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. Another patient's family member stated they saw
resident behind the building walking down the street. Writer, (V3), and 2 CNA staff took off running to
patient. Samaritan was standing with patient. (V3) got truck from parking lot and drove over. (V3) and writer
picked patient up and placed in passenger seat of truck. DON notified. POA (Power of Attorney) present.
Full body check done. Patient has no open areas or areas of concern.R2's Progress Note, dated 9/3/25 at
2:32 PM, documents the following: This nurse spoke to (V3), who stated he was going to discharge his
mother home to his house on 9/5/25. (V3) stated he feels that if he takes her home, she would be safer, and
he wouldn't have to worry about her. (V3) stated he didn't feel safe with the facilities back fence being open.
I let (V3) know I understand, and we would do what we could to make the transition for this resident to go
home as successful as possible.R2's Progress Note, dated 9/5/25 at 2:22 PM, documents the following:
(V3) and his wife in building to discharge patient home. Medications and treatment order gone over with

the facility. V3 stated he asked V4, LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse), where R2 was, they looked for her but
could not find her. V3 stated he was going to the nurse's station by the door R2 exited out of and heard the
alarm screaming. V3 stated the alarm could not be heard from the 100/300 hall nurse's station until he
came closer to the 200-hall door exit. V3 stated he and V4 went outside to the fenced in courtyard and did
not see her. A young lady called and stated the facility had a patient out on the road behind the facility. V3
stated they went to that area and R2 was standing in the road in front of a vehicle, where two ladies were
with R2. V3 stated he tried to get R2 to walk back to the facility, but she was so weak, he had to go and get

gate to the fenced in area outside the 200-hall door was not locked or latched. V3 stated when he asked
about this, he was told that they could not lock/latch it because it was illegal due to it preventing residents

building, didn't see her. V2 stated a family member told them she was at the back of the facility. V2 stated
they found her at the back of the facility, R2 couldn't make it back into the building so V3 got his truck and
drove her back to the facility. V2 stated R2 was being treated for a UTI at the time she eloped. V2 stated it
was determined that it was approximately 3 minutes from the time R2 was missing, until she was found. V2
stated R2 did not have any injuries. V2 stated R2 was normally confused but hadn't exited or attempted to
exit the building prior to 8/22/25, that she is aware of. V2 denied concerns with the alarms, she can hear it
from her office, which is located across from the 100/300 hall nurse's station. V2 stated the latch to the
courtyard gait off of the 200 hall exit door was broken and has been fixed. V2 stated V3 asked her why it
wasn't latched, and she told him because they weren't required to.On 9/12/25 at 2:08 PM, V4, LPN, stated
R2 had been in the hospital, was weak, and was using her wheelchair. V4 stated the morning of 8/22/25,
R2 was doing much better, she was using her walker and going to activities. V4 stated she had just finished
her evening med pass, unsure of exact time, and V3 had come into the facility and stopped at the 100/300
hall nurse's station where she was and they were talking about how well R2 was doing, V3 stated they
talked about 2-3 minutes as they were walking down the 200 hall towards R2's room with R2 walking in
front of them. V2 stated V3 went into R2's room, did his thing, getting R2's laundry/linen. V3 then came out
of R2's room and said, I guess mom disappeared on me. At that same time there was a resident sitting
there and said R2 had just headed down the 300 hall, so V3 and V4, went to the 300 hall, searched every
room, the dining room and were heading back towards the 200 hallway and when they reached a little ways
down the 200 hall where the ice machine is, they started to hear an alarm but couldn't tell where it was
coming from. V4 stated the alarm was not sounding normally, it wasn't loud at all, and she couldn't hear it
until she got closer to the 200-hall door exit. V4 stated V3 was with her the entire time. On their way to the
200-hall door, V6, CNA, was on the hallway passing out meal trays, V4 told V6, R2 was missing and
instructed her to go down the 400 hallway and then outside that door to search. V4 stated she and V3 went
out and searched the courtyard along the fence line heading towards the front parking lot, front of the
facility, they made it to the front entrance and as they were coming back into the facility, she heard staffing
paging her over the intercom and she was told a family member stated R2 was on the street behind the
facility. When V3 and V4 got to R2, she was with V6, a bystander and there was a USPS van that had pulled
into the street to block any traffic from getting through. V4 stated R2 had not made any attempts to exit prior
to that. V4 stated R2 would make comments that her car was out in the parking lot, and she needed to go
to it and they would tell her, V3 has your car and R2 would say okay but would never try to exit the building
or go towards the doors. V4 stated she is not sure how long the 200 hall exit door alarm was sounding
because she couldn't hear it from the 100/300 hall nurses' station until she went down the 200 hall, it was
not sounding loud enough to hear it. V4 stated she isn't sure how long it was from when R2 was missing
until she was found. On 9/16/25 at 8:20 AM, V7, Maintenance Director, stated the 200-hall door alarm was
acting up yesterday 9/15/25 and it had to be reset, but is working fine now. V7 stated they are changing the
door alarms to an audible voice instead of a beeping noise that will state over the intercom which door
alarm is sounding. V7 thinks this is to be installed next week. V7 stated he tests the alarms routinely and
denied any problems with them. On 9/16/25 at 8:25 AM, V1, Administrator, acknowledged that the 200-hall
door alarm could not be heard from the 100/300 hall nurse's station. V1 stated they have a nurse stationed
at the 200 hall nurses' station at all times, so the alarm can be heard. V1 stated if the nurse isn't at the 200
hall nurses' station, they have therapy control it, the department managers do rounds, and the CNAs should
be cautious and aware. V1 stated there
