25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Karina Canela arrived unannounced to conduct a case management visit at Parkrose Gardens of Fairfield. LPA met with Health & Wellness Nurse Beverly Murcurio, regarding an incident report submitted on 06/21/2021 regarding a resident AWOL which occurred on 06/18/2021 at approximately 9:45 AM.
LPA discussed the details of the incident with the Administrator Jasmine Seaborne and Health & Wellness Nurse Beverly Murcurio. It was determined Resident (R1) may have exited through the front door as a nurse was entering the facility. The front door has an alarm with delayed egress to alert staff when memory care residents attempt to exit the facility unassisted. Staff statements revealed it takes about 30 seconds for the door to become re-alarmed and sound the alarm. It was determined R1 quickly exited the front door before the door was re-alarmed. The facility previously had a fence around the facility perimeter, which was removed in 2021. The Administrator stated North Bay Medical Center contacted Parkrose Gardens of Fairfield to notify them that R1 was found at approximately 10:30 AM. R1 was evaluated and observed to be without any injuries due to the AWOL and was returned to Parkrose Gardens of Fairfield on 06/18/2021.
Based on records reviewed, Physicians Report indicates R1 is not able to leave the facility unassisted due to diagnosis and wandering behaviors. R1's care plan dated 06/09/2021 indicates R1 has exit seeking behaviors.
R1 was monitored by staff to ensure resident's well being after the incident. R1 was put on 1 to 1 staffing to ensure safety for a week, and staff will be retrained on Supervision and AWOL Protocols.
Deficiencies cited from the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6 of California Regulation. Appeal rights given. Failure to correct the deficiency and/or repeat deficiencies within a 12 month period may result in civil penalties. Exit interview was conducted with Health & Wellness Nurse.
A civil penalty for $500.00 was assessed during today's visit due to absence of supervision.
