This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and the potential risk for actual harm, injury or death on [DATE] at 5:28 P.M. when Resident #4 left the facility via an alarmed door, without staff knowledge. Although, the door the resident exited did alarm as designed, Dietary Aide (DA) #103 reset the alarm at 5:35 P.M. without investigating to determine why the door was alarming. On [DATE] at 5:58 P.M. Resident #4 was found by a community member approximately 0.2-0.3 miles from the facility, without his rollator walker, attempting to enter a parked car. The community member contacted the police, and the police and the resident's granddaughter escorted the resident back to the facility. The staff were unaware the resident had eloped from the building at the time he was returned. In addition, a concern that did not rise to the level of Immediate Jeopardy was identified related to the facility's failure to provide appropriate supervision and interventions for Resident #42 which resulted in this resident eloping from the facility on [DATE]. This affected two residents (#4 and #42) of three sampled residents reviewed for elopement. The facility census 41. On [DATE] at 5:09 P.M. the Administrator was notified Immediate Jeopardy began on [DATE] at 5:28 P.M. when Resident #4, who displayed exit seeking behaviors, exited the facility via the front door without staff knowledge.

Dietary Aide (DA) #103 heard the alarm once he reached the hall leading to the main entrance restroom and disabled it at 5:35 P.M. DA #103 did not investigate the source of the alarm or report the alarm to any direct care/nursing staff. Resident #4 was subsequently located on a residential street attempting to get into a parked vehicle and was returned to the facility prior to the facility being aware he had exited. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed and the deficiency corrected on [DATE] when the facility implemented the following corrective actions: • On [DATE] at 6:07 P.M.
