F689J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

This citation pertains to intake #MI 545. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure adequate supervision to prevent elopement and ensure the safety for one sampled resident (901) who had impaired decision making and with a known elopement risk. Resulting in an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on Saturday 11/17/18 at 8:34 PM when, Resident #901 exited the unit through an unalarmed door to the employee break room, that lead to another unalarmed door to a vestibule, and then exited the facility through a third unalarmed door. This elopement was unbeknown to facility staff until approximately 9:00 PM. Resident (901) was located by the local fire department at approximately 9:55 PM and then taken to the emergency room . This deficient practice resulted in Resident 901 exposed to 30-degree weather, hand abrasions, wet clothes, and the likelihood of causing serious harm, injury, and/or death. Findings include: The IJ was started on 12/07/18 and identified on 11/17/18. The Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 12/07/18 at 11:30 a.m. The Administrator was asked for a plan to remove the immediacy. The IJ was removed on 12/7/18 based on the facility's implementation plan and verified onsite on 12/7/18. Although the IJ was removed, the facility's deficient practice remains at isolated, actual harm that is not immediate jeopardy. On 12/07/18 at 9:19 AM during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) was interviewed regarding Resident 901's elopement from the building. The DON stated, It happened on (MONTH) 17th. I received a call at 9pm. Upon investigation we found out (R901) left out of the building at 8:34pm, it was confirmed by cameras. (R901) left through the employee break room, which has three doors. The employee door was observed with the DON. The door to the hallway lead to a small break room, the room had another door that lead to stairs and another door that lead to the outside. The DON was asked were the doors alarmed as they are now. The DON stated, No. None of the three doors had alarms. The DON continued and explained, After (R901) exited the building the cameras did not pick up anything else. The DON was asked for the staff that were assigned to (R901). The DON reviewed the facility's investigation and stated, According to my statement (Nurse A) called me at 9:07 PM saying that she could not find (R901). I asked how long has (R901) been missing and she said that the last time anyone had seen (R901) was about 30 minutes ago. I told them to search the building again and have someone to call the police. (R901) was not found. I got here around 9:20 PM the Police was already here when I showed up. Around 9:55 PM the Police Officer got a call that the resident was found. They found (R901) about a mile away from here. The DON was asked what was Resident 901's condition when found. The DON stated, (R901's) condition was reported that (they) had abrasions on (their) hands, (they) were cold and a little wet. The DON was asked if they reported how Resident #901 got wet.

The video revealed, Resident #901 walking in the hallway. Resident #901 was wearing a blue sweat shirt, jogging pants, socks, and slide in shoes (sandal that left toes and heels exposed). Resident #901 opened the door and went into the room (employee break room) and was out of view. Resident #901 was not observed to return back into the hallway from that door. On 12/7/18 at 11:30 AM a review of the Police Report revealed, On 11/17/18 at 2115 (9:15 PM) Officer E and I (Officer F) were dispatched to (facility) for a resident who was missing.

I made contact with one of the nurses at (facility) . were the nurses/employees that were working during the time that (R901) became missing. I was advised that (R901) was last seen at (YEAR) hours (9:15 PM). Initial thought was that (R901) had possibly been missing for an hour. The last time that (R901) was last seen by each nurse was estimated to be between 2000 (hours) hrs and 2100 hrs (8:00 PM - 9:00 PM). Around 2045 hrs (8:45 PM) after realizing that (R901) was missing they started looking for (them) throughout the building. When (they) could not be located they called the Police . The nurses advised me that almost every exit door is alarmed when someone exits them and that no alarm had gone off . On video, I can see (R901) making several attempts to exit out the main door starting around 1900 hrs (7:00 PM). (R901) would walk to the door, pull on it several times and then walk back into the dining area. I also observed at times some of the nurses would put a clothes hanger in the main door when people would step outside. This would bypass the alarm if someone were to leave out the door. The last observed time I seen (R901) inside (facility) was at (YEAR) hrs (9:15 PM). Prior to going further in the video (Officer E) had radioed that he had found (R901) behind the gate in the Department of Public Works (DPW) lot.

F318G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to operationalize and implement a Restorative Nursing Program and failed to perform and document Range of Motion (ROM) activities for 1 (# 708) of 3 Residents reviewed for Restorative Nursing and (ROM), from a total sample of 10, resulting lack of monitoring and documentation of Resident ROM abilities and development of contractures (foot drop- contracture of the ankle). Findings include: Record review on 10/10/17 at 10:00 AM revealed Resident #708 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated the Resident had severely impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making, had impaired ROM in their bilateral upper and lower extremities, and required total assistance to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL's). The MDS further revealed the Resident was not receiving Restorative Nursing services. On 10/10/17 at 10:25 AM, Resident #708 was observed lying in bed in their room. The Resident's feet were observed to be pointed down (toes were pointed away from the Resident's head) while in bed. On 10/10/17 at 10:30 AM, wound care treatment for [REDACTED]. During wound care treatment, the Resident was rolled in the bed from side to side. The Resident's feet were observed to be pointed down (toes were pointed away from the Resident's head), at a 30 to 40 degree angle, at all times during the care observation. When queried regarding Resident #708's heels, Nurse C lifted Resident #708's foot from the bed. When the Resident's feet was lifted, the Resident's toes remained pointed downward (away from the Resident's head) and the Resident displayed facial grimacing and moaned. The Resident's ankles remained at a 30 to 40 degree angle when lifted from the bed by Nurse C. On 10/10/17 at 11:10 AM, review of Resident #708's medical record revealed documentation of Restorative Nursing entitled, Restorative Care Flow Record. The documentation indicated Resident #708's most recent Restorative Nursing treatment occurred on 4/17/17. On 10/10/17 at 12:05 PM, an interview was conducted with Restorative Nursing Staff A. When queried regarding the facilities Restorative Nursing Program, Staff A stated, We usually have them (Residents) for 12 weeks after they are done with therapy. With further inquiry regarding what occurs after the 12 weeks is completed, Staff A stated, They (Residents) are done with Restorative so none. We don't see them after that. I was told it is because of insurance. When queried how the facility prevents and ensures that Resident's functional status does not decline after Restorative Nursing is no longer seeing a Resident, Staff A replied, I've always wondered that myself. Staff A then stated, If the staff notice a change, they can try to get PT (Physical Therapy) to evaluate them again. With inquiry regarding Resident #708 and their last documented Restorative treatment occurring on 4/17/17, Staff A stated, Yeah, that is when they were done with their 12 weeks. I don't see Residents unless there is an order. When asked about Resident #708's feet and contractures, Staff A stated, They didn't have any contractures before. At this time, observation of Resident #708's feet and ankles occurred with Staff A. The Resident's feet were observed to be pointed down (toes were pointed away from the Resident's head) at a 30 to 40 degree angle. Staff A was observed asking Resident #708 to point their toes toward the ceiling. The Resident was unable to point their toes toward the ceiling. Staff A then asked Resident #708 to wiggle their toes. Slight movement was observed in toes on both of the Resident's feet. With further inquiry, Staff A stated, I would say they (Resident #708's feet/ankles) are at a 30 degree angle. Staff A then attempted to move the Resident's feet upward to point their toes toward the ceiling. The Resident's feet were observed with minimal movement but their toes did not point toward the ceiling and the Resident displayed facial grimacing and made a moan sound. Staff A then stated, (Resident #708) definitely has lost ROM in both ankles. On 10/10/17 at 12:15 PM, an interview and observation was completed with Nurse B and Staff A. When queried regarding Resident #708, Nurse B stated, (The Resident) used to have boots a long time ago but they don't anymore. (The Resident) had a pressure ulcer before. Staff A asked Nurse B if the boots were discontinued because of the pressure ulcer and Staff A replied, No. They (boots) didn't have anything to do with that. They were discontinued after the pressure ulcer healed. When queried if the boots were to decrease pressure, Nurse B replied, They were the pressure boots that have the metal on the side. When queried further, Nurse B stated, I'm not aware of them (Resident #708) having any contractures. Observation of Resident #708's feet occurred with Nurse B and Staff A at this time. The Resident's feet were observed to be pointed downward (toes pointed away from the Resident's head) at a 30 to 40 degree angle. Nurse B asked the Resident to move their feet and point their toes towards the ceiling. No movement was observed in the Resident's feet and ankles. Nurse B placed their hands on the Resident's feet to point the Resident's toes toward the ceiling. The Resident's feet and toes did not reach a 90 degree angle with pressure applied by Nurse B. When Nurse B moved the Resident's feet, Resident #708 displayed facial grimacing. Nurse B proceeded to state, (Resident #708) is stiff, the right (ankle) is worse than the left (ankle). (Resident #708) would probably qualify for Restorative. When queried if staff complete passive ROM activities with Resident #708, Nurse B replied, No. Nurse B then stated, I will check into it and see if we can get Therapy to see (the Resident). On 10/10/17 at 12:35 PM, Resident #708's facility provided active care plans were reviewed. Review revealed care plans entitled: ADL Functional/Rehabilitation Potential (Start Date: 9/28/16, Edited 2/9/17),Nutritional Status (Start Date: 2/17/17, Continue: 7/19/17), Psychosocial Well-Being (Start Date: 8/8/17), Pain (Start Date: 9/28/16, Continue: 8/1/17), Falls (Start Date: 4/4/16, Continue: 8/1/17), and Mood State (Start Date: 8/3/17, Edited: 8/8/17).
