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
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure adequate supervision and prevent an
intermittently confused resident from exiting the facility, unannounced to staff, through alarmed exit doors
after a visitor silenced the door alarm without staff knowledge. Staff failed to monitor the alarm system and
failed to recognize the resident's elopement. The resident exited the building unsupervised, during freezing
temperatures, wearing only a tee shirt and sweatpants. Approximately 13 minutes later, the resident was
discovered by a patrolling police officer in the facility parking lot, adjacent to an access road used by
residents of a nearby apartment complex, creating a high risk for traffic- related injury. The resident was
found lying on the ground next to an overturned wheelchair and had sustained multiple contusions and
lacerations requiring an emergency room evaluation for one of four residents (R1), reviewed for accidents
and supervision, in a sample of seven. The facility's failure to prevent unauthorized silencing of exit alarms;
monitor alarm status; provide adequate supervision of an intermittent cognitively impaired resident and
identify and respond promptly to an elopement placed the resident in immediate danger of serious injury or
death, including hypothermia, trauma from falls or being struck by a vehicle. Findings include:These failures
resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy. The Immediate Jeopardy started on 12/10/25 when R1 exited the
facility, unannounced to staff, through alarmed exit doors after a visitor silenced the door alarm without staff
knowledge.V1 (Administrator) and V2 (Director of Nurses) were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on
02/23/2026 at 1:40 P.M.While the immediacy was removed on 02/23/2026, the facility remains out of
compliance at a severity Level II as additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation and
effectiveness of their removal plan and Quality Assurance monitoring.The facility policy, Elopements and
Wandering Residents, dated (revised) 2/2/26 directs staff, This facility ensures that residents who exhibit
wandering behavior and/or are at risk for elopement receive adequate supervision to prevent accidents,
and receive care in accordance with their person-centered plan of care addressing the unique factors
contributing to wandering or elopement risk. Elopement occurs when a resident leaves the premises or a
safe area without authorization and/or necessary supervision to do so. The facility is equipped with door
locks/alarms to help avoid elopements. Alarms are not a replacement for necessary supervision. Staff are
to be vigilant in responding to alarms in a timely manner. The facility shall establish and utilize a systemic
approach to monitoring and managing residents at risk for elopement or unsafe wandering. Including
identification and assessments of risk, evaluation and analysis of hazards and risks, implementing
interventions to reduce hazards and risks and monitoring for effectiveness and modifying interventions
when necessary. Any staff member becoming aware of a missing resident will alert personnel using facility
approved protocol. The designated staff will look for the resident. If the resident is not located in the building
or on the grounds, Administrator or designee will notify the police department and serve as designated
liaison between the

2/19/26 at 12:09 P.M., V3/Assistant Director of Nurses (ADON)/Wound Nurse stated that all residents are
assessed upon admission for being an elopement risk per the admitting nurse. If a resident is determined to
be at risk of eloping, a (wandering alert bracelet) is placed, which is checked for placement and function
every shift by the nurse and documented. V3 states the facility policy is if a door alarm is sounded, staff
immediately respond to the door and if a resident is unable to be located, they announce a Code Yellow. A
code yellow includes facility staff surveying the surrounding area, locating the missing resident and
performing a whole house head count to account for all residents. At that time, V3 stated the facility had not
had a resident elopement within the past 6 months. V3 further stated that all resident family members and
visitors are given the code to the facility front door to enter and exit the building, at which time any alarm
would be silenced. States R1 was assessed upon admission as not being an elopement risk. States on
12/4/25, V12/Former MDS Coordinator completed a BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status) which
documented that R1 was cognitively intact. At that time, R1 was determined to not be an elopement risk.

was confused, V3 stated that R1's confusion was intermittent. On 2/19/26 at 12:18 P.M., V1/Administrator
stated R1 did not have a (wandering alert bracelet) in place on 12/10/25 when he exited the facility door,
around seven pm, unannounced to staff, in freezing temperature conditions with only a tee shirt and
sweatpants on, and was found by a patrolling police officer in the middle of the facility parking lot with his
wheelchair over turned, lying injured on the road. V1 states R1's BIM (Brief Interview for Mental status) was
13:15, despite licensed staff documentation of confusion. States she reviewed the facility camera footage of
the front door on 12/10/25 at it shows R1 open the first door at 7:08 PM, the outside door at 7:09 PM and
the front door alarming until 7:13 PM, when a facility visitor (unable to clearly see who that was) entered a
code in the alarm pad, shutting off the alarm. V1/Administrator states no facility staff responded to the
alarm, no Code Yellow was announced to alert staff to a missing resident, and no head count was
performed to determine who the missing resident was. V1 states V5/Certified Nursing Assistant was
observed leaving the facility through the front door at 7:15 PM. V1 stated that V5 reentered the facility
sometime later, but she doesn't remember what time that was. When V1 was asked to share the video

alert bracelet) to exit, as it locks the door if a resident with a bracelet gets too close. States the second door
is locked at all times and a code must be entered. States he conducts routine weekly checks of all facility
doors. States if the door alarm is sounding and someone entering the facility enters the code, the door is
unlocked, and the alarm is silenced. States as far as he is aware, most family members have been given
the code to the doors so they can enter and exit as desired. On 2/23/26 at 9:32 A.M., V1/Administrator
stated staff are trained during orientation by the Social Services Director (V16) on the facility Code Yellow
protocol. States the facility does Code Yellow drills but is unable to state how frequently. States when a door
alarm is sounding, the facility protocol is for someone to respond to the alarm and do a preliminary search
of the area, if no resident is seen, Code Yellow is announced, and the nurses are responsible for completing
a facility wide head check. If a missing resident is noted, then a wider facility perimeter check is completed
and if the resident is unable to be located at that time, the police are called. On 2/23/26 at 9:38 A.M.,
V16/Social Services Director stated most (facility) family members have the code to the front door so they
can enter and exit anytime.On 2/23/26 at 9:47 A.M., V4/Licensed Practical Nurse stated he was working the
evening of 12/10/26 and R1 was assigned to him. States he had been assigned to R1 in the past and knew
R1 was confused at times. States he had witnessed R1's spouse enter the code to the front door in front of
R1 many times during the evening. States R1 even knew the code to the front door as V4 had overheard R1
repeat it. States when he came to work on 12/10/25 at 6 PM, he was told in report that R1 was very
agitated and anxious. States when he talked with R1, that R1 was very fixated and adamant that he had to
be somewhere. States R1 was wandering around, going to the front door repeatedly. States he made the
decision to administer Lorazepam 0.5 MG (milligrams) by mouth to R1 in an effort to get R1 to calm down.
States after he administered the Lorazepam at 6:54 PM, R1 remained in the lobby, in his wheelchair while
V4/LPN headed down the hall to pass evening medications to other residents. States he did not place R1
on 1:1 supervision. States he did not inform R1's assigned CNA to increase supervision of R1. States he
did not hear the door alarm when he was down the hall taking care of other residents and did not know that
R1 had exited the facility. States he only became aware of the situation when V5/Certified Nursing Assistant
ran back into the facility to alert him that R1 was injured in the parking lot. States it is common practice in
the facility for resident family members to be given the code to the door alarm, so they can come and go as
they want. On 2/23/26 at 10:10 A.M., V7's spouse entered the facility front doors by entering a code into the
two doors. At that time, stated his spouse has been a resident since last fall and facility staff provided him
