#5 exited the facility at approximately 4:15 p.m., unnoticed by staff. Resident #5 had severely impaired
cognition, ambulated independently, had wandering behaviors, and did not have an electronic monitoring
device on. Resident #5 was able to get from the fourth floor to the first floor, access a stairwell door that
should have been locked, and then exit the facility. 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. The findings of Immediate Jeopardy were determined to be corrected on
9/3/25.Findings included:Review of Resident #5's progress notes showed:8/30/25 4:46 p.m. Nursing

Review of Resident #5's physical therapy notes showed: -8/29/25 Ambulation: Gait Distance =275 feet with
no assistive device. 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. He said when she sat on the bench a

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.

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. Review of a facility policy titled Abuse, Neglect,
Exploitation & Misappropriation, revised 11/16/2022, showed:POLICY:It is inherent in the nature and dignity
of each resident at the center that he/she be afforded basic human rights, including the right to be free from

prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and records review the facility failed to provide supervision to prevent elopement for one resident
(#5) out of three residents reviewed for elopement risk. On 8/30/25 Resident #5 exited the facility at
approximately 4:15 p.m., unnoticed by staff. Resident #5 had severely impaired cognition, ambulated
independently, had wandering behaviors, and did not have an electronic monitoring device on. Resident #5
was able to get from the fourth floor to the first floor, access a stairwell door that should have been locked,
and then exit the facility. 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. The findings of Immediate Jeopardy were determined to be corrected on 9/3/25. Findings included:

wandering behavior throughout the unit and requires frequent redirection for safety. Resident demonstrates
episodes of verbal and physical aggression toward staff during provision of care.Review of Resident #5's
physical therapy notes showed: -8/29/25 Ambulation: Gait Distance =275 feet with no assistive device.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. He said when she sat on the bench a 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

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. 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. Review of a facility policy titled Missing
Patient/Resident, revised 8/1/2020 showed:Overview:Staff will investigate cases of missing patient/resident
and possible elopement. An elopement occurs when a patient/resident leaves the premises or a safe area
without authorization and or any necessary supervision to do so, placing the patient at risk for harm or
injury. Review of a facility policy titled Elopement/Wandering Risk Guideline, revised 8/1/2020,
showed:Overview:To evaluate and identify patient/residents that are at risk for elopement and develop
individualized interventions.Process:-Patient/Residents to be evaluated on admission, re-admission, 7 days
post admission, quarterly, with a significant change in condition, and elopement event using the risk tool. -If
a patient/resident is identified as being at risk complete an Elopement Risk Alert and obtain a photograph.
-Initiate individualized interventions based on Patient/Residents' risk. -Document individualized
interventions in the patient/resident Care Plan and Kardex [a quick reference document used by staff to
provide care that contains essential resident information]. -If utilizing a wander monitoring system device
check placement of the device every shift and functionality every day. -Maintain the Elopement Risk Alerts
in an easily accessible location. -Complete routine elopement drills monthly and review in QAPI [Quality
Assurance Performance Improvement] meeting. The facility's immediate actions to remove the Immediate
Jeopardy included: Identified resident #5 was returned to facility on 8/30/2025 by Weekend Supervisor. On
8/30/2025 Resident #5 had a skin assessment, pain assessment, and change of condition completed with
no negative findings. On 8/30/2025 Resident #5 Attending Physician was notified on 8/30/2025 and gave

Staff A stated the kitchen staff are contracted and he has been coming to the facility frequently to assist as
they have not been able to keep staff in the kitchen. The Regional Dietary Manager stated staff to include
cooks and dietary aides are hired but they do not stay, so they routinely have shortages but he helps out
with dietary needs to include cooking, prepping, plating trays, passing meal tray carts out to the floor and
also with cleaning and paperwork. The Regional Dietary Manager stated he is a chef so he has been filling
in at times to cook meals at the facility. The Regional Dietary Manager reveled Dietary staff start coming in

issues with getting meals out timely during mainly dinner service, and has been working with his Regional
Dietary Manager to get fully staffed. When asked why he is having staffing issues, The Dietary Manger
replied, I am not sure, but I hire cooks and they don't stay long. He continued to say; I have hired about 3
cooks the past two weeks and they never tell me why they leave. He stated he is having Dietary Aide
staffing issues as well, but not as bad as the cooks staffing. The Dietary Manager Staff B stated his boss,
the Regional Dietary Manager Staff A does come in at least twice a week to help with various things to

residents during mainly the dinner meal service since around 11/2025 and they are trying to correct the
issue. The Dietary Manager was unaware if residents were communicated with in relation to kitchen
