Inspection Findings

F-Tag F657

Harm Level: Minimal harm or touching assistance for walking.
Residents Affected: Some further assessment is needed). Interventions recommended included elopement deterrent device

F-F657. The facility failed to revise Resident (R)1's care plan following an incident of actual elopement and unsafe wandering (wandering into other residents' rooms).

The facility submitted an Event Report on 12/06/24 at 08:30 PM regarding Resident R1's elopement. On 12/06/24, Resident R1 was found outside near fence in back of unit. Resident R1's WanderGuard (a system that provides wander management for those at risk of elopement) bracelet reportedly was in place and functioning at the start of

the shift. No alarms were heard.

The final report was submitted on 12/10/24 at 02:35 PM. The facility clarified, Resident R1 was found outside of the building behind the activities center. The House Supervisor saw the WanderGuard alert on another unit (North) and notified Resident R1's unit (Pikake). Another staff member saw Resident R1 from the window of another unit (Ilima) and notified the Pikake unit. The facility's investigation found the door to enter the activities department from

the Pikake unit was not locked and Resident R1 was able to enter the room and access the emergency exit door at the rear of the building. The emergency exit door is equipped with a locking mechanism that will allow the exit door to open after being held for 15 seconds.

On 01/13/25 at 10:50 AM record review was done. Resident R1 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED]. Diagnoses include but not limited to unspecified dementia, unspecified severity with anxiety; unspecified dementia, unspecified severity with agitation; nondisplaced intertrochanteric fracture of left femur (routine healing); cognitive communication deficit; aphasia (a language disorder that makes it difficult to understand or express language); and anxiety disorder.

F 0689 Review of quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 10/21/24 notes Resident R1 has severe cognitive impairment and was coded for wandering behavior. Resident R1 requires supervision or Level of Harm - Minimal harm or touching assistance for walking. potential for actual harm

A review of the Elopement Risk Evaluation dated 10/24/24 documents Resident R1's risk score was 5 (high risk - Residents Affected - Some further assessment is needed). Interventions recommended included elopement deterrent device implemented and elopement prevention care plan initiated or updated. Subsequent assessment dated [DATE REDACTED] (following actual elopement), Resident R1's risk score was 3 (moderate risk - improvement) with intervention recommended for elopement prevention care plan initiated or updated.

Review of Resident R1's care plan for behavioral symptoms with a start date of 11/09/22 identifies Resident R1 has depression and agitation and may demonstrate the following challenging behaviors: agitation, restlessness, anxiety, wandering exit seeking behaviors, entering other resident's room, and refusal of care. An approach with start date of 08/23/23 was developed for wandering. Approaches include, ask me if I need anything or offer me drink/food/toilet/lie down/activity; monitor my whereabouts; provide redirection and reorientation as needed, state what I should do, not what I should not do; follow me for safety until I can be redirected; and I was issued a WanderGuard device that locks exit door when I approach.

Other approaches include: being at risk for wandering/elopement due to cognitive impairment, refer to wandering care plan (start date 03/14/23); resident may express confusion and insist on going home, at

these times, do frequent visual checks, as I may wander off unit, flow sheet for every hour (start date of 08/01/24); I use a Wander Guard, please check the placement every shift (start date of 06/23/23); and a falls care plan to monitor resident frequently for safety, encourage to take rest periods in between walking activity, when walking, I may become agitated when staff tells me that I require assistance, encourage me to use my walker and take breaks; and if I appear restless, increase rounding until I am calm.

F 0689 On 01/13/25 at 02:11 PM, observed Resident R1 in a wheelchair, self-propelling on the unit. Did not observe staff members employing approaches for wandering. At 02:17 PM, observed Resident R1 enter room [ROOM NUMBER]. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or Resident R1 transferred herself from the wheelchair onto Bed A and laid down. At 02:30 PM observed two staff potential for actual harm members enter the room, they stood by the foot of Bed A, then exited the room. At 02:35 PM, observed Certified Nurse Aide (CNA)1 enter room [ROOM NUMBER], the curtain was drawn closed while CNA1 Residents Affected - Some assisted Resident R1 back to the wheelchair. CNA1 wheeled Resident R1 back to her room and assisted Resident R1 back to bed.

On 01/13/25 at 02:40 PM, interviewed CNA1. CNA1 confirmed Resident R1 was in the wrong room. Inquired what are

the approaches used to for Resident R1's wandering. CNA1 reported the nurses know what to do. Further queried as

an aide, what is she supposed to do, CNA1 responded she doesn't know what to do but the nurses know. CNA1 was asked how often is Resident R1's whereabouts monitored, CNA1 responded one to two hours.

On 01/14/25 at 07:50 AM interviewed the Unit Nurse (UN) at the Pikake unit in the nurses' station. Reviewed

the progress notes with the UN. Inquired about incident of 11/29/24 when staff discovered Resident R1 in a resident's room and the team decided to place a Stop banner in the doorway. UN initially could not recall the incident and later stated this entry documents Resident R1 was found in room [ROOM NUMBER] and the team agreed to place a Stop banner on the door.

Concurrent review of the progress notes documenting incidents of Resident R1 wandering into other residents' rooms was done with UN. Requested UN review the care plan for revisions after the incidents. UN was unable to confirm Resident R1's care plan approaches were revised to address wandering into other residents' rooms. Based on

the progress notes, UN was unable to identify which rooms Resident R1 wandered into and stated it isn't feasible to place Stop banners in all residents' doorways to prevent Resident R1 from entering.

Concurrent observation of room [ROOM NUMBER] was done with the UN. There was a banner affixed to the doorway which was not placed across the doorway. Inquired when does the facility use the banner, UN responded it is up to the resident.

Further review of the Treatments Administration History (TAH) for December 2024 found a flow sheet for the approach to check WanderGuard placement every shift with instruction to use (+) present and (-) not. The flow sheet for December 2024 had entries documenting the WanderGuard was not present (-) for the following dates and shifts: 12/05/24 - NOC; 12/07/24 - PM; 12/09/24 - day; 12/12/24 - PM shift; 12/15/24 - PM; 12/16/24 - PM; 12/17/24 - day; 12/17/24 - PM; 12/23/24 - PM; 12/23/24 - NOC; 12/26/24 - day; 12/26/24 - PM; and 12/27/24 - NOC.

There was also a flow sheet to monitor the following target behaviors: 1) agitation, 2) restlessness, 3) anxiety, 4) depression, 5) ambulate without assistance, 6) refuse care/treatment, and 7) poor appetite. Of the 63 opportunities to document for ambulating without assistance, there were only five entries to document Resident R1 ambulated without assistance. This documentation was inconsistent with the progress note entries which noted 17 entries of wandering on unit (ambulating without assistance) and exit seeking behavior.

Requested additional information on the morning of 01/14/25 to demonstrate the multidisciplinary team met to do root cause analysis and update Resident R1's care plan. The facility provided a grievance report from Resident R6 complaining that Resident R1 has been wandering into her room every night and was awakened to find Resident R1 staring at her. The team agreed to place a Stop banner across the Resident R6's room and nursing staff was reeducated regarding wandering residents.

The Treatments Administration History (TAH) for December 2024 and 01/01/25 through 01/14/25 found an order to monitor target behaviors, wandering and refusal of medication. There were missing entries for the following dates-shifts: 11/07/24 - day, 11/11/24 - PM, 11/18/24 - PM, 12/08/24 - day shift, 12/16/24 - day shift, 01/02/25 - day shift, and 01/02/25 - PM shift. The entry spot for Exhibited Behavior # was populated with 0s and 1s. There was also an area to document, Intensity Before, and Frequency Before. It was unclear what the numbers represented.

Further review noted missing entries to ensure functioning of WanderGuard (start date of 12/27/24) on the following dates, 12/29/24, 12/30/24, 01/03/25, 01/04/25, and 01/08/25.

On 01/14/25 at 10:20 AM, an interview with the UN was done. The UN reported the coding for exhibited behavior # is: 1 for documenting wandering behavior and 2 for refusal of medication and a 0 would indicate there were no behaviors observed.

On 01/14/25 at 11:07 AM, interviewed the Administrator and Administrator In Training (AIT). Administrator reported, she was surprised Resident R2 did not have an elopement risk and a care plan as the facility audited the chart. Administrator acknowledged the TAH for monitoring of target behaviors (wandering and refusal of medication) could be confusing and they will considering separating the two behaviors.

Review of the facility's policy and procedures entitled Wandering/Elopement Risk Assessment with original effective date of 05/0/21 notes the facility will assess all patients/residents for elopement potential in order to provide a safe and comfortable living environment. The policy includes but not limited to the following:

3) Patients/residents are re-assessed for elopement potential by the MDS Nurse/Social Service/Nurse or designee quarterly throughout a patient's/resident's stay and with a significant change.

4) Interventions will be added to the patient's/resident's care plan after analyzing the information obtained.

5) The licensed nurse or social service designee completes the Elopement Risk Evaluation and presents the information to the Interdisciplinary Team for further interventions.

3) Resident R3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED]. Diagnoses include but not limited to unspecified dementia, unspecified severity without behavior disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance and anxiety; Type 2 diabetes mellitus, and primary osteoarthritis.

F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 22063

Residents Affected - Some Based on observations, record review, and interview with staff members, the facility failed to implemented residents' care plans to eliminate risk of an accident related to wandering and elopement and monitor the effectiveness of interventions as necessary for 3 of 4 (Residents 1, 2, and 3) residents sampled.

1) Resident (R)1 had an actual elopement, the facility failed to revise the resident's care plan to develop person centered interventions, direct care staff were unaware of approaches/interventions to employ for Resident R1's wandering behavior and the wandering and exit seeking behaviors were not accurately monitored resulting in no baseline data to determine the efficacy of the interventions.

2) The facility failed to develop a care plan to prevent elopement for Resident R2 with wandering behaviors prior to the start of the survey. The facility also did not implement or accurately document care plan approaches for monitoring the function of WanderGuard once a day and the targeted behaviors (wandering and refusal of medications).

3) The facility did not implement Resident R3's care plan to assure an elopement assessment was done quarterly. The facility also did not recognize an elopement incident, resulting in no assessment of the incident and need for care plan revision.
