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 provide supervision to prevent elopement for 2 out of 2 residents (R2, R4). This failure resulted in R2 eloping through the front entrance at 2:05 AM unsupervised and the facility being notified of his location 4.4 miles away at 10:52 AM. This failure resulted in R4 eloping from the front door and being found across a busy two-lane road that borders the front of the facility approximately 500 feet away from the entrance at 1:27 PM. The Immediate Jeopardy began on 11/22/25 at 2:05 AM when R2 eloped through the facility's front door, R2 was not reported missing until six hours later at approximately 8:00 AM and found at 10:52 AM about 4.4 miles away from the facility in R2's wheelchair. On 1/15/26 at 3:40 PM, V1 (Administrator) was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy.
