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 provide adequate supervision to prevent
accidents for 2 (Resident #1 and Resident #2) of 7 residents reviewed for accidents hazards/supervision in
that:
-Resident #1 who resided in the Memory Care Unit was let out of the facility by CNA A on 2/16/24 at 6:45
pm and located by the Resident Representative around 8:30 pm on the corner of a major high traffic street
corridor approximately ½ mile away.
-The facility failed to prevent Resident #2 in Memory Care Unit from ingesting shampoo on 5/17/24 which
resulted in emergency treatment services at the local hospital.
An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 06/21/24 at 3:49 pm. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on
06/23/24 at 12:54 pm; however, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of pattern and a severity
level of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy due to the
facility's need to complete in-service training and evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
This failure could place residents at risk of serious injuries or death due to lack of supervision.
Findings included:
1.Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 6/20/24 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted on
[DATE]. His diagnoses included dementia, abnormalities of gait and mobility, lack of coordination,

disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant
impairment in daily life), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), insomnia, allergic rhinitis (an allergic
response causing itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, and other similar symptoms), and chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe).
Record review of Resident #1's comprehensive MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 3 indicating a
severe cognitive impairment. The MDS documented he had no potential indicators of psychosis, behaviors
affecting others, or rejection of care. Per the MDS, Resident #1 had a wandering frequency which occurred
1 to 3 days.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan dated 6/4/2024 revealed a focus on at risk for difficulty in
psychosocial adjustment related to admission to facility including interventions introducing self-introduction
upon each visit with resident, introduce to others who may have similar interests, notify physician as
needed, observe for signs and symptoms of difficulties in psychosocial adjustment; a focus on exit seeking
behavior related to dementia with interventions staff educated on resident and visitor identification prior to
exiting unit, wander guard placed in veteran's trumpet bag, attempt diversional activities as needed, check
