According to state investigators, “the facility did not notify the resident representative when there was a significant change in the resident’s physical, mental or psychosocial status and” the resident’s “Guardian was not immediately notified when [the resident] was discovered missing from the facility.”
The surveyors reviewed the resident’s MDS (Minimum Data Set) Assessment dated January 3, 2018, that indicated the cognitively intact resident “did not have wandering behaviors. The facility completed a smoking assessment [and determined that the resident] was safe to go to the facility smoking area independently.”
A review of the resident’s Progress Notes and the facility’s investigation into the elopement of the resident noted that the resident “was not found in her bed during rounds at 12:15 AM on March 25, 2018. The facility staff called [the Nursing Home Administrator] at about 2:30 AM, who instructed the staff to notify [the resident’s] Guardian and the police.”
The survey team interviewed the resident “about her leaving the facility on March 24, 2018.” The resident stated that “she called a friend to come and get her at the facility, and that they came and got her at around 8:00 PM.” The resident stated that “she did not speak to anyone at the facility before she left.”
The surveyors interviewed the resident’s Guardian concerning the resident’s elopement on that date. The Guardian stated that “she had her phone off [during the night], and it was recharging. She stated that the police came to her house on March 25, 2018, at about 4:00 AM to notify her to call the facility where [the resident] was protectively placed.”
The resident’s Guardian stated that the facility staff told her that the resident was missing after the 11:30 PM rounds and she was concerned that there was no call placed to her until the following day at 2:30 AM. The surveyors asked the Nursing Home Administrator if the facility should have notified the Guardian earlier. The Administrator responded that the staff was looking for the resident at that time and were “following the facility’s policy from a missing resident.”
