**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. The
surveyor confirmed by observation, interview and record review that the Immediate Jeopardy was removed
on 1/16/26, but noncompliance remains at Level Two because additional time is needed to evaluate the
implementation and effectiveness of the in-service training.Findings include:1.R2's face sheet documented
he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of, in part, aphasia, acute and chronic respiratory
failure, dementia with agitation, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, facial weakness following
cerebral infarction and unsteadiness on feet. R2' Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], documented R2
to be severely cognitively impaired, requiring partial/moderate assistance from staff to transfer from bed to
chair/chair to bed. R2 also utilizes a wheelchair and requires supervision or touching assistance to wheel
50 feet and when making two turns. R2 was unable to be interviewed due to dementia diagnosis.R2's Care
Plan dated 6/1/23 documented R2 is at risk for elopement with interventions for staff as follows: on 6/1/23
incorporate diversional activities, on 6/8/23 friendly approach and wander guard as ordered on 6/15/23

what time to look at first but later was told around 2:00 AM and we were able to see the resident leave the
facility in a wheelchair, and it was cold outside. V6 stated the resident wheeled himself next to the front
entrance by the bushes of the apartments located between the facility and the fire station and sat there for
about 15 minutes. V6 stated the resident then went west on the road and out of view. V6 stated the gas
station down the street was able to confirm they saw a man in a wheelchair that night. V6 stated he couldn't
remember what the resident was wearing or more details at this time. V6 stated the facility did have camera
footage of the resident though because they confirmed the time he left the facility for us. On 1/12/26 at 1:58
PM, V1 (administrator) stated R2 eloped around 2:00 AM and by 10:30 AM he was brought back by police.

reported R2 was fine and had no concerns. V7 stated the CNA (certified nursing assistant) working with R2
did not report anything to her about R2's elopement. V7 stated she wasn't aware of R2 eloping prior to
11/22/25 and R2 was not at risk for elopement. V7 stated she checked the building first, got others to help,
then about 15-20 minutes later called the administrator. V7 stated R2 had a wander guard, and it's
supposed to sound when residents get close to the door. V7 stated R2 is alert and oriented times three but
not safe to be off the premises without supervision. V7 stated everyone gets a wander guard if they move
around independently. V7 stated R2 is typically cooperative, easy going and her main focus is getting R2
his medications.On 1/12/26 at 2:30 PM, V1, administrator stated another resident (R3) returned that night
from a LOA (leave of absence) right before R2 got out the door. V1 stated R2 got out the front door before it
could reset the alarm. V1 stated the wander guard also alarms when it gets within six feet of the exits, and

and looked for R2 after that; they just continued working. V11 stated when she came back another day, she
found out R2 had left that night right after another resident came back. V11 stated R2 was typically quiet,
he'd get fussy if he doesn't get seconds of food, but he's cool just tends to himself

hall and didn't say anything else. V8 stated R3 did return to the facility around 2:00 AM, we didn't let him in,
he comes and goes all the time, so he has the code. V8 stated she rounds on residents every 2 hours but
R2 doesn't like to be bothered and closes his door. V8 stated R2 is independent so she personally doesn't
open it his door to his room and go in. V8 stated she probably saw R2 two or 3 times that shift. V8 stated R2
usually doesn't get up at night and he didn't say why he was up. V8 stated there is no way you can confirm

2:00 AM that night that R2's nurse V8 had seen him 5 minutes prior up in the front lobby. V10 stated around
5:45-5:50 AM they asked the nurse again if she had seen R2 and she responded saying R2 had rolled up
to breakfast. V10 stated they had rounded on R2 once that night and saw him in his bed but was later told
by staff that it was actually R2's roommate in R2's bed. V10 stated they just assumed it was R2. V10 stated
they were not informed R2 was at risk for elopement. V10 stated they saw R2 once during their first set of
rounds and they do 4 rounds a shift. V10 stated they like to round on the residents every 2 hours or every
hour and 30 minutes. V10 stated they were concerned they hadn't seen R2 that night but reported their
concerns to the nurse and the nurse said she had seen R2. V10 stated they asked the nurse two times that
night where R2 was. V10 stated the nurse would have had to pass R2 medications before leaving and

guards. V19 stated R2 has been getting his wander guard off recently but can't remember if he was wearing
one that night. V19 stated R2 went to bed before she left. V19 stated R2 is usually quiet, takes his
medications, needs assistance with supervision, and set up assistance. V19 stated R2 would not be safe
unsupervised outside mostly because he doesn't communicate well, doesn't comprehend well, and his
cognitive state is concerning. V19 stated important things to prevent R2 from elopement is making sure
R2's wander guard is on and that he gets his sleep, or he gets agitated, and rounding every two hours. V19

know the details of R2 elopement.On 1/13/26 at 1:12 PM, V3 (ADON) stated R2 was able to remove his
wander guards before so they decided to place it on his wheelchair instead. At 1:25 PM, V3 stated R2 took
off his wander guard in his room that night and that's where it was found.On 1/13/26 at 10:00 AM, V14
(Lead CNA) stated R2 is independent, stays to himself, and likes to go to the front lobby. V14 stated R2
eloped a couple months ago; he got out the front door at night, but she doesn't know details. V14 stated
they have an elopement risk book at the nurse's station where she can find out who is at risk for elopement.
V14 stated everyone was in-serviced on elopements. V14 stated she keeps an eye on R2 mostly as
prevention for elopement. V14 stated R2 requires supervision assistance with ADLs, he always uses his
wheelchair, never walks, he gets confused. V14 stated it would be concerning if she overheard other staff
talking about not knowing where a resident was and didn't go find them. V14 stated if she overheard that,
she would go look for the resident and find them. V14 stated she rounds every 2 hours and it is concerning
if a resident didn't get rounded on for 6 hours, it poses a threat to their safety. V14 stated some precautions
for elopements are having the risk book, in-services, and wander guards.On 1/13/26 a 10:09 AM, V15
(CNA) stated R2 is mostly quiet, stays to himself, and is up in the front lobby a lot. V15 stated R2 requires
supervision assistance or set up and likes routine. V15 stated R2 eloped once a month ago but doesn't
know details. V15 stated she makes rounds every 2 hours. V15 stated you cannot confirm a resident's
safety without making rounds. V15 stated it would be concerning to overhear staff talk about not seeing a
resident, then proceed back to work without laying eyes on that resident. V15 stated she would go find the
resident if she overheard someone hadn't seen them and if not found start the process for elopement. V15
stated the wander guard is a bracelet that alarms if close to a door and you must disarm it to turn it off. V15
stated for elopements they do one on one supervision, frequent rounding, wander guard checks, and make
sure you have an eye on the residents and inform others when you are leaving. V15 stated R2 would not be
safe unsupervised outside. V15 stated there is an elopement risk book at the nurse's stations where she
can find out who is at risk.On 1/13/26 at 10:35 AM, V17 (LPN) stated R2 has never eloped that she is
aware of, and she isn't sure if he is at risk for elopement. V17 stated interventions set for elopement risks
could include frequent monitoring, wander guards, and two-hour rounding. V17 stated you cannot confirm
someone's safety without having eyes on them. V17 stated it would be concerning if she overheard staff
talking about a resident they hadn't seen and didn't find them. V17 stated she would go and check for the
resident. V17 stated in-servicing and signing off on rounds would be important to prevent elopements. V17
stated if a wander guard is in place, it will alarm when it gets too close to the door no matter what. V17
stated if the wander guard doesn't alarm it isn't working appropriately.On 1/13/26 at 10:42 AM, V18 Social
Services Director (SSD) stated she was not working at the time of R2's elopement. V18 stated the MDS
nurse does the elopement assessments and then we discuss concerns and everyone at risk gets a wander
guard. V18 stated important interventions for elopement risks are putting eyes on the residents and
following up on alarms. V18 stated R2 likes to sit up front a lot, eats in his room, is not too social, is
confused, forgetful and sometimes needs redirecting especially when he gets agitated. V18 stated R2 is not
safe to be outside in the middle of the night alone. V18 stated she heard R2 got out around 2:00 AM and
everyone looked for him at about 4:00 or 5:00 AM and was found around 11:00 AM in a nearby village
where he is from. V18 stated she is not sure why he got out. V18 stated you cannot confirm someone's
safety without seeing and rounding on them. V18 stated they now have a receptionist up front 24hours a
day in place.On 1/13/26 at 11:29 AM, V20 (Acting SSD) stated her involvement in R2's behavior

everyone is supposed to be in-serviced.On 1/13/26 at 12:38 PM, V21 (Restorative CNA) stated R2 is pretty
chill, struggles with communication and being understood, he can be argumentative and likes to hang out
by the lobby looking outside. V21 stated R2 has been a high risk for elopement since he arrived. V21 stated
R2 has not had an attempt to elope since 11/22/25 and never exit seeking. V21 stated R2 is a one assist
with bathing, supervision mostly with ADLs, wheels himself around, is sometimes out of breath and has
received breathing treatments. V21 stated R2 is not safe to be out unsupervised. V21 stated she rounds on
residents every two hours. V21 stated R2 was found near his old house. V21 stated you cannot confirm
someone's safety without rounding for 6 hours, and that is neglecting their safety.On 1/13/26 at 1:16 PM,
V23 (Receptionist) stated R2 stays up front in lobby a lot, noted to get agitated if it's noisy. R2 keeps to
himself and is quiet, V23 stated R2 doesn't display exit seeking behavior. V23 stated there is a nighttime
receptionist at the front now but not when R2 eloped. V23 stated she was called that day and came in to
look for R2. V23 stated R2 pulls his wander guard off and would refuse to wear it on his body so she
decided to put it on his wheelchair instead. V23 stated R2 is always in his wheelchair, he can't walk. V23
stated R2 would not be safe outside unsupervised mostly because he gets confused easily with his
dementia which is concerning.On 1/13/26 at 1:35 PM, V3 (ADON) stated that any time the door is opened
the alarm will sound. V3 went to the front door to set off the alarm while this surveyor stayed at the nurse's
station to hear the alarm. No alarm was activated or heard.On 1/13/26 at 1:37 PM, V24 (Maintenance
Director) came to the nurse's station and adjusted the alarm box on the wall. Immediately two alarms went
off, one for north exit and one for high corridor (neither one the front doors). The alarms were very loud and
were turned off by pressing a button that is lit up. At 1:57 PM, V24 (Maintenance Director) stated the north
door is an employee access door and smoke door so it has high traffic as well as the front lobby door, so
they have different settings for the rest of the exits. V24 stated the front door and north door do not sound
alarms at the nurse's stations like the rest of the doors or they'd be going off all the time. V24 stated both of
those doors have been that way; it hasn't changed. V24 stated they are getting a new system soon. V24
stated R2 must have known if you hold down the door lever for 15 seconds it automatically unlocks and lets
you out there's no other way he could have gotten out that night. V24 stated there is an alarm on the front
lobby door if it opens but the sound will only go off up there. V24 stated the door has functioned
appropriately to his knowledge. On 1/13/26 at 2:25 PM, V3 (ADON) stated the front lobby door doesn't
alarm at the back where the nurse's stations are, V24 (Maintenance Director) just told her that it is a high
traffic door, so we have someone up front all the time. V3 stated we did not have someone at the front the
night R2 eloped. V3 stated she would find out when they started having the door supervised 24 hours a
day. At 2:31 PM, V3 stated they started supervising the front door 11/22/25.On 1/14/26 at 9:06 AM, V22

stations.On 1/13/26 at 4:04 PM, V4 stated she would expect nursing staff to be rounding on the residents at
minimum of every 2 hours and more if required. V4 stated rounding consists of knocking on the door,
checking on the resident, checking if they are breathing, safe, checking on IV's or tube feedings, indwelling
catheters, wounds, their comfort, positioning and making sure the resident is seen. V4 stated she could not
confirm a resident was safe if they were not seen, which is why they round. V4 stated she was not aware
the front door did not alarm to the nurse's stations. V4 stated she expects staff to do their jobs.On 1/14/26
at 12:28 PM, V2 (DON) stated R2 loves to be up in the front of the building by the birds, talking to V23
(receptionist), going to the vending machines, eating in his room but does not like when other people are
with him while he eats. V2 state R2 needs touching/hands on assistance with his ADLs, cannot transfer
himself alone, is always in his wheelchair, has never seen him walk. V2 stated R2 was rated high risk for
elopements because when he first got here, he made attempts to get out. V2 stated they placed the wander
guard on him when he had originally made those attempts. V2 stated he was always trying to remove the
wander guard and is not compliant with it. V2 stated she expects staff to make 2-hour rounds, putting eyes
on the residents, and if they are not seen staff will report to the nurse and continue to look and follow policy.
V2 stated there are elopement binders now at the nurse's stations with pictures of the at-risk residents and
their medical conditions, also they have been in-servicing on elopements with all the staff including agency
but prior to R2's elopement she is not sure what was being done or in place. V2 stated the aide should lay
eyes on a resident if they haven't seen them and were told the last where abouts were 5 minutes ago. V2
stated R2 was up all night that night when another resident came in the front door at 2:00 AM. V2 stated
she saw the camera footage of R2 going to the door before it was able to reset and pushed it open. V2
stated R2 was not wearing his wander guard, and no alarms went off. V2 stated the resident that returned
put in the code himself with no staff to let him in and residents are not supposed to have the code. V2
stated they've had to change the code many times. V2 stated she's not 100% sure how the front door alarm
works, V24 tried to explain it to me, just know it's a high traffic door. V2 stated she would have expected
someone to have noticed R2 was gone between the 6 hours of 2:00 AM and 8:00 AM. V2 stated they
cannot confirm R2's safety while he eloped. V2 stated R2 was not safe to be outside unsupervised he could
have gotten hit by a car, which could have led to serious harm or death. V2 stated R2 was found near his
old house which is now torn down. V2 stated R2 had no injuries. At 1:26 PM, V2 stated she was the first to
get to R2 along with V24 after R2's old neighbor recognized R2 and called the facility. V2 stated R2 was
sitting outside, no injuries noted. V2 stated R2 didn't want to leave and told her he was going to stay. V2
stated R2 told her he went to a fast-food place to get food also. On 1/15/26 at 9:54 AM, V2 (DON) stated
her expectations for frequent monitoring entails every two-hour rounding for those needing close
supervision that R2 was.On 1/15/26 at 9:48 AM, V24 (Maintenance Director) stated R2 didn't want to come
back when they found him. V24 stated R2 rode back to the facility with the police. V24 stated R2's old
neighbors recognized him and called us when he got out. V24 was the first one to get to R2 and he didn't
look hurt in any way, he was feeling good and said he was going to stay there. V24 stated R2 didn't mention
how he was able to get to where he was found but there's no way he got there on his own in his wheelchair
and he must have been on concrete, no way he could get through grass in his wheelchair either.On 1/15/26
at 8:22 AM, V1 Administrator, stated the wander guard is what is put in place as an intervention for
residents with concerns of supervision. V1 stated she will have someone supervising the front door 24
hours a day and the front door alarm can be heard from the back nursing stations. V1 stated there is no
policy for rounding but our expectations were added to the daily staffing sheets
