Based on observations, staff interviews, record review, and review of the facility policy titled, Incontinence, the facility failed to provide timely and appropriate incontinence care for one of four residents (R) (R7) reviewed for incontinence care. The deficient practice had the potential to promote infection. Findings include: Review of the facility policy titled, Incontinence, dated 1/1/2019 documented: Policy Explanation and Compliance Guidelines: .4. Residents that are incontinent of bladder or bowel will receive appropriate treatment to prevent infections. Review of R7's clinical record revealed diagnoses including nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, dysphasia following cerebrovascular disease, tracheostomy status, and stage four sacral pressure ulcer. Review of R7's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documented the resident's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score could not be completed; the resident was rarely/never understood, had short and long - term memory problems, and had severely impaired decision-making skills. The resident required total assistance of two people for bed mobility and total assistance of one person for toileting. The MDS documented the resident was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. Review of R7's care plan, dated 7/19/2023, for Activities of Daily Living (ADL) documented the resident did not use the restroom and was totally dependent on one to two staff for toilet use, peri care, and changing her brief. Observation of R7 during pressure ulcer (PU) care, on 10/12/2023, which began at 11:14 am, revealed the resident was having a bowel movement. The Wound Care Nurse (WCN) and Consultant Wound Nurse (CWN) provided PU care to the sacral wound without first removing the stool from R7's peri area (genital area). At the end of the PU treatment, the WCN asked the CWN to ask the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) to come to the room because She is having a BM [bowel movement], and I don't want it to get on the dressing. A CNA did not immediately come, so the WCN took part of the incontinence pad that was not under the resident and wiped off some of the stool and then rolled up that part of the incontinence pad and placed it under the resident. The WCN covered up the resident, gathered her supplies, and left the room. The WCN and the CWN came back to the room at 11:33 am and said they were going to clean the resident up. The WCN and CWN turned R7 to her right side, then used wet wipes to clean the left buttock where there was stool, and between the buttocks. The staff then placed a new incontinence brief on R7 without providing any frontal incontinence care. Interview on 10/12/2023 at 11:39 am with the WCN, she stated the staff would provide frontal incontinence care when they provided peri care, and she did not provide frontal care because the resident Just had a bowel movement. Interview on 10/13/2023 at 10:55 am with the Director of Nursing (DON), she stated the staff should provide incontinence care by cleaning front to back, and if the resident had stool present, the staff should also provide frontal care.

F490J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on family and staff interviews, record review and review of the facility's Policy and Procedure for Elopement, it was determined the facility failed to be administered in a manner to investigate an Elopement of one resident (R#1) as to the cause and to prevent the likelyhood of elopement for the additional ten (10) at risk residents (R#2, R#3, R#4, R#5, R#6, R#7, R#8, R#9, R#10, and R#11) of a total of eleven residents with wandering behaviors and wearing a Wanderguard bracelet. The facility's Interim Administrator, Director of Regulatory Compliance, and the Interim Director of Nursing (DON) were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 3/6/2017 at 2:00 p.m. The non-compliance related to the Immediate Jeopardy was identified to have existed on 9/28/2016, the date a resident (R#1) wearing a Wanderguard, was found in the parking lot by staff on the 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. shift followed on 10/1/2017 when the resident eloped through the front door of the facility and fell on the main road (Anderson Mill Road) sustaining a hematoma to the back of her head. The noncompliance related to the Immediate Jeopardy continued through 3/7/2017 and was removed on 3/8/2017.

The facility remained out of compliance at a lower scope and severity of D while the facility continued management level staff oversight of residents with Wanderguards to prevent any future elopements from the facility. The oversight process included the analysis of facility staffs' conformance with the facility's Policy and Procedures governing Wanderguards and Elopement. In-service materials and records were reviewed. Observation and interviews were conducted with staff to ensure they demonstrated knowledge of the facility's Policies and Procedure for Wanderguards and Elopement. Resident records were reviewed to ensure that resident assessments for elopement were completed, that Physician Orders were current and accurate and that care plans were updated for resident with wandering behaviors. Findings include: During a telephone interview with a family member of R#1 on 2/20/2017 at 5:00 p.m., the family member revealed that R#1 had eloped from the facility on 10/1/2016 and had fallen in the main road (Anderson Mill Road).
