Our attorneys review data on every long-term and intermediate care facility on Medicare.com and the Florida Department of Public Health website.
According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including one out of five stars concerning health inspections, three out of five stars for staffing issues, and two out of five stars for quality measures.
The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to report an allegation of neglect (elopement) for [one resident] involved in wandering.”
Documentation shows that the resident was “found outside of the facility on January 28, 2019, at 10:47 AM on an intermediary road (Julia Street) adjacent to the road leading to the facility.” The resident “refused to come back to the facility [and] was observed by [a staff member] and was unsuccessful in persuading the resident to return to the facility.”
The staff member who found the resident “called the facility to alert them of the resident going off the premises. The resident was eventually convinced to come back to the facility, and staff assisted the resident in her wheelchair to return to the facility.”
However, a review of the “event reporting was conducted, and no evidence of elopement was documented.” Both the facility Administrator and Director of Nursing stated that “they were not notified of the resident’s elopement, [so] no further information regarding the event could be provided.”
Record notes for February 3, 2019, indicated that the resident “pulled off her wander guard bracelet, took her medical record and attempted to leave the facility when she was stopped on the front porch.” The resident stated that “she was leaving to go call her mother.”
The state investigators interviewed the resident who stated that “she did leave the facility a few months ago because she did not want to be in the facility any longer. She also stated she was leaving the facility a month ago to call her mother to get her.” In a subsequent interview with the resident a few hours later, she stated that “she was planning to go see her mother, but she did not know where she was to go.”
