prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** THE
FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NONCOMPLIANCE THAT WAS
SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY.
Residents Affected - Few
Based on review of the medical record, review of a facility self-reported incident (SRI), observations,
resident and staff interviews, and policy review, the facility failed to provide supervision and intervention to
prevent Resident #31, who had impaired cognition, was at risk for elopement and resided on a secured
behavioral unit, from leaving the facility unsupervised. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy when one
resident (Resident #31) was placed at potential risk for serious life-threatening harm and/or injury when the
resident eloped from his bedroom window without staff knowledge and was found 2.6 miles from the facility
pushing a shopping cart in a shopping center parking lot. This affected one (#31) of five residents reviewed
for risk for elopement. The facility identified a total of 11 residents who were at risk for elopement. The
facility census was 45.
On 06/20/24 at 2:01 P.M., the Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON), Regional Registered Nurse (RRN)
#20, and Regional Director of Operations (RDO) #25 were notified Immediate Jeopardy began on 06/04/24
at approximately 4:14 A.M. when Laboratory (Lab) Technician #09 reported to Licensed Practical Nurse
(LPN) #154 that she was unable to locate Resident #31 in his room to draw his blood for labs. LPN #154
accompanied Lab Technician #09 to Resident #31's room and discovered the bedroom window was open
and both the screen and the resident were missing. Staff on duty searched the building and the building
perimeter and discovered Resident #31 was missing from the facility. Staff contacted the DON on 06/04/24
at 4:54 A.M. and the DON contacted the police at 5:07 A.M. Police located Resident #31 on 06/04/24 at
12:49 P.M. approximately 2.6 miles from the facility pushing a shopping cart in a shopping center parking
lot. Resident #31 was sent to the hospital via emergency medical services (EMS) for evaluation before
returning to the facility on [DATE] at approximately 3:50 P.M. with no injuries. Upon returning to the facility,
Resident #31 was placed on one-on-one supervision and voiced concerns thought someone was trying to
kill him and he stated he was trying to return home to Columbus, Ohio.
The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 06/04/24 when the resident returned to the facility and was
placed on one-on-one supervision and all resident windows were secured with special hardware to ensure
they were not able to be opened greater than six inches. The deficiency remained at Severity Level 2 (no
actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy) until the deficiency
was corrected on 06/11/24, when the facility implemented the following corrective actions:
