The DON or designee will monitor that nursing staff, including agency nursing staff, can access the Kardex from the computer by observation of staff retrieval of the data from the electronic health record. 8. The Administrator, DON, DOR, MDS staff were in-serviced by QI Nurse on proper completion of therapy screen assessments on 11/26/2024. (Completed prior to surveyor's arrival on 11/26/2024 at 12:55 p.m.) 9. The CNA involved in the incident was reported to the CNA board on 11/18/2024 by the Administrator.

This deficient practice resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy on 07/23/2024 at 5:55 p.m. when Resident #1, a severely cognitively impaired resident who was ambulatory, was unsupervised and eloped from the facility. Resident #1 walked out of the front entrance of the facility after S5Evening Receptionist remotely released the front sliding doors to an open position for Resident #1 to exit.

Findings: Review of the facility's Wandering and Elopements policy with a revision date of 11/15/2023 revealed in part: Policy Statement: The facility will identify residents who are at risk of unsafe wandering and implement appropriate protective measure to help guard against a resident wandering from the facility. The facility strives to prevent harm while maintaining the least restrictive environment for residents. Identifying Residents at Risk 1. On admission/readmission, quarterly during observation period of MDS (Minimum Data Set), annual, significant changes and PRN (as needed), the nursing staff will screen each resident for elopement risk using the Elopement risk Evaluation V (version) 2.0, or equivalent form. After reviewing this information, the nursing staff will determine if the resident is at risk for wandering/elopement. 2. If identified as at risk for wandering, elopement, or other safety issues, the resident's care plan will include strategies and interventions to maintain the resident's safety. 4. The following items will be used to increase staff awareness of residents at risk to wander/elope: A list of residents that are high risk for elopement or with security bracelets will be posted at the nurse's stations. Identification of each resident with a picture and face sheet will be with the resident list at the nurse's stations. Orientation of all staff to potential wanderers will be performed on an on-going basis.

Based on record review, video review, an interviews, the facility failed to be administered in a manner that enabled its resources to be used effectively and efficiently by failing to implement a system to provide quality care to meet the needs of each resident by failing to: 1. Ensure a process was in place to prevent a cognitively impaired resident from exiting the facility for 1 (Resident #1) of 9 (#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8 and #9) sampled residents reviewed for elopement. and 2. Ensure the nursing staff possessed the competency to accurately assess a resident for an elopement risk. The lack of administrative oversight resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy on 07/23/2024 at 5:55 p.m. when Resident #1, a severely cognitively impaired resident who was ambulatory, was unsupervised and eloped from the facility. Resident #1 walked out of the front entrance of the facility after S5Evening Receptionist remotely released the front sliding doors to an open position for Resident #1 to exit.

Therefore, protective measures had not been put into place related to Resident #1's elopement risk. Multiple observations throughout the survey revealed the front entrance door, which opened to a large sitting area accessible to the residents, was not locked during the day and allowed staff and visitors open access to enter the facility.

Findings: Review of the facility's Admission Assessment and Follow Up: Role of the Nurse with a revision date of September 2012 revealed in part: Purpose: the purpose of this procedure is to gather information about the resident's physical, emotional, cognitive, and psychosocial condition upon admission for the purposes of managing the resident, initiating the care plan, and completing required assessment instruments, including the MDS (Minimum Data Set). Steps in the Procedure: 5. Conduct an admission assessment (history and physical), including: a. A summary of the individual's recent medical history, including hospitalization s, acute illnesses, and overall status prior to admission . b. Relevant medical, social and family history if available. Review of the facility's Wandering and Elopements policy with a revision date of 11/15/2023 revealed in part: Policy Statement: The facility will identify residents who are at risk of unsafe wandering and implement appropriate protective measure to help guard against a resident wandering from the facility. The facility strives to prevent harm while maintaining the least restrictive environment for residents. Identifying Residents at Risk 1. On admission/readmission, quarterly during observation period of MDS, annual, significant changes and PRN (as needed), the nursing staff will screen each resident for elopement risk using the Elopement risk Evaluation V (version) 2.0, or equivalent form. After reviewing this information, the nursing staff will determine if the resident is at risk for wandering/elopement. 2. If identified as at risk for wandering, elopement, or other safety issues, the resident's care plan will include strategies and interventions to maintain the resident's safety. 4. The following items will be used to increase staff awareness of residents at risk to wander/elope: A list of residents that are high risk for elopement or with security bracelets will be posted at the nurse's stations. Identification of each resident with a picture and face sheet will be with the resident list at the nurse's stations. Orientation of all staff to potential wanderers will be performed on an on-going basis. Review of the Resident #1's medical record revealed an admitted [DATE] at 12:58 p.m. with diagnoses including Dementia (unspecified severity) with Mood Disturbance, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Nicotine Dependence. Review of Resident #1's Elopement Risk Evaluation Audit Report revealed Resident #1, who had a history of elopement from home, was assessed as not at risk for elopement on 07/23/2024 at 3:59 p.m. by S4ADON (Assistant Director of Nursing).

During an interview on 07/29/2024 at 10:30 a.m., Resident #1 stated multiple times I want to go home; can you take me home? Resident #1 also asked do you have a car; can you take me home? During an interview on 07/29/2024 at 11:00 a.m., S2DON (Director of Nursing) confirmed Resident #1 told staff on admission day, he was ready to leave and go home and Resident #1's family reported he had wandering behaviors. S2DON reported Resident #1 should have been placed on the list of Residents at risk for elopement. During an interview on 07/29/2024 at 1:30 p.m., S2DON reported she reviewed Resident #1's initial Admission Elopement Evaluation on the night Resident #1 eloped and Resident #1 had been evaluated as not at risk for elopement by S4ADON (Assistant Director of Nursing) on 07/23/2024 at 3:59 p.m. S2DON confirmed S4ADON did not complete an accurate Admission Elopement Risk Evaluation for Resident #1 and should have. S2DON reported she had not looked at Resident #1's initial evaluation again until 07/29/2024, when she realized some of the answers had been changed. Review of Resident #1's Elopement Risk Evaluation Audit Report dated 07/29/2024 with S2DON revealed questions #3 and 5 had been changed from no as entered on 07/23/2024 at 3:59 p.m. to yes on 07/24/2024 at 7:55 a.m. by S4ADON. Further review of Resident #1's Admission Elopement Risk Evaluation dated 07/23/2024 revealed in part, a 'yes' answer to any question identified with an asterisk (*) identifies a risk for elopement: Question #3. *Does the resident have a history of elopement or an attempted elopement while at home and Question #5. *Has the resident verbally expressed the desire to go home, packed belongings to go home or stayed near an exit door? S2DON confirmed these answer changes made Resident #1 at a high risk for elopement. S2DON reported S4ADON should not have changed answers on the initial elopement risk evaluation and a new elopement evaluation should have been completed after Resident #1 eloped. During an interview on 07/29/2024 at 1:40 p.m., S4ADON acknowledged she had interviewed Resident #1, who had a diagnosis of Dementia, upon admission and evaluated Resident #1 as not at risk for elopement.

S4ADON acknowledged she should not have changed the answers and instead should have opened a new elopement assessment. S4ADON reported risk assessments were a new task and was not sure if she was doing it right because she was not accustomed to performing assessments. S4ADON acknowledged she did not alert staff or put elopement interventions into place for Resident #1 until after he had eloped on 07/24/2024.
