This survey cited 1 deficiency, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few 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 (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.
