Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a care plan addressing elopement risk and the use of a Wanderguard device for a resident with dementia, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. The resident was identified as being at risk for elopement through an assessment, which included the intervention of a Wanderguard. However, the resident's care plan did not document this risk or the use of the Wanderguard, despite facility policy requiring such interventions to be included in the care plan. Observation confirmed the resident was wearing a Wanderguard, and staff interview verified the absence of a corresponding care plan entry.
