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.
