She indicated it was the family who decided to transfer the resident to the hospital. During an interview on 7/24/25 at 8:56 a.m., the DON indicated the elopement assessment was to be done on admission and if the staff saw signs of a risk for elopement. There was no care plan or interventions put into place for the resident when she had signs of being an elopement risk. It was the responsibility of the nurse to do the assessment and put interventions in place until Social Service evaluated the resident. A facility elopement policy, dated 2/12/24 and received from the Administrator as current, indicated it was the intent of the facility to be aware of the residents' locations as reasonably practicable. The Immediate Jeopardy that began on 6/24/25 was removed on 7/23/25 when the facility inserviced 172 out of 179 staff members on the facility resident at risk for elopement, elopement, and missing resident policy and procedures. Staff were interviewed and indicated residents who exhibited signs of possible elopement would be reported to the Charge Nurse, DON, and Administrator. Care Plans would be implemented and interventions followed. If a resident was unable to be found, a code pink would be called and an immediate search of the building would be completed. The Administrator would be immediately notified. The Wanderguard bracelets were to be checked every shift for placement. Residents' behaviors would be reviewed by the interdisciplinary team to ensure residents at risk for elopement had appropriate interventions in place and the care plan would be revised. The non-compliance remained at a lower scope and severity level of isolated, no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy. The facility will continue to inservice all new staff and all staff who have not been educated prior to their next working day. An audit was initiated for all residents in the facility and elopement risk assessments were updated. All residents who were identified as a risk were reassessed by social service and the care plan interventions were reviewed and revised if needed. The Maintenance Director checked all exit doors for proper functioning. An Elopement Drill was completed and will be completed on alternate shifts. The Social Service Director was provided education to ensure all behaviors are reviewed and appropriate interventions were in place. 2.

A Change of Condition Summary, dated 7/18/25 at 11:58 a.m., indicated the resident had fallen, vital signs were obtained. There were no changes in mental status and the Nurse Practitioner was notified. There were no neurological assessments completed after the fall. There were no post fall follow-up assessments documented. During an interview on 7/23/25 at 8:56 a.m., the DON indicated the nurse had documented the fall in the electronic record on a change of status form instead of a fall event, so it had not transferred over to the report sheet. There were no neurological assessments completed and there was no documentation about the fall, the location or the cause of the fall. There were no witnesses to the fall so neurological assessments should have been completed. A facility policy for fall management, dated 1/13/25 and received form the Corporate Regional RN as current, indicated a post-fall assessment was to be completed, which included vital signs, neurological assessment for all unwitnessed falls and if the resident hit their head. The post fall documentation was to include the circumstances and location of the fall, range of motion status, injuries observed, vital signs, neurological status, and post-fall interventions. A post-fall assessment was to be completed on each shift for 72 hours and documented in the medical record. This citation relates to Complaint 1811008. 3.1-45(a)(2)

F323J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on record review, observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure interventions were in place for a resident who was observed with her head positioned over the gap between the mattress and side rail with her feet on the floor and failed to assess the resident's need for side rails after the observation, resulting in the resident subsequently having an incident with her head getting wedged between the mattress and the side rail and her feet out of the bed and on the floor, for 1 of 2 residents reviewed who had an air mattress and side rails in a sample of 8. (Resident #E) In addition to the resident in immediate jeopardy, the facility failed to assess the need for side rails after a different resident was found with his face on the side rail for 1 or 3 residents reviewed with half side rails and an air mattress in a supplemental sample of 3. (Resident #M) The immediate jeopardy began on 10/06/11 when Resident #E was observed with her head over the gap between the mattress and the side rail and with her feet out of the bed and on the floor, and no interventions were put into place for resident's safety. The Executive Director and Director of Nursing were notified of the immediate jeopardy at 2:35 p.m. on 10/25/11.

The head of the resident's bed was elevated and two half side rails, which were padded, were in the upright position. The record for Resident #M was reviewed on 10/25/11 at 4:40 p.m. The resident's [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. An entry in the Nursing Progress Notes dated 9/25/11 at 12:00 a.m., indicated the resident was observed lying on his right side with his face on the side rail.

Documentation in the Nursing Progress Notes dated 10/21/11 at 3:30 a.m., indicated the resident was turned sideways in bed with the pad alarm under his back and the left abdominal area was under the side rail. The resident was repositioned in bed and three skin tears were observed to the lower left abdomen. There was no incident/accident investigation summary related to the resident's face against the side rail on 9/25/11. The incident/accident investigation summary dated 10/3/11, related to the skin tear to the left forearm, indicated the resident's side rails would be padded. A Side Rail Evaluation dated 9/24/11, indicated the resident had 1/2 side rails to the left and right side of his bed, and the side rails were being used as an enabler to promote independence. The next Side Rail Evaluation was dated 10/25/11, which indicated the resident's side rails were not indicated at this time and would be removed. Interview with the Director of Nursing on 10/26/11 at 10:35 a.m., indicated the resident should have been re-assessed for the need of the side rails after the incident on 9/25/11. She further indicated an incident/accident investigation summary had not been completed for the incident on 9/25/11. The immediate jeopardy that began on 10/6/11 was removed on 10/26/11 when the facility had completed side rail assessments on all residents, side rails were removed for residents who did not demonstrate mental and physical capabilities to utilize the side rails, and staff was educated on no side rails were to be placed on residents' beds without the Administrators or Director of Nursing approval, re-educated on the abuse and reporting of unusual occurrences and side rail safety, and nurses were re-educated on the policy for reporting unusual occurrences to the Administration immediately twenty four hours a day regardless of the time of day. The clinical team will be reviewing all residents with side rails on their beds weekly for four weeks and share the list with the facility QA (Quality Assurance) team. The QA team will monitor side rail use during daily QA rounds to assure no side rails are placed without proper assessment and review their findings with the QA team for six months. To assure the education on abuse, reporting, and unusual occurrences was successful, random interviews will be conducted. The random interviews will be submitted to the quality assurance committee. Noncompliance remained at the lower scope and severity level of isolated, no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy, because of the need for continued reviewing and monitoring of side rail use.
