the head and right wrist. At 11:20 a.m., the
result of the right wrist x-ray came and
indicated an acute fracture of the distal radius
(broken wrist). The result for the head was
normal. At 2:45 p.m. the resident was
transferred to a general acute care hospital for
further evaluation.
A review of the Physician and Telephone
Order, dated 1/23/18, at 1:45 p.m., indicated to
readmit Resident 1 to the facility with previous
orders.
On 2/8/18, at 9:05 a.m., during an interview,
Resident 1 stated she did not remember the
circumstances surrounding her fall on 1/22/18.
On 2/8/18, at 9:20 a.m., during an interview,
Resident 2 stated in January (specific date
unknown), during the early morning, while she
was in her bed, Resident 1 was observed
coming into her room. Resident 2 pointed to
the right side of her bed and stated, Resident 1
"popped-a-squat" (urinating while in the
squatting [crouch or sit with one's knees bent
and one's heels close to or touching one's
buttocks or the back of one's thighs] position).
Resident 2 stated when Resident 1 got up from
squatting, she fell back. Resident 2 further
stated Resident 1 had urinated in her room
twice and had been in the room four times.
Resident 2 stated Resident 1 wandering into
her room was "annoying" and should not have
happened.
A review of the Face Sheet indicated Resident
2 was admitted, on 7/25/17, with diagnoses
including spondylosis (degeneration of the
spinal column) and unsteadiness on feet. A
review of the Minimum Data Set, an
assessment tool, dated 8/1/17, indicated
Resident 2 had a Brief Interview for Mental
Status score of 15, indicating intact cognition.

On 2/8/18, at 10:45 a.m., during an interview,
the DON stated Resident 1 had a change of
condition where she started wandering into
other residents' rooms. The DON stated a care
plan specific to wandering into other resident's
room, with resident specific interventions,
would have been appropriate and beneficial
and should have been initiated. The DON had
no explanation why the care plan for wandering
was not done.
On 2/8/18, at 11:16 a.m., during an interview,
Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) stated
Resident 1 would wander, but not into other
resident's rooms. LVN 1 stated on 1/19/18,
Resident 1 had a change of condition for the
incident occurring on 1/19/18. LVN 1 stated
Resident 1 was placed on 1:1 monitoring, an
intervention that did not require a physician's
order. LVN 1 stated Resident 1's psychiatrist
was notified and the resident started on
psychotropic medication. LVN 1 stated
psychotropic medications take time to work and
would not be beneficial for the change of
condition, as it was an acute problem. LVN 1
stated Resident 1 was taken off 1:1 monitoring,
a decision she made on her own, at 11 p.m.
that night on 1/19/18, because Resident 1 did
not exhibit further symptoms of wandering into
other residents' rooms. 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
stated she did not know whether placing

Resident 1 on 1:1 monitoring for a longer
duration after the incident on 1/19/18 would
have prevented Resident 1 from wandering into
other residents' rooms and the subsequent fall
on 1/22/18. 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.

§483.40(d) The facility must provide medicallyrelated social services to attain or maintain the
highest practicable physical, mental and
psychosocial well-being of each resident.
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.

1/19/18, indicated Resident 1 was seen by staff
going through another resident's belongings.
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
