The administrator established a system that the doors are going to be checked weekly, routinely. An elopement in-service was done in June 2022 for all the staff, last week we had an elopement drill for all staff, we hid a resident and alerted the staff that the resident was missing and had the staff perform the entire elopement procedure they learned at their in-service- calling the appropriate personnel, establishing the search criteria etc. We have several emergency preparedness books that are accessible to all staff that includes a quick reference of what to do if a patient elopes. On 11/03/22 at 10:17 AM, during a telephone interview, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff B stated: I don't really remember the events of that night; the patient's name does not even sound familiar to me. The Director of Nursing (DON) reminded the nurse about the incident, Staff B then stated oh ok what I remember this was a brand new patient to the facility, the CAN (Certified Nursing Assistant) told me she could not find the resident, we started searching for the resident room by room, we could not find her we looked outside, we call the police and continued to look for the patient, while we were looking for the resident, the police found her and brought her back to the facility. I apologize I do not remember everything that happened at that time.

The son was previously called and about 5 minutes later after the police came with the resident her son showed up to the facility. This patient was brand new to the facility, so no one really knew her, the resident son stated that she had severe dementia, and she caught the house on fire. I informed the resident's son that we are not a locked unit, and we will assess her and see if we can meet her needs in this facility. The son verbalized that he understood. I was involved in redirecting the resident during her stay at the facility, she did not give us any problems when instructed to do something. I assisted in coordinating with the placement agency, an Assisted Living Facility (ALF) for the resident. On 6/16/22 the resident was transferred to an ALF. On 11/03/22 at 02:17 PM, during an interview the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) when asked about the incident that occurred on 6/8/22 at the facility stated: Once I got to the facility, the police was already here, I met with the police and the nurse managers to find out what is going on, we reviewed the video tapes to see when the resident left the facility, we saw when the resident came to the facility, when the ambulance that brought her left, it was approximately 3-4 minutes from the time she was dropped off by the ambulance to the time she left the facility out of the side door.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few resident was only in the building for 4 minutes, we really did not know much about this resident, she was placed on 1 to 1 observation, she had a psychiatric consultation two days later, we provided necessary care during her stay here and she was discharged on 6/16/22 to an ALF. A wander guard was place on the resident that night after she returned. We did an in-service for all staff on 6/30/22 on elopement and listening out and not ignoring audible alarms and last week we did a live drill on elopement in the afternoon around 3 O' clock to have both shifts involved. We learned about the areas of our drill that we need to improve on, we will be doing the live drill again maybe after the first of the year and we will continue to do in-services. We are not a locked facility, but we have a wander guard system. We take the necessary precautions to avoid elopements, we have a book at the front desk of pictures and information of our elopement risk residents. This is for our receptionist to be familiar with residents who have wander guards on and look out for them. we have an emergency preparedness book that include elopement procedures quick reference at each nursing station and at the front desk for staff to reference. We now have established a code silver announcement for resident elopement that all staff have been trained on and are aware of the code silver meaning and what to do when they hear this announcement.

On 6/8/22 I was not the nursing supervisor, there was a patient in room [] that was positive for Covid-19 that I was assigned to take care of, I was the nurse and the CNA for that resident. Again, I did not hear the alarm go off and I did not turn the alarm off.
