- Failure to Develop a Complete Care Plan That Meets All the Resident’s Needs with Timetables and Actions That Can Be Measured – citation #F279 date August 3, 2016
The state investigators determined that “the facility staff failed to initiate comprehensive individualized care plans for residents with the possibility of elopement and smoking.” This finding “was evident in [five residents reviewed] during the investigation of a [valid] facility-reported complaint.”
The survey team reviewed the resident’s clinical record on August 3, 2016. The records revealed that the resident “had a smoking evaluation performed on April 28, 2016. This finding was identified during a complaint investigation [MD 322] and is determined to be valid.” Before the resident’s “elopement [wandering away] on April 25, 2016, a smoking assessment and Care Plan was not completed despite Physician’s Notes saying the resident was a current smoker.”
The facility initiated a Care Plan on May 2, 2016, “with the focus that the patient may smoke with supervision per the smoking assessment. However, there were no goals or interventions evident to complete the Care Plan [that was] not comprehensive nor individualized for [the resident].”
The clinical record dated August 3, 2016, revealed that the resident “had an elopement evaluation performed on May 11, 2016, which revealed a resident was at risk for elopement from the facility.” On that day, the facility staff placed a Wander Guard device on the resident “to alert facility staff that the resident exited the building. However, the assessment did not result in a Comprehensive Plan of Care at that time.”
A Nursing Note dated June 17, 2016, revealed that a second resident “was observed on different occasions wheeling [themselves] toward the front door area after coming from the activity room.” Even so, “a Care Plan was not initiated for wandering/elopement for [the resident] at that time.”
The survey team determined that the resident was “at risk for elopement as he/she was reported to be hovering near exits, and later, wheeling him/herself toward the front door.”
