52 BURLINGTON HEALTH & REHAB 475014 300 PEARL STREET BURLINGTON VT 5401 2018-08-22 656 D 1 0 IWGT11 > Based on record review and staff interview the facility failed to assure the implementation of the comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident rights for one resident, Resident #1. Findings include: Per record review, on 8/10/18, Resident #1 was seated in a wheelchair by the nurses station. Resident #2 was noted to approach the resident, with a pillow in hand, and stand by the resident. Staff noted that Resident #2 had exposed his penis and had rested it upon Resident #2's arm. The residents were separated and Resident #2 was returned to his room. Resident #2 had documentation in the electronic medical record (EMR), which reflected two previous incidents of exposing himself in public areas and incidents of urinating in public areas. Resident #2 was first care planned for Inappropriate Sexual Behaviors on 2/12/2018. The facility plan to prevent any further incidents included every 15 minute checks and for Resident #2 not to be within arms reach of other residents. In a review of the documentation of every 15 minute checks, care planned on 8/13/18, there are gaps in the checks as follows: No checks documented 5 PM-11 PM on 8/13/18; No checks documented 11:15 AM-11:15 PM on 8/14/18; Last documented check (from Midnight) on 8/15/18 is 7 AM; First documented check on 8/16/18 is at 3:15 PM; No checks documented for the 3-11 shift on 8/17/18 and 8/18/18; No checks documented on the 11-7 shift on 8/18/18; Last checks documented are on 8/19/18 on the 7-3 shift. There is another sheet dated 5/21/18 in this resident's binder but it does not have a name on it. Of note no resident's name appears on 5 of 10 pages of checks. In interview the Director of Nursing Services stated that no other documentation of 15 minute checks was available and staff wasn't always good about documenting the checks. In addition the DNS stated that 15 minute checks were discontinued on 8/21/18. 2020-09-01
