The resident had his Wanderguard bracelet on. The door was stuck on the rug, and it held the door open. Even with the door being open, the Wanderguard would have set the alarm off. The staff were all interviewed, and no one heard the alarm. The administration looked at the video and Environmental Service 2 was seen adjusting the rug and her hand did something to the keypad about a minute after the resident exited the building. When she was interviewed, she indicated there had been no alarm activated and she touched the keypad out of habit. During an interview on 6/3/24 at 10:21 a.m., the Maintenance Director indicated the Wanderguard alarm systems were checked with a bracelet every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The alarms were functioning on 5/24/24. During an investigation after the incident, they had found the annunciator (panel with warning lights/alarms) in the Assisted Living Nurses' Station (Nurses' Station closest to the front door) had not been wired to the front the door. The door alarm itself still worked, and could be heard in the healthcare area. He was unsure how long the annunciator piece had not been working, as the door alarm had not been wired to it. The Maintenance Director then activated the door alarm with a Wanderguard bracelet, and the alarm could be heard in the Healthcare area. LPN 4, LPN 5, and RN 6 were at the Eagle Nurses' Station, and all indicated they were able to hear the front door alarm when it was activated. During an interview on 6/3/24 at 11:23 a.m., Environmental Services 2 indicated she could not remember if the front door alarm was activated or if she just responded because the door was left open. She indicated the door had been caught on the rug. She had not gone outside to look around, though she did look out the door and had not seen anyone. She moved the rug and shut the door. She indicated if the alarm had been sounding, she would have reset the alarm on the keypad and did not remember doing that. She indicated she only remembered the door being wide open because it was caught on the rug. She indicated the alarm was activated often with residents going on the bus or out with family, and no one had educated her on what she was supposed to do if the alarm was activated. During an interview on 6/3/24 at 12:35 p.m., LPN 1 indicated she had started work at 6:00 p.m. and received in report Resident M had been wandering, agitated, and exit-seeking. He was sitting on the couch near the [NAME] Nurses' Station, which is by the back (skilled unit) entry door. LPN 1 heard the Wanderguard beeping then, because he was sitting close to the door. The PRN Xanax was administered due to his anxiety, then LPN 1 left the nursing station area to administer medications to a few other residents. When she returned, the resident was no longer sitting at the Nurses' Station. LPN 1 went to the Dining Room because Resident M did like to sit at his table there, and he was not there. LPN 1 asked RN 7 if she had seen him, and RN 7 had not seen him. When LPN 1 arrived at the front door area, she saw a police officer talking to CNA 8. The police officer informed her a citizen saw the resident stumble while he was walking and called 911. The ambulance responded and would be bringing the resident back to the facility. LPN 1 indicated she had not heard the alarm ring. During an interview on 6/3/24 at 12:52 p.m., RN 7 indicated she worked 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. on 5/25/24 on the Eagle and [NAME] Units. She last saw the resident around 4 p.m. She had not heard the Wanderguard alarm ringing. The Wanderguard was in place and was functional when he was brought back to the facility. During an interview on 6/3/24 at 12:57 p.m., CNA 8 indicated 5/25/24 was his first day of orientation and he was assigned to the Eagle Unit. He was exiting the front door to go on break when the police officer came in and asked him if the resident resided at the facility. CNA 8 indicated he was just learning the residents and was unsure, then LPN 1 arrived and spoke with the officer. During an interview on 6/4/24 at 8:57 a.m., the Administrator indicated the observation of the video from the facility camera indicated the alarm had been sounding. They were able to see Environmental Services 2 putting the code in on the keyboard. She had thought the alarm was activated by the door being held open by the rug. The employee was observed looking out the door, but not going outside to look around. A facility policy for elopement/missing resident, dated 12/31/23 and identified as current by the ADON, indicated when a door alarm was sounding, the staff were to respond promptly to the sounding door alarm. The charge nurse, facility supervisor or Executive Director should call staff to a central area and designate staff to perform a head count, have two staff exit the alarming door and go in opposite directions around the building perimeter, one staff was to review the sign out log and 24 hours nurse report, one or more staff were to search the facility, and if necessary, one or more staff were to expand the search to the facility premises. If the resident was not found on the property, the local police department, physician and responsible party was to be notified. A facility policy titled, Alarm Checks, dated 12/31/23 and received from the Area Executive Director as current, indicated the door alarms were to be checked by the Director of Plan Operations or designee daily during the typical business days. The Administrator was to be notified immediately if the alarms were non-functioning. The individual alarms were to be checked daily for functioning and every shift for placement. The past noncompliance immediate jeopardy began on 5/25/24. The immediate jeopardy was removed, and the deficient practice corrected by 5/26/24 after the facility implemented a systemic plan that included the following actions: - The rug in the vestibule was removed. - All residents in the facility were reviewed for elopement risk. - The residents who were assessed as an elopement risk have Wanderguard bracelets initiated. - All Physician's Orders for the bracelets and checking for functioning and placement were reviewed and were up to date. - All exit doors have been evaluated to ensure the Wanderguard is functioning. - Elopement binders have been updated - As of 5/26/24, 93 of 122 employees have been educated on the elopement/missing resident policy and all remaining staff will be educated upon their return to work. - An elopement drill was completed without concerns.
