Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
Based on medical record review, review of the Certification and Licensure System (CALS), staff interview
and review of facility policy, the facility failed to report incidents of elopement to the State Agency. This
affected two residents (#03 and #18) of four residents reviewed for neglect. The facility census was 71.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #03 revealed an admission dated of 11/21/23. Diagnoses
included dementia, mild intellectual disabilities, impulse disorder, Alzheimer's disease with late onset,
wandering in diseases classified elsewhere and unspecified psychosis not due to a substance or known
physiological condition. Resident #03 had a legal guardian and resided on the secured memory care unit of
the facility.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 10/25/24, revealed Resident #03 had
a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 09, indicating he had moderate cognitive impairment.
The assessment identified the resident to have behaviors of wandering and he was independent for
ambulation.
Review of a nursing note dated 11/02/24 at 3:58 P.M., and completed by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
#144, revealed a call was received from the police department at 2:10 P.M. stating a resident (identified to
be Resident #03) was on a street 0.7 miles away from the facility. The resident was crying and lost, taken to
the police station and then brought back to the facility around 2:30 P.M. Further review of the note revealed
the last time the resident was seen by the nurse was around 12:00 P.M. when the resident was eating pizza
at a dining room table. Once Resident #03 was brought back to the facility by the police, a full head-to-toe
assessment was completed. Vitals and assessment were normal and at baseline and the resident denied
any pain. Resident #03 stated he waited until the food tray cart was being collected to sneak behind the
cart as the door was opened by staff. Resident #03 stated he went out the front door to go home with his
sister. The resident denied being hurt or in any pain. Facility staff were asked if anyone noticed Resident
#03 elope and all staff denied seeing the resident. Education was provided to staff on elopement risk and
wander guard function check. Resident #03 was placed on one-on-one staff supervision and the
responsible party was notified. Full head count was completed, and all residents were accounted for.
Review of a local police report revealed on 11/02/24 at 1:43 P.M., a call was received from a neighborhood
resident who reported seeing an elderly male walking, who was stumbling and fell to the ground. Further
review revealed the responding officer arrived on the scene at 1:50 P.M. and found Resident #03 on his
hands and knees and appeared disoriented. The officer called EMS, who responded and

cleared the resident. EMS transported the resident back to the facility. The police response was cleared at
2:42 P.M.
Review of CALS revealed no evidence a self-reported incident (SRI) related to Resident #03's elopement
was reported to the state agency.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 11/07/24 at 8:35 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #03 eloped from
the facility on 11/02/24. The DON further confirmed facility staff were unaware the resident was missing
until the local police department contacted the facility after finding the resident approximately 0.7 miles
away from the facility.
2. Review of the medical record for Resident #18 revealed an admission date of 11/30/23. Diagnoses
included unspecified dementia, hallucination, mild cognitive impairment, acute osteomyelitis of the right
ankle and foot, arthritis due to other bacteria to the right ankle and foot, and diabetes mellitus type II with
diabetic neuropathy.
Review of the quarterly MDS assessment, dated 10/04/24, revealed Resident #18 had a BIMS score of 11,
indicating she had moderate cognitive impairment. The resident was independent for ambulation.
Review of a nursing note dated 08/13/24 at 7:30 P.M. revealed Resident #18 was seen by oncoming shift
staff in the church parking lot approximately 1.1 miles from the facility. Staff informed the writer of her
location and staff were able to get the resident safely back to the facility. Once returned, a wander guard
was placed on the resident and one-on-one with staff (supervision) was initiated. Resident #18 was
assessed with no negative findings and the resident denied pain. She also denied any mental anguish and
stated she was just going to get fresh air and grab something from the store, but then found herself lost and
did not know how to get back. The Nurse Practitioner (NP), interim DON and Administrator were notified.
Review of CALS revealed no evidence an SRI was reported to the state agency related to Resident #18's
elopement.
Interview on 11/12/24 at 9:22 A.M. with the DON, the Administrator, Regional Director of Clinical Services
(RDCS) #160 and RDCS #161 revealed on 08/13/24, Resident #18 was seen in an area church parking lot
approximately 1.1 miles from the facility. While Resident #18 was her own responsible person, the facility
treated the incident as an elopement because the resident did not inform staff she was leaving the facility.
Since the incident, the facility attempted to place a wander guard on Resident #18 and move her to the
secured memory care unit, with the resident refusing each intervention. Resident #18 remained on
one-on-one staff supervision pending the outcome of a guardianship hearing on 11/18/24.
Interview on 11/12/25 at 1:45 P.M. with Regional Director of Operations (RDO) #245 verified the facility did
not submit an SRI for either Resident #03 or Resident #18's elopements from the facility.
Review of the facility policy titled Compliance with Reporting Allegations of Abuse/Neglect/Exploitation,
dated 10/24/22, revealed the facility would report all alleged violations and all substantiated incidents to the
State Agency and to all other agencies as required and take all necessary corrective actions depending on
the results of the investigation.
This deficiency was an incidental finding discovered during the complaint investigation.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
THE FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE THAT WAS
SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY.
Based on observation, medical record review, review of facility video surveillance, review of a local police
report, facility policy review and interview, the facility failed to provide adequate supervision for Resident
#03, who was assessed to be high risk for elopement, had a history of exit seeking behavior, resided on the
secured memory care unit and had a wander guard (wearable device to help keep residents at risk of
wandering safe) to prevent elopement. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and the potential for serious
harm, injury and/or death on 11/02/24 at 12:44 P.M. when Resident #03 followed dietary staff through the
secured memory care door, traveled through the facility and eloped through the front door without staff
knowledge. Furthermore, Resident #03's wander guard alarmed (as designed) at the front door when he
exited; however, staff failed to timely respond and further failed to adequately investigate the source of the
alarm upon response. Resident #03 walked approximately 0.7 miles away from the facility, through a
neighborhood with two large ponds of water along the route traveled. Resident #03 was found by the local
police after a concerned neighborhood resident saw Resident #03 fall and called 911. Upon police arrival,
Resident #03 was found on his hands and knees on the sidewalk. Facility staff were unaware Resident #03
was missing until notified by the local police department (LPD) he had been found, approximately two hours
after he was last seen in the facility by staff.
In addition, a concern that did not rise to an Immediate Jeopardy occurred when the facility failed to provide
adequate supervision for Resident #18 resulting in the resident eloping from the facility without staff
knowledge. The resident was found by a facility staff member who was traveling to the facility for their
scheduled shift. This affected two residents (#03 and #18) of three residents identified by the facility as
being assessed as high risk for elopement. The facility census was 71.
On 11/12/24 at 1:49 P.M. the Regional Director of Operations (RDO) #245, Director of Nursing (DON),
Regional Director of Clinical Services (RDCS) #160, RDCS #161 and Licensed Practical Nurse/Unit
Manager (LPN/UM) #248 were notified Immediate Jeopardy began on 11/02/24 at 12:44 P.M. when
Resident #03 followed Dietary Aide (DA) #157 off the secured memory care unit, unnoticed. Resident #03
eloped through the front door of the facility and staff failed to respond timely to the wander guard alarm at
the front door. When staff did respond, approximately 20 minutes after the alarm sounded, staff did not fully
investigate the source of the alarm, turned the alarm off and failed to conduct a resident head count to
ensure all residents were accounted for. The facility was unaware the resident was missing until returned to
the facility by the LPD, nearly two hours after he eloped.
The Immediate Jeopardy was removed, and the deficient practice corrected on 11/04/24 when the facility
implemented the following corrective actions:
•
On 08/13/24, upon discovery Resident #18 had eloped from the facility, a head count was initiated by
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) #136 and #137 and all additional residents were accounted for.

Findings include:
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or

1. Review of the medical record for the Resident #03 revealed an admission date of 11/21/23 with
diagnoses including dementia, mild with agitation; mild intellectual disabilities; impulse disorder; Alzheimer's
disease with late onset; wandering in diseases classified elsewhere; and unspecified psychosis not due to a
substance or known physiological condition. Further review revealed Resident #03 had a legal guardian
and resided on the secured memory care unit of the facility.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the current physician orders revealed the resident's orders included may reside on the secure
unit due to need for a smaller, more structured environment related to dementia diagnosis, nurse to check
function and battery life of wander guard and may go on leave of absence (LOA) with escort and
medications.
Review of the Risk of Elopement/Wandering Review assessment, dated 08/14/24, revealed Resident #03
was moderately cognitively impaired with poor decision-making skills (for example, intermittent confusion,
cognitive deficits or disoriented). Resident #03 ambulated independently. The resident verbalized the desire
to go home, packed belongings to go home or stayed near exit doors. The assessment indicated Resident
#03 wandered aimlessly/non-goal directed and this was not a new behavior. Further review of the
assessment revealed Resident #03 was at risk for elopement/wandering as evidenced by pushing on the
secured unit doors and verbalizing the desire to leave. Resident #03 had a history of leaving the secured
unit, but not the facility.
Review of the plan of care dated 08/22/24 revealed Resident #03 was at risk for elopement/wandering
behavior related to exit seeking behavior, high risk for elopement and exiting unit. Interventions included
every 15-minute checks per nursing judgment, placement of wander guard to lower extremity and check
placement and battery life, calmly redirect and divert the resident's attention, distract when
wandering/insisting on leaving the facility by offering pleasant diversions and promptly check when alarm
system goes off to ensure the resident is safe and remains in the facility.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 10/25/24, revealed Resident #03 had
a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 09, indicating he had moderate cognitive impairment.
The assessment identified the resident to have behaviors of wandering and was independent for
ambulation.
Review of a nursing note dated 11/02/24 at 3:58 P.M., and completed by LPN #144, revealed a call was
received from the police department at 2:10 P.M. stating a resident (identified to be Resident #03) was on a
street 0.7 miles away from the facility. The resident was crying and lost, taken to the police station and then
brought back to the facility around 2:30 P.M. Further review of the note revealed the last time the resident
was seen by the nurse was around 12:00 P.M. when the resident was eating pizza at a dining room table.
Once Resident #03 was brought back to the facility by the police, a full head-to-toe assessment was
completed. Vitals and assessment were normal and at baseline and the resident denied any pain. Resident
#03 was wearing plaid pajama pants, a grey shirt and black slippers. Resident #03 stated he waited until
the food tray cart was being collected to sneak behind the cart as the door was opened by staff. Resident
#03 stated he went out the front door to go home with his sister. The resident denied being hurt or in any
pain. Facility staff were asked if anyone noticed Resident #03 elope and all staff denied seeing the resident.
Education was provided to staff on elopement risk and wander guard function check. Resident #03 was
placed on one-on-one staff supervision and the responsible party was notified. Full head count was
completed, and all residents were accounted for.

Review of a local police report revealed on 11/02/24 at 1:43 P.M., a call was received from a neighborhood
resident who reported seeing an elderly male walking, who was stumbling and fell to the ground. Further
review revealed the responding officer arrived on the scene at 1:50 P.M. and found Resident #03 on his
hands and knees and appeared disoriented. The officer called EMS, who responded and cleared the
resident. EMS transported the resident back to the facility. The police response was cleared at 2:42 P.M.
Review of the current physician orders revealed an order dated 11/02/24 (following the incident) for
Resident #03 to remain on one-on-one with staff (supervision).
Interview on 11/07/24 at 8:35 A.M. with the DON and LPN/UM #248 revealed on 11/02/24, DA #157 went to
the secured memory care unit to collect the meal cart. When DA #157 exited the unit at 12:44 P.M.,
Resident #03 caught the door just before it closed. The resident then walked up the 600-hall, around the
corner, down the 300-hall and out the front door. The administrative staff revealed there was no receptionist
that day and the resident did not pass any staff member. The DON verified Resident #03 had a wander
guard and the front door alarmed when he exited but stated staff did not respond timely or thoroughly
investigate the alarms. The DON further confirmed Resident #03 was found 0.7 miles away by the police
after someone in the neighborhood called 911 stating an elderly person was walking around. The DON
stated EMS assessed Resident #03 and the resident had no visible injuries and did not require further
evaluation at the hospital. Additionally, the DON verified Resident #03 had a history of eloping off the
secured memory care unit, but not the facility, and staff were unaware the resident was gone until contacted
by the police. Following the incident, the DON stated all facility staff received education on facility policies
and procedures.
Interview on 11/07/24 at 10:56 A.M. with Medication Technician (MT) #102 revealed she worked on the

Review of a written statement, dated 08/14/24 at 9:05 A.M. and completed by former CNA #177, revealed
she was driving to work (on 08/13/24), arriving around 7:02 P.M. CNA #177 was on Cleveland-East
Liverpool Road when she looked to her right and witnessed an older black female dressed in flannel
pajama pants, a long sleeve shirt, shoes, a tan baseball cap, carrying a tote bag and a box and she was
wearing a surgical mask. She was standing on the sidewalk in front of the entrance of the driveway of a
church. The woman looked familiar to one of the facility residents. Upon arrival at work, CNA #177
approached the nurses' station and stated she believed she saw one of the residents outside, in front of a
church. CNA #177 asked if anyone had signed out and other staff indicated they were unaware of any
residents outside and gone from the facility. CNA #177 was told to follow a nurse in her car to look for the
resident where she was last seen, in front of the church. The resident was not there. CNA #177 pulled into
the church parking lot and asked a man and a woman who were leaving the church if they had seen the
resident. They said they had not seen her and gave CNA #177 permission to enter the church to look for
her. Resident #18 was not located in the church. CNA #177 called the facility and was informed the nurse
had searched the building and the resident had not returned.
Review of the facility timeline of events, as observed via facility camera footage, revealed on 08/13/24 at
5:49 P.M., Resident #18 was observed in the facility around the nurses' station, heading in the direction of
the front door. At 5:49 P.M. she was observed exiting he front door. From 5:49 P.M. through 6:01 P.M.,
Resident #18 remained on the facility grounds. At 6:01 P.M., Resident #18 left the property and started
walking down the sidewalk. At 7:12 P.M., CNA, nurses and Resident #18 returned to the facility. Resident
#18 was immediately assessed, a wander guard placed, and Resident #18 became one-on-one with staff
(supervision).
Review of the quarterly MDS assessment, dated 10/04/24, revealed Resident #18 had a BIMS score of 11,
indicating she had moderate cognitive impairment. The resident was independent for ambulation.
Interview on 11/12/24 at 9:22 A.M. with the DON, the Administrator, RDCS #160 and RDCS #161 revealed
on 08/13/24 Resident #18 was seen in an area church parking lot, approximately 1.1 miles from the facility.
CNA #177 informed LPN #137 she thought she saw the resident when she was driving into work. LPN
#137, CNA #177 and LPN #136 got in the car and went to the church to bring Resident #18 back. While
Resident #18 had never signed out of the facility previously, CNA #177 did not stop when she initially saw
her because she was unsure if the resident had signed out. Resident #18 was her own responsible person,
but the facility considered this incident an elopement because the resident did not inform staff she was
leaving, and staff were unaware the resident left. Since the incident, Resident #18 had remained on
one-on-one staff supervision pending the outcome of a guardianship hearing, which the resident appealed.
Resident #18 refused the use of a wander guard and placement on the secured memory care unit.
Interview on 11/12/24 at 11:50 A.M. with Resident #18 revealed she recalled the incident on 08/13/24.
Resident #18 stated she wanted snacks, asked people where the store was located and went. Resident
#18 stated she was not lost and knew what she was doing. Resident #18 confirmed she did not tell
