Residents Affected - Some
coworkers if an elopement occurred. RN H stated rhetorical questions (questions to make a point rather
than to get an answer) like Do we notify the doctor or RP?. She revealed she was present when Resident
#1 eloped and stated she was not asked for a witness statement, which she felt would be the procedure for
this incident to figure out how this resident left the building.
Observation 01/16/25 at 04:32AM revealed the facility's front door was locked from the outside. However, it
was revealed the doors were not locked going from the inside of the facility to the outside of the facility.
During an interview and observation on 01/16/25 at 04:38AM with ADON B, ADON B revealed there were 2
doors to open before accessing the outside, in the front of the building. The first door had a machine
attached to the door that should lock the doors if a resident with a wander guard bracelet approached the
door. She further revealed if a resident had a wander guard the first door should lock itself to prevent these
residents from walking outside, however, if the 1st door was held open for 15 seconds, then the resident
could walk out but the alarm will continue to sound. She revealed when the alarm sounded, the staff would
look to see what exit was alarming to investigate if a resident left the building or not. She further revealed
the second and last door that goes to the outside did not have an alarm. ADON B revealed residents
without wander guards could open both doors to exit the front of the building without any alarms sounding.
ADON B further revealed if a resident was allowed to go out on pass and wanted to leave, they would have
to sign out with staff. She revealed there were no current residents that sign out on pass during the
overnight shift.
During an interview on 01/16/25 at 05:27AM, the current administrator (Administrator I) revealed if there
was a confirmed elopement or abuse, neglect, exploitation, he would print the current staff roster and train
100% of all facility staff members. He revealed he would be important for all staff to know what to do in the
case of these situations.
During a combined interview on 01/16/25 at 05:51AM, RN A and CNA D revealed they did not recall being
trained about topics that included elopement or residents who wander after the incident where Resident #1
left the facility. RN A revealed she did know a little bit of what to do if a resident eloped and she would
check all the rooms and outside of the facility if the door alarmed. CNA D revealed those residents with
wander guards would alarm the door if they opened the door to exit the facility. RN A revealed she knew
what residents were at risk for elopement because it popped up on her point of care screen. CNA D
revealed she knew residents were at risk for elopement if they were wearing a wander guard, but it did not
show her on her point of care screen.
During an interview on 01/16/25 at 01:54PM, OT AQ revealed since February 2024, she had not received
any training to include elopement and Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation. She was educated on Elopement
this morning to include pay attention to exit seeking behaviors.
During an interview on 01/16/25 at 04:09PM, COTA J revealed Resident #3 left the building and walked
down the road and about 1 to 2 blocks away from the facility before an unidentified resident told her they
saw Resident #3 outside. She revealed she did not recall how Resident #3 got out and that the door alarms
did not sound when resident left the building. She revealed she was trained on elopement before this
incident and refreshers after .
Record review of in-service about policy Wandering and Elopements, dated 03/17/24, reflected 20 staff
were in-serviced. Requested staff roster for 03/17/24 on 01/15/25 at 09:50AM and no staff roster was able
