Overview

Shawnee Colonial Estates Nursing Home has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns and a poor overall reputation. It ranks #263 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, placing it in the bottom half of all nursing homes in the state, and #4 out of 6 in Pottawatomie County, meaning only two local options are worse. While the facility's trend is improving, with a decrease in issues from 10 in 2021 to 8 in 2025, there are still serious weaknesses to consider. Staffing is below average with a rating of 2 out of 5 stars, but the turnover rate is impressively low at 0%, suggesting staff stability. However, the facility has incurred $67,134 in fines, which is higher than 82% of Oklahoma facilities, raising concerns about compliance issues. Specific incidents include a critical failure to supervise a resident at risk for elopement, who was found outside unattended, and delays in implementing a care plan for a resident who had multiple falls without proper preventative measures in place. Overall, while there are some strengths, particularly in staff retention, the significant fines and serious safety violations are alarming and warrant careful consideration from families.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** On 04/08/25 at 3:50 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health was notified and verified the existence of an Immediate Jeopardy situation related to the facility's failure to provide supervision to prevent elopement from the facility. Resident #22 was identified as being at risk for elopement. Resident #22 made it out to the parking lot through the front door within sight of the nurse's station unattended. A visitor notified staff Resident #22 was in the parking lot. On 04/08/25 at 3:55 p.m., the administrator, director of nursing, assistant director of nursing, business office manager, and corporate nurse were notified of the immediate jeopardy and provided the immediate jeopardy template. On 04/09/25 at 11:54 a.m., an amended plan of removal was approved by the Oklahoma State Department of Health. The plan of removal, read in part, A) Immediate interventions initiated for Resident #22 following elopement on 02/03/25: *15 minute checks *Physician notification with medication changes *Pain evaluation *Alternative placement referral. *Interventions successful. Resident #22 has not had further attempts to elope from facility and did not require alternative placement. Once resident #22 was determined to be at risk, [they] was placed on the facility Code White program. Exit seeking behaviors were monitored every shift and continue. Signage placed on facility doors to instruct family members to call for assistance instead of pulling the doors open and to ensure facility residents are not following them outside when they leave. Facility staff received re-education on 11/13/24, 02/01/25, 02/06/25 and a Code [NAME] Drill was performed on 02/10/25. Immediate interventions for Resident #95 on 02/17/25. *1:1 until discharge to memory care facility. B) All facility residents who are at risk for elopement will be considered at risk for this alleged deficient practice. C) A Code [NAME] Drill was held on 04/08/25 with facility staff at 1815. Steps of the mock elopement drill completed per facility protocol and response time was immediate with the resident being found within 3 minutes. Re-education with all staff was provided to include definitions and identifying exit seeking behaviors. CNAs interviewed were well versed with the facility Code [NAME] Program. Door alarms are working properly. D) Residents considered at risk for elopement were reviewed on 04/08/25 with interdisciplinary team to ensure interventions in place continue to be successful. E) Plan of Correction completed on 04/08/25 at 1830. Additional questions from surveyors: 1. What do staff do when visitors are pulling on the door to enter/exit? The door alarm sounding is the initial safety measure. Staff then reset the code and educate visitors to use code provided and to ensure residents do not follow them outside when leaving. A call multiplier was sent to all family contacts. Signage was updated with a Stop sign with instructions on how to enter/exit without pulling on door. This information will be added to the admission packet and orientation packet to ensure continual compliance. 2. With other residents at risk for elopement, what do employees do with exit seeking behaviors and how do staff know what interventions to use and effectiveness. Non-pharmacological resident specific interventions have been identified for both residents and can be found on the TARs, MARs and in POC. Outcome of non pharmacological interventions are documented in the nurses notes. Resident #1 non-pharmacological interventions for target behavior (exit seeking) include 1. Talk about president [name withheld] 2. Offer cup of coffee and active listening 3. Offer favorite snack i.e [that is] oatmeal cream pie 4. Deep breaths 5. Call [family]. Resident #2 non-pharmacological interventions for target behavior (exit seeking) include: 1. Offer favorite snack (any type of cookie) 2. Talk about painting fences 3. Call [family] 4. Coffee time 3. How do employees know what interventions are used and if effective? Target behaviors and Non-pharmacological interventions are monitored every shift. Once a target behavior is identified, non-pharmacological resident specific interventions are available for each resident on the TAR, MAR and in POC. The outcome of utilizing non-pharmacological interventions can be found in the nurses notes and will be reviewed at resident care plan meetings and/or quality assurance meetings to determine if additional plans of action need to be implemented. On 04/09/25 after interviews with facility staff, review of resident elopement wander risk assessments, and in-services, the immediacy was lifted, effective 04/09/25 at 11:00 a.m. The deficient practice remained at a pattern level with potential for more than minimal harm.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure a NOMNC was provided to a resident discharging from skilled services for 1 (#94) of 3 sampled residents reviewed for beneficiary notification. MDS Coordinator #1 identified 15 residents who were discharged from a Medicare covered Part A stay with benefit days remaining in the past six months (11/18/24 through 04/03/25). Findings: Resident #94 admitted to the facility on [DATE]. A nurse's note, dated 02/25/25, showed Resident #94 discharged home with home health. The SNF beneficiary notification review showed Resident #94's Medicare Part A skilled services episode start date was 12/07/24 and their last covered day of Part A service was 02/24/25. The notification showed the Medicare Part A service termination/discharge was determined voluntarily and the facility/provider initiated the discharge from Medicare Part A services when when benefit days were not exhausted. The notification showed the resident did not receive a NOMNC because Resident #94 did not stay in the facility. On 04/04/25 at 12:58 p.m., MDS coordinator #1 stated they started speaking about discharge with residents, and if they agreed on a discharge date , the MDS coordinator would fill out the NOMNC form and have the resident sign the form. They stated if the resident was unable to sign the form, they would have the family sign. They stated the form was supposed to be provided 48 hours before discharge from skilled services. On 04/04/25 at 1:01 p.m., MDS coordinator #1 stated both the facility and the resident initiated the discharge. They stated the resident wanted to go home. They stated Resident #94 did have benefit days remaining. They stated they got confused on which form they needed to sign and had them sign the SNFmadvance beneficiary notice of non-coverage instead.
