F 0867 Preventing deviation from care processes, to the extent possible.
Level of Harm - Immediate Identifying issues and concerns with facility systems, as well as identifying opportunities for Improvement; jeopardy to resident health or and safety Developing and implementing plans to correct and/or improve identified areas. Residents Affected - Few
On [DATE REDACTED] at 10:15 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Administrator and the Director of Nursing (DON) to review the incident investigation related to Resident #999's unsafe wandering and elopement, the root cause analysis and systemic corrective actions implemented to prevent recurrence.
The DON verified on [DATE REDACTED] at approximately 11:00 a.m., the resident's son called the facility to speak with her. He reported Resident #999 had been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder (mood swings ranging from depressive lows to manic highs) and paranoia (overly suspicious and thinking others are out to harm you). Resident #999 told his son there was going to be a war, they needed to take cover and to come and get him.
She verified on [DATE REDACTED], the Psychiatric Advanced Practice Registered Nurse assessed Resident #999 and re-ordered the antipsychotic Risperdal which had been discontinued in [DATE REDACTED].
She also verified on [DATE REDACTED] at approximately 5:15 p.m., law enforcement called and informed the facility Resident #999 had called them and claimed he was under attack and needed to be evacuated.
The DON verified Resident #999's risk for elopement was not re-evaluated and the care plan was not updated with nonpharmacological interventions, including adequate supervision to maintain the resident's safety and prevent unsafe wandering and elopement.
The Administrator and the DON said on [DATE REDACTED] the facility immediately initiated an investigation, held QAPI meetings to discuss the root cause of Resident #999's elopement, and corrective actions as appropriate to prevent further incidents of unsafe wandering and elopement of cognitively impaired residents.
The DON said after the elopement, she interviewed staff and was not able to determine the root cause of the elopement. She said, The Root cause of the event was inconclusive per our findings because we do not have all the facts yet. We did not know where the resident was found. Once we found out all the information,
we concluded it was not verified as he had no behaviors, and he had no elopement history. We did not provide that level of supervision because he did not need it and we did not substantiate the incident. The DON added she did not know the resident required that level of supervision. She said she assessed the resident on [DATE REDACTED] and [DATE REDACTED]. She did not document her assessment and Resident #999 did not need any higher level of monitoring or a wander alert bracelet (alerts staff when a resident leaves a determined safe area).
The Administrator said the facility could not reach a conclusion due to Resident #999's pending autopsy result to determine the cause of death. He said they had no way of knowing the resident was an elopement risk despite the resident's son and law enforcement alerting them of the resident's voiced intent to leave the facility as he believed he was under attack and needed to take cover.

He said Resident #999 died of natural causes. On [DATE REDACTED] law enforcement came to check on Resident #999 when he called them to say
he was under attack and requested assistance to leave the facility. They did not recommend increased supervision of the resident.
On [DATE REDACTED] at 10:44 a.m., in an interview the Regional Director said the staff did their due diligence in monitoring Resident #999. She said a change of behavior and a change in medication were the same thing.

I told her they needed to take precautions and adjust his medications. He was hallucinating thinking people were going to kill him. I told them he would try and find a way out of the facility.
The son said his father had Dementia; the facility should have monitored him.
