Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
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

Resident 1's Progress Notes dated 10/6/2025 at 1:07 PM, the Progress Notes indicated Resident 1 left the
facility and went out on pass. During a review of Resident 1's Progress Notes for 10/7/2025, indicated the
resident had not yet returned to the facility and facility staff attempted to contact the resident without
success at 7:33 PM, 10:08 PM couple of times, and at 11:01 PM. During a review of Resident 1's Progress
Notes for 10/8/2025, indicated the resident had not yet returned to the facility and facility staff attempted to
contact the resident without success at 12:02 AM (2 attempts), 3:11 AM (2 attempts), 9:09 AM, and at 2:31
PM, the Progress Notes indicated the Social Services Director (SSD) had been trying to reach Resident 1
since 10/7/2025 at 3:07 pm. 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 a
review of Resident 1's Progress Note dated 10/9/2025 at 4:59 PM, the Progress Note indicated RN 2
documented a late entry (when information that was forgotten or left out of an original note is added later,
after the original entry was made and signed). The Progress Note indicated the effective date and time of
the Progress Note was 10/7/2025 at 1:54 AM and indicated Resident 1 was discharged after he had not
returned from pass since yesterday. The Progress Note indicated RN 2 had been calling Resident 1, but
Resident 1 did not respond. The Progress Note indicated RN 2 informed Resident 1's emergency contact
that Resident 1 had not returned from going out on pass yesterday. The Progress Note indicated RN 2
Resident 1's hospice, called the police to inform the police the facility considered Resident 1 a missing
person, and notified the Ombudsman's office. During a concurrent interview and record review on
10/9/2025 at 1:02 PM with LVN 2, the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled Elopement, dated 1/2025
was reviewed. LVN 2 stated the facility should have considered Resident 1 missing if he had not returned
after several hours. LVN 2 stated she (LVN 2) could not answer why the facility's nursing staff did not notify
local law enforcement, the Ombudsman, CDPH, and document out an unusual occurrence after the facility
could not locate Resident 1 per the facility's P&P. LVN 2 stated the facility should have followed their P&P.
During an interview on 10/9/2025 at 1:44 PM with RN 2, RN 2 stated she waited until the morning of
10/8/2025 before following up on Resident'1 whereabouts because Resident 1 was out on pass. RN 2
refused to answer whether she (RN 2) followed the facility's policy for elopement after not being able to
locate Resident 1 after 15 minutes that required the facility to notify police, the Ombudsman, and CDPH.
RN 2 stated she opted to wait until morning on 10/8/2025 to endorse to the next shift (7 AM to 3 PM shift)
that Resident 1 had not returned to the facility. During a concurrent interview and record review on
10/9/2025 at 1:57 PM with RN 1, Resident 1's Care Plan Report dated 6/12/2025 RN 1 stated the facility
did not create a care plan for Resident 1 for going out on pass. RN 1 stated he would consider Resident 1
missing if Resident 1 had gone out on pass and did not return any of the facility's calls to him (Resident 1).
RN 1 stated based on facility policy, the facility should have searched for Resident 1 and if the staff could
not locate Resident 1, the facility should have called the police, Ombudsman, CDPH, and documented an
unusual occurrence. RN 1 stated the facility did not follow their policy for Resident 1. During an interview on
10/9/2025 at 3:44 PM with the DON and ADM, the ADM stated the facility would consider any resident
missing if they did not return from out on pass after 24 hours. The DON stated she (DON) would consider a

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

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

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. LVN 2 could not locate the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, a team of health care professions, which
includes the facility's medical director, Director of Nursing (DON), social worker, registered nurse, and other
staff as needed who work together to establish plans of care for residents) Assessment as indicated in the

verified that Resident 1 did not have a care plan for out on pass. RN 1 stated if the facility did not follow the
policy for out on pass, the facility would not be able to assess Resident 1's safety and the IDT would need
to determine Resident 1's ability to go 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.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure one out of three sampled residents (Resident 1),
who required supervision with walking, was assessed as risk for elopement (when a resident
leaves/escapes from a facility without a physician's order and without the staff knowing), and was under
Hospice (compassionate care for people who are near the end of life) care, did not leave the facility
unsupervised while out on pass (temporary leave for a non-medical reason, such as a family visit or holiday
meal) on 10/7/2025 at 12:50 PM. By failing to: 1. Conduct an IDT (IDT, a team of health care professions,
which include the facility's medical director, Director of Nursing (DON), social worker, registered nurse, and
other staff as needed who work together to establish plans of care for residents) meeting in collaboration
with the Hospice agency to assess Resident 1's ability to participate in activities outside the facility
(unsupervised) as indicated in the facility's Policy and Procedures titled out on Pass Policy and Procedure
dated 4/2024. 2. Ensure Resident 1's Physician specified in the resident's out on pass order whether
Resident 1 needed to be accompanied by a responsible person and/or supervised while out on pass. 3.
Ensure facility staff (licensed nurses, and Resident 1's physician) informed Resident 1 on what time to
return to the facility from out on pass as indicated in the facility's policy and procedures (P&P), titled Out on
Pass Policy and Procedure dated 4/2024. This failure resulted in Resident 1 leaving the facility
unsupervised on 10/7/25 at 12:50 PM and eloping (aka elopement: a patient or resident leaving a
healthcare facility without permission and without being properly discharged ) from the facility. Placing the
resident at risk for worsening medical conditions, delayed care, being assaulted, accidents, injuries, and
even death.Cross Reference: F711During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission

care plans were reviewed. LVN 2 stated Resident 1 did not have a care plan for going out on pass. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 10/9/2025 at 1:02 PM with LVN 2, the facility's policy and
procedure (P&P), titled Out on Pass Policy and Procedure dated 4/2024 was reviewed. LVN 2 reviewed the

had not returned to the facility. During a concurrent interview and record review on 10/9/2025 at 1:57 PM
with RN 1, Resident 1's Care Plan Report dated 6/12/2025, RN 1 stated the facility did not create a care
plan for Resident 1 for going out on pass. RN 1 stated Resident 1 should have been considered missing if
Resident 1 had gone out on pass and did not return any of the facility's calls. RN 1 stated based on facility
policy, the facility should have searched for Resident 1 if the staff could not locate the resident at the facility.
RN 1 stated if not able to reach the resident the police, Ombudsman, and CDPH should have been called,
and an unusual occurrence documented. RN 1 stated the facility did not follow their policy for Resident 1 to
go out on pass because they did not perform an IDT meeting to assess Resident 1's safety and ability to go
out on pass. RN 1 stated the facility did not follow their policy regarding looking for a missing resident. RN 1
stated Resident 1 could have had an accident and poor health because Resident 1 was not taking his

Ensure the resident's doctor reviews the resident's care, writes, signs and dates progress notes and orders,
at each required visit.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to follow its policy and procedures (P&P), titled Out on Pass
Policy and Procedure dated 4/2024 and P&P titled Physician orders and Telephone Orders with a review
date of 1/2025, for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) allowed to go out on pass (temporary leave
for a non-medical reason, such as a family visit or holiday meal). By failing to ensure: 1. Resident 1's
physician completed a medical evaluation of a resident's condition and reviewed the appropriateness of the
resident's ability to safely leave the facility unsupervised and without direct access to facility staff. This
failure resulted in Resident 1 leaving the facility unsupervised on 10/7/2025 at 12:50 PM and eloping (aka
elopement: a patient or resident leaving a healthcare facility without permission and without being properly
discharged ) from the facility. Placing the resident at risk for worsening medical conditions, delayed care,
being assaulted, accidents, injuries, and even death. Cross Reference: F689 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 (a plan of care that summarizes a resident's health
conditions, specific care needs, and current treatments) 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 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
Progress Notes dated 10/6/2025 at 1:07 PM, the Progress Notes indicated Resident 1
