Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure elopement interventions were in place for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#6) reviewed for elopement and failed to evaluate and supervise to promote a safe environment for 1 of 6 residents (#10) reviewed for resident to resident altercations. This failure resulted in Resident 10 to experience ongoing fear and anxiety and placed other residents at risk for elopement. 1. Resident 10 was admitted to the facility in 11/2017 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Resident 7 was admitted to the facility in 4/2019 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Resident 7 also resided in the MCC. Resident 7's wanderer care plan dated 4/16/19 with updates on 5/3/19 indicated Resident 7 wandered related to dementia. Interventions included distraction from wandering by offering pleasant diversions, structured activities, food and conversation and, to identify the resident's pattern of wandering to determine if the resident was looking for something or required more exercise. The behavioral care plan dated 7/19/19 with multiple updates through 10/24/19 indicated Resident 7 had a history of [REDACTED].

Resident 10's behavior care plan dated 6/1/18 indicated the resident exhibited verbal and physical aggression toward peers related to dementia. Interventions included staff intervention to protect the rights and safety of others and to monitor the resident's behavioral episodes, attempt to determine the underlying cause and consider the location, time of day, persons involved and situations. Resident 10's care plan did not indicate Resident 10 did not like other residents in her/his space, near her/his room or inside her/his room. There were no interventions on her/his care plan to indicate her/his door was to be closed or a stop sign was to be used to prevent others from going into her/his room.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to identify and assess residents for severe weight loss for 2 of 4 sampled residents (#s 32 and 24) reviewed for nutrition. This resulted in Resident 32 experiencing an unintended severe weight loss while on tube feeding and placed residents at risk for severe weight loss. Findings include: 1. Resident 32 was admitted to the facility in (YEAR) with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A Lab Report dated 6/14/18 indicated the resident's [MEDICATION NAME] (a protein) and total protein were low ([MEDICATION NAME] and total protein levels can be an indication of nutritional status). An RD assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident 32's Estimated nutrition need can be met. A Nutrition at Risk Review dated 7/5/18 failed to indicate the percentage of nutrition the resident received via feeding tube, the type of feeding tube nutrition provided or the amount. The assessment indicated the resident weighed 131 pounds on 7/4/18 (this was a 6.4% severe weight loss). The assessment identified a weight loss trend but failed to identify the severe weight loss, provide significant interventions to address the weight loss or provide a clinical rationale for the weight loss. A Nutrition at Risk Review dated 7/12/18 indicated Resident 32 weighed 134 pounds on 7/8/18 and the resident had some weight gain. The assessment failed to address the resident's overall weight loss trend and 4.3% weight loss since admission to the facility. A Nutrition at Risk progress note dated 7/19/18 indicated Resident 32's weight on 7/18/18 was 127 pounds (a 9.3% severe weight loss since admission to the facility) and the resident continued to lose weight. The plan included changing the resident's tube feeding formula from Glucerna 1.2 to 1.5 260 ml five times daily for added calories. The assessment failed to identify the severe weight loss or provide a clinical rationale for the weight loss. A Nutrition at Risk progress note dated 7/26/18 indicated Resident 32 weighed 128 pounds on 7/26/18 (an 8.6% severe weight loss since admission to the facility).

Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 2017 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A review of Resident 1's Advanced Directive signed by Resident 1 on [DATE] revealed no desires or instructions related to the implementation of CPR in the event the resident had no pulse and was not breathing.
