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. The facility failed to ensure its door alarms were loud enough to be heard from areas away from the 200 hall exit door and its outside gait latch was in working order to prevent elopement in 1 of 4 residents (R2) reviewed for elopement in the sample of 4. This led to R2 eloping from the facility, which is located on a busy intersection and approximately 100 yards from an active railroad track. The Immediate Jeopardy began on 8/22/25, when R2 eloped from the facility. On 9/16/25 at 10:45 AM, V1, Administrator, and V2, DON, were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy. The surveyor confirmed by observation, interview and record review, the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 9/16/25 but remains at Level Two because additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the in-service training. Findings Include:On 9/16/25 at 8:20 AM, this surveyor went to the 100/300 nurse's station and V7 activated the 200-hall door alarm, it could not be heard from the 100/300 hall nurse's station until approximately 20 feet down the 200 hallway, and when it was heard, the surveyor was unable to discern what type of alarm it was. On 9/16/25 at 8:00 AM, 8:20 AM, and 8:29 AM, there were no staff observed at the 200 hall nurses' station next to the 200-hall exit door. There was only one therapy staff in the building, and she was at the front of the building in the main dining room, not near the 200-hall exit door or the 200-hall nurses' station. R2's Progress Note, dated 8/22/25 at 7:16 PM, documents the following: Writer and (V3, R2's Son) were down 300 hall looking for patient as another resident told us she had come past desk and went down 300. Room search did not come up with patient. As writer and son rounded 100/300 nurses' desk, writer heard alarm going off from 200/400. (V3), writer, and (V6, CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) started running. Writer and (V3) went out 200-hall door, (V6) went to 400 south to search for patient. Writer searched courtyard, to the outside of fence to front parking lot not locating resident. When writer entered front door, nursing staff was calling writer STAT to 200/400 hall doors.
