- Failure to Provide Every Resident an Environment Free of Accident Hazards and Provide Adequate Supervision to Prevent Avoidable Accidents – citation #F689 date July 12, 2019
The state investigators determined the nursing home " failed to monitor a severely cognitively impaired resident, who wandered into an outdoor courtyard and sat in 90° sun without shade or fluids.” The resident “was found slumped over to the side of his chair was not responsive to caregivers.” The nursing staff sent the resident “out to the emergency department where he was treated.”
The resident was “hospitalized, stabilized, and returned to the facility four days later.” The surveyors determined that an Immediate Jeopardy situation began “when the facility failed to maintain a safe environment, as evidenced by a severely cognitively impaired resident exiting the dining room door in the courtyard and was discovered approximately seventy-five feet from the door , 1.5 hours later in the direct sunlight without supervision.”
The resident’s medical record written by a nurse indicated that the “resident was alert and wheeling [their] self around during the morning.” The resident was noted to be outside around 11:00 AM, in his wheelchair. At approximately 12:28 PM, the resident “was still outside and assisted back into the building by [two Nurse Aides], due to being less responsive. The resident was dressed in a T-shirt, sweatshirt, and sweatpants and his temperature was noted to be increased, with a decreased pulse.”
One nurse stated, during an interview, that she remembered the resident self-propelling his wheelchair out to the hallway that morning but was not aware of what happened until the two Nurse Aides summoned her to assess the resident after being [out in] the sun. The nurse stated that the resident came in from outside and “was hot to the touch and unresponsive, except to painful stimuli.”
