extremity contractures
to shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, and fingers.
During an interview on 7/12/2023 at 2:43 p.m., the MDS Nurse stated that she was responsible for
completing MDS in the facility. She stated that she was aware that Resident #17 had contractures to her
upper extremities and the contractures should have been on the 05/23/2023 MDS. The MDS Nurse stated
accuracy of the MDS was important so the care plans would be correct.
During an interview on 07/12/2023 at 3:25 p.m., the DON said she expected the MDS to be accurately
coded. She stated that the MDS Nurse was responsible for the accuracy of the MDS. She stated that
residents could be placed at risk of not receiving the services they require with an inaccurate MDS.
Record review of CMS Manual provided by the facility as their guidance to MDS updated in October 2019.
Chapter 1: Resident Assessment Instrument shows that, Care Area Triggers are specific resident
responses for one or a combination of MDS elements. The triggers identify residents who have or at risk for
developing specific functional problems and require further assistance. Care Area Assessment is the
further investigation of triggered areas, to determine if the care area triggers require interventions and care
planning. The key to successfully using the resident assessment instrument is to understand that its
structure is designed to enhance resident care, increase a resident's active participation in care, and
promote the quality of a resident's life. The resident assessment has multiple regulatory requirements The
assessment accurately reflects the resident's status.

using barrier cream to the peri-wound as recommended by the wound care physician. LVN Q proceeded to
cleanse Resident #4's stage 4 pressure ulcer to her lower right buttock using the same piston syringe used
for the sacral wound and once again touched the tip of the piston syringe to the sides and base of the
buttock wound. LVN Q noted an area of skin bleeding around the buttock wound and wiped the blood with
the dilute sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) solution-soaked gauze prepared for packing the buttock wound. LVN
Q then cut out the area of dilute sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) solution-soaked gauze she wiped the blood
with and packed the stage 4 buttock wound with the remainder of the contaminated gauze. LVN Q did not
change her gloves before packing the wound and did not use barrier cream to the peri wound as ordered.
LVN Q proceeded with the treatments and painted all prescribed areas with betadine as ordered.
During an interview on 07/12/2023 at 11:50 a.m., LVN Q stated the proper technique to cleanse the stage 4
wounds to the sacrum and buttock would have been to spray wound cleanser to the wound and wipe them
out gently with gauze. LVN Q stated she did not think about using two separate pistons to irrigate the
wounds. LVN Q stated she should have changed gloves between cleaning the wound and applying a fresh
dressing and should have gotten another dilute sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) solution-soaked gauze when
she wiped the blood up with first one. LVN Q stated she was unaware the wound care doctor's
recommendations to apply barrier cream to the peri-wound. LVN Q stated barrier cream would protect the
wound edges from the dilute sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) solution. LVN Q stated the treatment nurse was
responsible for the reviewing the wound doctor's notes and transcribing them for them to end up on the
TAR. LVN Q stated improper wound care treatment of the pressure ulcer could hinder the healing process.
During an interview on 7/8/22 at 9:46 a.m., the DON stated, LVN Q should not have used a piston to irrigate
the stage 4 wound to Resident #4's sacrum or buttock. The DON stated LVN Q should have used wound
cleanser-soaked gauze and cleansed the wound in a center to outward motion. The DON stated she was
unaware the wound care doctor recommended barrier cream to the peri wound for the stage 4 pressure
ulcers, but she would call him for clarification. The DON stated changing gloves from dirty to clean was a
must to prevent infection. The DON stated using a soiled gauze to pack a wound even if you cut out the
soiled part was not acceptable practice for wound care.
At the time of the exit on 07/12/2023, the facility did not provide a policy and procedure for wound care.

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 to prevent accidents for one of five residents (Resident #38) reviewed for accidents and
hazards in that:
1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #38 did not elope after he was identified to be of high risk for
elopement. Resident #38 eloped on 06/09/23 through his window.
2. The facility failed to put alarms on all unit windows after the elopement as indicated in the PIR. 3 windows
were missing alarms. 2 of 3 windows had screws to keep them permanently closed.
3. The facility failed to establish a system to monitor alarms.
4. The facility failed to have sufficient staff to safely monitor residents on the secured unit.
These failures resulted in the identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 07/10/23 at 03:59 PM. While
the IJ was removed on 07/11/23 at 2:59 PM, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated
and a severity level of potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy due to the
facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
This deficient practice could place the residents at risk for harm, serious injury, or death.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #38's undated face sheet indicated he was a [AGE] year-old male, admitted to
the facility on [DATE]. He had diagnoses that included Alzheimer's disease (a progressive disease that
destroys memory and other important mental functions) and depression (a mental health disorder
characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment
in daily life).
Record review of Resident #38's admission MDS, dated [DATE], indicated he had a BIMS score of 05,
which indicated severe cognitive impairment. Resident #38 was independent in bed mobility and transfers.
He required supervision assistance for walking and locomotion on unit, dressing, toileting, eating, and
personal hygiene. He received antipsychotics, antidepressants, and anticoagulants 7 of 7 days of the
assessment window.
Record review of Resident #38's physician's orders, dated 07/11/23, indicated he had this order:
*Admit to secured unit related to wandering / elopement risk. The start date was 05/15/23.
Record review of Resident #38's care plan, with a review date of 06/09/23, indicated a focus of elopement
risk as evidenced by elopement on 06/09/23. The interventions included staff will monitor resident's location
frequently and to monitor and record behavior when it occurs.
Record review of Resident #38's progress notes, dated 06/09/23 through 06/30/23, indicated Resident #38
eloped on 06/09/23, and was later found 25-30 minutes later down the street. The progress notes

and was reapplied by facility staff.
Record review of Resident #38's elopement/wandering observation, dated 05/16/23, indicated he was a
high risk for wandering. The assessment further indicated that Resident #38 had a history of elopement,
exhibited wandering behavior, has shown exit seeking behavior, is likely to follow someone through a facility
exit, and resident was physically able to exit on foot or by wheelchair.
Record review of Resident #38's elopement/wandering observation, dated 06/09/23, indicated he was a
high risk for wandering. The assessment further indicated that Resident #38 had a history of elopement,

10:05 AM on 06/09/23.
Record review of the Provider Investigation Report, dated 06/15/23, indicated Resident #38 was noted
missing from the facility on 06/09/23 at approximately 9:30 AM. Facility staff searched the facility and were
unable to locate him internally. The facility expanded their search outside and Resident #38 was found at an
EZ Mart gas station down the street. The report indicated that the facility staff estimated Resident #38 was
out of the facility for an estimated 20-25 minutes. The PIR indicated the facility had taken action by placing
alarms on all occupied resident room windows.

During an interview on 07/10/23 at 11:18 AM, the Social Worker said she was in her office on the day
Resident #38 eloped when she noticed staff were looking for him so she went outside to help. She said she
was unable to find him in the facility so she jumped into her car to assist looking for him. She had looked
around the neighborhood and they had already found him when she came back to the facility. She said the
staff gave him water and assessed him. She said it was warm outside, and he had a sweater on. She said
he looked tired and hot. She said she did not talk to him directly. She said the Marketing, business office,
and medical records staff found Resident #38 and brought him back.
During an interview on 07/10/23 at 11:30AM, CNA G said she was the CNA that noticed Resident #38 was
not in his room. She said she was not assigned to the unit that day. She said she was weighing residents
around the facility that day. She said she was trying to go get Resident #38 to weigh him and was unable to
locate him in his room. She said she told the nurse Resident #38 was not in his room or in the unit. She
said she then left the unit to weigh another resident. After this she came back to the unit to assist the nurse
in finding Resident #38. She said her and the nurse looked around the unit and then notified the DON. Then
the facility staff searched the facility for Resident #38 and were unable to locate him. She said they
eventually found him near a busy roadway at a gas station about 0.8 miles away from the facility. She said
he was gone from the facility about an hour. She said when he returned he was wearing a sweater and he
was hot and sweaty. She said he eloped from the unit through the window in his room. She said this was
the first time that she recalls Resident #38 eloping from the facility. She said there was only typically one
staff member assigned to the unit. She said there was only a nurse assigned to the unit on the day
Resident #38 eloped. She said the Marketing Director brought Resident #38 back to the facility. She said
the facility put window alarms in place to keep the unit residents from eloping and Resident #38 likes to
take the alarms off the windows.
During an observation on 07/10/23 at 11:47AM, the Super Bingo and the EZ Mart were both located off of
N [NAME] Road, approximately 0.6 to 0.8 miles from the facility. The speed limit was 35 miles per hour. It
was a busy 4 lane street. The EZ mart was on the opposite side of the street and Resident #38 would have
crossed the street to reach the EZ mart.

stopped medication pass and searched for Resident #38. She said she could not find him in the dining area
and the MDS coordinator came to help. She said had not heard any alarms. She said her and the MDS
coordinator searched all over the unit. She said she noticed the screen in Resident #38's room window
appeared to be bent. She said she was unable to open the window. She then notified the DON and they
searched all over the facility. She said eventually other facility staff found Resident #38 offsite. She
assessed him and he was hot and sweaty. She said he was found first at the EZ Mart and then they finally
picked him up at the Super Bingo hall. She said she obtained his vitals and he had a sweat shirt on and
long pants. She said they got him some ice water because he was tired and sweaty. She said it was hot
outside. She said Resident #38 had no bruises or injuries. She said Resident #38 told the staff he wanted
to go walking. She said He has not eloped at this facility but he has eloped before at another facility before
he came to this one. She said they put alarms on the windows to ensure the residents do not escape
through the windows. She said she checks the windows at least once a shift, but she was not told by
administration how often she should check them. She said she works back in the unit by herself most of the
time. She said she has only had another staff member assigned with

Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 07/10/23 at 12:21PM, the Marketing Director said she went out front to help the
Social Worker look for Resident #38. After they searched the facility she and the Business Office Manager
jumped into her car to look for Resident #38. She said they found him at a bingo hall near a busy roadway.

stay closed. He said he put alarms on all windows in the unit and made sure the alarms on the unit doors
were functioning properly. He said he tries to check the window alarms in the unit at least 3 times a week.
He said he will also go check on them if he was notified by the CNAs in the unit. He said he did not keep
any log or documentation of him checking the alarms.

During an interview on 07/11/23 at 9:45AM, the DON said the facility does not have a policy that addresses
supervision of residents. She said they do not have a policy that addresses alarms or monitoring of alarms.
During an interview on 07/11/23 at 02:50PM, Resident #38's Responsible Party said she was not surprised
when the facility notified her that Resident #38 had eloped. She said he had eloped before he came to this
facility.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 1:12PM, the ADON said she did not work in this facility when Resident
#38 eloped. She said she started working in this facility on 06/20/23. The incident occurred on 06/09/23.
She said she was not aware of anyone being assigned to check the alarms routinely before surveyor
intervention this week. She said before surveyor intervention this week, they tried to have two staff
members assigned to the unit during the day, and only one staff nurse assigned from 10pm-6am. She said
she does not think one staff member assigned in the unit was enough staff to properly monitor all the unit
residents and keep them from eloping. She said the one staff member would not be able to get their work
done, or even leave the unit to go to the bathroom.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 02:01PM, the DON said after Resident #38 eloped they installed
window alarms on occupied rooms and the room next to him. She said they did not put a procedure in place
to monitor the alarms. She said the staff would report the alarms missing whenever they saw it. She said
they did in-services about the alarms. there were 1 -2 staff members assigned to the unit at times, there
was not a specific set schedule of how many people should have been back there at a time. She said she
did not have enough staff to assign more staff to the unit. She said there was an average of eight residents
back in the unit at a time. She said they did not increase staff immediately after the elopement. She said on
07/05/23 they increased staffing to 2 staff assigned to the unit all the time except for 10PM to 6AM. she
said they finally had enough staff then to be able to permanently assign more staff back in the unit. She
said she did not feel like one nurse would be able to adequately monitor the residents in the unit while
passing medications. She said the nurse that was assigned to the unit was primarily responsible for
ensuring the residents did not elope. She said it was ultimately all staff's responsibility to prevent residents
from eloping. She said there was risk to all residents if they eloped for serious injury, serious harm, or
death.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 2:20PM, the ADON said if a resident eloped like Resident #38 did there
was a potential for serious injury, serious harm, or death.
During an observation on 07/12/23 at 2:44PM, the Administrator said after Resident #38 eloped, they put
window alarms on all occupied rooms in the unit. He said they increased rounding and supervision of
Resident #38. He said they reported the elopement to the state, notified his family and the doctor. He said
the MD director was notified. He said the nurse took an assessment of Resident #38 and they gave him
water and made sure he did not suffer heat exhaustion. He said the Administrator, Maintenance and all
other staff were responsible for ensuring that the alarms were in place. He said that the Administrator and
the other management were constantly replacing window alarms in the unit. He said they did not document
that they were checking alarms. He said he was in the unit daily along with maintenance and other staff
assigned to the unit, and they were checking the alarms. He said there was no documentation that logged
the staff checking the alarms. He did not know without checking the schedule if there was only one staff
assigned to the unit at a time before 07/05/23. He said on 7/05/23 they changed the staffing to ensure that
2 staff members were assigned to the unit all the time except for 10pm to 6am. He said after surveyor
intervention on 07/10/23 the staffing was changed to ensure 2 staff were assigned to the unit at all times.
He said he expected one nurse to be able

She said her pain medicine was just now due and as soon as she was finished with another resident, she
will give her the next dose.
During an observation on 07/10/23 at 10:10 a.m., Resident #47 was in bed. LVN B was at bedside. The
resident's lips were quivering, and she appeared uncomfortable.
During an observation on 07/10/23 at 10:40 a.m., LVN B said the night nurse reported to her that Resident
#47 was administered a Tylenol #3 at 5:00 a.m. She said the Tylenol #3 was not charted on the medication
administration record. She said the Tylenol #3 was signed out on the narcotic sign out sheet by the previous
nurse. LVN B said she was in the dining room at 7:00 a.m. and did not know Resident #47 was still in pain.
She said that was why she had not given standing order for Tramadol.
During an interview 07/10/23 at 11:13 a.m., CNA A said she came into work at 6:00 a.m. She said she
reported to LVN B that Resident #47 was in pain and shaking at approximately 7:30 a.m. She said Resident
#47 had her good days and her bad days. She said on Resident #47's bad days she was hurting and
crying.
During an interview on 07/10/23 at 12:14 p.m., LVN B said she first saw Resident #47 while making her first
rounds. She said she saw the resident at approximately 6:30 a.m. She said the resident did not appear to
be in pain at that time. She said did not chart a follow up on the Tylenol 3 that was given at 5:00 a.m.
because it was not charted on the medication administration record. She said the CNA and the therapist did
come and tell her the resident was in pain, but she was not sure what time they told her. She said the
resident told her at 9:15 that she was having hip pain and rated the pain 10 out of 10. She said she was
given a one-time dose of Tramadol at 10:54 a.m.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 2:49 p.m., the DON said she would have expected the pain medication
that was given on 07/10/23 at 5:00 a.m. to have been marked on the medication administration record and
that would have triggered a follow up. She said she would have expected Resident #47's pain to have been
treated when it was reported to the nurse by the aide at approximately 7:30 a.m. She said pain not being
treated in a timely manner could cause the resident to continue to be in pain.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 3:15 p.m., the Administrator said he would have expected Resident
#47's pain to have been addressed timely. He said no one wants to be in pain and they were there to help

6.Review of Resident #17's undated electronic face sheet revealed that she was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses of rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune and inflammatory disease, which means that
your immune system attacks healthy cells in your body by mistake, causing inflammation (painful swelling)
in the affected parts of the body), diabetes mellitus type 2 (group of diseases that result in too much sugar
in the blood (high blood glucose), and depression (a common and serious medical illness that negatively
affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act).
Record review of Resident #17's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS with a score of
15, which indicated resident #17 had no cognitive deficit. The MDS also revealed, Resident #17, required
extensive assistance of one staff member for eating and no limited range of motion was noted on the MDS.
Record review of Resident #17's care plan dated 05/24/2023 indicated Resident # 17 had contractures to
her bilateral upper extremities which increased her risk for skin breakdown, pain, and injury. The
intervention listed for the contracture care plan for Resident #17 was to assist with repositioning often, use
positioning devices to maintain proper body alignment and position bilateral upper extremities on pillows for
comfort.
During an observation and interview on 07/10/2023 at 08:35 a.m., Resident # 17 had no call light in reach.
The touch pad call light was secured to the privacy curtain, approximately 3 feet from Resident #17's bed. A
sign was observed above the bed of Resident #17 that read: Ensure (Resident #17) had call light in hand
prior to leaving the room. Resident #17 said the CNAs told her they do not have time to answer her call light
every hour. Resident #17 said her call light is rarely in her reach because of her contractures. Resident #17
said the call light must be placed on left side for her to reach it. Resident #17 said she does press the call
light more than most when it was in reach because she had muscle spasms, and her limbs would start to
hang off the bed after a while and she needed to be repositioned or she would fall.
During an interview on 07/11/2023 at 3:36 p.m., CNA R said Resident #17 used a pad call light because
she was unable to move her hands well enough to use a regular call light. CNA R said Resident #17
mashed the call light more than most residents and the staff did not always have time to answer her light 5
and 6 times a shift. CNA R said she knew all call lights were to be in the residents reach at all times.
During an interview on 07/12/2023 at 3:30 p.m., the DON said she was responsible for staffing the building.
The DON said she was told by the Administrator to run 4 CNAs on days, 4 on evening shift, and 3 on night
shift. The DON said there had been some staffing challenges and they had in the past offered referral
bonuses and ran an ad on Indeed looking for CNAs. The DON said she and other department head staff
work the floor when there was no one to cover the shift. The DON said shifts had to be covered by
department head staff regularly. The DON was unaware the facility assessment indicated a ppd of 3.0 for
an average census of 54.
During an interview on 07/12/2023 at 3:45 p.m., the Administrator said the facility attempted to schedule no
less than 5 aides on days, 5 on evenings, and 3 on night shift. The Administrator said the
