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 adequately supervise a known wandering
resident (R1), failed to have systems in place to monitor the front door alarms after hours and failed to have
interventions in place for a known faulty (electronic wandering device) door alarm system for one (R1) of
twenty-two residents reviewed for elopement/wandering. These failures resulted in R1, a moderately
cognitively impaired resident with the diagnosis of Vascular Dementia, eloping from the facility to a grassy
area out front of the building, by a curb, close to a busy road attempting to get on a city bus. This failure has
the potential to affect all seven (R4-R10) Elopement Risk residents who reside off the secured floor in the
facility.These failures resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on
8/28/25, the facility remains out of compliance at a severity level two. Additional time is needed to monitor
the effectiveness of the implementation of protocols and oversight visits.Findings include:The facility policy
titled Door Alarm Policy, reviewed 8/22/25, documents but not limited to, It is the policy of Generations at
Rock Island to ensure resident safety and security through the use of door alarms. All doors leading to the
outside MUST meet these requirements: 1. The alarm must only be disengaged at the door itself, either by
push button code or key. No alarm may be disengaged from the nurse's station or any other location without
physical evidence gathered by a staff member of reason for trigger reported directly to the person silencing
the alarm. 2. The alarm must ring continuously until physically disengaged through key or code. 3. Exit
doors MUST NOT have the alarm codes posted. Door alarms require immediate attention and response by
facility staff to ensure the safety of all residents.3. Immediate response requires any employee to physically
go to the door that has an alarm sounding to establish why the alarm was triggered. 5. Testing (including
actual activation) and documentation of testing will be completed weekly. Any malfunctions are to be
reported to the Administrator and repaired as quickly as possible.R1's admission record documents R1's
date of admission to the facility was 8/9/24 and his diagnoses include but are not limited to: Type 2 Diabetes
Mellitus with Diabetic Neuropathy, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Acute on Chronic Systolic
(congestive) Heart Failure, Anxiety Disorder and Vascular Dementia Unspecified Severity with
Agitation.R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment, dated 6/2/25, documents R1 has a Brief Interview for
Mental Status (BIMS) score of 10/15, indicating moderate cognitive impairment, documents R1 has
non-Alzheimer's dementia and documents R1's ambulation for distances over 10 feet as supervision or
touching assistance.R1's physician orders dated 4/6/25, documents R1 has an order for a (electronic
wandering device) ankle bracelet to prevent elopement from facility and orders dated 4/7/25 to

easily redirected. (electronic wandering device) in place. R1's current Care Plan contains no documentation
of R1's elopement risk prior to 8/1/25.R1's elopement risk assessment dated [DATE], documents R1 is an
elopement risk with a score of four (4).On 8/26/25 at 3:00pm, V1 (Administrator) stated, We do not have
any documentation stating what the elopement risk assessment score means but anything greater than a
one (1) means they are at risk so probably the higher the score the greater risk.R1's Risk Management
Report, dated 7/31/25, documents, Exit behavior actively attempting to leave building staff successful in
redirecting and (V14/Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) statement: I (V14/LPN) received a phone call from
dispatch around 8:33pm making us aware that a resident was trying to get on the bus. I was outside
bringing him (R1) back in the facility when the police arrived. The resident was still on the facility property in
the grass near the smoking patio/courtyard. He did not leave the property. He was easily redirected back
inside. We moved him to the 4th floor for heightened supervision and increased security.On 8/22/25 at
1:30pm, V14 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) stated on 7/31/25 around 8:30pm he (V14) was getting off the
elevator onto the first floor when he noted the front lobby door alarm was going off and the reception phone
ringing. V14 (LPN) answered the phone, and the local police dispatch was calling to inform the facility of a
suspected resident attempting to get on the bus. V14 (LPN) went outside and found R1 in a grassy area,
next to the curb in front of the facility attempting to get on a city bus.On 8/22/25 at 1:50pm V1
(Administrator) and V2 (Administrator in Training/AIT) stated that the front door alarm will alarm on the
panel at the nurse's station on the second floor.On 8/22/25 at 1:55pm observation of alarm panel on
second floor at the nurse's station shows no door alarm sounding when V1 (Administrator) set off the door
alarm. V14 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) was present at second floor nurse station and verified that the
front door alarm was not sounding on the panel at the nurse's station.On 8/22/25 at 2:00pm, V16
(Maintenance Director) stated that he became aware approximately the middle of July 2025 of an issue
with the facility's (electronic wandering device) door alarm system not always working as it should, meaning
it should alarm at the nurse's station on the second floor if set off but it does not always do this. V16 verified
V16 did not notify V1 (Administrator) or attempt to contact the electronic wandering device company
regarding the faulty system. At this time, V16 showed the panel on the second floor at the nurse's station
where the electronic wandering device system will sometimes alarm if set off. When asked about the door
alarm going off not related to the (electronic wandering device), V16 stated, I don't know of any panel
except for the front reception desk that will alarm if the front door is alarming. V16 verified that the front
door alarm cannot be heard over the alarm panel at the second-floor nurse's station.8/22/25 at 2:10pm V13
(Human Resources) stated, No, if the front door alarm goes off and it is not because of a (electronic
wandering device) then I am not aware that it is heard on any of the floors except the reception desk.On
8/22/25 at 2:30pm, V1 (Administrator) was noticeably frustrated and stated today is the first she has heard
anything about there being issues with the door alarms. V1 verified V16 did not report the facility's
(electronic wandering device) door alarm system not always working as it should to V1.On 8/26/25 at
11:55am, V17 (Registered Nurse/RN) stated, I was R1's nurse the evening he got out of the building.
Approximately 8:30pm I received a phone call on my personal cell phone from V14 (Licensed Practical
Nurse/LPN) stating he (V14) was outside with R1 because he (R1) was trying to get on the bus. I went
down to assist getting R1 back into the building and then called V2 (Administrator in Training/AIT) and told
her what had occurred and was advised to move R1 to the 4th floor to the secured unit for increased safety.
R1 was fully dressed in only socks on his feet when he was found but did have his (electronic wandering
device) in place to his ankle. The (electronic wandering device) was checked to make sure it was
functioning, and it

showed that it was but unsure why the door did not stop him from going out. I do not recall hearing any door
alarms sounding from the panel at the second-floor nurse's station. I don't know how V14 (LPN) knew R1
was outside but if it wasn't for him, I'm not sure when we would have known R1 was gone since there is no
one watching the front door after 8:00pm. I was informed a few days later that there is a glitch to the door
system when it comes to the (electronic wandering device).On 8/26/25 at 11:44am, V18 (Certified Nursing
Assistant/CNA) stated, I saw (R1) around 7:30pm-8:00pm when I was doing rounds on (R1's) roommate.
(R1) had asked me if his shirt looked like it fit so I helped him button it up and then started telling him how
nice he looked. He was wearing that button up shirt, a pair of boxers and socks sitting on the side of his
bed. He then laid down in bed. I did not hear any door alarms go off on the panel at the nurse's station but
was informed by V17 (Registered Nurse/RN) that (R1) was outside, so I ran down the stairs to assist getting
him in the building and then realized he needed his wheelchair, so I went back up to get it. Once I got back
downstairs, they had him in the building. I assisted him into the wheelchair, and he (R1) was yelling at me I
told you I was going to the tavern to see the ladies. (R1) never said anything to me about going to the
tavern prior to that statement.On 8/26/25 at 10:17am, V37 (City Bus Head of Security) stated, It is
documented that our driver called 911 at 8:32pm stating there was a confused man in socks trying to get
on the bus.On 8/26/25 at 10:39am, V38 (Front desk Clerk of Police department) stated, (City Bus) called
around 8:21pm, police dispatched but no need to engage due to staff had resident and were taking him
back to the building.On 8/26/25 at 12:25pm, V20 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) stated, There is no way to
hear the front door alarm up here on the third floor. Just the stairwell door alarms are heard here. I was not
aware of an issue with the alarm system until (R1) got out. If a (electronic wander device) is near the doors,
they lock down so you can't go out, so I don't know at what point it stopped working.On 8/27/25 at 9:15am,
V1 (Administrator) stated, The alarms, front door alarm and (electronic wander device) are supposed to be
sounding on the second-floor alarm panel.On 8/26/25 R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10's elopement risk
assessments reviewed indicating they are all at risk for elopement and facility census report documents
they all live on the second and third floors of the building which are not secured units. V1 (Administrator)
and V2 (Administrator in Training/AIT) were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 8/27/25 at 11:32am.The
surveyor confirmed through observation, interview, and record review that the facility took the following
actions to remove the Immediate Jeopardy: 1. R1 was immediately assessed by nursing and moved to the
4th floor secured unit on 7/31/2025.2. Staff were in-serviced/trained on elopement precautions and facility's
