Observation of Resident #26 on 08/26/2025 at 10:53 A.M. revealed his pleasant confusion and inability to participate in meaningful conversation. He was an unreliable historian during an attempted interview at this time. He did not make eye contact and was unable to follow simple directions during the attempted interview. On 08/26/25 at 11:00 A.M., a phone call was placed in an attempt to contact the primary contact person listed on Resident #26's face sheet for representative interview, an employee at Adult Protective Services (APS). The unnamed person who answered the phone stated that the primary contact listed on Resident #26's face sheet no longer worked at APS. A call was then placed to the APS hotline to confirm; spoke with a representative who confirmed resident #26's primary contact no longer worked for APS, and they had no active case for Resident #26 since a legal guardian was appointed in March 2023. A call was then placed to the Cuyahoga County Probate Court for additional information and confirmed Resident #26's legal guardian resigned, and the Probate Judge confirmed the resignation in July 2024. These court documents were uploaded into Resident #26's medical record. Interview with Social Worker #788 on 08/26/2025 at 2:40 P.M. revealed multiple people were responsible for making sure the medical record was correct. Social Worker #788 went on to say when she received updated information, she updated the record. She further confirmed that no one was responsible for Resident #26. She stated several people dropped ball regarding Resident #26. She was unaware who staff called for changes in Resident #26's condition, who authorized his money to be spent, or who represented him at his annual Medicaid redetermination. She also confirmed incorrect and outdated emergency contact information on Resident #26's face sheet and confirmed Resident #26's medical record contained direction for staff to refer to the legal guardian for direction about hospitalization and other medical interventions. An additional interview with Social Worker #788 on 08/26/2025 at 4:09 P.M. revealed the former business office manager uploaded documents to the medical record when the guardian resigned. Review of Social Worker #788's job description revealed the Social Worker is required to ensure medically related social services are provided to maintain or improve each resident's ability to control everyday mental and psychosocial needs (e.g., sense of identity, coping abilities, and sense of meaningfulness or purpose). The job description also stated the Social Worker is responsible to address the residents' need for legal services and to refer residents/families to appropriate social service agencies when the facility does not provide the services or needs of the resident. This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number 2588569.

STNA #176 stated no staff attempted to stop him from leaving and she did not know when he returned to the facility. There was no documentation that any additional residents had eloped from the facility since the previous annual survey dated 06/06/19. Two residents (Resident #13, Resident #44), who resided on the locked secured unit, were reviewed for elopement. Both residents were assessed for risk of elopement upon admission and quarterly since their admission to the facility. A plan of care was initiated to address their risk of elopement with individualized interventions implemented. The doors to the secured nursing unit were locked and a code was needed to enter and exit the nursing unit. Observations every one to two hours of Resident #61, Resident #13, and Resident #44 during the survey on 06/07/22 and 06/08/22 revealed no concerns with exit seeking behavior. Residents on the secured nursing unit were re- directed away from the doors when staff were entering and exiting the nursing unit. No concerns were observed pertinent to the allegations. A review of the facility investigation of the elopement was conducted on 06/06/22 to 06/07/22. Staff working at the time of the incident were interviewed and corroborated the information as indicated above. The facility interviewed Resident #61 upon his return to the facility and implemented an intervention to apply a Wanderguard to alert staff of attempts to exit the facility. Corrective actions were implemented immediately including re-training staff on the policy and procedure for elopement and discharge AMA. A review of the facility policy and procedure titled Elopement Prevention dated 07/08/16 indicated the facility would place residents at risk of elopement on the facility elopement prevention program. The procedure for prevention of elopement indicated all residents at risk of elopement would be assessed upon admission, quarterly and as needed by the interdisciplinary team. If the resident was deemed at risk for elopement, the staff should obtain a physician order for an intervention, contact the responsible party and implement the intervention. Residents with secured care bracelets (wanderguard) would be monitored each shift for placement and functions. The Elopement Information Form would be kept in a book at the reception desk and nursing station. Elopement drill would be conducted quarterly. Secure wanderguard doors would be checked daily. When a resident was missing a Code Brown message would be announced to alert staff of the missing resident. Staff should check the sign out sheet at the reception desk and musing station. An extensive search of the building would be conducted. If resident was not found, The Administrator/Designee and Director of Nursing would be notified within the first 15 minutes of the search. The Administrator/Designee would alert the supervisor if the need to implement a driving search within a mile of the area. The resident's family and police would be called by the Administrator/Designee no longer than 20 minutes after the resident was found missing from the facility. Upon return to the facility the family and all persons contacted including the physician would be notified of resident's safe return to the facility. When found the attending physician or licensed nurse would physically assess the resident and report negative findings to the physician. The resident's plan of care would be updated to review and revise interventions for the behavior. A review of the facility policy and procedure titled Discharge of Residents Against Medical Advice (AMA) dated 11/30/18 indicated the policy included for the facility to assist residents with adequate and effective discharge planning through an assessment of needs. Assessment of the resident's appropriateness to be discharged to a more independent setting was completed by the staff and facility's clinical team (physician, nursing, therapy staff and other appropriate disciplines). The facility acknowledges residents with capacity may elect to leave the facility AMA. Under these circumstances, the facility advised the resident of their right to leave the facility, explain possible negative outcomes and off the assist with referrals to appropriate community agencies to monitor the resident and provide services upon discharge. The procedure included upon notification of a resident's intent to leave the facility AMA, nursing, social worker, and other appropriate facility staff would discuss the risks associated with the decision. The risks should include safety concerns and medical risks. If a resident had impaired mental status or if they had a guardian who makes decisions for them, the resident cannot leave AMA on their own accord. The guardian must come to the facility and sign appropriate paperwork and pick up the resident. Discharge instructions would be provided to the resident/guardian via certified mail if the resident leaves before receiving the instructions. Obtain an order from the physician for the AMA. In every case of a resident leaving AMA, the facility shall evaluate the risk of imminent harm to the resident due to the resident's mental and physical condition and the environment outside the facility. In all cases, the facility would contact the resident's personal and/or legal representative to inform of the resident's departure AMA. If the resident is judged to be at risk for imminent harm and the resident departs the facility the police would be alerted along with Adult Protective Services. If the resident is not at risk for imminent harm the facility would contact Adult Protective Services. This deficiency substantiates Control Number OH 173
