prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to prevent resident elopement by failing to ensure
an exit door was alarmed/monitored to prevent residents from exiting unnoticed and failed to develop and
implement a care plan for a resident at risk for elopement for one of three residents (R1) reviewed for
elopement on a sample list of five. These failures resulted in R1, a cognitively impaired resident at risk for
falls, leaving the facility unsupervised in a wheelchair in the dark. R1 was found three tenths of a mile from
the facility in the middle of a country road near railroad tracks by a local citizen who alerted facility staff of
R1's location. Findings include:The immediate jeopardy began on 9/05/25 at approximately 9:00 p.m. when
R1 left the facility in a wheelchair unnoticed, after staff disable the door alarm, and traveled unsupervised
down a country road approximately three tenths of a mile away from the facility. V1, Administrator was
notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 9/25/25 at 3:20PM. The surveyor confirmed by observation,
interview, and record review that the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 9/25/25, but noncompliance
remains at Level Two because additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness
of the in-service training. R1's admission Record dated 9/23/25 documents R1 admitted to facility

Insomnia.R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS) Section C dated 8/15/25 documents R1 has moderate cognitive

Care Plan documents R1 has confusion and a cognitive communication deficit, R1 is high risk for falls, has
a history of falls with major injury, and staff have observed R1 turning off safety alarms. The Care Plan
documents R1 has psychosocial well-being issues with reported feelings of isolation, has diagnoses of
Major Depressive disorder and Insomnia, is at moderate risk for abuse related to dependence on others,
displays inappropriate behaviors, has impaired cognitive function, and has suicidal ideations. R1's undated
Care Plan documents Elopement risk was added on 9/6/25 by V4 Social Services Director (SSD) with a
goal of R1 will not leave the facility without being escorted by family or staff. The Nurse Practitioner Visit
