96 ROCHESTER MANOR 305024 40 WHITEHALL ROAD ROCHESTER NH 3867 2018-10-16 641 B 1 0 4FNO11 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** > Based on observation, record review, and interview, it was determined that the facility failed to accurately reflect the resident's status using the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) for 2 residents reviewed with wander alarms in a survey sample of 6 residents. (Resident identifiers are #4 and #5.) Findings include: Resident #4 Record review on 10/16/18 at approximately 11:30 a.m. revealed Resident #4 had a physician order [REDACTED]. Review on 10/16/18 of Resident #4's Minimum Data Set (MDS) Annual assessment on 8/17/18 and Quarterly assessments on 5/18/18, 3/6/18, and 12/14/17 revealed in Section P (Restraints and Alarms) that wander/elopement alarms were not used. Interview on 10/16/18 at approximately 11:45 a.m. with Staff B (Director of Nursing) confirmed the above findings and revealed that the MDS should have reflected that wander/elopement alarms were used daily. Observation on 10/16/18 at approximately 1:00 p.m. revealed that Resident #4 had a wander alarm on their right ankle. Review of the medical record of Resident #5 on 10/16/18 at approximately 10:45 am revealed an order dated 9/14/18 for placement of a Wander-Guard wander/elopment device (a device used to protect residents from elopment/leaving the building unattended) on the ankle of Resident #5 due to poor safety awareness. Interview with Staff B, (DON) on 10/16/18 at approximately 11:00 am revealed that the Wander-Guard security device was placed on Resident #5's ankle on 9/14/18. Further record review on 10/16/18 at 11:15 am revealed that the last quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set)comprehensive assessment was performed on 9/18/18. The MDS dated [DATE] under Section P (Restraints and Alarms); Item E: (Wandering/elopment Alarm): stated that there was no wandering/elopment alarm in use for Resident #5. An interview on 10/16/18 with Staff B at approximately 11:30 am revealed that the MDS assessment was not coded correctly and should have reflected that Resident #5 was wearing the Wander-Guard wander/elopment device. 2020-09-01
