Based on interview and record review the facility failed to report the elopement (when a resident leaves/escapes from a facility without a physician's order and without the staff knowing) from the facility of one out of three sampled residents (Resident 1) to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), Ombudsman (an official appointed to investigate individuals' complaints against maladministration), and to the local law enforcement no later than 2 hours after Resident 1 went out on pass on 10/7/2025 at 12:50 PM and did not return to the facility, as per the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled Elopement, dated 1/2025. This failure resulted in the facility waiting until 10/8/2025 at 3 PM to notify CDPH, local law enforcement, and the Ombudsman, delaying the onsite inspection and investigation. This failure also Placed the resident at risk for worsening medical conditions, delayed care, being assaulted, accidents, injuries, and even death. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 6/11/2025 with diagnoses that included end stage heart failure (when the heart is so weak that it can no longer pump enough blood for the body's needs, even with treatment), dilated cardiomyopathy (a condition where the heart's main pumping chamber becomes enlarged, stretched, and weakened, making it harder to pump blood effectively, chronic kidney disease stage 2 (kidneys have mild damage and are working less effectively than they should, but are still filtering blood), patient's non-compliance (does not follow the rules) with medical treatment and regimen (plan) due to unspecified reason, acute pulmonary edema (when fluid suddenly builds up in the lungs, making it very difficult to breathe), cocaine (a highly addictive drug that makes a person feel intensely energetic and euphoric [an intense sense of happiness, excitement, and well-being] for a short period of time) abuse, and that the resident was on hospice (care for people nearing the end of life that focuses on comfort, pain management, and quality of life rather than on curing the disease). During a review of Resident 1's Care Plan Report dated 6/12/2025, the Care Plan Report indicated Resident 1 was a risk for elopement and falls. The Care Plan Report Indicated the facility staff was to monitor Resident 1's where abouts frequently, document Resident 1's wandering behavior in the facility's behavior log (a record of a resident's health information), and attempt diversional activity (any pleasant, engaging activity that distracts a patient from their pain, boredom, or anxiety). During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P- physician's examination of a resident, in which the physician obtains a thorough medical history from the resident or resident representative, performs a physical examination, and then documents the findings) dated 9/7/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 had the capacity (ability) to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized resident assessment tool), dated 9/15/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had the ability to make himself understood and had the ability to understand others. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required supervision or touch assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) to walk 10 feet, for toileting, oral (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop an individualized person-centered care plan (a plan of care that summarizes a resident's health conditions, specific care and services facility staff need to provide a resident to promote healing and prevent a worsening of a condition, and current treatments) to meet the resident's needs for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1). By failing to create and initiate a care plan for Resident 1's out on pass (temporary leave for a non-medical reason, such as a family visit or holiday meal) physician's order as indicated in the facility's Policy and Procedures (P&P) titled Out on Pass Policy and Procedures, dated 4/2024 and the facility's P&P titled Care Plans Comprehensive, dated 1/2025 . These deficient practices had the potential for the residents to receive inadequate care and/or supervision which could affect the residents' quality of care and cause the resident harm.During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 6/11/2025 with diagnoses that included end stage heart failure (when the heart is so weak that it can no longer pump enough blood for the body's needs, even with treatment), dilated cardiomyopathy (a condition where the heart's main pumping chamber becomes enlarged, stretched, and weakened, making it harder to pump blood effectively, chronic kidney disease stage 2 (kidneys have mild damage and are working less effectively than they should, but are still filtering blood), patient's non-compliance (does not follow the rules) with medical treatment and regimen (plan) due to unspecified reason, acute pulmonary edema (when fluid suddenly builds up in the lungs, making it very difficult to breathe), cocaine (a highly addictive drug that makes a person feel intensely energetic and euphoric [an intense sense of happiness, excitement, and well-being] for a short period of time) abuse, and that the resident was on hospice (care for people nearing the end of life that focuses on comfort, pain management, and quality of life rather than on curing the disease). During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P- physician's examination of a resident, in which the physician obtains a thorough medical history from the resident or resident representative, performs a physical examination, and then documents the findings) dated 9/7/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 had the capacity (ability) to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized resident assessment tool), dated 9/15/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had the ability to make himself understood and had the ability to understand others. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required supervision or touch assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) to walk 10 feet, for toileting, oral hygiene (brushing teeth and mouth care), and for eating. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required moderate to partial assistance (helper does less than half the effort and helps the resident lift, hold, or support themselves) for showering/bathing, putting on shoes/socks, personal hygiene (shaving, washing/drying face and hands), and for tub/shower transfer (ability to get in and out of a tub/shower). During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report, dated 10/9/2025, the Order Summary Report indicated Resident 1 had an order to go out on pass starting 10/1/2025. During concurrent interview and record review on 10/9/2025 at 1:02 PM with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 2), Resident 1's complete and active care plans were viewed. LVN 2 verified that Resident 1 did not have a plan of care for being out on pass.

During an interview on 10/9/2025 at 3:44 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that since there was not an out on pass care plan the facility would not know when Resident 1 was supposed to return. During an interview on 10/10/2025 at 10:45 AM with the Administrator (ADM), the ADM stated Resident 1's going out on pass should have been care planned. During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Out on Pass Policy and Procedures, dated 4/2024, indicated, it is the policy of the facility to meet resident's physical and psychosocial needs to go out on pass. The facility will make reasonable efforts to ensure the residents' safety and uphold resident rights. The P&P indicated when residents request to go out on pass, the IDT team will assess the resident's ability to participate in activities outside the facility. During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Care Plans - Comprehensive, dated 1/2025, indicated, the Care Planning/IDT team, with the resident and/or his/her family or representative, develops and maintains a comprehensive care plan for each resident that identifies the highest level of functioning the resident may be expected to attain. The IDT team documents the Resident Assessment Protocol (RAP - a problem-oriented framework used in nursing homes to guide additional assessment after an initial evaluation, based on specific triggered conditions) summary sheet and/or record in the clinical record: the resident's status, the team's rational for deciding whether to proceed with care planning, and evidence the team considered the development of care planning interventions for all RAP's triggered by the MDS.
