According to investigators, “the facility failed to provide adequate supervision to prevent the elopement of one cognitively impaired resident who exhibited exit seeking behaviors. This [failure] resulted in Immediate Jeopardy when [the resident] eloped from the facility on September 1, 2018.”
The surveyors determine that “the likelihood of serious harm or injury occurred when the resident was found approximately three and a half miles away from the facility in the evening of September 1, 2018, having traveled winding country roads in the rain and darkness and was returned to the facility by the local sheriff department.”
The negligent actions by the nursing staff and administration affected one resident “reviewed for elopement. The facility identified five residents at risk for development.” The surveyors determined that the Immediate Jeopardy began on September 1, 2018 “at approximately 7:15 PM, when [the resident], who had previously exhibited exit-seeking behaviors, was last seen and subsequently exit at the facility without the staff knowledge.”
The staff “failed to investigate the sounding of the door alarms and failed to search the grounds for the cause of the alarms sounding.” At 9:30 PM, the local sheriff’s department return the residents at the facility who was then placed on one to one supervision. The resident “was reassessed for the risk of wandering and elopement and determined to be at high risk for elopement.”
The nursing home “failed to ensure [a resident’s] Physician and family were properly notified of decreased oral intake and avoidable weight loss sustained by the resident.”
The investigation involved a severely, cognitively impaired resident who requires “supervision and was set up with assistance at meals, had no significant weight changes, had a feeding tube and receive less than 25% of nutritional needs through the feeding tube.” The resident was eating a “mechanically altered diet.”
The resident exhibited a 7.6% weight loss between March 23, 2017, and June 19, 2017. The Unit Nurse Manager confirmed that “the resident’s Physician’s and family were not notified of the resident’s weight loss that occurred on June 19, 2017.”
