During a telephone interview on 9/26/2025 at 3:06 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) L stated Resident #2 complained of feeling like she had something in her throat and was having trouble swallowing. LPN L stated Resident #2 had taken her medication whole without having trouble swallowing, then started having problems swallowing and had to be given medications crushed. LPN L stated Resident #2 complained of a sore throat and began to clear her throat constantly. LPN L stated she had reported Resident #2's complaints of painful swallowing and throat clearing to the Nurse Supervisor(NS). LPN L confirmed she was not aware of Resident #2's behavior history of swallowing non-food items. During an interview on 9/30/2025 at 9:26 AM, Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA) H stated Resident #2 was monitored during meals in the dining room with all residents. RNA H stated she recalls Resident #2 had to use plastic utensils for some reason, though she wasn't sure why. During an interview on 9/30/2025 at 4:17 PM, the Former Director of Nursing (DON) CC stated Resident #2 had complained to staff about having trouble swallowing, was constantly requesting water, and began to have repetitive behaviors of trying to clear her throat. Former DON CC concluded she spoke with Medical Doctor (MD) #2 and suggested evaluation with the Speech Therapist. The Speech Therapist recommended a swallow study (test to assess for abnormalities in swallowing function). Former DON CC stated she was not aware of Resident #2's prior behaviors related to eating non-food items and does not recall discussing her behaviors in the clinical meetings. Former DON CC alleges the only thing she recalled being told about Resident #2's mental health history was that she was stable for discharge to the facility. During a telephone interview on 9/30/2025 at 5:01 PM, the Radiologist reviewed Resident #2's CT scan dated 1/26/2024 and confirmed there were two longitudinal (lengthwise) foreign bodies, 1 metallic and 1 nonmetallic, present in Resident #2's stomach that were not present on a CT scan completed on 12/7/2023. The Radiologist stated he expected the ordering provider would order a follow-up study to be completed. The Radiologist stated the report was sent to MD #2. During an interview on 10/2/2025 at 11:09 AM, the Medical Director (MD #1) stated she could not recall the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) Committee meeting to discuss Resident #2's hospitalization related to eating non-food items. MD #1 stated Resident #2's medical history provided by the Behavioral Health Hospital during admission should have been considered when developing a care plan. MD #1 reviewed the Radiology report for Resident #2 dated 1/29/2025. MD #1 confirmed the report indicated the presence of two foreign bodies in Resident #2's abdomen and should have triggered evaluation and monitoring for behaviors. During a telephone interview on 10/2/2025 at 7:00 PM, MD #2 confirmed Resident #2 was his patient during her stay at the facility from 1/12/2024-7/2/2024. MD #2 was asked if he had been aware of Resident #2's history of behavior related to eating non-food items. MD #2 stated, .If it [Resident #2's behavior history] was in her chart, yes, I would have her history . MD #2 stated he had not read Resident #2's history in detail, though he knew Resident #2 had swallowed a spoon and was sent to the hospital. MD #2 stated he did not recall if the hospital had removed the spoon from Resident #2's stomach or if she had passed the spoon. MD #2 stated he was aware Resident #2 had passed away due to complications during a biopsy procedure performed on her pulmonary nodules and not during the procedure to remove items from her stomach. MD #2 was again asked if he had reviewed Resident #2's behaviors noted in her progress notes sent from the Behavioral Hospital and had he ordered monitoring for those behaviors. MD #2 concluded he was sure he had reviewed Resident #2's history and stated he obviously did not recall seeing any behaviors that impressed him. MD #2 was asked if he had concerns related to the results of the CT scan completed on 1/26/2024, which included two foreign bodies noted in Resident #2's stomach. MD #2 stated his concern was to follow up on the pulmonary nodules that had been identified prior to Resident #2's admission to the facility. MD #2 stated he had not ordered monitoring for Resident #2 ingesting non-food items, and he wasn't sure the facility would be able to provide monitoring for those behaviors. MD #2 stated Resident #2 should not have been admitted to the facility if she required that type of monitoring. MD #2 confirmed the ingestion of foreign bodies by Resident #2 could likely lead to harm or death. During an interview on 10/7/2025 at 3:14 PM, the admission Coordinator (AC) stated she retrieved the referrals from an admissions portal, and the Admissions Team reviewed the referral. The AC stated the Admissions Team consisted of the admission Coordinator, the DON, the Administrator, the Rehab Director, and the Business Office Manager. The AC confirmed the Admissions Team talked about Resident #2, and she (AC) had reservations because Resident #2 was coming from the Behavioral Hospital. The AC stated the referral indicated Resident #2 had received treatment for behaviors and was stable for discharge. The AC stated once the resident was accepted, the MD would be notified and given the resident's history with diagnoses and their list of medications. The AC was asked if there was a process for reviewing a resident's records from the discharge facility prior to admission to Facility #1. The AC replied, .No, before now, we basically just discussed the report we got from the facility with the referral. During an interview on 10/7/2025 at 3:54 PM, the NS was asked if he had reviewed the result of Resident #2's CT completed on 1/26/2024. The NS replied, .No, the results would go directly to [Named MD #2]'s office for review. The NS was asked if he had discussed the results of the CT with MD #2 when speaking with him on 6/12/2024 related to a follow-up CT scan. The NS replied, .I don't recall talking with [MD #2] about any of the results. The NS was given the progress note to review that was entered by him on 6/12/2024 related to Resident #2's CT results. The NS responded, .I just can't recall seeing any results on her CT scan. The NS was asked if he had reviewed Resident #2's admission history from the Behavioral Hospital. The NS responded, .I usually do not attend the clinical meetings because I have so many responsibilities.A resident's history and physical information would be up to the admitting nurse to obtain, and if not, we eventually find out what behaviors they have or build a history based on their behavior in the facility.I wasn't aware of any problems [Named Resident #2] was having with swallowing until the day she was sent to the hospital [7/2/2024].I do know that [Resident #2] was very manipulative and might have been using her sore throat problem to cut a deal with the nurse to go outside to smoke.she did that a lot.I think if she complained with swallowing difficulty, the nurse would have assessed her and followed up with the physician. During an interview on 10/8/2025 at 10:19 AM, the Registered Dietician (RD) stated she was aware of Resident #2's weight loss and had determined the weight loss was not significant until before she went to the hospital and most likely was caused by her COPD. The RD concluded interventions were implemented which included large portions and supplements. During an interview on 10/8/2025 at 11:19 AM, the Licensed Psychologist (LP) stated she had provided mental health visits to Resident #2 related to her diagnosis of severe mental illness and treated anxiety type behaviors. The LP confirmed she was unaware of Resident #2's history related to behaviors of eating non-food items. The LP stated she would expect to receive information provided to the facility related to the residents' mental health history with a referral for services. The LP stated she did see paperwork from the referring facility and did not recall reading anything about behaviors related to eating non-food items. The LP stated, . [Named Resident #2] could be very dramatic during interactions. During a telephone interview on 10/8/2025 at 12:14 PM, the SLP stated, .I received a referral to see [Named Resident #2] because she kept complaining about difficulty swallowing and feeling like something was stuck in her throat.she described a feeling of pressure when she would eat.The symptoms described were the same as patients describe when they have a narrowing in the esophagus and I ordered a swallow study [imaging exam that examines the swallowing process] and changed her diet to a pureed texture .I didn't know about her [Resident #2] history of eating non-food items or that would have been a huge red flag to send her out to the hospital for evaluation immediately.I didn't hear anything obvious.I can only hear something above the esophagus. During an interview on 10/8/2025 at 4:16 PM, the Social Services Director (SSD) stated Resident #2's history from Behavioral Hospital #1 had not been discussed in the care plan meetings or the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) meetings. The SSD stated she was not aware of Resident #2's history of eating non-food items. During a telephone interview on 10/8/2025 at 5:36 PM, the Psychiatric Services Nurse Practitioner (PNP) stated she would expect to receive a referral for a resident with behaviors related to eating non-food items. The PNP stated she was not aware of Resident #2's prior history of eating non-food items. The PNP concluded there had been a problem with the facility getting accurate paperwork with a resident's history prior to them being admitted to the facility. During a telephone interview on 10/9/2025 at 11:34 AM, LPN U stated Resident #2 was anxious and often made repetitive requests to go to the hospital due to multiple symptoms and to go outside and smoke. LPN U stated she was not aware of Resident #2's history of eating non-food items. During a telephone interview on 10/9/2025 at 11:40 AM, LPN T stated Resident #2 was frequently awake and anxious during the 10:30 PM to 6:30 AM shift. LPN T stated Resident #2 would often complain of being hungry or thirsty at night and would eat snacks constantly. LPN T stated about a month before she went to the hospital (7/2/2024), Resident #2 complained of trouble swallowing and stopped eating her snacks at night. LPN T stated she reported Resident #2's complaints of trouble swallowing to a nurse manager (LPN T could not recall to whom she had reported the complaints of difficult swallowing to in June 2024). LPN T concluded if she had been aware of Resident #2's history of swallowing non-food items, she would have obtained an order to send her for evaluation in the emergency room. An acceptable Removal Plan which removed the immediacy of the Jeopardy was received on 10/7/2025 and was validated onsite by the surveyor on 10/7/2025 through 10/8/2025 by medical record reviews, observations, review of education records, and staff interviews. F 600 A. Immediate action to address the residents affected or likely to be affected: There were no additional residents identified during screening. There were no additional residents with abuse/neglect concerns identified. The skin assessments did not identify additional concerns. Staff who were not available during the training will be trained before being allowed to work. In addition, the staff should attain a 100% score and be retrained by the DON, VP of Clinical Services, SDC (staff development coordinator) or Unit Manager if the score is less than 100%. From 10/2/25 - 10/3/25, the DON, VP of Clinical Services, SDC (staff development coordinator) and Unit Manager reviewed the current residents' assessed history of pertinent/related behaviors. In addition, all potential admissions/patient referrals were also reviewed by the admission director, DON/Unit Manager/MDS (minimum data set) Nurse prior to admission to the facility. If any relevant behavior is identified, a care plan will be developed upon admission to address the behavior identified. The DON will follow-up pertinent radiology results within 24 hours. In the absence of the DON, the ADON will follow-up radiology results. The results will be relayed to the attending physician; a care plan will be developed to address the radiology results as needed. 1. Resident 2 no longer resides in the facility. The resident was discharged to another facility on 7/2/24. 2. The DON (director of nursing) conducted a huddle meeting on 9/29/25 with the nursing staff to identify any resident who may have similar behavior like Resident #2, a vulnerable, cognitively impaired resident with a behavioral history of eating non-food items including the ingestion of metal objects. 3. To identify residents who are likely to be affected by the alleged deficiency, on 10/2/25 to 10/3/25, the clinical leadership team (DON, UM - unit manager, SDC - staff development coordinator, MDS - minimum data set Nurse) SSD (social services director), VPCS (vice president of clinical services) and RRCO (regional regulatory compliance officer) completed a screening of all residents for aggressive behavior and screening for risk for abuse of all residents. 4.

Refer to F-689
Review of an undated QAPI CAP (Corrective Action Plan is a step by step plan of action to be followed to ensure below par outcomes are swiftly addressed and mitigated) revealed the facility replaced Resident #174's Wanderguard after staff discovered Resident #174's Wanderguard was not working. The facility placed Resident on 15 minute observation checks (resident safety check performed in 15 minute intervals). The facility checked the Wanderguards on all residents who were on the Wanderguard program and checked the device functioning at the door. Residents on the Wanderguard program were placed on 15 minute observation checks. The facility reviewed and updated as indicated physician orders for Wanderguard program orders and care plans for all residents in the Wanderguard program. The facility reviewed and updated as indicated all Wander assessments. The facility inserviced staff on the Code Gray process (code to alert staff that a resident has eloped).
The facility's QAPI committee failed to thoroughly analyze the cause of the elopement, develop and maintain interventions to prevent further elopement, and effectively monitor and reassess interventions implemented to prevent further elopement.
Resident #174 was able to exit through the front door by pushing the exit button to open the door and leave the facility. This was not addressed in the facility's documented corrective action plan. Wanderguards would only alarm at the front door. None of the other exit doors of the facility were equipped with the Wanderguard system. There was no documentation in the facility's corrective action plan that any of the other doors or exits were assessed for potential elopement risks. There was no documentation in the facility's action plan of how long Resident #174 or any of the other residents would be monitored with 15 minute observation checks or the criteria the facility would use to determine a resident no longer required these safety checks. There was no documentation provided that the facility inserviced staff on identifying exit seeking behaviors or interventions to prevent elopements (Code Gray is the code called after a resident has eloped).
Review of the MONTHYLY QA MEETING .JANUARY 2023 [review data from January 2023] dated 2/23/2023 revealed two sections on the sheet: Focus Areas and Report data Provided. The Focus Areas included, Reportable Investigation & [and] Elopement unsafe program. The facility failed to provide any documentation of the minutes from the meeting, and there was no documentation the QAPI committee discussed the elopement by Resident #174, any interventions to prevent further elopements, or any monitoring of interventions or residents to determine the effectiveness of the interventions.
Review of the MONTHYLY QA MEETING .FEBRUARY 2023 [review data from February 2023] dated 3/30/2023 revealed two sections on the sheet: Focus Areas and Report data Provided. The facility failed to provide any documentation of the minutes from the meeting, and there was no documentation the QAPI committee discussed the elopement by Resident #174, any interventions to prevent further elopements, or any monitoring of interventions or residents to determine the effectiveness of the interventions.
The facility failed to provide the documentation of QAPI meeting minutes after multiple requests by the survey team.
Review of the facility's investigation dated 6/16/2023 revealed an elopement (Resident #9 eloped 3 times on 6/16/2023: Elopement #1 occurred at 5:01 AM, Elopement #2 occurred at approximately 5:30 AM, and Elopement #3 occurred at 5:56 AM) occurred at 5:45 AM. Resident #9 exited (Elopement #2) through the dining room door at approximately 30 minutes prior to Elopement #3. Maintenance Personnel #1 saw Resident #9 walking from around the back of the facility unsupervised (Elopement #2). Resident #9 exited the building through the dining room door which led to the resident patio and smoking area and then exited through the patio gate (Elopement #3). Staff arriving at work noticed Resident #9 right outside the front gate. The facility did not include Elopement #1 (6/16/2023 at 5:01 AM) in their investigation on 6/16/2023.
Refer to F-689
Review of the QAPI CAP dated 6/23/2023 revealed the facility referred Resident #9 to psychiatric services and moved Resident #9 to another room to allow for one-to-one monitoring (resident safety intervention in which the resident is in continuous proximity and sight of a staff member). The facility planned to update Resident #9's elopement risk assessment and care plan. The facility tested all exit doors and alarms and found that they were all functioning properly except for the dining room door. The alarm on the dining room door was replaced, and the new alarm functioned properly. The facility installed a new latch on the gate of the resident patio/smoking area which is easy for staff to access and open but not for residents. The facility planned on installing a new latch on the facility service road gate. The facility posted a sign on the dining room door. The facility inserviced staff on the gate latches and new alarm device with keys.
The facility's QAPI committee failed to thoroughly analyze the cause of the elopement, develop and maintain interventions to prevent further elopement, and effectively monitor and reassess interventions implemented to prevent further elopement.
Resident #9 eloped on 6/16/2023 at 5:01 AM (Elopement #1) when she exited the building through the dining room door and across the patio toward the fence which enclosed the patio (Resident #9 walked approximately 50-60 feet from the dining room door before a staff member came through the dining room door and called Resident #9 back inside the building). The facility did not include this elopement on their investigation. The Administrator and Director of Nursing stated in interview, they were unaware Resident #9 eloped on 6/16/2023 at 5:01 AM, but surveyor observed Resident #9 exiting the building on 6/16/2023 at 5:01 AM (Elopement #1) while reviewing the facility camera footage.
Resident #9 eloped on 6/16/2023 at approximately 5:30 AM (Elopement #2) when she exited the building through the dining room door, across the patio, through the latched gate on the fence, and into the facility parking lot. Maintenance Personnel #1 was seated in his car in the parking lot and saw Resident #9 in the parking lot and escorted her back inside the facility. Maintenance Personnel #1 reported that the alarm sounded when Resident #9 entered the facility, but no staff responded to the alarm. Maintenance Personnel #1 escorted Resident #9 to the nurses' station, but there was no staff present. Maintenance Personnel #1 found a nurse on the back hall passing medication, and he notified the nurse about Resident #9's elopement. There was no documentation in the facility's corrective action plan that addressed why the staff was either not able to hear the alarm when Resident #9 re-entered the building or why the staff did not respond to the alarm. There was no documentation in the facility's corrective action plan to address why staff failed to put interventions in place after the first elopement to prevent further recurrences.
Resident #9 eloped on 6/16/2023 at 5:56 AM (Elopement #3) when she exited the building through the dining room door, across the patio, through the gate on the fence, and down the paved service road. Resident #9 was seen near the front gate (which exited the grounds of the facility) by the Human Resources (HR) Director and Medical Records (MR) Director who were seated in a vehicle in the parking lot. The HR Director and MR Director escorted Resident #9 back to the facility. There was no documentation in the facility's corrective action plan which addressed how Resident #9, who had already eloped twice within the last hour and was supposed to be on 15 minute observation checks (for safety), exited through the same dining room door for the third time in less than an hour and walked from the dining room door, across the patio, through the gate, down the service road, and up the drive way to the front gate without any staff in the building recognizing that Resident #9 had left. There was no documentation that any staff was aware of Resident #9 being outside of the facility (no documentation of a Code Gray called) until the MR Director called nursing staff on the phone to inform them that Resident #9 was outside at the front gate.
The facility failed to provide the documentation of any QAPI meeting minutes after multiple requests by the survey team which addressed these 3 elopements.
Resident #9 eloped on 7/26/2023 at approximately dinner time (exact time unknown) (Elopement #4) when she exited the building through the exit door on the 500-hall. The door alarm sounded, and staff (CNA #14 and Unit Manager #2) went outside to assist Resident #9 back to the facility. Resident #9 crossed the concrete flooring and had stepped off to the service road when the staff stopped her and escorted her back to the facility. There was no documentation provided by the facility that the QAPI committee investigated this elopement to identify the root cause or evaluate the systems and processes in place to prevent elopements.
Observations of 100-hall, 200-hall, 500-hall, 600-hall, and the main dining room exit doors on 7/25/2023 at 3:46 PM, revealed all exits had an alarm on top of the doors with a mesh stop sign in front of the doors. There was no Wanderguard system available on these exit doors to notify staff of residents attempting to exit through the doors.
Observations on the back hallway adjacent to the laundry room on 7/26/2023 at 3:16 PM, revealed State Surveyor #1 opened an exterior door (the door was labeled service door and was used by staff to take trash to the dumpster), but no alarm sounded because the alarm was not set. There was no documentation in the facility's corrective action plan or any documentation in the QAPI committee meeting minutes that addressed staff turning off the door alarms
During an interview on 7/25/2023 at 2:12 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated if a resident eloped from the facility they were automatically placed on every 15 minute observation checks. If the exit seeking behavior continued the resident was placed on one-to-one monitoring. These interventions were ongoing until the behaviors resolved. The DON confirmed the facility did not implement different interventions if the immediate interventions of Q 15 minutes checks or one-to-one monitoring worked. The DON stated she did not use other interventions initally because she did not want to run out of interventions.
During an interview on 7/26/2023 at 3:28 PM, the Laundry Department Director confirmed the exterior door (labeled service door) was supposed to alarm at all times. The Laundry Department Director acknowledged the door alarm for the exterior door was not set. The Laundry Department Director also confirmed the service door was not equipped with the Wanderguard system (door would not alarm when a resident with a Wanderguard exited through the door).
During an interview on 7/26/2023 at 3:29 PM, the Administrator confirmed the alarm to the service door should be set at all times.
During an interview on 7/31/2023 at 2:53 PM, the Administrator stated the QAPI committee had a meeting on July 27, 2023, and the committee discussed Resident #9's elopements. The Administrator stated the notes were not complete or available at this time. After multiple requests for the QAPI committee meeting minutes, the Administrator failed to provide any QAPI meeting minutes for a meeting on July 27, 2023 or any QAPI meeting minutes which addressed any of Resident #9's four elopements. The Administrator confirmed that the front door was the only door or exit in the facility that would alarm from the Wanderguard system. The Administrator confirmed this was a system failure because the exit alarm system was not a Wanderguard system.
During an interview on 8/1/2023 at 12:41 PM, the DON stated she was not aware that Resident #9 had an elopement on 6/16/2023 at 5:01 AM. The DON stated if staff had made her aware of the elopement, she would have put Resident #9 on 15-minute or one-to-one observations. The DON stated she expected staff to call to and let her know of any elopements, falls, deaths, or a resident leaving against medical advice (AMA). The DON stated staff could have prevented the elopements if she had known about the first elopement.
During a telephone interview on 8/1/2023 at 2:41 PM, the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (NP) stated she felt Resident #9 needed a secure unit. The Psychiatric NP stated elopements were a significant concern at the facility. The Psychiatric NP stated the DON tried to have Resident #9 placed at another facility but was unsuccessful. The NP stated Resident #9 should have been placed on one-to-one observation to prevent her elopements.
There was no documentation in the facility's corrective action plan or QAPI committee meeting minutes that mentioned Resident #9 being moved to a secure unit or transferred to another facility for her safety.
