Immediate Jeopardy. The surveyor confirmed by observation, interview and record review that the
Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 05/16/24, but noncompliance remains at Level Two because
additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the in-service training.

asked me if I had seen R6. V5 said the nurse asked me to look for R6. V5 said I left at 3:00PM and R6 was
not found.
On 5/9/24 V7, Licensed Practical Nurse, said on 5/4/24 in the afternoon around 2:00 or 2:30PM I did not
see R6 in his room. V7 said I raised alarm and asked the CNA about him. V7 said a code purple was
initiated. V7 said I notified Social Service Department that I don't see R6. V7 said when I checked R6's
room, there was no one in the room, his roommate was in the dining room. V7 said I didn't look at the
window. V7 said when I went outside, I saw a footprint on the ground about 2 feet from the window. V7 said
at baseline R6 is very sneaky and goes around the facility. V7 said R6 has periods of confusion at times,
and he can be hard to redirect due to his confusion.
On 5/9/24 at 10:49AM V3, Social Worker, said, no one is a high risk of elopement in the building. V3 said I
would know if they are at high risk for elopement. V3 said they have to make an attempt multiple times to
exit to place them on high risk for elopement with a monitor. V3 said I was called in Saturday 5/4/24 and I
was made aware R6 left. V3 said I came to the facility, and we did a room head count and we drove around
the area looking for R6. V3 said R6's baseline behavior is confused, he talks slow, and he speaks loud. On
follow up interview on 5/10/24 at 9:31AM V3 said a cognitive (BIMS) score of 8-12 is moderate cognitive
impairment. (R6's score is 8). V3 said R6's behaviors include anger and tone changes, he will curse, is
socially inappropriate, and uses inappropriate words. V3 said R6 wanders in the facility. At 10:59 V3 said I
have to find out what score from the elopement assessment indicates the person is at risk.
On 5/9/24 at 11:14AM V4, Social Services, said on 5/4/24 we were searching for R6. V4 said I became
aware by the nurse at 3ish (3:00PM), I instantly checked R6's room and toilet, looking for him. V4 said I
called a code purple immediately. V4 said when I looked in R6's room I saw the tv remote on the bed, his
blankets on the bed, and all his personal possessions still there. V4 said R6 got out thru the window, but it
was no longer open. V4 said R6 could open the window enough to get out. V4 said R6's window screen had
returned to how it was supposed to be. V4 said R6 did not have an accomplice that I am aware of. V4 said
we don't have any high risk elopement residents. V4 said R6's window led outside to the front of the facility.
V4 said R6 went without medication while away. V4 said R6 was gone from Saturday 5/4/24 until Tuesday
5/7/24. V4 said according to GPS the hospital where R6 was located is about 6.7miles from here.
On 5/9/24 at 12:38PM V6, Maintenance Director, said on Saturday, 5/4/24, I was called in and the
Administrator asked me to help with the windows. V6 said I had some corner L shaped brackets here and
used some regular screws. V6 said I have the screen for R6's former room in my office. V6 said the screen
was on the mulch on the ground when I got here. V6 showed the surveyor the L shaped metal bracket
screwed into the windowsill.
On 5/10/24 at 12:35PM V6 said on Saturday 5/4/24, about 20 windows didn't have L brackets, none of the
outside facing windows had them before I installed them. V6 said all the windows were resident rooms. V6
said the reason I put the bracket is to keep the window from opening so wide, this is a safety mechanism.
V6 said before Saturday the windows had nothing in place to prevent them from opening so wide, 49-50
inches. V6 said I do rounds everyday, I check windows, make sure they are not wide open. V6 said I never
noticed them to be open so wide. V6 said they should not have them wide open, to prevent this issue from
happening again. V6 said I have always checked the windows and I would close them to prevent someone
from getting out. V6 said in the past I had seen windows open so wide. V6 said the installed brackets allow
the window to open roughly 3-4 inches. V6 said I never mentioned to anyone if I saw a window open wide.
V6 said the windows are not new. V6 said I work Monday thru

Friday and I check the windows Monday thru Friday. V6 said no one is here over the weekend to do my
rounds. V6 said I would hope staff would check the windows. V6 said I don't remember if R6's window was
open when I came in Saturday 5/4/24.
On 5/10/24 at 10:13AM V2, Director of Nursing, said on 5/4/24 I was notified that code purple was called for
R6. V2 said I was not able to come in, but I had phone calls to figure out what was going. V2 said when R6
was found the hospital called and said he was found. V2 said from the phone calls, it was determined that
V5 was the last person to see R6 around 1:30PM. V2 said I am not aware what R6 was doing or where he
was last seen. V2 said it was determined that R6 got out by the window in his room, because the screen
was out. V2 said I would say no for community pass for R6. V2 said R6 gets frustrated and impatient with
communication, he is aphasic. V2 said R6's attention span is not focused, his attention and patience is
short. V2 said R6 has a psyche background, his thought process can be unorganized. V2 said when R6
returned he look tired. V2 said R6 said he went out the window. V2 said I would describe R6 as a wanderer,
he is not typically in one place, you have to look for him. V2 said R6 needs supervision while out of the
facility.
On 5/10/24 at 11:09AM V12, Assistant Administrator, said I got a call at home around 3ish, that they could
not find R6. V12 said I came in to assist with the search. V12 said we could not find R6 in the building or
neighborhood. V12 said I looked at the camera footage for the front door and back doors and he was not
seen. V12 said there is no front door outside camera. V12 said R6 was last in the facility around 1:30PM.
V12 said the CNA reported she last saw R6 at 1:30PM while changing the roommate. V12 said when I
came to the facility, we saw the screen in the mulch, and we thought R6 went out the window. V12 said R2
can open the window. V12 said we were notified R6 arrived to the hospital in an ambulance. V12 said when
he returned, R6 told me he went to the fire department and was taken to the hospital and that he was tired.
V12 said I did not speak with the fire department. V12 said I am not sure which fire department he
presented at. V12 said I don't think R6 knows the phone number to the facility. V12 said R2 could not be
unsupervised in the community.
On 5/10/24 at 11:40AM V1, Administrator, asked for the surveyor to follow her to show me something. V1
escorted the surveyor to R6's room at the time of elopement. V1 said I asked V6 to remove the L bracket so
I can show you how R6 got out the window. V1 opened the window fully (as measured before) and climbed
one foot on the adjacent bed, stepped onto the window ledge, and jumped down onto the raised
landscaped area with mud and mulch. V1 said and V12 found this screen (V6 was replacing the window
screen) right here. The surveyor noted the screen frame is bent.
On 5/14/24 at 12:46PM V13, Doctor, said if R6's pass states R6 needs supervision while in the community,
then R6 should not be in the community unsupervised.
R6's Order Summary Report documents may go out on pass with medication with family.
R6's progress notes dated 5/4/24 states in part, R6 not in room. Dining room and surrounding areas
checked. Social Services immediately notified.

there are any complaints in between treatment then I will call the exterminator to come out. V6 said I got a
bug complaint by the residents in room [ROOM NUMBER], yesterday, she described the bug as a water
bug or a roach. V6 said there have not been other bug complaints. V6 said if there are pest control issues,
then staff will write in the book for me to follow up. V6 brought the mentioned book for review. Surveyor
noted nothing is written in it. V6 said he did not empty the book today.

anyone sees a bug we will call for an exterminator to come out. V1 said V6 will call the exterminator. V1 said
I don't know when the last time a sighting was reported. V1 said V6 should call that day, the day it is
reported or seen. V1 said if staff and residents are not reporting them we won't know to call the
exterminator.
