prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on

supervision to prevent an elopement of a resident identified as being at risk for elopement (Resident 3).
Resident 3 was found in the street approximately 0.3 miles away from the facility. This failure placed a total
of eight additional residents in an Immediate Jeopardy situation who were identified as at risk for elopement
and not on a locked unit (Residents 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13). Findings Include:Review of facility policy,

the blood. A buildup of toxins affects the brain's ability to function), and gastroesophageal reflux disease
(GERD-when stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus and causes heartburn). Review of Resident

wander guard to the right ankle (a bracelet that alerts staff by an alarm if they go beyond a specified area),
check placement every shift and check functioning every night shift. Review of Resident 3's current
physician orders revealed an order, dated February 5, 2026, for a wander guard to the left ankle, check
placement every shift and check functioning every night shift. Review of Resident 3's care plan revealed an

with a wander guard gets close to it, but they determined that the door was only alarming intermittently. He
further stated that the door has a delay when closing so after the code is put in for the door to open, if
someone else approaches the door prior to it closing, it will open again, without the code. He stated that it
is not confirmed, but possible that Resident 3 could have gotten out the door because of that delay. During
the interview, the NHA also stated that the door company has ordered parts to fix the door and until it is
fixed, a staff member is assigned to sit at the door 24/7 to monitor anyone entering and exiting. The facility
has also disabled the button at the receptionist desk that opens the door; therefore, the receptionist needs
to go to the door and physically enter the code every time someone enters or exits the building. The NHA
stated that they have also added signs to the door to remind staff and visitors to be mindful of anyone
behind you when exiting, to ensure a resident is not following behind. Information provided by the facility
indicated that there are eight additional residents identified as elopement risks that reside on the unlocked
units (Residents 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13). Review of the clinical records for Residents 6-13 revealed
orders for a wander guard and to check placement every shift and function every night shift. The facility
failed to provide adequate supervision to prevent an elopement. Camera footage confirmed that Resident 3
left the building on February 4, 2026, at 5:33 PM but was not noticed to be missing until approximately 8:45
PM. Resident 3 was found in the street approximately 0.3 miles away from the facility, approximately three
hours and 40 minutes after exiting the facility.The NHA was provided the immediate jeopardy template on
February 9, 2026, at 1:29 PM, and an immediate action plan was requested.The facility initiated immediate
interventions on February 4, 2026, after the incident. Documents and actions provided by the facility to
address the Immediate Jeopardy included: -Resident 3 had wander guard device replaced and an updated

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, facility document review, and staff interviews, it was
determined that the facility failed to maintain complete clinical records for one of 14 residents reviewed
(Resident 3). Findings Include:Review of facility policy, titled Elopement, revised June 2023, revealed, Post
Elopement/upon return to the facility, the Director of Nursing Services or Charge Nurse shall: complete and
file an Incident Report; and Document the event in the resident's medical record.Review of Resident 3's
clinical record revealed diagnoses that included alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver (advanced, irreversible
scarring of the liver caused by long-term heavy alcohol consumption, often resulting in liver failure), hepatic
encephalopathy (a serious condition that occurs when the liver is unable to filter toxins from the blood. A
buildup of toxins affects the brain's ability to function), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD-when
stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus and causes heartburn). Review of facility reported incident
revealed that on February 4, 2026, at approximately 8:45 PM, facility staff were unable to locate Resident 3.
