At 10:08 A.M., LPN #42 notified Resident #75 ' s responsible party who questioned why there were no additional safety measures placed after Resident #75 had first threatened to jump out the window and voiced concerns for safety moving forward. At 7:41 P.M., LPN #42 called the hospital and learned Resident #75 was admitted for bilateral ankle fractures. During concurrent interviews with the Administrator, ADON #127 and Scheduler #98 on 04/30/25 at 9:54 A.M., ADON #127 stated after the original admission, the former DON decided to place Resident #75 in the secured unit due to his history of admission from the hospital on a psychiatric hold. ADON #127 was unaware of any assessment required for the secured unit placement. ADON #127 stated on the elopement risk assessment, if a patient was identified at risk, the nurse would add the intervention on the assessment to place in a secured unit. ADON #127 stated when Resident #75 returned from the hospital on [DATE], he was placed back on one-on-one supervision for 12 hours out of an abundance of caution for safety.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few statements of wanting to leave, the one-on-one supervision was removed at change of shift on 04/26/25 after 7:00 A.M. During an interview on 04/30/25 at 11:28 A.M., Regional Director of Operations (RDO) #200 stated Resident #75 came from a psychiatric hospital and had paranoid delusions. His responsible party was going to retain guardianship. He was placed on a secured unit for safety after he was discharged from the psychiatric unit. He was focused on getting out of the facility and going to the bank. While the Ohio Department of Health was present in the building for a survey, the facility could not spare staff to go downtown. Staff had planned to take Resident #75 to the bank next week. Resident #75 had stated, If you don ' t let me go, I ' m going to jump out the window. RDO #200 stated he did not know if staff specifically asked Resident #75 if he wanted to hurt himself, but the facility had him sent out for suicidal ideation. The hospital sent him back. They said he wanted to go to the bank, and he did not have suicidal ideations. Out of caution, staff continued one-on-one supervision for 12 hours after his return. He seemed calm and pleasant, so staff removed the one-on-one supervision after night shift ended. The doctor was notified immediately after the incident. The facility decided on 04/29/25 to begin auditing all resident records to ensure admission paperwork was completed and all residents upstairs had assessments for placement on the secured unit. Resident #75 was a skinny 140-pound man, and staff were not sure how he did it. On 04/26/25, the maintenance department secured all windows with washers and screws so the windows could not be opened. During a telephone interview on 04/30/25 at 2:27 P.M., Resident #75 ' s responsible party stated he was trying to obtain guardianship for his responsible party. He stated he had three or four separate phone calls with female staff on 04/25/25 but did not remember all their names. One said Resident #75 stated he was being held against his will, and he was leaving. If they did not let him leave, he was going to jump out the window. The responsible party stated he was not there to determine Resident #75 ' s state of mind but based on prior history that statement could have easily been interpreted as both ways. Resident #75 was very labile and would swing easily from desperation to suicidal ideation. The responsible party described Resident #75 as having the mind and emotional control of an 8-year-old. He could be very cooperative and sweet one minute and become aggressive and temperamental the next with little warning. He said he recommended staff not let Resident #75 leave the facility unsupervised. The responsible party stated Resident #75 was an alcoholic, and if they had let him go, he would have been drunk by 5:00 P.M. The responsible party stated he almost told them to just let him go based on how upset Resident #75 was, but he thought it would be a shame to waste all the hard work the hospital staff had completed to make him stable. During an interview on 04/30/25 at 3:02 P.M. Activity Aide (AA) #108 stated on 04/25/25 around 10:45 A.M. she noticed Resident #75 pacing near the door between the men and women ' s locked units repeatedly punching his fisted hand into his palm. AA #108 stated she reported it to the activities director that he seemed agitated, and she was afraid he was going to hit somebody. Staff assigned AA #108 to one-on-one supervision with Resident #75 around 11:00 A.M. until about 4:00 P.M., and SW #135 came to the unit and there was a meeting in the activity room with Resident #75, SW #135, Activities Director #75 and MDS nurse #124. They spoke about the resident wanting to leave AMA to go to the bank, about his lifestyle as a lander, and about his knowledge of community resources. Resident #75 stated he had enough money in the bank to get a car or apartment. SW #135 said she could help him with that if he gave her the time. He was calm during the meeting and made no remarks about wanting to hurt himself or anyone else. 366150 Page 23 of 32 366150 05/19/2025 Astoria Place of Cincinnati 3627 Harvey Avenue Cincinnati, OH 45229

The facility bus was not there, or staff could have taken him to the bank that day. Staff took Resident #75 downstairs to ask the DON about signing him out to go to the bank. She told him he could not leave, and they returned to the locked unit. AA #108 stated she was with Resident #75 until he left with EMS personnel, and stated Resident #75 never made any comments to her about self-harm or jumping out the window. During an interview on 04/30/25 at 3:23 P.M., LPN #106 stated she was assigned to the men ' s locked unit on 04/25/25. It was before 11:00 A.M. when Resident #75 approached the nurse ' s station and stated he wanted to leave the facility. He said, I want to get out of this place. I don ' t want to be here. If I don ' t get out of here, I will jump out the window. LPN #106 stated she educated Resident #75 about the potential harm his actions could cause. He stated he did not care, and he would rather be homeless than stay there. LPN #106 stated she did not believe Resident #75 was suicidal at the time; he was just desperate to leave. LPN #106 reported the incident to the DON, and they placed Resident #75 on one-on-one supervision. She called PNP #45 and got a pink slip to send him out to the hospital for suicidal ideations. During an interview on 04/30/25 at 3:41 P.M., LPN #42 stated she met Resident #75 when he admitted to the facility on [DATE] but she was not his admitting nurse. LPN #42 stated Resident #75 repeatedly and obsessively spoke about going to the bank and getting his ATM card.

LPN #42 stated she had been downstairs for approximately five minutes on 04/26/25 when kitchen staff reported Resident #75 was outside on the ground. He was sitting on the concrete at the top of the steps near the entrance to the kitchen, smiling, and asking for a cigarette. He had attempted to walk but could not and stated his ankles hurt. Staff called 911, and he was sent to the hospital. LPN #42 stated she called the hospital later and was informed that Resident #75 was admitted for bilateral ankle fractures and had no head injuries. LPN #42 stated her investigation revealed Resident #75 had removed the lower windowpane and placed it against the wall before eloping by climbing out the window. During an interview on 05/01/25 at 10:18 A.M., Medical Director (MD) #35 stated the admissions team made the decision of where to place residents on admission based on the resident ' s past medical history, mental health history, behaviors, and mental status at the time of admission. MD #35 stated he was aware of the incident with Resident #75 but had not reviewed his chart. MD #35 stated he was in the building on 04/24/25 but did not see Resident #75 because he was not on his schedule to be seen that day. Review of the facility policy titled Wandering, Unsafe Resident, not dated, revealed staff identified residents who were at risk for harm for unsafe wandering and elopement and developed a detailed monitoring plan to maintain safety as indicated. Review of the facility policy titled Safety and Supervision of Residents, dated July 2017, revealed the care team implemented resident-centered interventions to reduce individual risks related to hazards in the environments, including adequate supervision and assistive devices. Monitoring included evaluating the effectiveness of interventions and modifying or replacing interventions as needed.
