She confirmed the windows were not locked or monitored by an alarm system. She said the interventions were not effective because the facility did not have enough staff to provide adequate supervision for the residents on Hall 2 and supervise Resident #4. An interview was completed with S4MDS on 02/09/2022 at 11:57 a.m. She confirmed she was responsible for completing the wandering/elopement risk assessment for the residents. She said Resident #4 was identified on the assessment as a high risk for elopement. She said the resident has a wander guard and S2DON tracked his behaviors. She said after each elopement attempt the staff should implement census checks Q 15 minutes on Resident #4 for 24 hours or until he stopped exhibiting exit-seeking behaviors. She stated after the exit seeking behaviors ended the staff would check on Resident #4 every 1 hour. She said S2DON reviewed the resident's behaviors in December 2021 and implemented interventions to increase staff attempts to engage him in activities, redirect him to play his guitar, have a CNA take him outside and began giving him a non-alcoholic beer in the evening. She said on 12/09/2021 staff were instructed to complete a census check on Resident #4 every 15 minutes, but were only required to document those checks once a shift at 5:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. She confirmed no changes were made to Resident #4's window or any of the windows in the building to prevent Resident #4 from exiting through them unsupervised. She said all residents were allowed to go outside into the yard unsupervised because it was secured by a fence. An observation was made of the front exterior of the facility on 02/10/2022 at 8:33 a.m. The facility was located off a major highway in a small rural town. The highway was approximately 100 yards from the front doors with a pond directly across the highway. An observation was made of the rear exterior of the facility on 02/10/2022 at 8:40 a.m. The facility yard was completely fenced in with a chain-linked fence that had three additional layers of angled smooth wire on top of the 6-foot fence. The yard was approximately one fourth of an acre with 2 movable wooden picnic tables, a movable 2-person glider and one basketball goal lying on the ground. On the other side of the fence was a wooded area that bordered the fence and extended on both sides of the facility. The yard behind the building of Hall 2 was not visible from Hall 2's patio or commons area. Behind the building of Hall 2, the fence was observed to be approximately a foot lower than the rest. A concrete walkway ran along the side and behind the building of Hall 2. The concrete walkway continued around the building to Hall 1. A black aluminum handrail served as protection to stay on the walkway, due to a 4-6 foot uneven drop off. At the corner of this handrail, the secure fence for the yard was within an arm's length reach. In between the handrail and fence was a 4-6 foot drop off to the ground. The walkway continued around the building of Hall 2 and separated Hall 1's patio by a fence and gate. This area was not able to be visualized when on Hall 2's patio or commons area. An observation was made of Resident #4's room on 02/10/2022 from 9:14 a.m. to 9:55 a.m. At 9:14 a.m., S3ADON was observed to exit the resident's room and close the door.

During this time, no staff were observed to open the door and check on Resident #4 to ensure he was in the room. An interview was completed with S16CNA on 02/10/2022 at 11:42 a.m. She said the wander guard system only worked for the front doors. She stated if a resident with a wander guard tried to exit the facility front doors it would alarm. She said if a resident with a wander guard was within 15 feet of the door, a light would flash on the system and the doors would automatically lock down. She confirmed none of the windows had an alarm on them. She said the patio doors were all unlocked and the residents were allowed to go outside unsupervised because it was fenced in. An interview was completed with S7LPN on 02/10/2022 at 11:55 a.m. She confirmed she was familiar with Resident #4.

She stated the resident was independently ambulatory and able to physically climb out a window or walk out of the building. She said the CNA staff were responsible for completing Q 15 minute checks on Resident #4, but there was not enough staff assigned to Hall 2 for all the Q 15 minute checks to be completed. She said the staff did not have any way of knowing if the checks were completed or not. She stated the facility did not put alarms on any of the windows that Resident #4 attempted to exit through, but it would have helped the staff with knowing if the resident was trying to elope. An interview was completed with S7LPN and S3ADON on 02/10/2022 at 1:01 p.m. They both confirmed Hall 2's patio door was not locked and Resident #4 could exit the doors unsupervised into the yard. An interview was completed with S1ADM on 02/10/2022 at 3:20 p.m. He confirmed Resident #4 required a wander guard because the facility identified him as a high risk resident for elopement. He confirmed the doors to the patio were unlocked and did not connect to the wander guard system. He stated the residents, including Resident #4, were able to exit the facility and access the patio area unsupervised because the yard was secured by a fence. An interview was completed with S2DON on 02/10/2022 at 3:30 p.m. She stated on 12/09/2021 Q 15 minute checks were initiated on Resident #4's EMAR.

She said last week on 02/01/2022 at 5:30 p.m., a dietary staff member found the resident outside of Hall 2 and behind the building. She confirmed the staff did not know Resident #4 was outside when the dietary staff found him. She said she reported the incident on 02/01/2022 to the nurse. She said Resident #4 was on hourly census checks. She said if Resident #4 attempted to elope the staff would increase the checks to Q 15 minutes. She said the interventions were not effective because the facility did not have enough staff to supervise Resident #4 Q 15 minutes. An observation was made of Hall 2 on 02/11/2022 from 10:05 a.m. to 11:05 a.m. Resident #4 was in his isolation room at the end of Hall 2 with the door closed.

She confirmed this was reported to administration and Q 15 minute checks were initiated. An interview was completed with S11CNA on 02/11/2022 at 11:05 a.m. She said she was normally assigned to Resident #4. She said on 08/17/2021, she was assigned to monitor Hall 2's commons area and noticed Resident #4 was outside on the patio. She said she went to his room and found the window open. She said when she was working last week, a dietary worker found Resident #4 behind the building of Hall 2 on the walkway unsupervised. She said Resident #4 should be one on one watch because he tried to leave the facility every chance he could. She said the interventions were not effective because the facility does not have enough staff to complete hourly checks or Q 15 minute census checks on Resident #4. An interview was completed with S17DIET on 02/11/2022 at 11:15 a.m. She said on 02/01/2021, she found Resident #4 on the walkway behind the building of Hall 2.

An interview was completed with S18MAINT on 02/11/2022 at 11:49 a.m. He said Resident #4 had been pulled off the exterior fence and attempted to elope multiple times out of the doors. He confirmed Resident #4 had exited the facility through his bedroom window. He confirmed the window was not secured nor had an alarm placed on it after the resident was found exiting it. He confirmed Resident #4 could exit the facility through his window. An interview was completed with S2DON on 02/11/2022 at 12:28 p.m. She said Resident #4 had frequent behaviors of banging on the doors at the front of the building and on several occasions exited through a window. She said with each elopement attempt he was placed on Q 15 minute census checks by CNA staff for a minimum of 24 hours or until his exiting behaviors stopped. She said when he exited out the front door on 10/17/2021 another resident let Resident #4 out of the building. She said she did not think there was an issue with Resident #4 going out of the window because the yard was secure. She said all the residents, including Resident #4, were allowed outside unsupervised because the yard was securely fenced in. She said the wander guard was for the front doors of the facility. She confirmed the doors on Hall 1's patio, Hall 2's patio, and Hall 3's patio were not locked and the residents could go outside unsupervised. She said the facility increased Resident #4's security checks to Q 15 minutes on 12/09/2021 and placed the security checks on the EMAR. She confirmed even though staff were to check on Resident #4 Q 15 minutes it was only required to be documented twice a day. She said on 12/30/2021, she reviewed all Resident #4's notes from September 2021 to December 2021. She said she then implemented the following measures: activity director to assist Resident #4 with one on one activities during peak times, one non-alcoholic beer in the evenings, continue with Q 15 minutes checks, continue with staff redirection, composition notebook provided for reminders, reminders placed in his room and continue with wander guard in place. She stated the interventions were effective because he has not had another elopement attempt since 12/29/2021. She confirmed she did not know about the incident on 02/01/2022 when dietary staff found Resident #4 behind the building of Hall 2 unsupervised. She said she did not think it was an issue because the yard was fenced in and Resident #4 could not get over or out of the fence.

S2DON reported that S4LPN told her the resident's [MEDICATION NAME] was not on the medication cart and was not in the med room so she had to call the pharmacy. The DON said S4LPN told her the [MEDICATION NAME] had been ordered but hadn't been delivered so the nurse documented "N" for not given. S2DON reviewed the eMAR for March 2012 that was printed on 3/6/12 and verified the nurse did not document she had given the [MEDICATION NAME] that morning as ordered. On 3/9/12 at 9:00 a.m., an interview was held with S4LPN. She said when she was giving the resident his medications on Tuesday, 3/6/12, she realized the [MEDICATION NAME] and [MEDICATION NAME] wasn't on the cart but didn't say anything about it. She said she went to the medication room and found the [MEDICATION NAME] but didn't have the [MEDICATION NAME]. She said that she knew the [MEDICATION NAME] had been ordered because the label was pulled. She said she had called the pharmacist and found out that it had not been delivered. She reported she went back and found the fax sheet that was faxed to the pharmacist. She said the pharmacist sent the medication out that night. She acknowledged the resident had an order for [REDACTED]. She said he didn't receive his morning dose but he did get his night dose. She said his BP that morning was 143/93. She reported there wasn't a place on the MAR in the computer to document the BP so they would have to put it in the nurses' notes. She reviewed the nurses' notes dated 3/6/12 and acknowledged the BP wasn't recorded in the note. S4LPN reported that she didn't notify the physician that the medication was not given Tuesday morning. She said she was not sure if she had to report it to the physician. On 3/9/12 at 10:00 a.m., in an interview with S3ADON she revealed that the medication cards had a blue strip over the last few medicines on the card. She said that when the medicines got to the blue area then the nurse would pull the label from the card and fax it to the pharmacy. She added that when the medication was delivered by the pharmacy it would be placed on the medication cart or in the medication room. S3ADON also said that if the nurse saw that the medication had not came in from the pharmacy she should call the pharmacy. She also said that if a nurse didn't have a medication for the resident, and it had not been delivered by the pharmacy she could call the local pharmacy and get enough medicine for the patient until the medication was received from the facility pharmacy. She reported the nurse should have notified the physician that the medication was not given as ordered.

She stated that S12Treatment Nurse informed her that there was supposed to be something that triggered if the resident had a weight loss in the system. She stated that if a resident had a weight loss, S12Treatment Nurse would have to tell her because she does not keep up with weights. She said that she had not noticed a drastic change in Resident #78's weight because she was the same size when she started in February and therefore she never notified the physician or the family.

She stated that on 3/2/12, she informed S3ADON and S10CNA Supervisor that the resident was not eating. She stated that S10CNA Supervisor told her that she would inform S16LPN to check the resident for an impaction. On 3/7/12 at 4:18 p.m. an interview was conducted with S18LPN. She stated that Resident #78 was fed by the CNAs; but she was not a big eater. She said that the resident occasionally resisted the staff. She stated that the CNAs could not get the resident to eat all the time. She stated that she did not notify the doctor that the resident was not eating and resisted staff, because it was not a new problem. She stated that she was not aware of Resident #78 losing weight . She stated that when the CNAs got the weights, they give the weights to S12Treatment Nurse. She stated that S12Treatment Nurse informed her that there was supposed to be something that triggered if the resident had a weight loss in the system. She stated that if a resident had a weight loss, S12Treatment Nurse would have to tell her because she does not keep up with weights. She said that she had not noticed a drastic change in Resident #78's weight because she was the same size when she started in February and therefore she never notified the physician or the family. She stated that the staff who trained her told her that when the resident refuses to eat, check her for an impaction because she was constipated and needed an enema and that was what she normally did when the resident did not eat. Review of Resident #78's Physician's Progress Notes for 8/31/11, 10/5/11, 12/14/11 and 2/11/12 revealed no documented evidence that the physician addressed Resident #78's weight loss problems. Further review of the Physician's Progress Notes revealed that the resident's weight and vital signs had been left blank each time the physician visited Resident #78 at the facility. On 3/8/12 at 10:17 a.m. an interview was conducted with S16LPN. She stated that on 3/6/12, before the resident fell , she was not going to send the resident out to the hospital. She stated that the reason she called the doctor was to clarify an order that had been written to obtain 3 stools to check for occult blood. She further stated that she could not get the first stool sample and wanted to know what the physician wanted her to do. She stated after Resident #78 fell out of the chair, they put her in the bed and she noticed that the resident had a decreased blood pressure, O2 saturation was low @ 86% on room air. She had decreased level of consciousness and she was holding her abdominal area, exhibiting signs of pain. On 3/8/12 at 3:30 p.m. an interview was conducted with S1Administrator, S2DON, S3ADON and S12Treatment Nurse. S12Treatment Nurse stated that she was aware of the weight on 3/5/12 in the evening time. She stated that she asked for a reweigh on 3/6/12 because the resident weighed 79.3 lbs and she wanted to make sure that was the correct weight. She verified that the resident's physician was not notified and no new interventions were put in place and that the resident should have been put on weekly weights per protocol when she triggered in January 2012 for a 1 month 6.8 lb weight loss and a 6 month 18 lb weight loss. S1Administrator, S2DON, S3ADON and S12Treatment Nurse confirmed that the facility "dropped the ball" regarding the resident's gradual weight loss and agreed that it should have been recognized by the facility. On 3/8/12 at 4:02 p.m. an interview was conducted with S3ADON and S2DON. S3ADON verified no one was assigned to ensure the CNAs accurately entered the ADL documentation into the computer. She further stated there was no one assigned to oversee that the documentation entered was sufficient to meet the residents food and fluid needs. S3ADON and S2DON both verified that some of the documentation was missing that was entered into the Kias system regarding the resident's meals and fluids. On 3/9/12 at 9:00 a.m. an interview was conducted with S14CNA. She stated that she weighed the resident Monday 3/5/12, after she ate lunch, using a standing scale and was assisted by S15CNA. She said the resident weighed 79 lbs. After she finished weighing the other residents on the hall, she came back and told S16LPN that the resident weighed 79 pounds. She stated that S16LPN found documentation of what Resident #78's normal weight was and asked her to reweigh the resident. She stated that she and S10CNA Supervisor reweighed the resident on the lift scale later that evening. She informed S16LPN that the resident weighed 80 lbs. She stated that she knew the resident was not weighed on 3/6/12 because that's when the resident went to the hospital. On 3/9/12 at 9:05 a.m. an interview was conducted with S16LPN. She stated the resident was weighed on Tuesday 3/6/12 the day the resident went out to the hospital. She stated that she had no knowledge of what the resident's reweight was. She said she did not document anything regarding the resident's weight when she was weighed the first time or that she notified the physician of the resident's 24.83% 1 month weight loss. On 3/9/12 at 9:10 a.m. an interview was conducted with S14CNA. She stated that, maybe she was wrong about when she weighed the resident on 3/6/12 after lunch. She stated that she remembered getting S15CNA to help her weigh the resident. She stated that after she gave S16LPN the weight on 3/6/12, S16LPN asked her to reweigh Resident #78 again and she reweighed her with S14CNA. She said that after she reweighed her, she gave the reweight of 80 lbs to S16LPN. On 3/9/12 at 9:40 a.m. an interview was conducted with S16LPN. She confirmed that she did have knowledge that the resident's reweight was 80 lbs, but that it must have been after the resident left the facility. On 3/9/12 at 12:40 p.m. an interview was conducted with S15CNA. She stated that she helped S14CNA weigh the resident on Tuesday, 3/6/12, around 10 a.m. or 11 a.m. On 3/9/12 at 1:55 p.m. an interview was conducted with S14CNA. She stated that the day S12Treatment Nurse brought them the weight sheets, was when they got the weights. She stated that she weighed everybody on the same day for monthly weights, but she did not know exactly what day it was done. On 3/9/12 at 2:12 p.m. an interview was conducted with S10CNA Supervisor. She stated that the CNAs do the monthly weights the 1st Monday of every month. She stated that she was not at work Monday, March 5, 2012. She confirmed that the CNAs obtained a paper from S12Treatment Nurse with everybody's name on it, they put the weights on it, and gave the form back to S12Treatment Nurse. On 3/9/12 at 2:30 p.m. an interview was conducted with S2DON. She confirmed that the resident weighed 122 lbs on August 1, 2011 and on November 7, 2011 the resident weighed 111 lbs; resulting in a 9% weight loss. She confirmed that when the resident was weighed on 1/2/12, she weighed 104 lbs which was a 6.3% weight loss from November. She also confirmed that the resident weighed 105. 5 lbs on 2/6/12. She confirmed the 3/5/12 weight was 79.3 lbs which resulted in a 24.83% weight loss in 1 month. She verified that the facility had not put any interventions in place to ensure that the resident did not continue to lose weight. She confirmed that the NAS pureed diet with pudding bid ordered on [DATE] was not an intervention because the resident was already on a Regular Pureed diet with pudding bid as noted on the RD's Annual Nutrition Assessment on 2/18/11. She stated that pudding bid was not a new intervention because the pudding was used as a way to get the resident to eat. She said the staff found out that the resident loved to eat sweet things. She verified that the resident did not have an RD consult regarding the resident's weight loss and that she was not put on weekly weights per protocol once she triggered twice in the month of January for a 6.14% weight loss for 1 month and a 6 month 14.75% weight loss. She confirmed that there was no documented evidence that the physician was aware of the resident's gradual weight loss.
