F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety 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 observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to protect the resident's right to be free from neglect by not providing supervision for one resident (#1) out of four residents sampled for elopement. Residents Affected - Few At approximately 12:15 p.m. on 12/20/23, Resident #1 was able to exit the facility through a door with a wander monitoring device alarm, walk into the facility lobby area, and speak with two facility staff members. One staff member held the door open for Resident #1 to enter the lobby, and the other staff member asked Resident #1 to sign out on the visitor log. Resident #1 signed the visitor log and exited out another door with a wander monitoring device alarm. Resident #1 walked approximately 0.2 miles down a heavily trafficked road, he crossed four lanes of traffic, and called his family member to pick him up. The facility staff were not aware Resident #1 was missing until Resident #1's family member called the facility inquiring if he was there. Resident #1 was absent for approximately 32 minutes before facility staff located him and brought him back to the facility where he was identified to not have a wander monitoring device in place. Resident #1 was assessed to be at high risk for elopement with a physician's order to have a wander monitoring device in place. Review of Resident #1's medical record revealed Resident #1 did not have a wander monitoring device in place on 12/12/23, 12/13/23, 12/16/23, and 12/19/23. A wander monitoring device could not be located by nursing staff to place on Resident #1 and there was no evidence of an increase in supervision for Resident #1. The likelihood of serious physical harm or death to Resident #1 as a result of the facility's failure to provide adequate supervision to prevent the elopement resulted in findings of Ongoing Immediate Jeopardy starting 12/12/23. Findings included: Review of the facility's policy titled Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation & Misappropriation with an effective date of 11/30/2014 revealed the following: Policy: It is inherent in the nature and dignity of each resident at the center he/she be afforded basic human rights, including that right to be free from abuse, neglect, mistreatment, exploitation and/or misappropriation of property. The management of the facility recognizes these rights and hereby establishes the following statements, policies, and procedures to protect these rights and hereby establish a disciplinary policy, which results in the fair and timely treatment of occurrences of resident abuse. (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Employees of the center are charged with a continuing obligation to treat residents so they are free from abuse, neglect, mistreatment, and/or misappropriation of property. No employee may at any time commit an act of physical, psychological, or emotional abuse, neglect, mistreatment, and/or misappropriation of property against any resident. Violation of this standard will subject employees to disciplinary action, including dismissal, provided herein. Residents Affected - Few Definitions: .Neglect is the failure of the center, its employees or service providers to provide goods and services to a resident that are necessary to avoid physical harm, pain, mental anguish or emotional distress. Examples include but are not limited to; .Failure to adequately supervise a resident known to wander from the facility without the staff knowledge . An interview was conducted on 1/16/24 at 10:08 a.m. with Staff B, Activities Director (AD) she said on 12/20/23 around 12:00p.m. she relieved the receptionist. Around 12:20 p.m. to 12:30p.m. the Kitchen Manager entered the lobby from the resident hallways and Resident #1 followed behind her into the lobby. I saw him, and I thought he was a family member because he looked so much better than he did when he first came to us. His hair was combed, he was shaved, he was walking very well and confidently. I thought he was a family member, so I asked him to sign out and he wrote his name down on a blank line, he looked at the clock and signed out. It was about 5 minutes later, and his [Family Member] called me and said my husband is calling me asking me to pick him up on [Street Name] and she wanted me to make sure he was in his room. I called down to the nurse's station and the ADON answered the phone, and I asked her to look to see if he was in his room and he wasn't, so they immediately started searching for him inside and outside of the building. The [Family Member] was on hold at this time, so I told her he was not in his room, and we were looking for him. I gave her my personnel number and told her to call me on that so I could go and look for him. While I was on the phone with her [Resident #1] kept calling her and she said he was on [Street Name]. I think it was Human Resources and a nurse who found him, I'm not sure exactly where they found him, but they put him in their car and brought him back around 12:45p.m. When I got back to the facility, I saw [Resident #1] and it was at that point that I realized oh man I was the one who let him out. I couldn't believe I did that. I told the [Family Member] that we found him, and he was back, and she was a little upset and said if she didn't call me would the staff have known he was even gone? And I told her I would have the DON [Director of Nursing] call her. [Resident #1] was not injured but he did not have his [Wander Monitoring Device] on, so they put one back on him. When he walked through both doors neither alarm went off to let me know that he had an [Wander Monitoring Device] on. That's why I just thought he was a family member. When he first got here, he was door seeking and he had an [Wander Monitoring Device] on but after that I had not seen him in the hallways as often. The day he eloped it was sunny and breezy out; it was a nice day. He was wearing long sleeves, pants, loafer slippers with a rubber soul. He did not have any assistive devices when he left, and he was walking very well and confidently. He was not injured. An interview was conducted with Staff C, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on 1/16/24 at 10:50 a.m. she said she was Resident #1's CNA on 12/20/23, the day he eloped. She said around 11:30 a.m. she was working with his roommate getting him ready and at the time Resident #1 was sitting on his bed. When I left the room . [Resident #1] was still sitting on his bed around 11:45 a.m. I went to help another resident and while I was doing that the therapist came in and said that someone else needed to use the bathroom. I told her to tell the resident's family that I will be there in a minute I just need to finish up with this resident. When I came out of the room the family was in the hallway (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105951 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 30 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105951 B.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few screaming and yelling that his dad needed to use the bathroom right now. I told him I would go put my dirty linens away and be right there and he would not accept that. The ADON came over to diffuse the family member and she had asked me to step off the unit, so I went outside for about 15 minutes and the other CNA assisted the resident to the bathroom. I'm not sure where the nurse was at that time but I'm sure she was busy with a resident because this unit is the rehab [rehabilitation] unit, and it is always very busy. When I came back about 15 minutes later, I started to pass meal trays but before I could even pass one tray the ADON said [Resident #1] was missing and immediately everyone in the building started searching for him inside, outside, everywhere .When he came back, he did not have on his [Wander Monitoring Device] and he did not have any injuries thank god because that could have been really bad and he could've gotten really hurt. He walked well without any assistive devices, but he would get tired and would rest against the wall or sit down . Before he eloped, we would have to redirect him at least six or seven times a shift. When his [family] would visit and leave he would get more anxious and want to go home. He was definitely exit seeking and he did have a [Wander Monitoring Device] on his leg at one point because I would see it when he sat down and crossed his legs. He was alert but he was confused and easily redirected. The day he eloped I did not see a [Wander Monitoring Device] on him, but I also did not look. His [family] gave him a bath, shaved him, and got him dressed the night before so I did not have to do any of that in the morning and I usually check the [Wander Monitoring Device] when I do my baths . An interview was conducted with Staff C, CNA on 1/16/24 at 11:12 a.m. she said she was working the day Resident #1 eloped and she was not his CNA, but she was the other CNA on the hall. She confirmed Resident #1 was exit seeking and would need a lot of redirecting back to his room. He always wanted to go home. She said he walked well without any assistive devices he would just need to take breaks because he would get tired, and he would rest against the wall and just keep an eye on everything. An interview was conducted on 1/16/24 at 3:46 p.m. with Staff D, Human Resource (HR) she said on the day Resident #1 eloped there was an overhead page about a missing resident. She reported to the lobby and received a face sheet of the resident. As she was getting her search location Staff E, RN asked if he could drive with her. Staff D, HR said she drove out of the facility, went left, and after approximately 30 seconds she turned into a beauty salon. She said the beauty salon was located across the street from the facility. She said the resident was found sitting on a bench in front of the beauty salon and Staff E, RN got out of the car, talked to the resident for a minute, the resident walked independently with a steady gait back to the car. She said the resident got into the back seat and said I'm fine. and You're going to take me back. She drove Resident #1 and Staff E, RN back to the facility and dropped them off at the front door and went to park her car. She said she did not notice [Wander Monitoring Device], but she did not look for one. She said he did not have any injuries that she noticed. An interview was conducted on 1/16/24 at 4:00 p.m. with Staff F, Receptionist. She said on the day Resident #1 eloped she went on lunch break at 12:00 p.m. and Staff B, AD covered the receptionist desk. Staff F, Receptionist returned at 12:30 p.m. and she said when she came back everyone was a mess looking around for Resident #1 because the family member had called and said he was on the street waiting for her to pick him up. She said she asked if anyone had done an overhead page and they said they didn't, so she overhead paged for the resident to return to his room and when he didn't, she called a code silver. She said everyone continued to search for him. She was not sure where he was found. She said early the same morning between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. the family member called her to have the nurse check on him because Resident #1 had called her and said he was leaving today and needed to be picked up. She paged the nurse and the nurse said he was in his room, and he was alright just (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105951 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 30 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105951 B.

F 0600 confused because he was supposed to leave the next day. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety A phone interview was conducted on 1/17/24 at 8:44 a.m. with Staff E, RN. He said he heard the overhead page Resident #1 was missing. He said he had worked with him when he was first admitted and he was unable to walk but he knew the resident went to the hospital, came back, received rehabilitation, and saw him walking the halls without assistive devices and walked well. He said Resident #1 was confused. He said since he knew what the resident looked like, and he knew he could walk he went to check outside. When he went outside, he saw people were starting to get in their car and look, so he asked Staff D, HR if he could ride with her and she said yes, and they got into her car and went left out of the building, and he was looking for Resident #1. At the beauty salon he saw the resident sitting on the bench in front of their door. He [Resident #1] was confused, so I introduced myself to him, he did not recognize me, but he came right with me and got into the car. Staff E, RN said he brought the resident back inside the building and he heard the resident cut his wander monitoring device off. He said he spoke with the family, and they were not happy to the point they took him out of the facility right after that. Residents Affected - Few A phone interview was conducted on 1/17/24 at 10:28 a.m. with Resident #1's family member she said I was at my work, in my office it was close to noon time, 11:00-11:30 a.m., and he [Resident #1] called me and told me to go and pick him up. I thought he was just calling me from the facility but then he told me that he was on the street, and he told me [Street Name]. I was shocked because that was the name of the street the facility was on, and I thought how would he know that? I told him to wait right there. I called the facility to see if [Resident #1] was there in his room. So, everyone ran to his room, and he wasn't there, and they looked all around the facility and people were starting to drive around. I called my husband back and I said what is the name of the business you are in front of. I googled that business and I saw that it was all the way on the corner of the street .he said there are stairs and I told him to sit on the stairs I'm going to have someone pick you up. One person at the facility gave me their number so I called her, and she said she was driving in the opposite direction of where he said he was but someone else was going in that direction and the male nurse found him and brought him back to the facility and he was okay. Fortunately, [Resident #1] had his phone and he decided to call me, and I don't know what would have happened to [Resident #1] if he did not call me. I asked him how he got out, but he has memory problems and he said he hopped a fence, but the facility has security footage and he walked out of the front door, and he even signed himself out like he was a visitor. [Resident #1] is [AGE] years old, and he doesn't use a wheelchair or a walker. He did not need anything to walk at that point, so he looks like a visitor, but his mind is not right he has hallucinations and makes up stories. When he first got to the facility, he could not walk so he had a wheelchair, then he was able to use a walker, then he was able to walk on his own but still a little off balance. I was panicking because he has no memory and no sense of direction of where he was going to go .He probably just walked straight, then he got to the intersection and saw the street sign and probably did not know if he should go right or left so that is why he called me. Even if he had turned around, the road curves and you're not able to see the facility from where he was so he wouldn't know to go back there. Fortunately, I gave him his cell phone and it had enough charge on it, and he thought to call me. If those things did not happen, I don't know what would have happened to [Resident #1] if he did not think to call me. I make an effort to visit him every day, so I stay on his mind, so his mind does not forget me. He was definitely not safe to be outside by himself. When he came back to the facility for the second time after going to the hospital, they put a bracelet [Wander Monitoring Device] on him because he walked out of his room but that was probably on for only 3 or 4 days then I did not see it again. I just thought the facility took it off (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105951 If continuation sheet Page 4 of 30 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105951 B.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few because he wasn't walking out of his room anymore because when I would visit him, he was always in his room but when they brought him back, they told me he took off the bracelet and they put a new one on him right away. I didn't feel comfortable with him there after this happened. Resident #1's family member said she took him home the day after he eloped. A phone interview was conducted on 1/17/24 at 12:10 p.m. with Resident #1's Physician. She said she was aware Resident #1 had eloped. She said He is a patient who looks pretty good, very well dressed, talks well, but he has encephalopathy and some dementia. He was let out by activities and the staff found him a little bit after. He looks like a visitor but if you didn't know him and you didn't talk with him for a while you would think he was a visitor. It was critical for him when he got out but when he was in the building, he was fine, he was always in his room sitting next to his bed . An interview was conducted on 1/18/24 at 11:29 a.m. with Staff G, RN. She said, she was the nurse for Resident #1 on the day he eloped. She said she did not get anything in report about Residents #1's wander monitoring device and she did not check to see if his wander monitoring device was in place before he eloped. She said she gave Resident #1 his morning medications around 10:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. and he was sitting next to his bed. She said she had no concerns. She said Resident #1 would walk around the hallways and was an elopement risk. She said when Resident #1 returned from the elopement he did not have any injuries and he did not have a wander monitoring device on. She said he had a wander monitoring device put on when he returned. An interview was conducted with Staff I, Kitchen Manager, on 1/17/24 at 2:41 p.m. She said, it was around lunch time. I don't know what I was doing up here [the lobby]. I was going into the facility from the lobby. I was speaking to [Staff B, AD] at the desk and the gentleman [Resident #1] was coming out and I held the door for him to enter the lobby, he said hello, I said hello. He was moving slowly but steady and he had a brown bag in his hand so that is why I held the door for him. His pajama pants caught my eye to the point where I turned and watched him enter the lobby and I heard [Staff B, AD] say to him can you sign out, so I just thought he was a visitor, and she knew that. When he came back, I asked was he wearing pajama pants and they said yes, and I said oh no why didn't the alarm go off and that's when they realized he didn't have a [Wander Monitoring Device] on. In the kitchen not all the overhead pages could be heard during service. That has since been adjusted. The day of the elopement I just heard all the commotion, so I asked what is going on and that's how I found out he was missing. A phone interview was conducted with Staff H, RN on 1/17/24 at 3:08 p.m. She said she works the 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. shift. She said at the beginning of her shift, the night before Resident #1 eloped, she checked to see if he had his wander monitoring device on and it wasn't. She looked for another wander monitoring device but could not find one, so she did not put one on him. She said she did not increase supervision for the resident, and she only told the day shift nurse that he did not have his wander monitoring device on, and she could not find another one. She said the nurse charted on 12/20/23 the wander monitoring device was on the resident and when I came back after he eloped and found out about it, I asked her why she didn't put a [Wander Monitoring Device] on him, and she told me she was not really paying attention to what I was saying. Staff H, RN said 12/19/23 was the third time the resident did not have on his wander monitoring device and the second time she could not find a wander monitoring device to put back on him. The first time she realized he did not have on a wander monitoring device she told the Unit Manager and the Unit Manager said she needed one for another resident who was worse than him. So, I told the ADON I needed one and she told me she couldn't find one either. I told the day shift nurse, and she must have found one and put it on him because people were charting one was on him.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few to call her and put the resident on 1 to 1 [supervision] if I can't find a [Wander Monitoring Device] but I did not know that. When I told my ADON and the Unit Manager they did not tell me I needed to do that. I asked around to other staff and some of them didn't know we had to put residents on 1 to 1 if there isn't a [Wander Monitoring Device] on the resident. I'm not sure if that education was just to me or to everyone but everyone should have gotten that education because not everyone knows about that.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety 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 observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to provide supervision to prevent an unwitnessed exit from the facility for one resident (#1) out of four residents sampled for elopement. Residents Affected - Few Resident #1 had diagnoses to include metabolic encephalopathy, altered mental status, difficulty in walking, muscle weakness, lack of coordination, and a history of falling. Resident #1 was assessed to be at high risk for elopement with a physician's order to have a wander monitoring device in place.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few An interview was conducted on 1/16/24 at 10:08 a.m. with Staff B, Activities Director (AD) she said on 12/20/23 around 12:00p.m. she relieved the receptionist. Around 12:20 p.m. to 12:30pm. the Kitchen Manager entered the lobby from the resident hallways and Resident #1 followed behind her into the lobby. I saw him, and I thought he was a family member because he looked so much better than he did when he first came to us. His hair was combed, he was shaved, he was walking very well and confidently. I thought he was a family member, so I asked him to sign out and he wrote his name down on a blank line, he looked at the clock and signed out. It was about 5 minutes later, and his [Family Member] called me and said my husband is calling me asking me to pick him up on [Street Name] and she wanted me to make sure he was in his room. I called down to the nurse's station and the ADON answered the phone, and I asked her to look to see if he was in his room and he wasn't, so they immediately started searching for him inside and outside of the building. The [Family Member] was on hold at this time, so I told her he was not in his room, and we were looking for him. I gave her my personnel number and told her to call me on that so I could go and look for him. While I was on the phone with her [Resident #1] kept calling her and she said he was on [Street Name]. I think it was Human Resources and a nurse who found him, I'm not sure exactly where they found him, but they put him in their car and brought him back around 12:45p.m. When I got back to the facility, I saw [Resident #1] and it was at that point that I realized oh man I was the one who let him out. I couldn't believe I did that. I told the [Family Member] that we found him, and he was back, and she was a little upset and said if she didn't call me would the staff have known he was even gone? And I told her I would have the DON [Director of Nursing] call her. [Resident #1] was not injured but he did not have his [Wander Monitoring Device] on, so they put one back on him. When he walked through both doors neither alarm went off to let me know that he had a [Wander Monitoring Device] on. That's why I just thought he was a family member. When he first got here, he was door seeking and he had a [Wander Monitoring Device] on but after that I had not seen him in the hallways as often. The day he eloped it was sunny and breezy out; it was a nice day. He was wearing long sleeves, pants, loafer slippers with a rubber soul. He did not have any assistive devices when he left, and he was walking very well and confidently. He was not injured. An interview was conducted with Staff C, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on 1/16/24 at 10:50 a.m. she said she was Resident #1's CNA on 12/20/23, the day he eloped. She said around 11:30 a.m. she was working with his roommate getting him ready and at the time Resident #1 was sitting on his bed. When I left the room . [Resident #1] was still sitting on his bed around 11:45 a.m. I went to help another resident and while I was doing that the therapist came in and said that someone else needed to use the bathroom. I told her to tell the resident's family that I will be there in a minute I just need to finish up with this resident. When I came out of the room the family was in the hallway screaming and yelling that his dad needed to use the bathroom right now. I told him I would go put my dirty linens away and be right there and he would not accept that. The ADON came over to diffuse the family member and she had asked me to step off the unit, so I went outside for about 15 minutes and the other CNA assisted the resident to the bathroom. I'm not sure where the nurse was at that time but I'm sure she was busy with a resident because this unit is the rehab [rehabilitation] unit, and it is always very busy. When I came back about 15 minutes later, I started to pass meal trays but before I could even pass one tray the ADON said [Resident #1] was missing and immediately everyone in the building started searching for him inside, outside, everywhere .When he came back, he did not have on his [Wander Monitoring Device] and he did not have any injuries thank god because that could have been really bad and he could've gotten really hurt. He walked well without any assistive devices, but he would get tired and would rest against the wall or sit down .

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Before he eloped, we would have to redirect him at least six or seven times a shift. When his [family] would visit and leave he would get more anxious and want to go home. He was definitely exit seeking and he did have a [Wander Monitoring Device] on his leg at one point because I would see it when he sat down and crossed his legs. He was alert but he was confused and easily redirected. The day he eloped I did not see a [Wander Monitoring Device] on him, but I also did not look. His [family] gave him a bath, shaved him, and got him dressed the night before so I did not have to do any of that in the morning and I usually check the [Wander Monitoring Device] when I do my baths . An interview was conducted with Staff C, CNA on 1/16/24 at 11:12 a.m. she said she was working the day Resident #1 eloped and she was not his CNA, but she was the other CNA on the hall. She confirmed Resident #1 was exit seeking and would need a lot of redirecting back to his room. He always wanted to go home. She said he walked well without any assistive devices he would just need to take breaks because he would get tired, and he would rest against the wall and just keep an eye on everything. An interview was conducted on 1/16/24 at 3:46 p.m. with Staff D, Human Resource (HR) she said on the day Resident #1 eloped there was an overhead page about a missing resident. She reported to the lobby and received a face sheet of the resident. As she was getting her search location Staff E, RN asked if he could drive with her. Staff D, HR said she drove out of the facility, went left, and after approximately 30 seconds she turned into a beauty salon. She said the beauty salon was located across the street from the facility. She said the resident was found sitting on a bench in front of the beauty salon and Staff E, RN got out of the car, talked to the resident for a minute, the resident walked independently with a steady gait back to the car. She said the resident got into the back seat and said I'm fine. and You're going to take me back. She drove Resident #1 and Staff E, RN back to the facility and dropped them off at the front door and went to park her car. She said she did not notice [Wander Monitoring Device], but she did not look for one. She said he did not have any injuries that she noticed. An interview was conducted on 1/16/24 at 4:00 p.m. with Staff F, Receptionist. She said on the day Resident #1 eloped she went on lunch break at 12:00 p.m. and Staff B, AD covered the receptionist desk. Staff F, Receptionist returned at 12:30 p.m. and she said when she came back everyone was a mess looking around for Resident #1 because the family member had called and said he was on the street waiting for her to pick him up. She said she asked if anyone had done an overhead page and they said they didn't, so she overhead paged for the resident to return to his room and when he didn't, she called a code silver. She said everyone continued to search for him. She was not sure where he was found. She said early the same morning between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. the family member called her to have the nurse check on him because Resident #1 had called her and said he was leaving today and needed to be picked up. She paged the nurse and the nurse said he was in his room, and he was alright just confused because he was supposed to leave the next day. A phone interview was conducted on 1/17/24 at 8:44 a.m. with Staff E, RN. He said he heard the overhead page Resident #1 was missing. He said he had worked with him when he was first admitted and he was unable to walk but he knew the resident went to the hospital, came back, received rehabilitation, and saw him walking the halls without assistive devices and walked well. He said Resident #1 was confused. He said since he knew what the resident looked like, and he knew he could walk he went to check outside. When he went outside, he saw people were starting to get in their car and look, so he asked Staff D, HR if he could ride with her and she said yes, and they got into her car and went left out of the building, and he was looking for Resident #1. At the beauty salon he saw the resident sitting on the bench in front of their door. He [Resident #1] was confused, so I introduced myself to him, he did not recognize me, but he came right with me and got into the car.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few brought the resident back inside the building and he heard the resident cut his wander monitoring device off. He said he spoke with the family, and they were not happy to the point they took him out of the facility right after that. A phone interview was conducted on 1/17/24 at 10:28 a.m. with Resident #1's family member she said I was at my work, in my office it was close to noon time, 11:00-11:30 a.m., and he [Resident #1] called me and told me to go and pick him up. I thought he was just calling me from the facility but then he told me that he was on the street, and he told me [Street Name]. I was shocked because that was the name of the street the facility was on, and I thought how would he know that? I told him to wait right there. I called the facility to see if [Resident #1] was there in his room. So, everyone ran to his room, and he wasn't there, and they looked all around the facility and people were starting to drive around. I called my husband back and I said what is the name of the business you are in front of. I googled that business and I saw that it was all the way on the corner of the street .he said there are stairs and I told him to sit on the stairs I'm going to have someone pick you up. One person at the facility gave me their number so I called her, and she said she was driving in the opposite direction of where he said he was but someone else was going in that direction and the male nurse found him and brought him back to the facility and he was okay. Fortunately, [Resident #1] had his phone and he decided to call me, and I don't know what would have happened to [Resident #1] if he did not call me. I asked him how he got out, but he has memory problems and he said he hopped a fence, but the facility has security footage and he walked out of the front door, and he even signed himself out like he was a visitor. [Resident #1] is [AGE] years old, and he doesn't use a wheelchair or a walker. He did not need anything to walk at that point, so he looks like a visitor, but his mind is not right he has hallucinations and makes up stories. When he first got to the facility, he could not walk so he had a wheelchair, then he was able to use a walker, then he was able to walk on his own but still a little off balance. I was panicking because he has no memory and no sense of direction of where he was going to go .He probably just walked straight, then he got to the intersection and saw the street sign and probably did not know if he should go right or left so that is why he called me. Even if he had turned around, the road curves and you're not able to see the facility from where he was so he wouldn't know to go back there. Fortunately, I gave him his cell phone and it had enough charge on it, and he thought to call me. If those things did not happen, I don't know what would have happened to [Resident #1] if he did not think to call me. I make an effort to visit him every day, so I stay on his mind, so his mind does not forget me. He was definitely not safe to be outside by himself. When he came back to the facility for the second time after going to the hospital, they put a bracelet [Wander Monitoring Device] on him because he walked out of his room but that was probably on for only 3 or 4 days then I did not see it again. I just thought the facility took it off because he wasn't walking out of his room anymore because when I would visit him, he was always in his room but when they brought him back, they told me he took off the bracelet and they put a new one on him right away. I didn't feel comfortable with him there after this happened. Resident #1's family member said she took him home the day after he eloped. A phone interview was conducted on 1/17/24 at 12:10 p.m. with Resident #1's Physician. She said she was aware Resident #1 had eloped. She said He is a patient who looks pretty good, very well dressed, talks well, but he has encephalopathy and some dementia. He was let out by activities and the staff found him a little bit after. He looks like a visitor but if you didn't know him and you didn't talk with him for a while you would think he was a visitor. It was critical for him when he got out but when he was in the building, he was fine, he was always in his room sitting next to his bed . An interview was conducted on 1/18/24 at 11:29 a.m. with Staff G, RN.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few for Resident #1 on the day he eloped. She said she did not get anything in report about Residents #1's wander monitoring device and she did not check to see if his wander monitoring device was in place before he eloped. She said she gave Resident #1 his morning medications around 10:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. and he was sitting next to his bed. She said she had no concerns. She said Resident #1 would walk around the hallways and was an elopement risk. She said when Resident #1 returned from the elopement he did not have any injuries and he did not have a wander monitoring device on. She said he had a wander monitoring device put on when he returned. An interview was conducted with Staff I, Kitchen Manager, on 1/17/24 at 2:41 p.m. She said, it was around lunch time. I don't know what I was doing up here [the lobby]. I was going into the facility from the lobby. I was speaking to [Staff B, AD] at the desk and the gentleman [Resident #1] was coming out and I held the door for him to enter the lobby, he said hello, I said hello. He was moving slowly but steady and he had a brown bag in his hand so that is why I held the door for him. His pajama pants caught my eye to the point where I turned and watched him enter the lobby and I heard [Staff B, AD] say to him can you sign out, so I just thought he was a visitor, and she knew that. When he came back, I asked was he wearing pajama pants and they said yes, and I said oh no why didn't the alarm go off and that's when they realized he didn't have a [Wander Monitoring Device] on. In the kitchen not all the overhead pages could be heard during service. That has since been adjusted. The day of the elopement I just heard all the commotion, so I asked what is going on and that's how I found out he was missing. A phone interview was conducted with Staff H, RN on 1/17/24 at 3:08 p.m. She said she works the 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. shift. She said at the beginning of her shift, the night before Resident #1 eloped, she checked to see if he had his wander monitoring device on and it wasn't. She looked for another wander monitoring device but could not find one, so she did not put one on him. She said she did not increase supervision for the resident, and she only told the day shift nurse that he did not have his wander monitoring device on, and she could not find another one. She said the nurse charted on 12/20/23 the wander monitoring device was on the resident and when I came back after he eloped and found out about it, I asked her why she didn't put a [Wander Monitoring Device] on him, and she told me she was not really paying attention to what I was saying. Staff H, RN said 12/19/23 was the third time the resident did not have on his wander monitoring device and the second time she could not find a wander monitoring device to put back on him. The first time she realized he did not have on a wander monitoring device she told the Unit Manager and the Unit Manager said she needed one for another resident who was worse than him. So, I told the ADON I needed one and she told me she couldn't find one either. I told the day shift nurse, and she must have found one and put it on him because people were charting one was on him. After he eloped the Nursing Home Administrator told me I needed to call her and put the resident on 1 to 1 [supervision] if I can't find a [Wander Monitoring Device] but I did not know that. When I told my ADON and the Unit Manager they did not tell me I needed to do that. I asked around to other staff and some of them didn't know we had to put residents on 1 to 1 if there isn't a [Wander Monitoring Device] on the resident. I'm not sure if that education was just to me or to everyone but everyone should have gotten that education because not everyone knows about that. Review of Resident #1's care plans revealed no elopement risk care plan and no interventions related to the monitoring or supervision of Resident #1. There was a care plan with a revision date of 10/20/23 and revealed At risk for leaving the center against medical advice R/T [related to] alcohol use due to substance disorder.

They came back here [the facility] and he was reassessed with a skin sweep with no injuries, he had a [Wander Monitoring Device] placed on him, he did not have a [Wander Monitoring Device] on, had his BIMS redone and it was a 12 out of 15, [indicating moderate cognitive impairment] prior to that on 12/5/23 his BIMS was 99 because he was refusing to have a BIMS done. The NHA and the RNC said the immediate response was a new elopement risk assessment on everyone in facility completed on 12/20/23 and then new admissions were completed to make sure they had their seven-day elopement assessment. The RNC said, Once residents come in, we do an elopement assessment and then seven days later we do another elopement assessment to make sure we are capturing any changes after admission. We audited everyone who was at elopement risk and ensured the care plans were in place with appropriate interventions. We made sure they had physician's orders for expiration date, placement, function, and where it [wander monitor device] was placed. All the doors and the wander guard system in itself were inspected by the former Maintence and the Maintence Assistant. No issues were found with the doors or the wander guard system The NHA said It was the fault of the Activities Director letting him [Resident #1] out of the doors and the resident not having his [Wander Monitoring Device] on. The RNC said, The elopement books were updated to update the current residents at risk for elopement. The NHA said, We have them at the receptionist area, therapy, and all the nursing stations. In the books should be a colored copy of the patient, a description of the resident, and the Facesheet of the resident. The RNC said, There is also the process of what the staff need to do if an elopement occurs in the binder. The DON [Director of Nursing] is responsible for the books. The NHA said it's the clinical teams responsibility to ensure the elopement book are up to date. The RNC said, Every week day when they have the clinical meeting they [Interdisciplinary team] looks through each binder to remove discharges and add admitted residents who are at risk. The DON or designee will update the elopement books. The NHA said they are in the books every day. the NHA clarified they as the clinical team or designee. The NHA said we would do an overhead page and we would hide an actual resident and observe the staff response. We would also do door alarms to see how the staff are responding. After the drill, would be reminders on what to do. Another discussion would be if you cannot find the resident inside then you go outside and contact responsible parties and law enforcement. The RNC said, The drills were pretty heavy because we were doing them every shift multiple times a day and now we are doing all shifts once a week. The NHA said, The drills are going good. There seemed to be questions between one wing and the other on closing the door after it has already been searched. The NHA said, When the overhead page is called the staff are supposed to search their assigned areas. The RNC said, The staff are supposed to first respond to the area where the person is missing and receive their assignment on where they need to search. As they are walking to the area of the missing resident they can look around as they are headed to the area. The RNC said there was an ad hoc QAPI meeting held with the IDT team on 12/20/23, and she attended via phone. She also said there was a follow up QAPI meeting on 1/9/24.

Review of Resident #1's medical record revealed no evidence Resident #1 had an increase in supervision when he did not have his wander monitoring device in place. An interview was conducted on 1/16/24 at 10:08 a.m. with Staff B, Activities Director (AD) she said on 12/20/23 around 12:00pm. she relieved the receptionist. Around 12:20 p.m. to 12:30pm. the Kitchen Manager entered the lobby from the resident hallways and Resident #1 followed behind her into the lobby. I saw him, and I thought he was a family member because he looked so much better than he did when he first came to us. His hair was combed, he was shaved, he was walking very well and confidently. I thought he was a family member, so I asked him to sign out and he wrote his name down on a blank line, he looked at the clock and signed out. It was about 5 minutes later, and his [Family Member] called me and said my husband is calling me asking me to pick him up on [Street Name] and she wanted me to make sure he was in his room. I called down to the nurse's station and the ADON answered the phone, and I asked her to look to see if he was in his room and he wasn't, so they immediately started searching for him inside and outside of the building. The [Family Member] was on hold at this time, so I told her he was not in his room, and we were looking for him. I gave her my personnel number and told her to call me on that so I could go and look for him. While I was on the phone with her [Resident #1] kept calling her and she said he was on [Street Name]. I think it was Human Resources and a nurse who found him, I'm not sure exactly where they found him, but they put him in their car and brought him back around 12:45pm. When I got back to the facility, I saw [Resident #1] and it was at that point that I realized oh man I was the one who let him out. I couldn't believe I did that. I told the [Family Member] that we found him, and he was back, and she was a little upset and said if she didn't call me would the staff have known he was even gone? And I told her I would have the DON [Director of Nursing] call her. [Resident #1] was not injured but he did not have his [Wander Monitoring Device] on, so they put one back on him. When he walked through both doors neither alarm went off to let me know that he had a [Wander Monitoring Device] on. That's why I just thought he was a family member. When he first got here, he was door seeking and he had a [Wander Monitoring Device] on but after that I had not seen him in the hallways as often. The day he eloped it was sunny and breezy out; it was a nice day. He was wearing long sleeves, pants, loafer slippers with a rubber soul. He did not have any assistive devices when he left, and he was walking very well and confidently. He was not injured. An interview was conducted with Staff C, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on 1/16/24 at 10:50 a.m. she said she was Resident #1's CNA on 12/20/23, the day he eloped. She said around 11:30 a.m. she was working with his roommate getting him ready and at the time Resident #1 was sitting on his bed.

F 0867 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few When I left the room . [Resident #1] was still sitting on his bed around 11:45 a.m. I went to help another resident and while I was doing that the therapist came in and said that someone else needed to use the bathroom. I told her to tell the resident's family that I will be there in a minute I just need to finish up with this resident. When I came out of the room the family was in the hallway screaming and yelling that his dad needed to use the bathroom right now. I told him I would go put my dirty linens away and be right there and he would not accept that. The ADON came over to diffuse the family member and she had asked me to step off the unit, so I went outside for about 15 minutes and the other CNA assisted the resident to the bathroom. I'm not sure where the nurse was at that time but I'm sure she was busy with a resident because this unit is the rehab [rehabilitation] unit, and it is always very busy. When I came back about 15 minutes later, I started to pass meal trays but before I could even pass one tray the ADON said [Resident #1] was missing and immediately everyone in the building started searching for him inside, outside, everywhere .When he came back, he did not have on his [Wander Monitoring Device] and he did not have any injuries thank god because that could have been really bad and he could've gotten really hurt. He walked well without any assistive devices, but he would get tired and would rest against the wall or sit down . Before he eloped, we would have to redirect him at least six or seven times a shift. When his [family] would visit and leave he would get more anxious and want to go home. He was definitely exit seeking and he did have a [Wander Monitoring Device] on his leg at one point because I would see it when he sat down and crossed his legs. He was alert but he was confused and easily redirected. The day he eloped I did not see a [Wander Monitoring Device] on him, but I also did not look. His [family] gave him a bath, shaved him, and got him dressed the night before so I did not have to do any of that in the morning and I usually check the [Wander Monitoring Device] when I do my baths . An interview was conducted with Staff C, CNA on 1/16/24 at 11:12 a.m. she said she was working the day Resident #1 eloped and she was not his CNA, but she was the other CNA on the hall. She confirmed Resident #1 was exit seeking and would need a lot of redirecting back to his room. He always wanted to go home. She said he walked well without any assistive devices he would just need to take breaks because he would get tired, and he would rest against the wall and just keep an eye on everything. An interview was conducted on 1/16/24 at 3:46 p.m. with Staff D, Human Resource (HR) she said on the day Resident #1 eloped there was an overhead page about a missing resident. She reported to the lobby and received a face sheet of the resident. As she was getting her search location Staff E, RN asked if he could drive with her. Staff D, HR said she drove out of the facility, went left, and after approximately 30 seconds she turned into a beauty salon. She said the beauty salon was located across the street from the facility. She said the resident was found sitting on a bench in front of the beauty salon and Staff E, RN got out of the car, talked to the resident for a minute, the resident walked independently with a steady gait back to the car. She said the resident got into the back seat and said I'm fine. and You're going to take me back. She drove Resident #1 and Staff E, RN back to the facility and dropped them off at the front door and went to park her car. She said she did not notice [Wander Monitoring Device], but she did not look for one. She said he did not have any injuries that she noticed. An interview was conducted on 1/16/24 at 4:00 p.m. with Staff F, Receptionist. She said on the day Resident #1 eloped she went on lunch break at 12:00 p.m. and Staff B, AD covered the receptionist desk. Staff F, Receptionist returned at 12:30 p.m. and she said when she came back everyone was a mess looking around for Resident #1 because the family member had called and said he was on the street waiting for her to pick him up. She said she asked if anyone had done an overhead page and they said they didn't, so she overhead paged for the resident to return to his room and when he didn't, she called a code (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105951 If continuation sheet Page 26 of 30 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105951 B.

F 0867 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm silver. She said everyone continued to search for him. She was not sure where he was found. She said early the same morning between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. the family member called her to have the nurse check on him because Resident #1 had called her and said he was leaving today and needed to be picked up. She paged the nurse and the nurse said he was in his room, and he was alright just confused because he was supposed to leave the next day. Residents Affected - Few A phone interview was conducted on 1/17/24 at 8:44 a.m. with Staff E, RN. He said he heard the overhead page Resident #1 was missing. He said he had worked with him when he was first admitted and he was unable to walk but he knew the resident went to the hospital, came back, received rehabilitation, and saw him walking the halls without assistive devices and walked well. He said Resident #1 was confused. He said since he knew what the resident looked like, and he knew he could walk he went to check outside. When he went outside, he saw people were starting to get in their car and look, so he asked Staff D, HR if he could ride with her and she said yes, and they got into her car and went left out of the building, and he was looking for Resident #1. At the beauty salon he saw the resident sitting on the bench in front of their door. He [Resident #1] was confused, so I introduced myself to him, he did not recognize me, but he came right with me and got into the car. Staff E, RN said he brought the resident back inside the building and he heard the resident cut his wander monitoring device off. He said he spoke with the family, and they were not happy to the point they took him out of the facility right after that. He said after the elopement they did elopement education, supervision education, and did elopement drills but as of last week there is still confusion on exactly how the drills are supposed to be run. At first everyone was meeting in one area to get their assignments. Then everyone was staying in their areas to look but that did not get told to everyone so there was confusion. A phone interview was conducted on 1/17/24 at 10:28 a.m. with Resident #1's family member she said I was at my work, in my office it was close to noon time, 11:00-11:30 a.m., and he [Resident #1] called me and told me to go and pick him up. I thought he was just calling me from the facility but then he told me that he was on the street, and he told me [Street Name]. I was shocked because that was the name of the street the facility was on, and I thought how would he know that? I told him to wait right there. I called the facility to see if [Resident #1] was there in his room. So, everyone ran to his room, and he wasn't there, and they looked all around the facility and people were starting to drive around. I called my husband back and I said what is the name of the business you are in front of. I googled that business and I saw that it was all the way on the corner of the street .he said there are stairs and I told him to sit on the stairs I'm going to have someone pick you up. One person at the facility gave me their number so I called her, and she said she was driving in the opposite direction of where he said he was but someone else was going in that direction and the male nurse found him and brought him back to the facility and he was okay. Fortunately, [Resident #1] had his phone and he decided to call me, and I don't know what would have happened to [Resident #1] if he did not call me. I asked him how he got out, but he has memory problems and he said he hopped a fence, but the facility has security footage and he walked out of the front door, and he even signed himself out like he was a visitor. [Resident #1] is [AGE] years old, and he doesn't use a wheelchair or a walker. He did not need anything to walk at that point, so he looks like a visitor, but his mind is not right he has hallucinations and makes up stories. When he first got to the facility, he could not walk so he had a wheelchair, then he was able to use a walker, then he was able to walk on his own but still a little off balance. I was panicking because he has no memory and no sense of direction of where he was going to go .He probably just walked straight, then he got to the intersection and saw the street sign and probably did not know if he should go right or left so that is why he called me.

Fortunately, I gave him his cell phone and it had enough charge on it, and he thought to call me. If those things did not happen, I don't know what would have happened to [Resident #1] if he did not think to call me. I make an effort to visit him every day, so I stay on his mind, so his mind does not forget me. He was definitely not safe to be outside by himself. When he came back to the facility for the second time after going to the hospital, they put a bracelet [Wander Monitoring Device] on him because he walked out of his room but that was probably on for only 3 or 4 days then I did not see it again. I just thought the facility took it off because he wasn't walking out of his room anymore because when I would visit him, he was always in his room but when they brought him back, they told me he took off the bracelet and they put a new one on him right away. I didn't feel comfortable with him there after this happened. Resident #1's family member said she took him home the day after he eloped. A phone interview was conducted on 1/17/24 at 12:10 p.m. with Resident #1's Physician. She said she was aware Resident #1 had eloped. She said He is a patient who looks pretty good, very well dressed, talks well, but he has encephalopathy and some dementia. He was let out by activities and the staff found him a little bit after. He looks like a visitor but if you didn't know him and you didn't talk with him for a while you would think he was a visitor. It was critical for him when he got out but when he was in the building, he was fine, he was always in his room sitting next to his bed. I was involved with their plan of correction to prevent this from happening again and I signed off on everything. An interview was conducted on 1/18/24 at 11:29 a.m. with Staff G, RN. She said, she was the nurse for Resident #1 on the day he eloped. She said she did not get anything in report about Residents #1's wander monitoring device and she did not check to see if his wander monitoring device was in place before he eloped. She said she gave Resident #1 his morning medications around 10:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. and he was sitting next to his bed. She said she had no concerns. She said Resident #1 would walk around the hallways and was an elopement risk. She said when Resident #1 returned from the elopement he did not have any injuries and he did not have a wander monitoring device on. She said he had a wander monitoring device put on when he returned. An interview was conducted with Staff I, Kitchen Manager, on 1/17/24 at 2:41 p.m. She said, it was around lunch time. I don't know what I was doing up here [the lobby]. I was going into the facility from the lobby. I was speaking to [Staff B, AD] at the desk and the gentleman [Resident #1] was coming out and I held the door for him to enter the lobby, he said hello, I said hello. He was moving slowly but steady and he had a brown bag in his hand so that is why I held the door for him. His pajama pants caught my eye to the point where I turned and watched him enter the lobby and I heard [Staff B, AD] say to him can you sign out, so I just thought he was a visitor, and she knew that. When he came back, I asked was he wearing pajama pants and they said yes, and I said oh no why didn't the alarm go off and that's when they realized he didn't have a [Wander Monitoring Device] on. In the kitchen not all the overhead pages could be heard during service. That has since been adjusted. The day of the elopement I just heard all the commotion, so I asked what is going on and that's how I found out he was missing. A phone interview was conducted with Staff H, RN on 1/17/24 at 3:08 p.m. She said she works the 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. shift. She said at the beginning of her shift, the night before Resident #1 eloped, she checked to see if he had his wander monitoring device on and it wasn't. She looked for another wander monitoring device but could not find one, so she did not put one on him.

F 0867 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few have his wander monitoring device on, and she could not find another one. She said the nurse charted on 12/20/23 the wander monitoring device was on the resident and when I came back after he eloped and found out about it, I asked her why she didn't put a [Wander Monitoring Device] on him, and she told me she was not really paying attention to what I was saying. Staff H, RN said 12/19/23 was the third time the resident did not have on his wander monitoring device and the second time she could not find a wander monitoring device to put back on him. The first time she realized he did not have on a wander monitoring device she told the Unit Manager and the Unit Manager said she needed one for another resident who was worse than him. So, I told the ADON I needed one and she told me she couldn't find one either. I told the day shift nurse, and she must have found one and put it on him because people were charting one was on him. After he eloped the Nursing Home Administrator told me I needed to call her and put the resident on 1 to 1 [supervision] if I can't find a [Wander Monitoring Device] but I did not know that. When I told my ADON and the Unit Manager they did not tell me I needed to do that. I asked around to other staff and some of them didn't know we had to put residents on 1 to 1 if there isn't a [Wander Monitoring Device] on the resident. I'm not sure if that education was just to me or to everyone but everyone should have gotten that education because not everyone knows about that.
