F 0686 On 03/03/2025 at 10:40 AM, interviewed CNA2, who confirmed that they check residents with PUs every two hours for bowel and bladder elimination and reposition them every two hours. CNA2 verified that they Level of Harm - Minimal harm or document these tasks in the ADLs section in the I-pad. Surveyor asked CNA2, to open up Resident R2's chart to see if potential for actual harm documentation was noted for repositioning. Documentation showed repositioning on 03/25/2025. CNA2 was asked to show if documentation for repositioning was completed on 03/24/2025, and she confirmed that Residents Affected - Some there was none as she wasn't assigned to Resident R2 yesterday. CNA2 checked another date, 03/11/2025 to see if documentation on repositioning was done by another CNA, but record showed none were documented. It was confirmed that the documentation for positioning started on 03/24/2025. CNA2 went on to note that the CNAs should be documenting every day.
On 03/25/2025 at 01:30 PM, interview with Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the importance of every two hours repositioning for residents with PUs and agreed there should be documentation of the task being done. DON also confirmed that there were no tasks triggered for the repositioning for both Resident R1 and Resident R2 upon admission but will do so to improve the process moving forward.
5) On 03/25/2025 at 01:45 PM, record review of the facility's Repositioning policy, with a revised date of May 2013, documented under General guidelines, states, 1. Repositioning is a common, effective intervention for preventing skin breakdown, promoting circulation, and providing pressure relief.3. Repositioning is critical for
a resident who is immobile or dependent upon staff for repositioning.5. Positioning the resident on an existing pressure ulcer should be avoided since it puts additional pressure on tissue that is already compromised and may impede healing. Also noted in the same policy under the Documentation section, notes, The following should be recorded in the resident's medical record: 1. The position in which the resident was placed. This may be on a flow sheet. 2. The name of the individual who gave the care.7. The signature and title of the person recording the data. These policy statements were not followed by the facility.

F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 39853 Residents Affected - Few Based on interviews, medical record review and document review, the facility failed to provide adequate supervision of one Resident (R)3 of three residents sampled that were high risk of elopement. Resident R3 eloped on 02/09/2025 and suffered harm. When she was found, she was taken to the hospital where she was treated for abrasions from a fall and discharged back to the facility. The facility met the following three criteria for past non-compliance 1) Not in compliance with the regulatory requirement at the time the situation occurred; 2) The noncompliance occurred after the exit date of the last recertification and 3) There is evidence that the facility corrected the noncompliance and is in substantial compliant at the time of this survey.
Findings include:
1) The Office of Healthcare Assurance received an initial facility reported incident (ACTS # 11488) on 02/10/2025 regarding an elopement. The report included the following information:
-Resident R3 initially admitted to facility on 01/10/2025 for skilled nursing facility services after a hospital admission following an unwitnessed fall with acute traumatic injury of CSpine (C3-C4), Unsteady gait, Multilevel degenerative changes of C-spine, Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease and dementia. Resident R3 is pleasant, alert, oriented to self, forgetful of place/situation, able to verbalize needs and understands others, and able to walk with a front wheel walker with supervision. Resident R3 had nondirectable exit seeking behavior on 1/12/2025 and a wanderguard bracelet was determined to be the least restrictive device.
-On 2/9/2025 at 4pm [sic] Resident R3 was unable to be found on the facility property and staff initiated the missing resident procedure. The resident was found by a good Samaritan on [NAME] Avenue (several blocks away in high traffic area) and had taken Resident R3 to .ER for evaluation. Resident R3 sustained a minor skin injury on bilateral knees, right elbow, and palm. She returned to the facility accompanied by facility Administrator on 2/9/2025 at 9:22Pm .
-Resident R3's wanderguard bracelet was noted in good working condition by day shift RN. On evening shift, RN noted Resident R3's wanderguard triggered by elevator, staff escorted her away, and RN administered medications at 3:26pm. CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant) then escorted her to the dining room to participate in activities. Activity staff were aware resident was in the dining room, but did not observe Resident R3 walking out of the dining room. At 4:00pm, RN started looking for resident to give her next scheduled medication. He looked in the dining room and her room, and resident was not found. Staff began missing resident procedure at approximately 4:10pm. Staff contacted the administrator soon after and called 911.
-Upon Resident R3's return to the facility, the facility Administrator and Nursing Supervisor tested the wanderguard bracelet on Resident R3's right ankle and found that the wanderguard bracelet is faulty. The wander guard bracelet did not trigger the elevator door until the Administrator was right in front of the elevator door and called for the elevator. A new wanderguard bracelet was immediately tested and .placed on resident.

4) The facility is a three story building located on a busy street. There is one entrance/exit to the street and another to the parking garage. The first floor has a very small lobby with one elevator. All Residents live on
the second and third floor. The only exits from the Resident floors are the elevator and the fire exit doors/stairs.
On 03/25/2025 at approximately 10:30 AM, conducted a facility tour with maintenance staff (MS) and the Administrator (ADM). At that time, interviewed MS, who described their audit process for ensuring the equipment is working. Observed that all exits had the WanderGuard System in place, which was tested by maintenance with surveyor present.
At the time of survey, there were eight residents that had been assessed to be at risk of elopement, who had
the WanderGuard bracelets on. A random sample of three Residents were selected and maintenance staff accompanied surveyor and demonstrated and checked the bracelets with a handheld device. All three bracelets were functioning. Reviewed the Maintenance Audit tools completed once/week from February to current and confirmed Resident R4 had been on the list and the new Resident had been added the day the WanderGuard was put on. The tool included: Resident Room, date of expiration, did the elevator alarm activate, did the elevator door lock, did the exit door alarm activate, did the exit door lock, keypad working and alarm cleared, and any alarm delay less than 2-4 ft of the elevator or door noted.
Reviewed all Resident's with WanderGuard to confirm there was a Provider order. Some orders were specific to monitor the bracelet six times a day. This is a shared task between the Nurses and CNA's. Record
Review revealed compliance with monitoring on all Resident's. The monitoring includes Wanderguard Monitor placement and quality of device. Monitor skin integrity of resident.
Confirmed education on Wandering and Elopement, Resident Safety, and Policy had been completed for all staff
In summary, there was sufficient evidence of compliance at the time of survey.
