Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews, observation, record and policy review, the facility failed to protect the resident's right to be free
from neglect when it failed to provide supervision to protect resident safety as evidenced by disregarding
the procedure to prevent the resident from eloping, failed to search for the missing resident timely, and
failed to provide essential medications, for 1 of 3 sampled residents (Resident #1). The deficient practice
allowed Resident #1 to exit the facility undetected on 06/18/25 at 8:26 PM. There were 111 residents in the
facility at the time of the survey. The facility's Administrator was notified of Immediate Jeopardy on 06/25/25
at 4:09 PM. The immediate jeopardy was removed at the time of the facility exit on 06/26/25. Cross
reference to F689. The findings included: Review of the facility's policy titled, Abuse and Neglect Prohibition
revised 8/2023, documented, Each resident has the right to be free from mistreatment, neglect, abuse,
involuntary seclusion, exploitation, and misappropriation of property. Neglect means failure to provide good
and services necessary to avoid physical harm, mental anguish, or mental illness. Record review revealed
Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Speech and Language
Deficits Following Other Nontraumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage, Schizophrenia, and Traumatic
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Resident #1 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] post hospitalization for a
fall with tibial fracture. He ambulated without assistance. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS)
assessment dated [DATE] documented a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 13 that indicated
the resident was cognitively intact. On 06/19/25, the resident's BIMS score was 15 that indicated the
resident was cognitively intact. Review of a psychiatry note dated 06/19/25 revealed the resident had a
speech impairment that can make communication challenging, but he is alert to person, place and time.
Resident #1 had an elopement risk screen completed on 12/06/24 with an elopement risk screen score of
2, which indicated the resident was at elopement risk. An alert bracelet was applied to the resident's left
ankle and a care plan was developed. The goal of the care plan was to maintain safety. At the time of
elopement, the alert bracelet was worn on his left ankle. The alert bracelet alarms when the resident is near
a door that has a sensor on it. The door automatically locks. A staff member can use a secure code to
bypass the system. The video of the elopement event was viewed by the surveyor. The video had no sound.
The video noted that on 06/18/25 at 8:09 PM, the pharmacy courier entered the exterior door of the facility
which was unlocked. Once inside, the courier rang the doorbell of the inside interior door and waited until
8:11 PM for someone to open the door. When no one came to answer the doorbell, he pushed the inside
interior door open at 8:11 PM. This is a fire door and when pushed for 15 seconds, the door will unlock, the
alarm will sound, and it will disarm the bracelet alert system. He entered the facility at 8:11:41 PM. At that
time, Resident #1 was in the courtyard walking around. At 8:26:12 PM, the courier left the building through
the front door. At 8:26:17 PM, Resident #1 walked out the front door. No staff were observed by the door

until the Maintenance Director reset the alarm at 8:36 PM. At the time of the elopement, there were 5
nurses and 11 certified nursing assistants working in the facility. When the front door alarmed, no staff
initially responded to the alarm. It was alarmed for 25 minutes and was turned off by the Maintenance
Director. The surveyor heard the alarm volume at the current sound level on 06/23/25 at 10:30 AM, then
asked for the sound to be heard at the level it was at the time of the elopement, and it was at softer level at
that time. The facility is shaped as a square. An observation was conducted on 06/19/25 at 10:00 AM of
Resident #1's room. Resident #1's room was located on the west, front side of the facility. There is a west
front unit, a nurse's station, and a west back unit. A hallway joins the west back to the east back unit. There
is an east back unit, a nurse's station, and then an east front unit. A hallway joins the east front to the west
front and the front door is in the middle of the joined hallway. The courtyard is opposite of the front door. In
an interview with the Maintenance Director at 3:10 PM on 06/23/25, he stated he was working in the back
section of the facility, and when he walked through the facility before he left for the evening, he noticed the
annunciator and buzzer sounding and a light which told what door it was (this was located at the nurse's
station). The front door was unlocked, and the alarm was beeping. He punched in the pass code which is
on the side of the door, to reset it. He stated that the alarm stays beeping until it is reset. Staff A, Registered
Nurse (RN), who worked the 3-11 shift, stated in a phone interview on 06/23/25 at 12:30 PM that she was
aware of the alarm at the time the Maintenance Director turned it off. She worked the 3PM-11PM shift that
day (06/18/25) in the 200 unit (east side). She heard the alarm on 06/18/25 around 8:00 PM. When she
stepped out of one of the residents' rooms on the east side, the Maintenance Director was approaching the
same direction to the door. Because he was going to the door, she did not. He disarmed it. Prior to the
alarm going off, she saw the pharmacy courier and she got the medications from him. She does not know
how he got into the building. He gave the medications to the east wing first, then the west wing. She did not
see him after that. She did not say anything to anyone about hearing the alarm. A review was conducted of
a witness statement from Staff E, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), who was assigned to Resident #1 on
the 3PM-11PM shift on 06/18/25. The statement revealed she saw him in bed at approximately 7:45-8 PM.
Around 9:30 PM, she rounded again, and the resident was not in the room. It was not strange since he is
always walking. She did not hear any alarm. She continued to do the care to residents until it was time to
leave (11PM). A telephone interview was conducted with Staff F, CNA on 06/23/25 at 1:25 PM. He was
revealed he worked the 3PM-11PM shift. He was helping another CNA change the roommate of Resident
#1 around 9:00 PM on 06/18/25. At 8:00 PM, he saw Resident #1 on the courtyard bench. The resident
always goes into the courtyard. Staff F stated he left the facility around 11:15 PM and did not know
Resident #1 was missing. A telephone interview was conducted on 06/23/25 at 1:36 PM, with Staff C, CNA
on 11PM-7AM shift. She was working with Resident #1's roommate when she first came into the facility at
10:32 PM. She is not sure if Resident #1 was in bed at the time. During the second round, she reported to
Staff B, the resident's assigned nurse, that Resident #1 was not in bed (she rounds every 2 hours, but she
did not know the exact time). They looked in all the rooms for him and outside the building. A telephone
interview was conducted with Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), on 06/23/25 at 12:15 PM. She stated
she was the night nurse taking care of Resident #1 on 06/18/25 on the 11:00 PM-7:00 AM shift. She stated
at 11:00 PM, she thought she saw the resident in bed but later found out he was not. She did not make any
other observations at that time. At about 12:15 AM, she went back to the unit. When she went into Resident
#1's room to check on him, she noticed he was not in bed. It did not alarm her because he is easy to
redirect and comes to the nursing station during the night. She stated that

she was going to check on where he was, but another room put the call-light on and needed assistance.
Then, she forgot to look for Resident #1. About 30 minutes later, Staff C, CNA, came to her and asked if
Resident #1 was watching television. Staff B then realized she didn't see him in his bed. Everyone started
looking for him. She and Staff D, RN, who was working the 11PM-7AM shift on the east back area of the
facility, went outside to search the perimeter but did not find him. She stated that around 1:45 AM, Code
Silver was called. Per the facility's guideline titled Emergency Color-Code Guide, Code Silver is designated
for elopements in the facility. Code Silver + room number denotes that a resident cannot be located. This
code immediately initiates a center-wide search. Review of the facility's policy titled Resident Elopement
revised 8/2023, documented when a resident is unable to be located on the premises, staff will: Determine
if the resident is out on an authorized leave or pass. If not: Notify the Administrator and the Director of
Nursing Services. Conduct a thorough search of the center and premises.The facility staff did not inform the
Administrator of the missing resident for over 2 hours after staff realized the resident was missing. A
telephone interview was conducted on 06/23/25 at 1:40 PM, with Staff D, RN, who worked the 11PM-7AM
on the east back hall. He stated around 3:00 AM, he was charting and was notified that Resident #1 was
missing. He started searching all the bathrooms but did not find him. Then he started looking outside.
Another nurse called the Administrator and Director of Nurses (DON) and he continued searching. He and
Staff B went by car to see if they could locate him. In an interview with the Administrator, who is also the
Risk Manager, on 06/23/25 at 10:00 AM, she stated she was notified of the elopement on 06/19/25 at
approximately 3:30 AM. She immediately made her way to the facility and called the Port Saint [NAME]
police and DCF (Department of Children and Families) to notify them of the elopement. Resident #1 was
returned to the facility on [DATE] at approximately 8:30 AM by the Port Saint [NAME] Police Department.
The resident was returned to the facility by the police 12 hours after he exited the facility. Review of the
police report revealed the police responded to the facility at 4:37 AM on 06/19/25. They were given a
description of Resident #1 and began to search for him. He was found by police on US Highway 1 in Fort
[NAME] the morning of 06/19/25 walking on the sidewalk north bound. He was not carrying a phone, wallet,
or any form of identification. He was identified by verbally telling the police his name. He was then
transported back to the facility at 8:41AM on 06/19/25. An interview was conducted with Resident #1 on
06/23/25 at 10:35 AM regarding the elopement on 06/18/25. He stated he left around 8:00 PM and started
walking. He ended up in a church parking lot for a while. It was getting dark when he left. He was wearing
shorts and sneakers. He pushed the door open. He followed someone out, he didn't know the name of the
person. He stated he walked on the sidewalk the entire time. He was found by a public safety officer on US
1 in the morning. The surveyor travelled the route by car from [NAME] Hall to the Fort [NAME] police
station. Review of the route the resident stated he walked revealed an 11 mile walk to the Fort [NAME]
Police station. The resident would likely have crossed the street at Hillmoor Drive and [NAME] Ave, which is
a busy crosswalk with a traffic light in front of a hospital. Travelling northbound on US 1 revealed there is a
sidewalk all the way up to the police station. US 1 goes from 3 lanes each direction, to 2 lanes in Fort
Pierce. On each side of the highway, there are commercial properties like stores, churches, gas stations.
The speed limit was 45 miles per hour (MPH) in Port St [NAME], then 40 MPH near the railroad crossing by
[NAME] Road and US 1. At the Fort [NAME] police station, the speed limit was 35 MPH. There are 20 traffic
lights from where the resident would have started walking on US 1 to where the Fort [NAME] police station
was located. Each traffic light had a side street so the resident would have had to cross the side street.
There was one railroad crossing. There were 2 traffic lights with side streets that do not have a

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, observation, record and policy review, the facility failed to provide appropriate supervision to
prevent an elopement which resulted in the resident exiting the facility undetected and whereabouts
unknown for 12 hours as he walked along a highway that put him at risk of being hit by an automobile for 1
of 3 sampled residents (Resident #1). The deficient practice allowed Resident #1 to exit the facility
undetected on 06/18/25 at 8:26 PM. There were 111 residents in the facility at the time of the survey. The
facility's Administrator was notified of Immediate Jeopardy on 06/25/25 at 4:09 PM. The Immediate
Jeopardy was removed by the time of the facility exit on 06/26/25. Cross reference to F600. The findings
included: Review of the facility's policy titled Resident Elopement revised 8/2023, documented when a
resident is unable to be located on the premises, staff will: Determine if the resident is out on an authorized
leave or pass. If not: Notify the Administrator and the Director of Nursing Services. Conduct a thorough
search of the center and premises. Record review revealed Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses that included Speech and Language Deficits Following Other Nontraumatic
Intracranial Hemorrhage, Schizophrenia, and Traumatic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Resident #1 was
readmitted to the facility on [DATE] post hospitalization for a fall with tibial fracture. He ambulated without
assistance. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] documented a
Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 13 that indicated the resident was cognitively intact. On
06/19/25, the resident's BIMS score was 15 that indicated the resident was cognitively intact. Review of a
psychiatry note dated 06/19/25 revealed the resident had a speech impairment that can make
communication challenging, but he is alert to person, place and time. Resident #1 had an elopement risk
screen completed on 12/06/24 with an elopement risk screen score of 2, which indicated the resident was
at elopement risk. An alert bracelet was applied to the resident's left ankle and a care plan was developed.
The goal of the care plan was to maintain safety. At the time of elopement, the alert bracelet was worn on
his left ankle. The alert bracelet alarms when the resident is near a door that has a sensor on it. The door
automatically locks. A staff member can use a secure code to bypass the system. The video of the
elopement event was viewed by the surveyor. The video had no sound. The video noted that on 06/18/25 at
8:09 PM, the pharmacy courier entered the exterior door of the facility which was unlocked. Once inside,
the courier rang the doorbell of the inside interior door and waited until 8:11 PM for someone to open the
door. When no one came to answer the doorbell, he pushed the inside interior door open at 8:11 PM. This
is a fire door and when pushed for 15 seconds, the door will unlock, the alarm will sound, and it will disarm
the bracelet alert system. He entered the facility at 8:11:41 PM. At that time, Resident #1 was in the
courtyard walking around. At 8:26:12 PM, the courier left the building through the front door. At 8:26:17 PM,
Resident #1 walked out the front door. No staff were observed by the door until the Maintenance Director
reset the alarm at 8:36 PM. At the time of the elopement, there were 5 nurses and 11 certified nursing
assistants working in the facility. When the front door alarmed, no staff initially responded to the alarm. It
was alarmed for 25 minutes and was turned off by the Maintenance Director. The surveyor heard the alarm
volume at the current sound level on 06/23/25 at 10:30 AM, then asked for the sound to be heard at the
level it was at the time of the elopement, and it was at softer level at that time. The facility is shaped as a
square. An observation was conducted on 06/19/25 at 10:00 AM of Resident #1's room. Resident #1's room
was located on the west, front side of the facility. There is a west front unit, a nurse's station, and a west
back unit. A hallway joins the west back to the east back unit. There is an east back unit, a nurse's station,

then an east front unit. A hallway joins the east front to the west front and the front door is in the middle of
the joined hallway. The courtyard is opposite of the front door. In an interview with the Maintenance Director
at 3:10 PM on 06/23/25, he stated he was working in the back section of the facility, and when he walked
through the facility before he left for the evening, he noticed the annunciator and buzzer sounding and a
light which told what door it was (this was located at the nurse's station). The front door was unlocked, and
the alarm was beeping. He punched in the pass code which is on the side of the door, to reset it. He stated
that the alarm stays beeping until it is reset. Staff A, Registered Nurse (RN), who worked the 3-11 shift,
stated in a phone interview on 06/23/25 at 12:30 PM that she was aware of the alarm at the time the
Maintenance Director turned it off. She worked the 3PM-11PM shift that day (06/18/25) in the 200 unit (east
side). She heard the alarm on 06/18/25 around 8:00 PM. When she stepped out of one of the residents'
rooms on the east side, the Maintenance Director was approaching the same direction to the door.
Because he was going to the door, she did not. He disarmed it. Prior to the alarm going off, she saw the
pharmacy courier and she got the medications from him. She does not know how he got into the building.
He gave the medications to the east wing first, then the west wing. She did not see him after that. She did
not say anything to anyone about hearing the alarm. A review was conducted of a witness statement from
Staff E, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), who was assigned to Resident #1 on the 3PM-11PM shift on
06/18/25. The statement revealed she saw him in bed at approximately 7:45-8 PM. Around 9:30 PM, she
rounded again, and the resident was not in the room. It was not strange since he is always walking. She did
not hear any alarm. She continued to do the care to residents until it was time to leave (11PM). A telephone
interview was conducted with Staff F, CNA on 06/23/25 at 1:25 PM. He was revealed he worked the
3PM-11PM shift. He was helping another CNA change the roommate of Resident #1 around 9:00 PM on
06/18/25. At 8:00 PM, he saw Resident #1 on the courtyard bench. The resident always goes into the
courtyard. Staff F stated he left the facility around 11:15 PM and did not know Resident #1 was missing. A
telephone interview was conducted on 06/23/25 at 1:36 PM, with Staff C, CNA on 11PM-7AM shift. She
was working with Resident #1's roommate when she first came into the facility at 10:32 PM. She is not sure
if Resident #1 was in bed at the time. During the second round, she reported to Staff B, the resident's
assigned nurse, that Resident #1 was not in bed (she rounds every 2 hours, but she did not know the exact
time). They looked in all the rooms for him and outside the building. A telephone interview was conducted
with Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), on 06/23/25 at 12:15 PM. She stated she was the night nurse
taking care of Resident #1 on 06/18/25 on the 11:00 PM-7:00 AM shift. She stated at 11:00 PM, she
thought she saw the resident in bed but later found out he was not. She did not make any other
observations at that time. At about 12:15 AM, she went back to the unit. When she went into Resident #1's
room to check on him, she noticed he was not in bed. It did not alarm her because he is easy to redirect
and comes to the nursing station during the night. She stated that she was going to check on where he
was, but another room put the call-light on and needed assistance. Then, she forgot to look for Resident #1.
About 30 minutes later, Staff C, CNA, came to her and asked if Resident #1 was watching television. Staff B
then realized she didn't see him in his bed. Everyone started looking for him. She and Staff D, RN, who was
working the 11PM-7AM shift on the east back area of the facility, went outside to search the perimeter but
did not find him. She stated that around 1:45 AM, Code Silver was called. Per the facility's guideline titled
Emergency Color-Code Guide, Code Silver is designated for elopements in the facility. Code Silver + room
number denotes that a resident cannot be located. This code immediately initiates a center-wide
search.Review of the facility's policy titled Resident Elopement revised 8/2023, documented when a
resident is unable

to be located on the premises, staff will: Determine if the resident is out on an authorized leave or pass. If
not: Notify the Administrator and the Director of Nursing Services. Conduct a thorough search of the center
and premises.The facility staff did not inform the Administrator of the missing resident for over 2 hours after
staff realized the resident was missing. A telephone interview was conducted on 06/23/25 at 1:40 PM, with
Staff D, RN, who worked the 11PM-7AM on the east back hall. He stated around 3:00 AM, he was charting
and was notified that Resident #1 was missing. He started searching all the bathrooms but did not find him.
Then he started looking outside. Another nurse called the Administrator and Director of Nurses (DON) and
he continued searching. He and Staff B went by car to see if they could locate him. In an interview with the
Administrator, who is also the Risk Manager, on 06/23/25 at 10:00 AM, she stated she was notified of the
elopement on 06/19/25 at approximately 3:30 AM. She immediately made her way to the facility and called
the Port Saint [NAME] police and DCF (Department of Children and Families) to notify them of the
elopement. Resident #1 was returned to the facility on [DATE] at approximately 8:30 AM by the Port Saint
[NAME] Police Department. The resident was returned to the facility by the police 12 hours after he exited
the facility. Review of the police report revealed the police responded to the facility at 4:37 AM on 06/19/25.
They were given a description of Resident #1 and began to search for him. He was found by police on US
Highway 1 in Fort [NAME] the morning of 06/19/25 walking on the sidewalk north bound. He was not
carrying a phone, wallet, or any form of identification. He was identified by verbally telling the police his
name. He was then transported back to the facility at 8:41AM on 06/19/25. An interview was conducted with
Resident #1 on 06/23/25 at 10:35 AM regarding the elopement on 06/18/25. He stated he left around 8:00
PM and started walking. He ended up in a church parking lot for a while. It was getting dark when he left.
He was wearing shorts and sneakers. He pushed the door open. He followed someone out, he didn't know
the name of the person. He stated he walked on the sidewalk the entire time. He was found by a public
safety officer on US 1 in the morning. The surveyor travelled the route by car from [NAME] Hall to the Fort
[NAME] police station. Review of the route the resident stated he walked revealed an 11 mile walk to the
Fort [NAME] Police station. The resident would likely have crossed the street at Hillmoor Drive and [NAME]
Ave, which is a busy crosswalk with a traffic light in front of a hospital. Travelling northbound on US 1
revealed there is a sidewalk all the way up to the police station. US 1 goes from 3 lanes each direction, to 2
lanes in Fort Pierce. On each side of the highway, there are commercial properties like stores, churches,
gas stations. The speed limit was 45 miles per hour (MPH) in Port St [NAME], then 40 MPH near the
railroad crossing by [NAME] Road and US 1. At the Fort [NAME] police station, the speed limit was 35
MPH. There are 20 traffic lights from where the resident would have started walking on US 1 to where the
Fort [NAME] police station was located. Each traffic light had a side street so the resident would have had
to cross the side street. There was one railroad crossing. There were 2 traffic lights with side streets that do
not have a crosswalk. Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for June 2025 revealed that
on 06/19/25 Resident #1 missed the morning dose of Depakote Sprinkles 125mg, 6 capsules po [orally]
which were due upon rising (hours of 6:00 AM-10:00 AM); Abilify 15 mg tab was also due upon rising; and
the Lidocaine external patch 4% was due to be applied at 6:00 AM. Depakote Sprinkles are used for
Epilepsy and Bipolar Disorder. Abilify is used to treat Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder and Depression. A
Lidocaine patch is used as a local anesthetic that can help relieve minor pain. The facility submitted an
acceptable Immediate Jeopardy Removal Plan on 06/26/25 that included: a. On 06/19/2025, educated the
pharmacy vendor they cannot pull the door for 15 seconds to enter the building as it disabled the alerting
bracelet system. Thus, allowing the residents to exit the building without the
