F689J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on observations, interviews, facility document review, and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff provided supervision for 1 (Resident #66) of 1 sampled resident reviewed for elopement. The lack of supervision resulted in Resident #66 eloping from the facility and facility staff being unaware of the whereabouts of the resident for approximately three hours and twenty minutes. Resident #66 was found inside an event center approximately 900 feet from the facility. It was determined the facility's non-compliance with one or more requirements of participation had caused, or was likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to residents. The Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was related to State Operations Manual, Appendix PP, 483.25 (Quality of Care) at a scope and severity of J. The findings are: Upon review of the Admission Record, the facility admitted Resident #66 on 07/22/2024 with a diagnosis of previous cerebral infarction (disrupted blood flow to the brain). Upon review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 07/29/2024, Resident #66 was assessed with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 9, (BIMS score 8-12 indicates moderate cognitive impairment for decision making). Per section GG of this MDS, and Resident #66's Care Plan dated 7/22/2024, the resident required the assistance of a rolling walker for ambulation. The care plan indicated Resident #66 had limited physical mobility related to dementia and impaired balance. Resident #66 did not have the rolling walker or any other assistive devices at the time of the elopement. The IJ began on 08/23/2024 at approximately 8:20 PM. Resident #66 was in the lobby and approached Laundry Aide #2, who was standing at the front door. Resident #66 asked Laundry Aide #2, Can I go outside? Laundry Aide #2 was opening the door to allow another resident back into the facility, and Resident #66 went out the front door. Laundry Aide #2 asked CNA #1 if this resident could go outside by herself, and CNA #1 confirmed the resident could go outside. Resident #66 was outside, unattended by staff, on the front grounds of the facility. (An internet search showed the sunset on 08/23/2024 was 7:41 PM and the temperature was approximately 80 degrees Fahrenheit.) Resident #66 then went to the gazebo, to the right near the willow tree. The facility had a smoke break at approximately 8:25 PM, where staff were in front of the facility under the canopy with other residents. The staff were unaware Resident #66 was outside at the time. Staff went back into the facility at the end of the smoke break, at approximately 8:40 PM. It is unknown what time Resident #66 left the facility grounds and began walking down the street. Staff noticed Resident #66 was not in their room at approximately 8:45 PM. At this time, staff began to search the building. The Director of Nursing (DON) was notified at approximately 9:00 PM of the missing resident. The Administrator was notified shortly after 9:00 PM, and the facility implemented an expanded search outside the facility. Family members were notified. The local police and fire department were notified, and they joined the search. The resident was located, by the Social Services employee, at the event center (301 Cobean Boulevard, Lake City, Arkansas, approximately 900 feet from the facility) at approximately 11:50 PM. Family was notified. Resident #66 was taken back to the facility where First Responder #3 evaluated the resident with no injuries noted. A skin assessment was performed by the DON with no injuries noted. After discussing the incident with the resident's family, Resident #66 was moved to a secured unit upon return to the facility as part of the plan of correction. During an interview on 10/22/2024 at 11:40 PM, First Responder #3 confirmed no injuries were noted on Resident #66's head-to-to-toe assessment he completed. During an interview with Resident #66 on 10/22/2024 at 1:10 PM, Resident #66 stated, I saw a light in the white building (event center where resident was later found) down the street and I was curious what was inside. I don't know what possessed me to start walking there, but I did. On my way, a guy in a car stopped and asked if I was okay. I told him I was okay, and he left. When I got to the building, the front door was locked, but the side doors were open. I went inside, and got a little turned around, but then I found some candy. I ate that and laid down and went to sleep. The next thing I knew, the people came in and woke me up. They told me I was lost, and no one knew where I was at. The girl that let me out worked there, and the guy she asked if I could go outside did too, so I thought they knew where I was. I feel bad I caused so much trouble. During an interview with CNA #1 on 10/22/2024 at 3:13 PM, CNA #1 confirmed Laundry Aide #2 did ask him if Resident #66 could go outside without staff supervision. And he confirmed he advised Laundry Aide #2 yes; the resident can go outside. When asked if he was familiar with Resident #66 and their care plan, he stated I didn't know exactly which resident it was but had seen that resident outside before and had seen [Resident #66] in the facility walking around, so I thought it was okay. When asked if any staff members were outside at the time Resident #66 went out the front door, CNA #1 stated, Not at that time, but they went out on a smoke break with other residents about 5-10 minutes later. When asked what an appropriate action would be to take before advising the other staff member, he stated, Know the resident and check the care plan. Ask the nurse if I don't know. Also, make sure staff is supervising residents that need it. CNA #1 confirmed, he was present for the in-service completed on 8/24/2024 on Wandering and Elopement. During an interview with Laundry Aide #2 on 10/22/2024 at 4:00 PM, she confirmed the resident was in the lobby and approached her at about 8:15 PM. She stated, I was standing there about to open the front door for another resident coming back into the facility. [Resident #66] wanted to know if it was okay for them to go outside. I wasn't sure so I asked [CNA #1] which was walking by at that time. As I was asking, [Resident #66] went through the door as the other resident was coming in. [CNA #1] said it was okay, so I left. When asked if there were staff members outside at the time Resident #66 went through the doors, she stated, Not that I know of. I didn't see any. During an interview with the DON on 10/23/2024 at 10:45 AM, she confirmed she performed a skin assessment upon return of Resident #66, and no injuries were noted. The DON also confirmed the decision to place Resident #66 on the secured unit was part of their plan of correction but, was previously discussed with the POA for Resident #66 to ensure he agreed with the plan. She also confirmed staff members were in-serviced with an in-depth discussion and re-training related to wandering and elopements, and ways to help prevent future elopements. During an interview with the Administrator regarding Resident #66, she confirmed the facility changed the area designated for smoking from the front entry area under the canopy to a covered area that has a locked gate. In addition, she confirmed that staff are to supervise the residents while outside. During an interview on 10/23/2024 at 1:30 PM, Resident #66's family member, which was the resident's Power of Attorney (POA), confirmed the resident was not able to make appropriate decisions for themselves due to cognition impairment. He confirmed there was a history of Resident #66 not making safe, or sound decisions for themselves. He stated he was in the process of obtaining guardianship over Resident #66, to ensure he can make all decisions for the resident in the future. He confirmed the facility notified him of the elopement. A review of a Wandering and Elopement Discussion In-Service, dated 8/24/2024, revealed a facility policy titled Wandering and Elopements with a revision date of March 2019, that revealed: The facility will identify residents who are at risk of unsafe wandering and strive to prevent harm while maintaining the least restrictive environment for residents. If identified as at risk for wandering, elopement, or other safety issues, the resident's care plan will include strategies and interventions to maintain resident's safety.

F584E · No harm, potential for more than minimal, pattern

Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure a wall, stained ceiling tile, door, floor tile and bed frame were maintained. This failed practice affected 4 sampled Residents (Resident #5, #7, #13, and #42) and the potential to affect 17 residents who resided in the secured unit, according to a list provided by the Administrator on 11/17/23 at 11:35 am. The findings are: 1. On 11/14/23 at 2:59 PM Resident #5 was lying in be with eyes closed. The bed mattress was tilting to resident's right. Roommate was awake and stated, Are you the lady from the state? Nobody has come in to change that bed out yet. Changing the mattress hasn't helped her. They've done that 2-3 times already. It's painful for old people to not have a comfortable bed. a. On 11/15/23 at 1:30 PM the Surveyor accompanied the Maintenance Supervisor (MS) to Resident #5 room. Both residents were out of the room. The Surveyor asked the MS to look at Resident #5's bed and see if it looked level and asked if any staff had informed him of the tilt. The MS answered, No, this is the first I've heard about this bed as he began adjusting the wheels and height of the bed. The Surveyor asked if the metal frame of the bed was supposed to be sitting on the wheels or the legs as the wheels were not touching the floor on one side. The MS answered, I've got it on the pegs now and not the wheels. What I really need to do is get a leveler. I think one leg has a rubber stopper on it and the other three do not, or it might be because of the new mattress. They come all bunched up in a package when they are new and have to get level with use. The Surveyor informed the MS that Resident #5 expressed concern about feeling like she was going to fall out of bed and hurt herself because the tilt caused her to end up on the edge. b. On 11/15/23 at 2:00 PM the MS said that he had put a leveler on the bed, and on the floor in Resident #5 room and the floor was crooked. The MS further sated, I've been doing this for fifteen years and sometimes these residents have to be convinced they are comfortable. c. On 11/16/23 at 3:02 PM, Resident #5 was lying in bed asleep. The bed remained in the same position in the room and the mattress was tilted to the resident's right. The wheel on the metal frame was not touching the floor. d. On 11/15/23 at 10:33 AM, the Administrator provided documentation entitled, Resident Rights which documented under Policy Statement .Employees shall treat all residents with kindness, respect, and dignity . 2. On 11/13/23 at 10:43 AM Resident #7 was lying in bed awake. There were [NAME] spots on ceiling tiles above Resident #7's bed. The Surveyor asked Resident #7 do you like the way that looks, No, I don't like the way it looks. I think it makes the bugs get in during the summertime The Surveyor asked Resident #7 if she would like to have them fixed? The Resident stated Oh yes. The Surveyor asked Resident #7 if she had asked anyone or told anyone. Resident #7 answered, No, I haven't. The Surveyor asked how long have the ceiling tiles been this way? Resident #7 answered, Just since the wintertime. It was ok when I got here. a. On 11/14/23 at 02:54 PM, Resident #7 was lying in bed awake watching television. The ceiling tiles remained the same over the bed, with one tile bulging outward. The brown spots ran the length of the edge of 2.5 of the ceiling tiles above the bed, measuring approximately 3 feet 8 inches long 6 inches wide. b. On 11/15/23 at 1:30 PM, the Surveyor asked the MS if he had been made aware of the water spots and bulging ceiling tile above Resident #7's bed. The MS answered, I expected water spots. I have leaks every time it rains. The Surveyor asked if there was a system or process in place to keep track of maintenance needs, or any type of maintenance log that documented maintenance priorities and completions. The MS answered, Well there's a book outside my office that people are supposed to write things in, but most of the time they just stop me in the hall and tell me when I'm on the way to do something else and I forget about it. The Surveyor asked the MS how long it normally takes to repair ceiling tiles. The MS answered, I've got some ceiling tiles that came in last week. I'll try to get to it today. 3. On 11/14/23 at 2:40 PM, Resident #13 was lying in bed asleep. There was a white square patch with uneven edges visible on the medium beige colored wall to resident's right side of bed that measured 24 feet and 1/2 inch by 19 inches that could be seen from the hallway when the door was open. There was also a large white area visible on the dark green wall behind the resident's bed and bedside table. There was a gouge in the medium beige wall behind the doorknob where the doorknob had hit the sheetrock causing a hole and a crack in the shape of a square where white sheetrock was showing on 3 sides of the square. a. On 11/15/23 at 1:46 PM, the Surveyor asked the MA If he knew about the patches, paint peeling in Resident #13 room, and the hole in the wall behind the door when you enter the room. The MS answered, Yes, I know about this. This whole room is going to get painted. That's in the plan. This is the oldest part of the building that was built in the 80's. My big concern is with having the resident in the room because that patch needs to be sanded before it's painted, and I don't want to do it with him in here. The Surveyor asked the MS how often he checks the rooms. The MS answered, I try to walk through at least 2-3 times a week. b. On 11/16/23 at 9:03 AM, the Administrator provided documentation entitled, Building Maintenance which documented, under policy statement, .This facility staff's maintenance personnel to handle the general p-keep, and all physical environment maintenance needs of the buildings and grounds making the facility safe . and .12.

Observation on 10/29/20 at 10:00 AM with Clinical Nurse Consultant (CNC) 1, of the ADON completing specimen collection for COVID-19 testing on CNC2 revealed the ADON swabbed both of CNC2's cheeks, the palate, and then placed the swab into a collection tube. The specimen collection lasted approximately eight seconds from start to finish. In an interview on 10/29/20 at 10:00 AM when asked what type of training she had completed to perform specimen collections the ADON stated her training was email instructions. In an interview on 10/29/20 at 10:02 AM with CNC1 after she observed the ADON completing the specimen collection from CNC2, the CNC1 confirmed the ADON did not collect the specimen correctly. Continued interview revealed it was her expectation the specimen collection would have been collected by swabbing both cheeks, swabbing above and below the tongue, and all the way back to the gag reflex. CNC1 stated the process should have been for a minimum of 20 seconds. Interview on 10/29/20 at 11:42 AM with the facility's Contract Laboratory Representative (CLR) revealed the swabs the facility had been using for approximately a month were for oral and nasal pharyngeal specimens. When asked the correct process to collect the oral pharyngeal specimen, the CLR stated, .should have swabbed the tonsil area quickly and firmly; and it should cause a gag on most people . After the surveyor informed the CLR of the specimen collection observations, the CLR stated this was not correct and could cause false negative test results. When asked about the self-swab guide from the contract laboratory provided by the facility, the CLR stated that was an outdated swab guide and the lab sent the facility an updated guide for the swabs the facility was currently using. Interview on 10/29/20 at 12:35 PM with CNC1 revealed the facility switched to oral pharyngeal testing approximately 09/18/20. The CNC stated she did not recall ever receiving an updated specimen collection guide; but the ADON was not swabbing the tonsil area which was recommended for oral pharyngeal testing. Interview on 10/29/20 at 12:59 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed it was her expectation the ADON would have hit (swabbed) the back of the throat in the tonsil area when performing residents' and staffs' specimen collections because that was what the instructions were that they received from the lab. Interview on 10/29/20 at 1:06 PM with the Administrator revealed it was her expectation the ADON would have completed the COVID testing per the laboratory's guidance to ensure the results were correct. Interview on 10/29/20 at 5:30 PM with the facility's Medical Director revealed it was his expectation for oral pharyngeal specimen collection, the facility would swab the cheeks and a deep swab on the throat. The Medical Director stated it was important the staff members' throats would have been swabbed because the COVID-19 virus may not just be in the oral cavity but it would be in the nasal pharyngeal area and swabbing the back of the throat would detect [MEDICAL CONDITION]. Interview on 10/29/20 at 6:25 PM with the ADON revealed she remembered reading an instruction card related to specimen collections; however, she did not recall the instruction card stating anything about swabbing the back of the throat when collection specimens for testing. The ADON stated she was not aware the back of the throat was to be swabbed. Review of the undated form provided by the facility titled, COVID-19 RT-PCR Self-Swab Guide Apollo Laboratories, revealed .Step 2: Mouth. Rub swab inside mouth on both cheeks, rub above and below tongue, rub along gums and on hard palate, rub toward tonsils (as far back as possible), saturate swab with oral fluid! This effort should take a full 20 seconds . Review of the undated facility provided form titled, Employees Who tested Positive for Covid-19, Return To Work Date, and Conformation (sic) They Have Received Return To Work Letter from ADH, revealed the facility has no employees who are currently COVID-19 positive. Review of the undated form titled, Residents Who tested Positive For COVID-19, Positive Test Date, Date Isolation Ends, revealed the facility had 16 residents who were positive for COVID-19 at the time of the survey. The facility's cumulative number of positive residents is 17.
