**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility to ensure a resident with acute delusions was monitored and
supervised. This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for safety in the sample of 3.
The findings include:
R1's face sheet shows she is a [AGE] year old female with diagnoses including unspecified psychosis,
cerebral infarction, hypertension, adjustment disorder with depressed mood, weakness and unsteadiness
on feet. R1's face sheet shows she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] from the hospital.
On 6/11/25 at 9:57 AM, R2 (R1's roommate) said on Friday night (6/6/25), R1 woke up screaming after the
nurse woke her up to give her medications. R1 was screaming your not my nurse, your not my nurse. R1
also alleged the nurse put something on her wrist and was hurting her (blood pressure cuff). R1 kept yelling
and finally a male nurse came in V3 (Assistant Director of Nursing-ADON) and tried to calm her down. R1
was looking out the window yelling to call 911, and yelling out for Michael call 911. R2 said V3 sat in the
room for a while until R1 calmed down. She said she did not witness any staff hurt R1. R2 said this was the
2nd night in a row she could not sleep because of R1 was not right during the night. R1 was fine during the
day, we would talk, but during the night she was not right, not humane. Maybe she was sundowning, she
was confused and a different person during the night.
On 6/11/25 at 11:31 AM, V3 (ADON) said he came in to cover the first half of the 3rd shift due to a call off.
He said sometime after 12:00 AM, he heard yelling from R1's room. R1 was picking up the blinds saying
her husband (V7) was outside. There was a car outside, but it was not her husband. V3 said he encouraged
R1 to go back to sleep. R1 was alert and oriented and he thought maybe she was not getting enough rest.
On 6/11/25 at 11:11 AM, V4 (RN) said she came in at 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM and split the shift with V3. It was
reported, R1 had behaviors of agitation but was re-directable. R1 was awake when she started her shift. R1
was placed at the nurses station so she could be supervised about 2:30-3:00 AM. R1 was pleasant when
she was at the nurses station. She saw R1 last around 4:45 AM to 5:00 AM at the front lobby near the
nurses station. Around 5:15 AM, V5 (Certified Nursing Assistant-CNA) came up to me if I had seen R1. She
told V5 to check all the rooms and the basement and V6 (CNA) checked the rooms upstairs. V4 said she
went outside to look for her and did not see her. She went back in the building and V5 and V6 reported they
did not locate R1. V4 said she went back outside to the end of the driveway and saw R1 in her wheelchair
down the street on the sidewalk. She assisted R1 back to the building, notified the POA and V2 (Director of
Nursing). R1 told her she was trying to leave because she did not want to be at the facility anymore and
reported an allegation of abuse. She said she was

being abused by the RN who runs this place. R1 said it was a male nurse with glasses. R1 was very
agitated, tearful and delusional. R1 remained with staff until V7 (R1's husband) showed up to the facility. R1
was placed at the nurses station for monitoring, V5 (CNA) got up to answer a call light and when she
returned R1 was gone. We initiated a code gray and R1 was found shortly after with no injury.
On 6/11/25 at 11:43 AM, V5 (CNA) said on 6/7/25, R1 was placed at the nurses station between 2:30 AM
-3:00 AM. We were checking on her every 15 minutes and kept her at the nurses station. She got up to
answer a call light before 5:00 AM and assisted a resident with cares and when she returned back to the
nurses station, R1 was not at the nurses station. She asked V4 (RN) if she had seen R1 and then they
started searching for R1 in the building. They searched every room, downstairs and did not locate R1.
When she looked outside V4 (RN) was with R1 and we got R1 back in the building. R1 was in her
wheelchair fully dressed when she left the building. She remained with R1 until V7 (R1's husband) arrived.
V5 said R1 was calm whle at the nurses station and did not show any signs of elopement.
On 6/11/25 at 12:04 PM, V7 said on 6/7/25, he received a call about 5:30 AM that R1 went outside in her
wheelchair down the street from the facility. He said when he arrived to the facility about 15 minutes and R1
was very agitated and wanted to leave the facility. She alleged the nurse had slammed her and they were
trying to hurt her roommate. She also alleged they put something on her wrist. V7 said he took R1 home
and she has been fine since. Recently they made changes to her antipsychotic medications before her
admission and she had a recent urinary tract infection. V7 said when R1 gets sick she gets delusional and
maybe with the changes in her psych meds could have caused the delusions. V7 said he was R1 for most
of the day on 6/6/25 and left the facility about 7:00 PM and R1 was fine.
On 6/11/25 at 10:54 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing-DON) said she was notified about 5:15 AM, they could not
locate R1. V4 (RN) found R1 outside on the sidewalk about 130 feet away from the facility. Prior to that R1
was at the nurses station being monitored for acute behaviors and V5 (CNA) got up to answer a call light
and when she returned R1 was not at the desk. They searched for R1 in the facility and found R1 outside
within 30 minutes. She notified V7 (R1's husband) and he went to the facility right away. R1 alleged
allegation of abuse during this time and reported to V7 they would notify the police. V7 declined for the
police to respond and took her home. R1 was a recent admit from the hospital with UTI, she was cognitively
intact, and did not display exit seeking behaviors prior. There was a referred for psych prior and a UA was
ordered due the recent behavior. They followed our protocol when they could not locate a resident and she
was found with no injury. R1 had not shown exit-seeking behaviors prior. She would expect the staff to
supervise a resident with acute cognitive changes.
R1's Community Skills Determination form dated 5/27/25 shows she is alert, oriented, and free from
confusion allowing her to be considered for independent pass privileges.
The facility's Elopement Event Policy revised 8/22 states, The facility has a plan in case of an elopement of
a resident from the facility. This enables the missing resident to be found as quickly as possible and to
maintain the residents safety, dignity and privacy. If a resident is discovered missing: alert the nursing
supervisor, staff on the unit should perform a thorough search of the unit/area. Notify the
Administrator/DON immediately and announce facility code overhead. Immediately begin a thorough search
of the facility grounds .when the resident is found the DON or administrator will notify the residents
representative and police .
