Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure adequate supervision was in place when a cognitively impaired resident (Resident B) with dementia and a wanderguard in place exited the facility on 7/7/19 at 11:45 a.m., without supervision through the A-hall fire exit door. The fire exit door alarm sounded for 4 minutes prior to a housekeeping staff member resetting the door alarm to turn it off without looking outside the door to ensure a resident did not exit the facility for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for accident hazards. This deficient practice resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy. The Immediate Jeopardy began on 7/7/19 at 11:45 a.m. when a cognitively impaired resident with dementia and with a wanderguard in place exited the facility through the A-hall fire exit door, without supervision. The fire exit door alarm sounded for 4 minutes prior to a housekeeping staff member resetting the door alarm to turn it off without looking outside to ensure a resident did not exit the facility. The Health Facility Administrator, Interim Director of Nursing, and Director of Nursing Services Specialist were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 7/24/19 at 4:16 p.m. Findings include: The incident report, dated 7/7/19 at 11:45 a.m., indicated the resident was found outside by a staff member. The resident was redirected into the building and believed to have been outside for 15 minutes. The temperature outside was 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit on 7/7/19 at 11:45 a.m. The clinical record for Resident B was reviewed on 7/24/19 at 10:52 a.m. The resident's [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The care plan, dated 7/1/19, indicated the resident was at risk for elopement due to wandering aimlessly near exit doors with interventions of all facility exits secured and a wanderguard in place, per physician order. The progress note, dated 6/25/19 at 11:58 a.m., indicated a relocation meeting was held with Resident B's family and discussed the resident's decreased participation in activities on the dementia unit. The resident was relocated from the locked unit to the A-hall. The progress note, dated 7/1/19 at 11:46 a.m., indicated the resident had been ambulating up and down the hallway towards the back exit (A-hall fire exit door) door. The resident was non-verbal and unable to communicate his intentions. The resident was a recent transition from the dementia unit with severely impaired cognition. On 7/1/19, a wanderguard was placed to the left ankle of the resident and he was placed on staff member 15 minute checks. The Safety Check List, dated 7/4/19 through 7/7/19, was reviewed on 7/24/19 at 11:00 a.m. The 15 minute check box was left blank on 7/6/19 at 6:45 p.m. The 15 minute check boxes lacked a nurse signature from 7/6/19 at 7:15 a.m. through 7/6/19 at 6:30 p.m. and the handwritten marks, dated 7/7/19 at 7:00 a.m. to 7:45 a.m., lacked a nurse signature. The 19 check marks on the sheet, that were hand written on the left margin, dated 7/7/19 after 7:45 a.m., lacked a time note and nurse signature. During an interview on 7/24/19 at 11:40 a.m., Wellness Assistant 4 indicated on 7/7/19, around lunch time, she saw the resident outside in the side visitor parking lot. She went out the back therapy door, next to the parking lot, and the resident was standing by a car with his hand inside the window. The resident was redirected back in the building through the front doors. During an interview on 7/24/19 at 11:45 a.m., the Administrator indicated the resident exited the facility at the end of A-Hall. The resident pushed on the door for 15 seconds at which time the door opened due to the fire release. The alarm sounded for 4 minutes at which time a housekeeping staff member turned off the alarm, but did not go outside and look to see why the door alarmed. The aides were in other resident rooms providing care at the time the alarm was sounding and were not sure where the nurse was. The resident was outside for approximately 13 minutes before another staff member found the resident and brought him back into the building. During an interview on 7/24/19 at 3:19 p.m., Housekeeping Staff 5 indicated she turned off the alarm to the A-hall fire door exit but did not go out the door due to her not being able to get back in. On 7/25/19 at 9:30 a.m., the A-hall exit fire door was observed to exit into a breezeway with stairs to the right that led to the second floor and an exit unlocked door that lead outside the building. Once outside there was an 8 foot sidewalk with a decline which lead to the sidewalk located next to the back parking lot. To the far right end of the back parking lot was a 3 foot pathway that led to a neighborhood. To the left, the sidewalk extended 20 to 30 feet then veered left and extended down another 20 to 30 feet towards the exit door to the therapy gym door and around the building to the front entrance. There was a 6 foot privacy fence around the courtyard next to the sidewalk which extended from the A-hall fire exit door around to the left side of the therapy exit door. There were clear glass windows showing the metal stairs leading to the second floor in the breezeway and there were no other visible windows on the side of the building the resident walked out. During a second interview on 7/25/19 at 2:22 p.m. in the therapy office, Wellness Assistant 4 indicated she was sitting at her desk when she looked out the therapy gym door and saw Resident B standing next to a car, which was about 9 parking spaces down from the building. She picked up her purse, put in the door code and exited the facility with the resident in sight. She and the resident stood by the car for several minutes while she attempted to redirect him. She told the resident it was lunch time, at which time she was able to redirect him back into the building. Due to the resident's slow gait, it took about 6 to 7 minutes to get him back in the building. She escorted the resident into the main dining room and went to report the incident to the A-hall nurse. The back parking located outside the A-hall fire exit door could not be observed from the therapy gym due to the privacy fence. On 7/24/19 at 1:25 p.m., the Administrator provided a current copy of the document titled Elopement Prevention and Response Program dated (MONTH) (YEAR). It included, but was not limited to, Policy .It is the policy of the facility that staff who have residents under their care are responsible for knowing the location of those residents The Immediate Jeopardy that began on 7/7/19 at 11:45 a.m. was removed on 7/25/19 when the facility completed staff education on elopement procedures and door alarm response, test operations of doors/alarms, and elopement drills with staff response. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 7/25/19, but noncompliance remained at the lower scope and severity of isolated, no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy because not all staff had been educated elopement drills with staff response.
