Finding Description

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of clinical records, facility policy and documentation, and staff and resident interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to implement sufficient monitoring interventions and supervision to prevent elopement (unauthorized leave from the facility). This failure placed residents at the facility in an Immediate Jeopardy situation for one of two residents reviewed who eloped from the facility (Resident R1). Findings include: Review of facility policy entitled, Safety and Supervision of Residents dated 4/1/25, indicated Our facility strives to make the environment as free from accident hazards as possible. Resident safety and supervision and assistance to prevent accidents are facility-wide priorities. Our facility-oriented approach to safety address risks for groups of residents. Safety risks and environmental hazards are identified on an ongoing basis through a combination of employee training, employee monitoring and reporting process; Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) reviews of safety and incident/accident date; and a facility-wide commitment to safety at all levels of the organization. Review of facility policy entitled, Wandering and Elopements dated 4/1/25, indicated When the resident returns to the facility, the director of nursing or charge nurse shall: examine the resident for injuries; contact the attending physician and report findings and conditions of the resident; notify the resident's legal representative; complete and file an incident report; document relevant information in the resident's medical record. Resident R1's clinical record revealed an admission date of 3/28/2025, with diagnoses that included Dementia (loss of memory, language, problem-solving, and other thinking abilities), Parkinson's disease (brain disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination), Anxiety (a condition that causes a person to be nervous, uneasy, or worried about something or someone), and high blood pressure. A Minimum Data Set (MDS-a periodic assessment of resident care needs) Section C Cognitive Patterns dated 10/30/2025, identified Resident R1 with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS-a type of test to determine one's level of cognition) score of 11 and moderately impaired. Review of Resident R1's MDS Section E Behaviors dated 10/30/2025, revealed under section E0900 wandering presence and frequency- Has the resident wandered? with response of 2-Behavior of this type occurred 4-6 days. Review of an Elopement Risk Assessment completed on 4/15/25, indicated Resident R1 had an elopement score of 11. High Risk to Wander. During an onsite investigation on 12/15/25, it was identified that Resident R1 had eloped from the dementia unit of the facility on 12/09/25. Review of Resident R1's clinical record lacked any documentation on 12/9/2025, regarding the elopement until the investigation on 12/16/25. Review of Resident R1's care plans revealed no updates to care plans regarding elopement risk from the date of the elopement on 12/9/25, to investigation on 12/15/25. During an initial interview on 12/15/25, at approximately 9:00 a.m. the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed that he/she was unaware of any elopements or close calls since April 2025, which the facility investigated and reported as required.

Finding Description

Based on review of facility policy, manufacturer's recommendations, observations, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that medications were properly dated when opened and discarded in a timely manner for one of three medication carts reviewed (B Wing medication cart 2). Findings include: Review of a facility policy entitled Labeling of Medication Containers dated 4/01/25, revealed all medications maintained in the facility are properly labeled in accordance with current state and federal guidelines and regulations.

Finding Description

Based on review of clinical record and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to have documented evidence of a physician's order for one of three residents reviewed (Resident R1).
Findings include:
Review of Resident R1's clinical record revealed an admission date of 12/14/17, with diagnoses that included cellulitis (bacterial skin infection causing the affected area to become swollen, inflamed, painful, and warm to the touch) of the left lower leg, atrial fibrillation (irregular heart beat causing the heart to beat too quickly), heart failure, and diabetes.
Review of Resident R1's clinical record revealed that Resident R1 was to have a procedure done at the hospital on 6/7/23. A physician's order written on 6/4/23, revealed to hold the medication Eliquis (a medication that makes the blood thin preventing clotting) 5 milligrams (mg) tablet by mouth two times per day, and was to be held starting 6/4/23, at the evening dose and held the following day 6/5/23, for both doses and 6/6/23, both doses for resident safety to prevent bleeding. The medication was normally administered during the 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. medication passes. A review of the June 2023 Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed that the medication Eliquis 5 mg by tablet by mouth twice per day, was held according to the written physician's order.
Review of Resident R1's clinical record revealed that upon return from the procedure on 6/7/23, the surgeon's office sent post operative instructions with Resident R1 to the facility. The instructions reviewed gave general information to restart all medications previously on the resident's medication list.
During an interview with the Registered Nurse (RN) Supervisor on 7/6/23, at 12:30 p.m. it was identified that the surgeon's office was called to double check for resident safety due to bleeding precautions, if Eliquis 5 mg by mouth twice per day should be restarted on 6/7/23. The surgeon's office was unable to be reached and a message was left for a return call. The resident's primary care physician's office was then called for guidance. The Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner (CRNP) was contacted by phone and gave the verbal instruction to hold the medication for bleeding precautions until the surgeon returned call.
During a telephone interview with the CRNP on 7/6/23, at 12:36 p.m. it was confirmed that the RN Supervisor contacted him/her on 6/7/23, in the evening questioning if Eliquis 5 mg one tab by mouth twice per day should be restarted that evening after the surgical procedure. The RN Supervisor was informed to hold the medication Eliquis 5 mg by mouth twice per day due to bleeding precautions after surgery until the surgeon could give the clarification to reorder it. The CRNP confirmed that a verbal order was given to the RN Supervisor.
Review of Resident R1's clinical record lacked documentation regarding contacting the CRNP and a physician's order regarding the Eliquis medication.
Review of physician's orders revealed that on 6/9/23, the surgeon's office returned the call and ordered to restart Eliquis 5 mg one tablet by mouth twice per day. The next dose was reordered to be given on 6/9/23, at the 8:00 p.m. medication pass. Review of the June 2023 MAR revealed that the medication was given as ordered on 6/9/23, during the 8:00 p.m. medication pass.
During an interview on 7/6/23, at approximately 1:00 p.m. the Director of Nursing, confirmed that the clinical record lacked documented evidence as to whether the Eliquis was to be restarted on 6/7/23, after the surgical procedure, lacked a written physician's order and lacked documentation that the CRNP had been contacted and gave a verbal order to hold the Eliquis until confirmation by the surgeon's office.
