F 0656 Further review of the investigation found that when Resident R2 exited the locked unit without supervision, she traveled approximately 120 feet from the exit door before she tripped and fell in the grassy area. The Level of Harm - Immediate investigation determined that Resident R2 exited the facility during an annual inspection of the sprinkler system when jeopardy to resident health or the fire monitoring system was interrupted and unlocked the exit doors on the gated community (locked unit). safety The investigation found that staff did not realize the exit doors would not alarm/were silenced when the sprinkler system was tested , and as a result, the resident could exit the facility without staff knowledge.

the challenges of their behaviors.

In an interview on [DATE REDACTED] at 12:00 PM, the current Director of Nursing (DON) and Administrator stated they both would expect staff to implement the care plan interventions as per policy and stated the facility has not encountered any resident elopements since Resident R2's in 2023.

F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 45113 safety Based on observation, interview, record review, and facility document and policy review, it was determined Residents Affected - Few the facility failed to provide adequate monitoring and supervision to prevent elopements for one (Resident (R) 2) of four sampled residents reviewed for elopement risk out of a total sample of 14 residents. On [DATE REDACTED], Resident R2 exited the facility without staff knowledge during a time period in which the facility's wander guard system (door alarm system used to alert staff of a resident's attempts to leave the facility) was not functioning. The facility's failure to have an effective system to ensure each resident received adequate supervision and monitoring to prevent elopements caused or is likely to cause serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident.

The findings include:

Review of the facility's policy, Safety and Supervision of Residents, dated [DATE REDACTED], revised [DATE REDACTED], and in effect at the time of the [DATE REDACTED] elopement, revealed the facility was to ensure the safety and well-being of

the residents and that the environment was as free from accident hazards as possible, which was a facility-wide priority. The policy review revealed that resident safety risks and environmental hazards would be identified through employee training, monitoring, and reporting processes. In addition, the policy stated that safety risks and environmental hazards would also be identified continuously through the Quality Assurance (QA) reviews of safety and incident/accident data and a facility-wide commitment to safety at all levels of the organization.

Continued review of the policy revealed individualized, resident-appropriate care was a core component of

the facility's systems approach to safety, and each resident's assessed individualized needs determined the type and frequency of resident supervision. The Interdisciplinary Care Team analyzed information from assessments and observations to identify specific risks for individual residents and target interventions to reduce related environmental hazards, including adequate supervision. Further, individualized, resident-centered approach to safety included implementing interventions to reduce accident risks and hazards that included communicating specific interventions to all relevant staff, assigning responsibility for carrying out interventions, providing training as necessary, ensuring interventions were implemented, and documenting and monitoring the effectiveness of the interventions.

A review of the facility's policy, Elopement, dated [DATE REDACTED], revised [DATE REDACTED], and in effect at the time of the [DATE REDACTED] elopement, revealed the policy intended to ensure resident safety and protect their rights and dignity.

The policy defined Elopement as any situation where a resident leaves the premises or a safe area without

the facility's knowledge and supervision. Per the policy, residents would be evaluated for elopement risk upon admission, displaying exit-seeking behaviors, and preventative interventions implemented for those identified as an elopement risk and reevaluated as needed. In addition, the facility would ensure an elopement risk binder was kept at a secure location known to stakeholders and routine checks of entrance and exit doors were completed to ensure proper functioning.

Review of the facility's Elopement Binder, last updated [DATE REDACTED], revealed 22 current residents were at risk for elopement.

Continued review of the investigation report revealed the Director of Nursing (DON) assessed Resident R2 and assisted her back into the facility for transfer to the emergency room (ER) for evaluation. Resident R2 returned from

the hospital with no injuries noted and was immediately placed on additional supervision/monitoring. The investigation found that Resident R2 exited the facility during the sprinkler system's annual inspection when the fire monitoring system was interrupted, which unlocked the exit doors on the gated community (locked unit). Staff did not realize the exit doors would not alarm/were silenced, and a resident could exit the facility. Per the investigation, Resident R2 exited the locked unit and traveled approximately 120 feet from the exit door toward the main road when she tripped and fell in the grassy area.

KMA7 stated she had to try to gather all the mobile residents and those already up in their wheelchairs into the dayroom to monitor and supervise the residents while CNA8 was at lunch and was unaware that Resident R2 had eloped through the unalarmed door until she was found outside the facility.
