observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for each resident to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and
psychosocial needs for 4 of 11 residents (Residents #1, #2, #3, and #4) reviewed for comprehensive care
planning. The facility failed to develop and implement comprehensive care planning for assessed elopement
risks of Residents #1, #2, #3, and #4. This failure could lead to residents not receiving necessary care and
decreased quality of life. Findings included: 1.Record review of Resident #1's admission Record, dated
1/13/2026, reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Relevant diagnoses included

adjustment disorder (emotional or behavioral reactions to stressful life events), alcohol abuse, and
psychosis (a loss of contact with reality). Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS, submitted
12/3/2025, reflected a BIMS score of 06, which indicated severely impaired cognition. Section E0900 of the
MDS reflected Resident #1 did not exhibit wandering behavior during the assessment period. Record
review of Resident #1's Care Plan Report, undated/printed 1/13/2025, revealed the following:Resident

elopement risk. In an observation and interview on 1/15/2026 at 10:08 AM, Resident #2 was observed in
the common area of the second floor, interacting with staff. While conversational, Resident #2 was unable
to participate in the interview in a meaningful way due to her mental status. Resident #2 did not answer
interview questions and only wanted to discuss her personal history. 3.Record review of Resident #3's
admission Record, dated 1/15/2026, reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Relevant diagnoses included herpesviral [sic] encephalitis (severe inflammation of the brain caused by a

elopement risk. In an interview and observation of Resident #3 on 1/14/2026 at 3:10 PM, Resident #3 was
observed in an unoccupied wing on the first floor of the facility. Resident #3 was inspecting a handrail on
the wall. No staff were present in the hallway. Resident #3 stated he has never attempted to leave the
facility, and he then ended the interview to return to his room. 4.Record review of Resident #4's admission
Record, dated 1/15/2026, reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Relevant

reflected a BIMS score of 01, which indicated severely impaired cognition. Section E0900 of the MDS
reflected Resident #4 exhibited wandering behavior daily during the assessment period. Record review of

12/15/2025 and scored 21, which indicated elopement risk. Record review of Resident #4's Care Plan
Report, undated/printed 1/15/2026, did not reveal care planning related to elopement risk. In an observation
and attempted interview of Resident #4 on 1/15/2026 at 10:10 AM, Resident #4 was observed sleeping in
his bed. Resident #4 awoke upon surveyor entry to the room but declined to participate in the interview. In
an interview with the RCN on 1/14/2026 at 9:50 AM, she said the facility underwent a leadership change in
October 2025, including the Admin, DON, and MDS/care plan nurse. She said care plans were being
overseen by the current DON, but that she was new to the role and had not yet reviewed every care plan
from the former administration. In an interview with the ADO on 1/15/2026 at 12:23 PM, she said she felt
comfortable speaking about the care plan process for the facility as she was involved in the daily functions
during the administration transition period. She said the facility utilizes Elopement Risk Assessments to
alert the IDT of a resident's potential for elopement, and the IDT will then determine specific risks and
interventions for each resident and discuss possible placement in a secured unit for safety. She was
unaware the care plans for Residents #1-4 did not contain planning for elopement risks, and she said the
care plans should contain what is discussed during IDT. Record review of the facility policy titled
Comprehensive Care Planning, undated/printed 1/15/2026, revealed the following: When developing the
comprehensive care plan, facility staff will, at a minimum, use the [MDS] to assess the resident's clinical
condition, cognitive and functional status, and use of services there may be times when a resident risk,
weakness or need is identified within the context of the MDS assessment but may not cause a CAA to
trigger. The facility will address these areas and will document the assessment of these

procedure was for leaving the premises. Resident #1 stated if he wanted to leave the facility, he would walk
out of the front door. He was unsure if he should tell staff prior to leaving. RN B did not respond to a request
for interview left by voicemail on 1/14/2026 at 9:03 AM. In an interview with the RCN on 1/14/2026 at 9:50
AM, she said the Admin and DON employed by the facility at the time of Resident #1's elopement incident
were no longer employees. She said Resident #1 eloped from the facility after a staff member failed to
ensure the door was closed after entering the facility for the scheduled shift. She said Resident #1 was
discovered by a former employee at the gas station who recognized Resident #1. The former employee
notified the RCN of Resident #1's elopement, and she returned Resident #1 to the facility. She said
Resident #1 should have been visualized by the staff every fifteen minutes, as ordered by the NP, but RN B
failed to ensure the observations were conducted. She said RN B received written and verbal counseling for
the incident. She said in response to the investigation, the facility also hired a receptionist to monitor the
front lobby during the daytime hours, placed signage directing visitors and staff to not allow residents to
exit, and performed multiple elopement drills. She said that in-services about elopements, including door
entrance safety, were given to all staff members, and a new procedure for new employees was introduced
to include elopement training. She reported no additional elopement attempts from any residents, and she
said Resident #1's medications were adjusted while he was at the inpatient psychiatric facility, and he had
not exhibited any negative behaviors since readmission. In an interview on 1/14/2026 at 2:13 PM, the
Admin stated all staff received on-the-spot in-servicing regarding procedures and expectations of 1:1
observations at the time the staff member is assigned to service as the 1:1 observer. She said the facility
policy was to maintain visual observation of the resident at all times during 1:1 observation, and a resident
requiring 15 minute observations would be visualized every fifteen minutes to ensure location and safety.
She said LVN A was on medical leave at the time of survey. In an interview on 1/15/2026 at 12:23 PM, the
ADO said Resident #1 had been stable since readmission. She said all residents are monitored for
wandering and elopement through assigned behavior monitoring by all clinical staff and the results are
reviewed during the daily meeting. She said that all staff at the facility have been in-serviced about
elopement procedures, including the risk of exit from the front door. The following staff interviews were
