Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policy and documents, clinical records, and staff interviews, it was determined that the
facility failed to make certain each resident received adequate supervision and failed to identify a resident
who was an elopement risk which resulted in an elopement for one of five residents (Resident R1). This
failure created an immediate jeopardy situation.
Findings include:
Review of the facility Elopement/Unauthorized Absence Policy policy dated 8/2/24, last reviewed 3/20/25,
indicated the facility will identify residents with potential and/or actual risk factors for elopement and protect
the resident through development and implementation of safety interventions. In the event of a resident
elopement the facility will implement its policies and procedures promptly to locate the resident in a timely
manner. Upon determining that a resident cannot be located a headcount will be conducted. If resident Is
still missing Code Green using the resident name, room number, and unit name will be announced.
Announce three times. The clinical supervisor or designs will notify the Administrator, the Director of
Nursing (DON), and the attending physician.
Review of the facility's admission Policy dated 3/16/23, last reviewed 3/20/25, stated the facility will admit
only those individuals requiring care and services to meet their physical, psychosocial, and emotional
needs and whose needs can be met by the facility. The facility will individually review and assess each
prospective admission to determine if their specific needs can be adequately in the facility before
acceptance.
Review of Resident R1's admission record indicated she was admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses of
dementia (loss of cognitive functioning- thinking remembering, and reasoning, to such an extent that it
interferes with a person's daily life and activities), anxiety, and bipolar (a mental health condition that affects
a person's mood, energy, activity, and thought and is characterized by manic (or hypomanic) and
depressive episodes).
Review of Resident R1's Hospital Discharge summary dated [DATE], revealed the resident required
minimal assistance with sit to stand transfers. Orders for the next facility related to activity was as prior to
hospitalization, with no restrictions. The resident was independent with a wheeled walker prior to admission.
Review of Resident R1's admission assessment completed 4/25/25, at 2:37 p.m. by Licensed Practical
Nurse (LPN), Employee E2 revealed the resident was ambulatory with assistance. The resident was
disoriented, had a memory impairment, and disorganized thinking. The resident was assessed to be able to
wheel at least 50 feet in a wheelchair with partial/moderate assistance. Resident R1's elopement risk
assessment asked if the resident was ambulatory or independent in a wheelchair and LPN, Employee E2
selected No-Clinically not at risk for elopement. No further questions were asked and Resident R1 was not
identified as an elopement risk. The facility failed to identify Resident R1 as an elopement risk and initiate
an elopement care plan.
Review of Resident R1's progress note dated 4/25/25, at 2:40 p.m. entered by LPN, Employee E2 revealed
the resident was only alert to self and unable to make needs known. Resident was very confused.

facility. The facility failed to implement their admission policy and ensure the facility reviewed and assessed
Resident R1 to determine if their specific needs can be adequately met in the facility before acceptance.
Review of Resident R1's investigation on 5/8/25, revealed Resident R1 had an increase in mobility from the
initial elopement assessment. When Resident R1's mobility increased staff intervened with snacks and
drinks. The facility failed to reassess Resident R1 for an elopement risk and implement a care plan to
prevent Resident R1 from eloping off the unit on 4/25/25. When RN Supervisor, Employee E1 was aware
Resident R1 could not be located, RN, Employee E1 failed to follow the facility's resident elopement
unauthorized absence procedure and call code green prior to notifying the DON.
During an interview on 5/8/25, at 9:37 a.m. admission Director, Employee E4 stated prior to accepting a
resident to the facility, hospital referral documents are reviewed from central intake which is comprised of
four different people. Once central intake combs through it, a decision is made to accept the resident or not.
If the resident is accepted, the admission Director reads through the hospital documentation to see if a
resident needs to be placed in the MIU or needs medical equipment. admission Director, Employee E4
stated They have missed it, sometimes I miss things. Admissions Director, Employee E4 confirmed the
facility's elopement risk assessment does not identify residents who are at risk for eloping. admission
Director, Employee E4 indicated just because a resident is not ambulatory at the time of admission, does
not mean they are not at risk for eloping.
During an interview on 5/8/25, at 10:11 a.m. the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Director of Nursing
(DON) indicated the root cause of Resident R1's elopement was staff initially thought the resident was not
going anywhere, then Resident R1 became more mobile. When asked what the facility did to prevent the
incident from reoccurring, the NHA stated elopement assessments were completed for those who were
previously identified as a risk and verbal education was provided to all nursing staff. The facility failed to
assess all residents for a risk of elopement and educate all clinical and non-clinical staff. The NHA and
DON confirmed the facility failed to identify Resident R1 as an elopement risk upon admission, ensure
Resident R1 received adequate supervision, and follow the facility's resident elopement unauthorized
absence procedure and call code green prior to notifying the DON.

for completing elopement assessments for new admissions. When asked how often assessments are
completed, LPN, Employee E3 stated I am not certain, I am agency. LPN, Employee E3 indicated Resident
