interview and record review the facility failed to properly assess and supervise a resident during an out of
state physician's appointment for 1 of 4 residents (R2) reviewed for supervision in a sample of 16. This
failure resulted in R2 who is known of returning from day passes intoxicated, not returning to the facility on
[DATE] directly after the appointment with non-emergency ambulance transportation provider or staff escort
and instead returning on public transportation after going sightseeing.The Immediate Jeopardy began on
08/19/25 when Due to the facility's failure to properly assess and supervise a resident (R2) during an out of
state physician's appointment. This failure resulted in R2 not returning to the facility on [DATE] and instead
going sightseeing on public transportation. This comes following a history of R2 not returning to the facility
as planned, after being signed out with V5, R2's friend and the facility not being able to locate R2, despite
contacting the friend. R2 subsequently arrived back to the facility intoxicated after being on a leave of
absence (LOA) on both 06/15/25 and 08/15/25. Findings Include: V1, Administrator, V20, Regional
Operations, and V22, Registered Nurse Certified (RNC) were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on

(i.e., social worker, nurse, CNA, peer) and by verbalizing thoughts, needs and feelings, identify areas that
put resident at risk.Review assessment information. Emphasize treatment of casual factors and/or
interventions designed to moderate/reduce symptoms (make treatment of compulsive behavior, substance

with slurred speech and unsteady gait. patient approached by staff with reports of strong odor of alcohol on
breath Patient admitted to consuming alcohol off site prior to return to facility. No chest pain or dizziness
reported. No nausea or vomiting noted. History of Present Illness: This is a [AGE] year-old male admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with a primary dx (diagnosis) of multiple falls, patient had multiple witnessed falls by
bystanders, with at least one fall involving head trauma. In the ED (Emergency Department) patient was
made code stroke status on arrival. CT (Computed Tomography scan) head negative for stroke or
hemorrhage. Stroke team recommended no TNK (Tenecteplase). Patient was hypertensive to 165/104 with
HR (Heart Rate) 113. R2's Electronic Medical Record (EMR) was reviewed and had no documented time of
when R2 left for his appointment or documented time of when he returned to the facility from his
appointment. R2's EMR had three prescriptions from the out-of-town appointment, dated 08/19/25 at 10:33
AM, and documented he was to start on Gabapentin 300 milligrams (mg) take on capsule three times a
day, Camphor-menthol 0.5-0.5% lotion, apply to affected area three times daily as needed for itching, and
Kenalog 0.1% cream, apply to affected areas twice daily as needed for itch. On 08/27/25 at 11:15 AM, V3,
Activities Aide said the incident happened sometime last week she isn't sure of the dated. She said R3
went out to a doctor's appointment by himself and when transportation went to go and pick him up, he
wasn't there. She said V1 and two other staff went to look for him and they found him down on state street
and he was drunk. V3 said transportation called up to the facility and asked if R3 was back yet and they told
them no. She said that's why residents aren't allowed to go by themselves on appointments now someone
must go with them. On 08/28/25 at 9:15 AM, R2 said when he goes on appointments the facility will take
him in the van or they will have a med car or uber take him sometimes. R2 said after his doctor's
appointment on the 19th (August) he was supposed to call the driver of the car service, and the driver
would come back and get him, but he didn't do that. He said he found an adventure pass for the bus, so he
used it to come back to the facility. He said he wanted to just go sight-seeing, and he returned to the facility
about 2:00 PM or 3:00 PM at afternoon. R2 said the time he was found on State/25th street was a different
time. He said V5, (R2's friend), had signed him out and he had slipped away from V5 because V5 was being
a little irresponsible. R2 said the facility had then called V5 to track him down because V5 would know
where to find him. He said V5 found him on 25th street after he spent the night there. R2 said when he is
out, he will have a cigarette and a beer sometimes. On 08/28/25 at 11:37 AM, V5, (R2's friend) said on one
incident the facility called him and asked if he knew where R2 was at. He said I know where he hangs out,
so I went and found him and took him back to the facility. V5 said he did not stay with him that night and he
doesn't know where he stayed. V5 said that was the first time R2 had left him like that. V5 said R2 use to
work down on 25th street so he knows a lot of people from that area. On 09/02/25 at 11:10 AM, V7,
Transportation stated when someone has an appointment, he is the one who makes up all of the resident
packets that is sent with them and he is also the one who calls and makes the arrangements for the
resident's rides to and from the appointments. He said with R2 he called the insurance company and gave
them the information regarding the appointment. The insurance company then will put it out there for
someone to pick it up. V7 said he knows on the day of R2's appointment it was A- One med care that
picked R2 up from the facility. He said R2 had an envelope with all of information in it and on the back of the
envelope was the phone number of the facility and of the car service. V7 said R2 was to either call the car
service or he could call the facility to let them know he was done with his appointment and the facility would
then call the car service and let them know he was ready to be picked up. V7 said when you call to inform
the car service you are ready to be picked up it can take them up to an hour to come and get you. V7 said

this day R2 didn't call the facility or the car service to let them know he was ready to be picked up. He said
the car service then called the facility and asked them if they had heard from R2 because it was getting
close to time for him to quit for the day and he hadn't heard from R2. The facility told him they haven't seen
R2 and that he wasn't at the facility at that time. V7 said he believes Illinois Department of Public Health
(IDPH) was in the facility at the time this all happened. He said some of the staff went over to the doctor's
office where R2 had his appointment and were looking for him and he wasn't there. V7, he doesn't believe
R2 returned with the staff when they came back either. He said this has happened on several occasions
and they haven't been documenting on it. V7 said he know for a fact that on this day V8, Receptionist was
on and off the phone with the car service regarding R2. On 09/02/25 at 12:48 PM, V11, (med car transport)
said he was the person who took R2 to his doctor's appointment in St. Louis. He said he dropped R2 off at
the appointment and just kind of waited around for R2 to get a hold of him after he was done with the
appointment, but he never contacted him. He said it was getting late and close to the end of his shift for the
day, so he called the facility and checked to see if R2 was there. He said he talked with V8 at the facility and
she called the doctor's office and was on hold for 30 minutes and while she was on hold R2 came walking
in the doors. V11 said they don't know how he made it home he just showed up. On 09/02/25 at 1:23 PM,
V9, Primary Care Physician said R2's baseline is he is cognitively intact with a BIMS of 15 so he can make
sound decisions. As for when he is drinking is anybody capable of making sound decisions. V9 said they
should always monitor and make sure the resident is okay while they are intoxicated. He said they have
policies in place for that to determine their cognition. V9 said if he would expect the facility to assess the
resident at that point and time and monitor their alcohol use. It's kind of bordering on resident rights. He
would also expect them to make an on-the-spot assessment to determine if they are cognitively impaired in
anyway. On 09/02/25 at 1:45 PM, V8, Receptionist said she let R2 know when he was done with his
appointment to contact the facility, and they would call the ride company and send them to get him. She
said R2 never did contact the facility, and the car company called the facility asking if they knew where R2
was. She said the car company was closing early that day, and they still hadn't heard from R2, and he was
calling to check about him. V8 said she did try and contact the doctor's office regarding R2, but she could
never get through to anyone and she was on the phone waiting for over a half an hour. She said she was on
hold until after 1 PM. She said that was when she informed them (facility staff) here about R2. V8 said he
did come in the front door during this time, but she isn't sure how he got here to the facility. She said she
was busy working the desk and didn't see how he got here. On 09/02/25 at 2:40 PM, V12, Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN) said when someone goes on an appointment, they usually send someone with that
person, and she doesn't know why he (R2) didn't have someone with him. V12 said no she doesn't feel like
R2 is able to make safe decisions at all. She said he wouldn't be here if he was. He's here for a reason. V12
said she has seen R2 here at the facility intoxicated. On 09/02/25 at 2:45 PM, V13, LPN said she usually
isn't R2's nurse that she always works on a different hall when she works. She said she heard about R2
and what happened but that's it. She said they usually have someone with them when they go out on an
appointment. She doesn't feel R2 is safe to make sound decisions at all. On 09/03/25 at 1:40 PM, V17,
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) said 25th and State Street is a busy street, and a lot of people hang out
there. She said it depends on what you get yourself into, but that street can be rough. V17 said about six to
eight months ago a restaurant located on that street had an employee who was shot and fatally wounded
while at work and it was shut down for about three weeks. She said there is a lot of drinking and some
people there are doing drugs. She said you will see people
