Complaint: 2600629, 2601350Based on interviews, medical records review, and review of other pertinent facility documentation on 8/29/2025 and 9/02/2025, it was determined that the facility failed to report a resident elopement to the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH). This deficient practice was identified for 1 of 3 sampled residents (Resident #1) and was evidenced by the following: According to Resident #1's admission Record (AR), the resident was admitted to the facility with diagnoses that included but was not limited to: vascular dementia with mood disorder (commonly known as memory and thinking problems caused by poor blood flow to the brain along with mood changes). A review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS), an assessment tool dated 8/21/2025, revealed that Resident #1 had a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 12 out of 15, which indicated the resident had a moderately impaired cognitive status. A review of the Progress Notes (PN) included a Nursing Note dated 8/22/2025 at 7:18 P.M., that the nurse saw Resident #1 around 3:10 P.M., well dressed with cellphone in hand. At 3:15 P.M., when the nurse returned from the end of the hallway, the resident stated they wanted to sit outside. The nurse said okay, and documented that the physician was informed to get an out on pass order. Unfortunately, [the resident] decided to walk away from the building while out on pass and police found [the resident] away from the building. [The resident] was accompanied by the police to the police precinct. The Director of Nursing (DON) and the writer were contacted. Due to a syncopal (loss of consciousness) episode at the police precinct, [the resident] had to be transferred to the emergency room for evaluation. A review of the facility's undated REPORT OF INVESTIGATION revealed under 6. Conclusion of investigation: It was concluded that [Resident #1] who is alert and oriented BIMS 12 verbalized desire to go for a walk and sit outside for a while. Order for Out on Pass obtained and signed by [Resident #1] .During out on pass [they] walked away.Returned to facility later in the evening, safe. Body check done, no signs of injury. Wander guard was placed on [Resident #1] for extra safety. Care plan updated.During an interview on 8/29/2025 at 1:14 P.M., with the Licensed Nursing Home Administrator (LNHA) and DON, the surveyor asked if the elopement was reported to the NJDOH. The DON stated that after reviewing the incident they determined that reporting to
the NJDOH was not necessary since they had a physician's order and an out on pass signed.A review of
the medical record did not include a physician's order at the time of the incident for the resident to go out on pass unescorted. A review of the facility's policy titled ACCIDENTS/INCIDENTS INVESTIGATION PROCESS dated 6/05/25, revealed under REPORTABLE EVENTS that The results of all investigations will be reported to the administration of his or her designated representative and to other officials in accordance with State law, including the State Agencies, within 5 working days of the incident with appropriate corrective action taken as a result of the investigation.NJAC 8:39-9.4(f)
