LVN 1 stated she did not know whether providing Resident 1 with 1:1 monitoring for a longer period of time would have prevented Resident 1 from wandering into other residents' rooms. On 2/8/18, at 11:30 a.m., during an interview, the DON stated the interventions initiated after the fall on 1/22/18 were psychotropic medications, which were not beneficial for acute symptoms, and 1:1 monitoring, which were in place for only 12 hours.

The DON admitted the policy did not specify the criteria and assessments required for discontinuation of the 1:1 monitoring, but would be beneficial. On 3/28/18, at 1:34 p.m., during an interview, the DON stated fall risk assessments were completed quarterly and as needed, and after fall incidents. The DON stated and acknowledged the process was not in the policy, but was her expectation. The DON stated, had the fall risk assessment been reevaluated on 1/19/18, after the Klonopin had been adjusted, Resident 1's fall risk score would have been 11, making Resident 1 at high risk for potential falls. According to the DON's expectation and the status parameters and corresponding score criteria on the Fall Risk Assessment, the total score on 1/22/18 should have been 11 (ten points on Fall Risk Assessment for 1/9/18 plus one point for changes in medications dose [1/19/18]); she had no explanation for the discrepancy. A review of the policy titled, "Routine Resident Checks," revised July 2013, indicated staff shall make routine resident checks to help maintain resident safety and well-being. A review of the policy titled, "1:1 Resident Monitoring," Revised 2016, indicated the facility shall assess the resident for a need on 1:1 monitoring for residents' safety for himself and from others.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide social services to meet the resident's needs for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1) who was exhibiting a behavior of entering other resident's rooms. This deficient practice had a potential to result in the wandering of Resident 1 into Resident 2's room. Findings: On 2/8/18, an unannounced visit was made to the facility to investigate an entity-reported incident regarding quality of care. A review of the Face Sheet, dated 1/28/18, indicated Resident 1 was admitted on 12/30/15 and readmitted on 1/23/18, with the diagnoses including paranoid schizophrenia (chronic mental disorder in which a person loses touch with reality), unspecified lack of coordination, and unsteadiness on feet. A review of the Minimum Data Set, an assessment tool, dated 1/4/18, indicated Resident 1 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of nine, indicating moderately impaired cognition. Resident 1 did not exhibit behaviors of wandering or rejection of care. Resident 1 required supervision (oversight, encouragement or cuing) for ambulation.

Resident 1 was escorted out of the room and placed on 1:1 (one-on-one, one staff to one resident) monitoring. A review of the Social Work Progress notes, dated 1/19/18, indicated Resident 1 has been observed to be anxious and restlessness. A report was given to the Social Services Director (SSD) regarding an incident where she went into another resident's room and attempted to pull her hair. A licensed nurse called the psychiatrist and made medication changes. Klonopin (for panic disorder) was changed to 1 milligram (mg) 1 tablet twice a day (BID) from half tablet BID. Will observe and monitor resident for resident for any changes in mood and behavior. Will continue nonpharmacological interventions like providing redirection and reality orientation and providing activities that she likes, like coloring. On 2/8/18, at 10:15 a.m., Social Services (SS) was interviewed and stated Resident 1 had poor safety awareness, short attention span, needs redirecting, and has no understanding of her surroundings. SS stated her services only included the initiation of a psychology evaluation, which did not occur until 1/24/18. SS confirmed during the psychiatry evaluation, which occurred on 1/24/18, there was no mention of new symptoms of wandering into other resident's rooms. The SS does not know if the psychiatrist addressed the wandering into other resident's rooms or if there were any recommendations in that regard. SS stated the only interventions initiated for Resident 1 were 1:1 monitoring with verbal reminders and distraction (coloring and going out-on-pass). SS confirmed there is no documented evidence she followed-up on Resident 1's anxiety and restlessness nor the interventions initiated for FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: KKNW11 Facility ID: CA920000076 If continuation sheet 15 of 16 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

SS admitted she did not initiate care plans. On 2/8/18, at 11:16 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 was interviewed. LVN 1 admitted psychotropic medications take time to work and would not be beneficial for the change of condition occurring on 1/19/18, as it is an acute problem. A review of the Social Services Designees Job Description, dated May 2008, indicated the primary purpose of the social services position is planning, developing, organizing, implementing, evaluating and directing social services programs in accordance with the facility's established policies and procedures, to assure that the medically related emotional and social needs of the resident are met/maintained on an individual basis.
