1 findingBased on clinical record review, policy review, observations, review of facility documentation, and staff interviews it was determined that the facility failed to provide necessary supervision to monitor a resident's whereabouts and prevent an elopement (unauthorized departure from the facility) by one of seven sampled residents. This failure resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy situation. (Resident 1) Additionally, the facility failed to keep the environment free of accident hazards on one of three nursing units. (First Floor) Findings include: Review of the facility policy entitled, Elopement - Overview, last reviewed on March 13, 2024, revealed that each resident was to be assessed for elopement risk when admitted and develop individualized interventions and communicate to staff. Staff was to review and revise the Interdisciplinary Plan of Care as needed. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], after a stay in a psychiatric facility and had diagnoses that included a traumatic brain injury, difficulty walking, history of seizures (sudden uncontrolled body movements), psychosis (an abnormal condition of the mind with loss of contact with reality), and depressed mood. According to the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a periodic evaluation of resident care needs), dated May 15, 2024, the resident was cognitively impaired and required substantial assistance to walk. On May 9, 2024, a social worker noted that due to the resident's brain injury, he has a high risk for impulsive and unsafe behaviors and does not understand consequences. That same day, the facility assessed the resident's risk for elopement and determined that he was at risk. Despite the risk for elopement no additional safety measures were implemented. On June 9, 2024, a nurse noted that on the previous evening at 6:00 p.m., the resident left the facility and walked away at a fast pace. According to the facility investigation into the elopement, he was in front of the facility on the patio when he walked away. His whereabouts were unknown until a staff member on their break outside saw the resident. When found, the resident stated that he wanted to hurt himself and he was sent to the hospital for evaluation. On June 9, 2024, at 1:07 p.m., a nurse noted that he returned to the facility. No additional interventions were implemented to increase supervision at that time. On June 10, 2024, the care plan was updated to indicate that the resident enjoys sitting outside, however there was no documented intervention to indicate how staff would ensure that he did so safely. On June 20, 2024, at 7:00 p.m., a nurse noted that Resident 1 eloped from the facility and walked into town, later found at a coffee shop. Review of the facility investigation revealed that he was again on the front patio when he walked away from the facility unsupervised. His whereabouts were unknown from 6:42 p.m. until 7:15 p.m., when he was found approximately one mile away on the other side of a busy [NAME] street (North Main Street). While away from the facility unsupervised, the resident fell and sustained bruising to his right hip and was bleeding on his right hand. On July 1, 2024, at 4:20 p.m., the Administrator was notified that the failure to provide adequate supervision to prevent elopement constituted an Immediate Jeopardy situation at F689-J, and the Immediate Jeopardy template was provided. The facility was informed that a corrective action plan was required. The facility presented an acceptable action plan for removal of the Immediate Jeopardy on July 1, 2024, at 7:30 p.m. The facility's action plan contained the following: 1. The facility immediately audited all residents identified as an elopement risk to ensure proper interventions were in place. Audits were completed on July 1, 2024. 2. The facility audited residents' most recent elopement assessments to ensure residents identified as at risk for elopement had interventions included on their care plans. Audits were completed on July 1, 2024. 3. The facility educated licensed nursing staff on the elopement assessment scoring system and care planning interventions. Licensed nursing staff that were working on July 1, 2024, were immediately educated on the elopement assessment and scoring system. Other staff, including agency staff, will be re-educated prior to the start of their next shift. 80% of facility licensed nursing staff were re-educated on July 1, 2024. The remaining 20% of staff will be educated by July 5, 2024. 4. Staff in all other departments will be re-educated on the elopement policy and providing supervision to those residents identified as at risk for elopement. Facility staff that were working on July 1, 2024, were immediately educated on the elopement policy and providing supervision to those residents identified as at risk for elopement. Other staff, including agency staff, will be re-educated prior to the start of their next shift. 80% of facility non-licensed nursing staff will be re-educated on July 2, 2024. The remaining 20% of non-licensed staff will be educated by July 5, 2024. 5. Staff providing resident supervision will not be tasked with other responsibilities. 6. Activities department staff along with members of the interdisciplinary team will create a schedule for supervised Fresh Air Breaks for those residents requiring supervision. 7. Facility will audit newly admitted residents' and current residents' assessments (based on the MDS schedule) weekly for three weeks and then monthly for three months. All results will be reviewed and discussed during facility Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) meetings. 8. After the elopement on June 20, 2024, Resident 1 supervision was immediately increased to constant supervision by staff (1:1). 9. Resident 1 requested to be sent to the hospital for psychiatric evaluation on June 20, 2024, and was subsequently returned to the facility on [DATE], and remained on 1:1 supervision. 10. Resident 1 was evaluated by facility psychiatric practitioner on June 24, 2024, and his medications were adjusted. Resident 1 requested to be sent to hospital again for a psychiatric evaluation and signed voluntary commitment documents (Act 201). Resident was again transported to a psychiatric hospital. The survey team validated that the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on July 1, 2024, at 7:30 p.m., through observation, reviewing the facility training, and review of facility policies and procedures following the facility's implementation of the plan of removal of the Immediate Jeopardy. The deficient practice remained at a D (isolated with potential for more than minimal harm) scope and severity following the removal of the Immediate Jeopardy. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 3 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses that included depression and anxiety. Review of the nurses' notes revealed that on May 21, 2024, Resident 3 fell in the hallway outside his room while transferring into a wheelchair.
