F689J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on facility policy review, observation, staff interview, facility documentation review, and clinical record review, it was determined that the facility failed to provide an environment and adequate supervision to prevent accidents related to elopement (unauthorized departure from the facility), resulting in actual harm and death for one of four sampled residents. This failure resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy situation (Resident CL1). Findings include: Review of the facility policy entitled, Skilled Nursing Admission Staff Assignment, written March 4, 2021, noted, Prior to or upon admission of a resident to Willowbrooke Court, the Nursing Supervisor will assign the new resident to a nurse and a certified nursing assistant immediately. If the nursing supervisor is unavailable, it is the responsibility of the charge nurse on that neighborhood to make the assignment. At the beginning of each shift the Nursing Supervisor, or Charge Nurse will ensure that all residents have an assigned nurse and certified nursing assistant. During an interview on March 4, 2021, the Director of Nursing (DON) reported that, although not a written policy, this was a procedure in place prior to February 27, 2021. Clinical record review revealed that Resident CL1 had diagnoses that included a history of falling, [CONDITION(S)] ([CONDITION(S)]) and collapse, hearing loss in both ears, difficulty in walking, lack of coordination, generalized muscle weakness, and altered mental status and was admitted to the facility (room 15) from the hospital on February 27, 2021. During an interview on March 4, 2021, at 10:00 a.m., the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) reported that admission time was approximately 8:00 p.m. The resident had a physician's order for a regular diet. Medications ordered by the physician on February 27, 2021, included the following to be given in the morning: aspirin EC 81 milligrams (mg) for [CONDITION(S)] (narrowing of the exit of the left ventricle of the heart), [MEDICATION(S)] 25mg .5 tab for [CONDITION(S)] (high blood pressure), and [MEDICATION(S)] 40 mg for GERD (occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the tube connecting the mouth and stomach). A fall risk evaluation completed on February 27, 2021, noted that Resident CL1 was at high risk for falls and had intermittent confusion, poor vision, a history of falling in the past month, and gait problems requiring the use of an assistive device. Clinical record review revealed that the resident's vital signs had been recorded at 3:30 a.m. and a treatment had been administered to the left heel at 3:50 a.m. Documentation by a nurse aide (NA1) dated March 2, 2021, noted that the employee had Resident CL1 on her assignment until 7:00 a.m. on February 28, 2021, and last observed the resident during the time of her rounds which started at 5:00 a.m and ended at 6:30 a.m. Review of nursing schedule assignments for the 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. (day) shift on February 28, 2021, revealed that no nurse aide had been assigned to Resident CL1's room (15). During an interview on March 4, 2021, the DON confirmed that the resident was not included in the nurse aide assignments for the day shift on February 28, 2021. There was no documentation in the clinical record to support that the resident was observed after 6:30 a.m., that morning medications were administered, or that the breakfast meal was offered to her. Observation on March 4, 2021, revealed that resident room 15, previously occupied by Resident CL1, was located adjacent to the meeting/dining room which contained two sets of exterior doors leading to a patio, walkway, and the parking lot. The NHA reported that staff were using those doors to enter and exit the building. Review of the facility incident report revealed that the resident was noted as missing from her room on February 28, 2021, at 9:20 a.m. (A written statement by the assigned Registered Nurse (RN1), dated February 28, 2021, indicated that the resident was identified to be missing at 9:10 a.m. to 9:15 a.m.) There was no evidence that the facility had provided any level of supervision to the resident or visual checks since 6:30 a.m. Documentation revealed that the resident was found at 9:41 a.m., behind a storage container in the parking lot. She was laying on her right side on a sheet on the ground wearing an incontinence brief and no other clothing, outerwear, or footwear. It was noted that upon assessment, the resident, had no vital signs, was cool to the touch, and had abrasions to both shins. Observation of the location on March 4, 2021, revealed that it was at the end of the walkway leading from the patio outside the meeting/dining room. During an interview on March 4, 2021, the NHA reported that the autopsy findings indicated the resident's cause of death was hypothermia (the condition of having an abnormally low body temperature, typically one that is dangerously low) due to exposure (cold conditions). On March 4, 2021, at 6:10 p.m., the NHA, the DON, and the Regional Clinical Director were notified that the failure to provide an environment and adequate supervision to prevent accidents constituted an Immediate Jeopardy situation at F689-J, and the Immediate Jeopardy template was provided. The facility was informed that a corrective action plan was required. The facility presented an acceptable action plan for removal of the Immediate Jeopardy on March 4, 2021, at 7:09 p.m. The facility's action plan contained the following: 1. An inservice training was conducted on March 2, 2021, by the DON and the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) with nursing staff to review the elopement policy, wandering assessment, the nurse aide report from the charge nurse each shift, walking rounds between the outgoing and incoming nurse/sign out sheet to be completed with signatures (staff are to walk room to room to observe every resident at the beginning and end of each shift), being on time for a scheduled shift, observation and charting for all new admissions for the first nine shifts, and nurse aide schedule updates to reflect all occupied resident rooms. As of March 4, 2021, 98 percent of nursing staff had been educated. The remaining staff members were on leave. Staff not educated will remain off of the schedule until training has been completed. 2. Director of Physical Plant Services, or designee, will change access codes on all alarm pads on exit doors monthly beginning March 5, 2021. (Codes were changed March 4, 2021) Codes will be changed the first Monday of each month. All security and staff will be educated on the key pads and codes. Security is available on the premises 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Audits of the doors started on March 1, 2021, and an outside contractor provided an audit of the doors on March 2, 2021. 3. The nursing supervisor or charge nurse will conduct rounds of resident rooms at the start of each shift to ensure the safety of each resident. 4. The ADON or nursing supervisor will ensure that nurse aides will receive a verbal report from the charge nurse at the beginning of each shift. 5. The DON or the ADON will ensure that there is a shift-to-shift report between professional nurses at the start of each shift. 6. The DON, or designee, will ensure that all staff are aware of the assignment of new admissions. This will be directed by the nursing supervisor. 7. An audit was completed for every resident to ensure that wander risk assessments were current and accurate. 8. The charge nurse will ensure that resident Wanderguard pendants (a security apparatus worn by an at risk resident that prevents doors from opening to prevent elopement when the resident is nearby) are checked for placement every shift. The functionality is checked weekly. 9. Security and maintenance staff have been educated on inspection of door alarms. 10. Alarms were installed on interior doors leading into the dining rooms on March 3, 2021. Training will be provided to all departments by the NHA, or designee, on the operation of the alarms. Training is in progress and will be completed no later than March 8, 2021. 11. Security/maintenance staff will inspect operation of all door alarms on each shift. This will be ongoing and results will be evaluated and reviewed through the facility QAPI (Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement) process. 12. Staff are no longer permitted to use the meeting/dining room doors to enter/exit the building. All staff must use the main entrance doors and are required to use a key code to enter and exit. Signs have been posted and staff members have been educated. 13. The NHA will review all of the above areas as part of the facility's QAPI program. The survey team validated that the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on March 5, 2021, at 2:00 p.m., through observation, interviewing staff post inservice training, and review of facility policies and procedures following the facility's implementation of the plan of removal of the Immediate Jeopardy. The deficient practice remained at a D (isolated with potential for more than minimal harm) scope and severity following the removal of the Immediate Jeopardy. 483.12(d)(1)(2) Free of Accident Hazards/Supervision/Devices 28 Pa.
