Another resident observed Resident #5 walking around the west side of the building to the front parking lot and directed her back to the building. Staff did not know Resident #5 was off the fourth floor. This failure created a situation that resulted in a worsened condition and the likelihood for serious injury and or death to Resident #5 and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy on 1/27/26.

An interview was conducted on 1/27/26 at 2;24 p.m. with Staff Q, Registered Nurse (RN). She said she worked with Resident #5 on 8/30/25. She said Resident #5 typically wandered around the fourth floor and staff would reorient her to her room regularly, but she had never seen Resident #5 off the fourth floor. Staff Q said on 8/30/25 she saw the resident at change of shift then again in the hall a short time later. She said she redirected Resident #5 to her room then 10-15 minutes or so later the supervisor, Staff R, RN came on the unit and said Resident #5 had been outside. Staff Q said she had no idea how the resident got off the unit and outside. She said she did not recall Resident #5 having an electronic monitoring device on before this incident, but confirmed one was placed on her after she returned to the unit on 8/30/25. She said normally nurses do an Elopement Risk Assessment every three months, if the resident is determined to be at risk, the supervisor or DON is notified. She said the supervisor or DON will bring an electronic monitoring device to the nurse to put on the resident or they will put it on the resident. An interview was conducted on 1/27/26 at 3:00 p.m. with Staff R, RN. She confirmed she was the supervisor on duty on 8/30/25 when Resident #5 eloped. She said Resident #5 was always confused, but she had no idea how the resident got out of the facility, but ‘she didn't go far. Staff R said, we weren't able to figure out what door she went out. She said an alarm did go off downstairs and staff were trying to figure out why. She said you can kind of pinpoint the area the alarm was coming from. She said it was like on the backside of the building. She then said it was on the west side of the building. Staff R said when the alarm went off staff did not know why it was going off or if a resident went out the door, but they started looking. She said while staff were looking to see if a resident went outside, another resident (Resident #13) saw Resident #5 in the parking lot and brought her to the front of the building. Staff R said she went out front and helped get Resident #5 back in the building. She said Resident #5 did not have any injuries. Staff R said Resident #5 did not have an electronic monitoring device on because she usually just kind of stayed on the unit. It wasn't warranted for her to have one. She said the resident had an electronic monitoring device placed after the incident. An interview was conducted on 1/26/26 at 3:41 p.m. with Resident #13. He said a few months ago he was out in front of the facility on leave of absence. He said he saw a lady walking around from the west side of the building by the generators. He said he didn't know her, but she was in a hospital gown with a blanket wrapped around her. He said it looked like she knew where she was headed, but it didn't look right to him. He said he walked over to her, and she was confused so he got her to come sit on the bench in front of the building.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few staff member saw them through the front door and came outside. He said that staff member knew who the lady was.Review of admission Records showed Resident #13 was admitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident #13's Annual MDS, Section C, Cognitive Patterns, showed a BIMS score of 13, indicating he was cognitively intact.An interview was conducted on 1/27/26 3:35 p.m. with Staff S, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Staff S said he was working on the third floor on the day Resident #5 eloped (8/30/25). He said no alarm ever went off for the doors that he heard. Staff S said Resident #5 normally wandered around the unit but never really left.An interview was conducted on 1/27/26 at 5:09 p.m. with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Director of Nursing (DON). They said on 8/30/25 around 4:30 p.m. they received a call from the weekend supervisor letting them know Resident #5 had gotten out of the building but was back safely. They said Resident #13 had seen Resident #5 outside and directed her back to the building safely. They said the resident had been an elopement risk when she first came to the building in January 2025, but she declined and went out to the hospital in May. They said when she returned, she was not an elopement risk because she could not get out of bed. The DON said the Elopement Risk Assessment completed in May 2025 was incorrect because the nurse did it based on information prior to the resident going to the hospital. They said there were three residents in the elopement books on 8/30/25, but Resident #5 was not one of them. The DON said it wasn't until August that Resident #5 started walking good. She said the resident did not have an electronic monitoring device placed when she started walking again because she was not exit seeking. The NHA and DON reviewed Resident #5's care plan and confirmed she had been care planned for an electronic monitoring device from February through September 2025. They said during their investigation they could not determine how Resident #5 got downstairs or into the stairwell. They said they interviewed residents and staff and did not find anyone that saw Resident #5 on the elevator or that possibly rode the elevator down with her. The NHA said after getting downstairs Resident #5 somehow got into the stairwell which was only accessible from a locked door with a keypad code. They said from the stairwell there is an exit door to the outside and that is where the resident exited. The NHA said they knew she exited that door because the alarm was going off on that door, however she said the alarm was just a beeping sound that could only be heard in the stairwell or just outside of the stairwell doors . The NHA said the receptionist in the front did not hear the alarm from down the hall. The NHA and DON said the staff did not know Resident #5 had gotten downstairs and outside until Resident #13 brought her to the front of the building and the receptionist saw them. They said she had not gone missing and there was no elopement code called. They said they did do an elopement drill that evening after the incident. The NHA confirmed that Resident #5 was not observed exiting the facility and Resident #13 was the only person to see the resident outside. She said Resident #13 found Resident #5 and brought her back to the facility. A follow-up interview was conducted on 1/29/26 at 12:48 p.m. with the NHA. She stated that the electronic monitoring device is a nursing intervention and did not require a physician's order. She said they do typically put an order in the system to ensure the electronic monitoring device is checked daily by staff. An interview was conducted on 1/28/26 at 12:42 p.m. with Staff T, Occupational Therapist (OT). Staff F said Resident #5 was in the late stages of dementia and had trouble sequencing tasks. He said she would wander the halls and constantly went into other residents' rooms. Staff T said Resident #5 might go towards the elevators to get on, but she was easily redirected. He said she did follow other residents where they were going. Staff T said Resident #5 would have had the strength to open doors, but he didn't feel like she could have walked down four flights of stairs without falling. He said Resident #5 was alert and oriented to person only. Staff T said he didn't feel like staff are educated enough on treatment of dementia residents.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few was conducted on 1/28/26 at 2:44 p.m. with Resident #5's Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). She said Resident #5 was only oriented to person and was not able to care for herself. She said she didn't necessarily think of the resident as exit seeking because she was on the fourth floor, but the resident might follow other people out. An interview was conducted on 1/28/26 at 3:39 p.m. with Resident #5's primary care Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP). The ARNP said Resident #5 roamed the hallways and was only oriented to person. She said the resident couldn't answer questions appropriately, could walk independently, and would not be able to take care of herself. She said cognitively she didn't think Resident #5 would know what to do to care for herself. The ARNP said she could see Resident #5 waiting and following someone on the elevator. She said Resident #5 was easily redirected. The ARNP said she was honestly not able to answer as to why Resident #5 didn't have an electronic monitoring device on. An interview was conducted on 1/28/26 at 2:58 p.m. with Resident #5's primary care provider (PCP). He said Resident #5 was ambulatory and definitely confused; I think from that point of view she was an elopement risk. The PCP said he did not feel that Resident #5 was capable of caring for herself outside the facility. An interview was conducted on 1/28/26 at 7:38 a.m. with the Resident Representative (RR) for Resident #5. The RR said Resident #5 did go out to the hospital and declined drastically in May but she bounced back quickly and was up and moving weeks later. The RR said she had been told by staff before that the resident tried to get out of the building, but she didn't know she ever did actually get out. The RR said she [Resident #5] was always trying to escape and was always wandering around. The RR said Resident #5 could get around good and would have been able to go down the stairs in August 2025. An interview was conducted on 1/28/26 at 12:01 p.m. with Resident Representative #2 for Resident #5. He said he was notified that the resident got out of the facility, but the facility really downplayed it. He said Resident #5 was free to do whatever she wanted here and staff didn't watch her. He said the resident had worked night shift throughout her life and would wander around all evening and night, going in and out or other resident rooms messing with their stuff and taking items. He said she was always wandering around, and he believed she was trying to get to the door/elevators to get out. He said staff told him multiple times that Resident #5 tried to get out. He said, I think she was doing it [trying to get to the doors and elevators] all the time. He said she was not watched or taken good care of.

Staff R said she went out front and helped get Resident #5 back in the building. She said Resident #5 did not have any injuries.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few supervisor letting them know Resident #5 had gotten out of the building but was back safely. They said Resident #13 had seen Resident #5 outside and directed her back to the building safely. They said the resident had been an elopement risk when she first came to the building in January 2025, but she declined and went out to the hospital in May. They said when she returned, she was not an elopement risk because she could not get out of bed. The DON said the Elopement Risk Assessment completed in May 2025 was incorrect because the nurse did it based on information prior to the resident going to the hospital. They said there were three residents in the elopement books on 8/30/25, but Resident #5 was not one of them. The DON said it wasn't until August that Resident #5 started walking good. She said the resident did not have an electronic monitoring device placed when she started walking again because she was not exit seeking. The NHA and DON reviewed Resident #5's care plan and confirmed she had been care planned for an electronic monitoring device from February through September 2025. They said during their investigation they could not determine how Resident #5 got downstairs or into the stairwell. They said they interviewed residents and staff and did not find anyone that saw Resident #5 on the elevator or that possibly rode the elevator down with her. The NHA said after getting downstairs Resident #5 somehow got into the stairwell which was only accessible from a locked door with a keypad code. They said from the stairwell there is an exit door to the outside and that is where the resident exited. The NHA said they knew she exited that door because the alarm was going off on that door, however she said the alarm was just a beeping sound that could only be heard in the stairwell or just outside of the stairwell doors . The NHA said the receptionist in the front did not hear the alarm from down the hall. The NHA and DON said the staff did not know Resident #5 had gotten downstairs and outside until Resident #13 brought her to the front of the building and the receptionist saw them. They said she had not gone missing and there was no elopement code called. They said they did do an elopement drill that evening after the incident. The NHA confirmed that Resident #5 was not observed exiting the facility and Resident #13 was the only person to see the resident outside. She said Resident #13 found Resident #5 and brought her back to the facility. A follow-up interview was conducted on 1/29/26 at 12:48 p.m. with the NHA. She stated that the electronic monitoring device is a nursing intervention and did not require a physician's order. She said they do typically put an order in the system to ensure the electronic monitoring device is checked daily by staff. An interview was conducted on 1/28/26 at 12:42 p.m. with Staff T, Occupational Therapist (OT). Staff F said Resident #5 was in the late stages of dementia and had trouble sequencing tasks. He said she would wander the halls and constantly went into other residents' rooms. Staff T said Resident #5 might go towards the elevators to get on, but she was easily redirected. He said she did follow other residents where they were going. Staff T said Resident #5 would have had the strength to open doors, but he didn't feel like she could have walked down four flights of stairs without falling. He said Resident #5 was alert and oriented to person only. Staff T said he didn't feel like staff are educated enough on treatment of dementia residents. An interview was conducted on 1/28/26 at 2:44 p.m. with Resident #5's Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). She said Resident #5 was only oriented to person and was not able to care for herself. She said she didn't necessarily think of the resident as exit seeking because she was on the fourth floor, but the resident might follow other people out. An interview was conducted on 1/28/26 at 3:39 p.m. with Resident #5's primary care Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP). The ARNP said Resident #5 roamed the hallways and was only oriented to person.

The RR said she had been told by staff before that the resident tried to get out of the building, but she didn't know she ever did actually get out. The RR said she [Resident #5] was always trying to escape and was always wandering around. The RR said Resident #5 could get around good and would have been able to go down the stairs in August 2025. An interview was conducted on 1/28/26 at 12:01 p.m. with Resident Representative #2 for Resident #5. He said he was notified that the resident got out of the facility, but the facility really downplayed it. He said Resident #5 was free to do whatever she wanted here and staff didn't watch her. He said the resident had worked night shift throughout her life and would wander around all evening and night, going in and out or other resident rooms messing with their stuff and taking items. He said she was always wandering around, and he believed she was trying to get to the door/elevators to get out. He said staff told him multiple times that Resident #5 tried to get out. He said, I think she was doing it [trying to get to the doors and elevators] all the time. He said she was not watched or taken good care of.
