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.

A receptionist was seated at a desk facing the front door of the facility. The desk had an unobstructed view of the front lobby. The front door was locked, and the pressure bar initiated an alarm when pushed. In an observation on 1/3/2026 at 4:00 PM, a gas station was observed directly across a two lane street from the facility, approximately 25 yards away. The facility and the gas station were observed to be on opposite sides of a four-way stop, and the traffic was minimal. Observed vehicles were traveling at low speeds, approximately 30 miles per hour. In an observation and interview on 1/14/2026 at 9:44 AM, Resident #1 was observed ambulating independently in the first-floor common area of the facility. Resident #1 could not recall the elopement incident, nor could he state what the facility 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.
