dining room, heard a code, and by the time he arrived at the door R1 was already at the stop sign outside
the building. V11 stated he ran after R1 and attempted to tap him on the shoulder and ask him sir can I
bring you back to the facility, however R1 took off running. V11 stated maybe R1 ran because he didn't
know who he was. V11 stated when R1 initially took off running, he caught up to R1 and asked him to
return to the facility but was out of breath and R1 took off running again. V11 stated during the process of
fleeing R1 rolled a couple of times and kept getting back up. V11 stated R1 took off running again and fell
backwards right next to the street and cars were stopping out of concern. V11 stated R1 was 10-15 feet
away from him when he fell and V8 pulled up and got out of the car and she kind of grabbed his arm to try
and get him out of the street. V11 stated after that R1 was on the gravel by the apartments and by the time
he walked up to V8, R1 was sitting down and cooperative and saying he didn't want to return to the facility.
V11 stated a couple of other aides pulled up to the scene and were on the phone with V4 (Clinical Director)
who told them just let R1 be.
On 05/07/2025 at 4:02 PM V5 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated prior to R1's elopement incident she was
sitting at the front lobby looking down and looked up and asked R1 where he was going. V5 stated R1
responded he was going home and proceeded to walk out of the building. V5 stated she called a code W
and V11 (Housekeeper) responded and went out to get R1. V5 stated she went out to assist along with
other staff. V5 stated when she arrived R1 was on the ground and staff reported he tripped and was almost
hit by a car. V5 stated when she arrived, she observed a long line of cars that seemed to be wanting to
know what was going on. V5 stated R1 got up and fell again. V5 stated she spoke with a social services
staff that sat in her place at the front desk during the incident and they informed her that V4 (Clinical
Director) instructed them to just let R1 go, he had a right to leave and them trying to make him come back
was against his rights.
On 05/12/2025 at 2:26 PM V4 (Clinical Director) confirmed R1 was not an elopement risk and had made no
request for outside pass privileges. V4 stated R1 had not been outside the facility independently since he
never made the request. V4 stated R1 had not met the outside pass criteria because he hadn't attended
any programming. V4 stated if R1 wished to leave for fresh air he could have inquired with staff or let
someone know. V4 stated if residents attempt to leave the facility unauthorized, they try to encourage
residents, go talk to them to find out what is the problem and how can we solve it. V4 stated R1 was calm
and never exhibited the behavior of attempting to leave the facility without authorization before and it was
appropriate for staff to run to catch up to him to assess his state of mind and show concern for his safety.
V4 stated if when staff caught up to R1 he didn't want to engage they have to respect that. V4 stated if the
resident is waving their hands in defiance when staff are attempting to get them to return to the facility after
leaving unauthorized, we should respect that because that could create a worse outcome. V4 stated when
staff notified him of R1 leaving the facility unauthorized he advised they can't force him to return to the
building.
The facility's Managing Behavior Policy dated 10/01/2023 and received 05/12/2025 states:
This policy is designed to provide guidance for managing challenging behaviors in residents while ensuring
their dignity, safety, and well-being. Behavioral interventions aim to prevent and de-escalate situations
without resorting to restraint. These guidelines help staff address the needs of the residents with mental
health conditions or other behavioral challenges in a person-centered and respectful manner.
De-Escalation Techniques: Staff will be trained in de-escalation methods including verbal redirection,
distraction, and active listening, to prevent escalation of behaviors.

sometimes they don't because when they do report it no one does anything about it.
On 05/12/2025 at 2:26 PM V4 (Clinical Director) stated R1 had not met the outside pass criteria because
he hadn't attended any programming. V4 stated if residents show signs suspicious of substance use, they
will want to alert the physician, might do a specimen draw and follow whatever the physician recommends.
V4 stated signs of drug use include unusual odors, glassy eyes, unsteady gait, flight of speech, a lot of
anxiety, and sometimes delusions. V4 stated odors of marijuana or other illegal substances would be cause
for alarm and rooms should be searched. V4 stated if residents have not been outside and test positive for
illegal substances that does indicate they got it somehow while in the facility. V4 stated the facility monitors
residents behaviors through clinical rounds in the building looking out for safety issues which includes room
searches. V4 stated social services documents soft notes when there are observations of potential
substance use or room searches due to protection of the residents rights.

there were too many for his room and there were no concerning items found. V4 stated yes when asked by
surveyor if residents showing signs of substance use should receive increased monitoring which he stated
would include performing room checks with these individuals more regularly. V4 stated the response to this
behavior includes trying not to look at them as being targeted. V4 stated the approach is always to be
positive and try to get the resident to look at the times in which they're sober and try to express we're
concerned about their safety and wellbeing and encourage sobriety. V4 stated if residents are found with
contraband or show signs of drug use searches are commenced. V4 stated increased monitoring would
consist of routine room checks likely on a daily basis which they encourage residents to be present for. V4
stated he wouldn't say it is normal for R4 to be found with contraband. V4 stated the rolling paper R4 was
found with on 01/14/2025 was cigarette rolling paper. V4 stated R4 doesn't usually exhibit any unusual

If the facility determines through observation that a resident may have access to illegal substances that
they have brought into the facility or secured from an outside source, these cases may warrant a referral to
local law enforcement.
Residents Affected - Few
Care Planning interventions will address risks by providing appropriate diversions for residents and
encouraging residents to seek out facility staff to discuss their plan of care, including discharge planning,
rather than leaving to seek out substances which could endanger the resident's health and/or safety.
Residents with SUD (Substance Use Disorder) may try to continue using substances during their stay in
the nursing home. Facility staff will assess the resident for the risk for substance use in the facility and have
knowledge of signs and symptoms of possible substance that include, but are not limited to: Odors;
Changes in residents behaviors including Unexplained Drowsiness.

includes but is not limited to: Changes in resident behavior; Increased, unexplained drowsiness.
If the facility determines through observation that a resident may have access to illegal substances that
they brought into the facility or secured from an outside source, the facility will not act as an arm of law
enforcement. In accordance with state laws, a referral will be made to local law enforcement.
To protect the health and safety of residents the facility will provide additional monitoring and supervision.
The facility's Policy on Contraband Materials, Inspection of Rooms and Use of Recording Devices Policy
received 05/12/2025 states:
This organization reserves the right to conduct inspections if there is reason to suspect/believe that a
resident has contraband items/materials in his/her possession. These items include, but are not limited to
illicit (street or over the counter) drugs. In situations where illegal activity appears to have taken place
appropriate authorities will be notified. Again, safety and security are of the utmost concern.
The facility may choose, at its discretion, to involve drug sniffing dogs if residents are suspected to be
trafficking drugs inside the facility.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Residents Affected - Few
On 05/07/2025 at 11:13 AM V8 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated on the day R1 left the facility
unauthorized 05/05/2025 he was screaming he wanted to kill himself and burning his hand with cigarettes.
On 05/07/2025 at 12:05 PM R4 stated he had been in the facility since September, and he sees residents
high in the facility. R4 stated it's easy to get drugs or alcohol through the room windows. R4 stated the
facility just recently began offering substance abuse class. R4 stated the facility's favorite thing to do is send
you to the hospital.
On 05/12/2025 at 2:26 PM V4 (Clinical Director) stated residents have to be in compliance with
medications, room care, diet, behavior, receive a community assessment, and attend some psychosocial
groups to improve anxiety, communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom management to be
eligible for outside pass privileges. V4 stated R1 had not met the outside pass criteria because he hadn't
attended any programming. V4 stated he will check his notes on whether R1 was offered services and what
his responses to those offers were. V4 stated interventions for residents with a substance abuse history
include counseling/psychosocial programming, rounds, supervising them, encouraging them to set goals for
sobriety, and identifying alternatives to any substance use. V4 stated social services has been doing a lot of
one-on-one counseling and an alternative lifestyle choices program which is for substance abuse has been
in effect for close to a month. V4 stated prior to this program the facility would refer residents to community
partners programs that offer supportive counseling for substance abuse, however, they are scarce, and
some have to be paid for. V4 stated one to one social services counseling is provided by the facility's
PRSC's (Psychosocial Rehabilitation Services Coordinators). V4 stated the PRSC's are not licensed in
substance abuse counseling. V4 stated at one point in time the facility did have licensed substance abuse
counselors come in to provide services however this hasn't been available due to these resources being
limited and due to some of them requiring payment.
On 05/13/2025 at 11:23 AM V4 (Clinical Director) stated yes when asked by surveyor if a resident has a
history of self-harm, they do require specialized services. V4 stated specialized services would include
involving the resident in psychosocial groups, they would also receive one to one social services
counseling, would see the psychiatrist on a regular basis, as well as receive required medications. V4
stated care planned interventions for residents with a history of self-harm would include monitoring for any
mood changes, encouraging them to take advantage of any open-door policies they have, clinical rounds
from social services staff to assess residents mood and behavior which is ongoing. V4 stated these
interventions would also include talking to the residents, monitoring them, interacting, asking them about
their state of mind and reminding them staff do care and are available to talk. V4 stated there may not be
documentation of these interactions and attempts unless there's an intense episode because some
interactions only require minor conversation and interaction. V4 stated to his knowledge R1 did not have a
history of refusing psychosocial services. V4 stated we do complete psychosocial progress notes that are
not necessarily documented in the electronic health record system. V4 stated R4 was offered emotional
anxiety, management, and communications and the soft approach for sobriety groups as well. V4 stated R4
is participating in the new group for substance use that is nearly a month old. V4 stated the activities
department assesses residents for past activities and hobbies and this would be included in their care plan.
V4 stated this information would be pretty important to include in a residents care plan who has a history of
self-harm and substance abuse. V4 stated if residents refuse psychosocial programs and one to one
counseling other options include participation in resident counsel, games or activities would be offered, and
they would make resources available for more choices in their interests.
