- Failure to Provide Every Resident an Environment Free of Accident Hazards and Provide Adequate Supervision to Prevent Avoidable Accidents – citation date August 2, 2018
According to state investigators, “the facility failed to provide adequate supervision to prevent [one resident] from leaving the building without staff supervision.” The resident “was found approximately two blocks away from the facility. The deficient practice placed [the resident] in Immediate Jeopardy.”
The resident’s MDS (Minimum Data Set) Assessment showed that the resident requires “staff to supervise with bed mobility, transfers, locomotion on-and-off the unit, eating, dressing, and personal hygiene.” The resident’s June 20, 2018, ADL (activities of daily living) Care Area Assessment documented that “the resident is ambulating with a four-wheel walker and staff supervision.”
The resident July 27, 2018, revised Care Plan documents that the resident is “at risk for elopement due to a history of attempts to leave the facility unattended.” The resident’s Care Plan always instructed the staff members to provide one on one supervision, and to “check the resident’s wander guard [bracelet that sets often alarm on resident’s wearing when attempt to exit the building without an escort) bracelet every shift.”
On June 23, 2018, just after noon, documentations were made in the resident’s Nursing Notes. The note stated that the resident attempted to “go outside through the front entrance door, was confused, uncooperative and stated [they] work for Trump now and needed to get out of the facility.” The notes documented that “the activity Director escorted the resident back to [their] room.”
However, on July 2, 2018, at 2:06 PM, a social service note documented that “the social service worker was notified by the nursing staff [that] the resident had gone out the door when someone else was entering the facility. The note documented social service staff when outside with the nursing staff, greeted the resident and asked [the resident how they were] feeling.”
On July 17, 2018, the facility’s Wandering and Elopement Evaluation Form documented that “the resident was alert and oriented.” The documentation stated that the resident “had no wandering/exit seeking patterns and did not have a wander guard bracelet.”
The 7:04 PM July 27, 2018, Nurses Note documented that the resident “was unsupervised outside smoking during a smoke break, stood on [their] walker and try to climb over the fence to get out.” At that time, “another resident outside saw [that resident and stop them].”
At 8:05 PM, the Incident Report documented that the resident “left the building” and “was observed by another resident walking past his/her window and reported it to the staff.” In response, the staff “immediately proceeded to follow the resident toward the direction given by the reporting resident. The report documents the resident was located across the street ambulating with his/her four-wheeled walker and was immediately brought back to the facility.”
