competencies and skills sets which included knowledge of and appropriate training and supervision for care
for residents with mental and psychosocial disorders, to provide direct services to residents to assure
resident safety for four of four employee records reviewed. (Employee E4, E5, E6 and E7).Review of facility
documentation dated July 5, 2025, revealed Resident R1 who was alert and oriented to self only, was noted
to be off of the unit by nurse during 3pm-llpm shift. Search initiated by nurse, staff on unit notified and
participated. Once it was determined Resident R1 was not on unit, nurse left unit to notify supervisor. It was
at that point that nurse encountered supervisor returning Resident R1 to the unit. Resident R1 was returned
back to the facility by local police. Police reported resident found around the corner at neighbor's house,
resident had rang bell and neighbor contacted police when she came to door. Resident returned to facility

resident left through the back exit door of the facility which only could access by staff. The door was locked
with a number keypad which was functioning properly after the incident. Nursing Home Administrator stated
resident might have followed a staff member who opened the door with the code and walked through the
hallway to the last exit door which could only open by staff without alarming. Administrator stated the door
was not alarming after the elopement which indicated that a code was used to open the door. Administrator
stated resident did not appear in any of the facility stair or elevator camera which confirmed that the
resident used back door to exit the facility. Administrator stated all the staff worked on the unit for the shift
was new agency staff (3 Nurse Aides and 1 Licensed Practical Nurses). Review of care plan for Resident

pictures and memory boxes. Observation of the facility camera dated July 5, 2025, revealed that from 5:30
p.m. to 5:52 p.m., Resident R1 was wandering aimlessly in the dementia unit. All three nurse aides were
sitting in the common area room in the dementia unit with limited interaction with residents. One staff was
using the cell phone while sitting there. Administrator confirmed during the observation that all staff were
new agency staff who did not have any prior knowledge of the resident and the unit. Administrator stated
there was other facility staff working during the same time but was not assigned to the dementia unit. A
request for staff training and competency records for dementia and caring of residents with behavioral
health needs were requested to the Nursing Home Administrator for Employee E4, Nurse Aide, Employee
E5, Nurse Aide, Employee E6, Nurse Aide, and Employee E7, Licensed Practical Nurse. Review of training
records for Employees E4, E5, E6 and E7 did not reveal any evidence that the staff did not have any facility
training and competency on dementia and caring residents with behavioral health needs. 28 Pa Code:
