Based on review of clinical records, event reports, incident reports and select facility policy and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to implement planned safety interventions to prevent falls and elopement for three of 30 sampled residents (Resident 84, 115 and 420). Findings include: A review of the facility Lift, Transfer and Repositioning policy, last reviewed by the facility January 31, 2011, revealed gait/transfer belts will be used where assistance is required for ambulation and transfers activities, anytime a resident requires weight bearing assistance. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 84 had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed her to be severely, cognitively impaired, required extensive assistance for bed mobility and transfers and assistance for activities of daily living.

A review of an incident report dated March 12, 2011 at 9:20 PM, and an Event Report submitted to State Survey Agency dated March 18, 2011 revealed that on March 12, 2011 a nursing staff member assisted the resident to bed, when the resident sat on the floor. The licensed nursing staff assessed the resident and found that she had good range of motion, no apparent injuries and denied pain. A review of nurses notes dated March 12, 2011 at 9 PM revealed "Resident placed self on the floor, sitting on buttocks when being assisted into bed. Resident upset due to the fact she was not in bed earlier. No injuries noted. " The resident was assisted by one nurse aide, Employee 1, at the time she sat on the floor on March 12, 2011. The next day, March 13, 2011, the resident's leg was ecchymotic (black and blue), but the resident continued to deny pain. The physician examined the resident's lower extremity on March 15, 2011. Nurses notes dated between March 12, 2011 and March 18, 2011 revealed Resident 84's right lower leg area was ecchymotic and swollen. The notes also indicated that the resident had difficulty standing with staff assistance. Further nurses notes dated March 18, 2011, at 12:30 PM revealed " increasing edema (swelling) and ecchymosis noted. The physician was notified and an ankle X-ray was ordered." A review of a radiology report dated March 18, 2011 revealed that Resident 84 had sustained a recent right ankle fracture. A review of an employee warning discipline record for Employee 1 (a nurse aide) dated March 20, 2011 revealed that "on March 12, 2011 you were assisting (Resident 84) into bed, when she sat down on the floor. You did not use a gait belt (belt that reduces strain on caregiver's back and provides a secure holding point for patients during transfer) per facility policy.

During an interview September 28, 2011 at 2 PM the Director of Nursing confirmed that Employee 1, nurse aide did not follow the facility's gait belt policy for transfers resulting in Resident 84's fall with injury. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 115 was admitted on [DATE], with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A review of the resident's care plan for risk for falls, dated November 11, 2010, revealed the approach to transfer with assist of 1, as needed, with walker and locomotion via wheelchair and auto lock brakes on wheelchair. A review of a facility incident report and event report submitted to the State Survey Agency dated June 15, 2011, at 8:30 PM revealed that Resident 115 was found on the floor at the sink, in her bathroom. The resident complained of right shoulder pain. The physician was contacted and ordered an X-ray of the right shoulder. A review of a radiology report dated June 16, 2011, revealed anterior right shoulder dislocation. A resident statement dated June 15, 2011 at 8:30 PM revealed "she was standing at the sink and went to sit down and the wheelchair went out from under her. She thought she had locked the wheelchair." A review of the corresponding incident investigation completed by the facility dated June 16, 2011, revealed that Resident 115 was care planned for auto-lock brakes to her wheelchair. The resident received a new drop-seat wheelchair from occupational therapy on May 31, 2011. The anti-lock brakes were not on the new chair when issued. Maintenance request was sent for anti-lock brakes to be applied (sent by therapy on June 3, 2011). Therapy department was not aware that the anti-lock brakes were never applied to the chair until after the report of the fall on June 16, 2011. A review of documentation from the facility's maintenance supervisor dated June 17, 2011 revealed no evidence of notification of the need for anti-lock brakes to be applied to the resident's new drop-seat wheelchair per therapy on June 3, 2011. The facility's investigation indicated that follow-up education was conducted with the therapy department related to not issuing new equipment until all safety mechanisms appropriate and or care planned for a resident are available and in place, and to the maintenance department on appropriate follow up communication required when requested work orders can not be completed for any reason. During an interview September 28, 2011 at 9:45 AM, the Director of Nursing confirmed that the anti-lock brakes were not on Resident 115's wheelchair at the time of the fall on June 15, 2011. A review of the facility policy and procedure entitled Elopement Risk Assessment reviewed by the facility in March 1, 2011, revealed that an elopement assessment will be completed within 8 hours of admission. All residents will have a "Wandering/Exit Seeking Resident Profile" completed as per policy and given to the receptionist. A care plan will be developed to include the resident's potential for elopement related to previous history, behavioral/medical history, current physical ability and current behavior/cognitive status. The level of supervision required based upon the assessment and specific approaches to keep the resident safe. The team will address the resident for risk of elopement and implement specific interventions as needed such as, redirection with conversation and activities, involve family members in redirection and by phone, encourage attendance in activity programs, apply Alpha Watch (bracelet which locks door to facility when resident is near), every 15 minute monitoring and 1 to 1 supervision on unit. The elopement assessment will be reviewed during care plan meetings and at least quarterly or following an attempted elopement. Review of an event submitted to the State Survey Agency on October 10, 2010, revealed that Resident 420 had exited the facility at 1:01 PM that date and per video surveillance, a maintenance man let him out of the facility's front door. The resident was across the driveway in the area of the flagpole, which is approximately 100 feet away from the facility front door. Video surveillance determined the resident was brought back to the facility with security at 2:30 PM on this date. A review of the resident's clinical record revealed that the resident was identified at risk for elopement on August 3, 2010. The elopement assessment indicated the resident was able to ambulate with a device. The resident did not have an Alpha watch bracelet in place when he was identified as an elopement risk on August 3, 2010, or at the time of elopement on October 10, 2010. The facility also did not have a plan of care in place at this for the resident's risk for elopement. A review of the clinical record documentation dated October 7, 2010 at 9:00 PM indicated that the resident had his coat on and was in his wheelchair with his walker attached to the back of it; he stated he was getting out of here. Due to the resident not being able to speak and understand English clearly, a Spanish speaking staff member was called to speak to the resident and calm him down. Nursing alerted security of this resident's desire to leave the facility. Nursing documentation of October 10, 2010 at 3:15 PM revealed that the resident was on the pathway by the East parking lot by the bench. At this time, once returned to the building, an Alpha watch bracelet was applied to the resident to alert the facility of attempts to leave unsupervised. A review of the incident/accident report included a statement written by Employee 10, an LPN on October 10, 2010, which indicated that when this employee went into the resident's room, he was making his bed and stated "I'm leaving." Employee 10 told the resident, not to leave that "we love you here." Employee 10 indicated that he was unable to be redirected. Employee 11's (nurse aide) statement indicated that she observed the resident packing his stuff and he refused lunch on October 10, 2010. She also stated that another resident recognized him, while look outside from a window, and the resident was sitting outside by the road. The incident/accident report revealed that Employee 12, a maintenance worker, assisted resident out the door and was unaware that the resident was not to be outside unsupervised. This employee was inserviced on proper supervision of residents on October 13, 2010 During an interview with the director of nursing on September 29, 2011, at 10:00 AM along with a review of the incident/accident report revealed that on the day of the elopement the maintenance man allowed the resident to leave the building due to the front door being open and multiple people going in and out. Facility security tapes confirmed that the resident wheeled himself outside of the facility at 1:01 PM to the flagpole area. When staff realized he was not on his nursing unit he was observed from the eighth floor window and was escorted by security back to the building at 2:30 PM. Employee 13, a nurse aide, who was assigned to this resident at that time on October 10, 2010, returned from her lunch break and was unable to locate the resident.
