and out of a car.
Residents Affected - Few
e. Resident 1 was unable to be assessed due to medical or safety concerns to wheel himself 50 feet in a

During an interview on 10/15/24 at 1:19 p.m. with Social Services Director (SSD), SSD stated Resident 1
discharged suddenly per family request after he went out to an eye appointment on 10/4/24. SSD stated the
facility transported Resident 1 to the eye appointment. SSD stated she found it unusual to have a request
for discharge while a resident was out on an appointment.
During an interview on 10/15/24 at 1:54 p.m. with Transportation Supervisor (TS), TS stated on 10/4/24,
she transported Resident 1 to his eye appointment where he was to meet his family member. TS stated
when she arrived at the eye appointment Resident 1 ' s family member was not there to meet him, so she
dropped off Resident 1 in front of the building and went back to transport other residents in the building with
appointments the same day. TS stated she was later called by Resident 1 ' s family member and realized
she had dropped off Resident 1 at the wrong address. TS stated she contacted SSD about dropping
Resident 1 off at the wrong address. TS stated, It was my mistake I dropped him (Resident 1) off at the
wrong address. TS stated she was not informed by the facility when a resident cannot be left alone or was
in need of someone to be with them.
During an interview on 10/15/24 at 2:02 p.m. with SSD, SSD stated she was informed on 10/4/24 by
Resident 1 ' s case manager he was dropped off on his own at the wrong address. SSD stated due to
Resident 1 ' s cognition and need for assistance he should have had someone with him.
During an interview on 10/15/24 at 2:11 p.m. with Administrator, Administrator stated Anything and
everything (should be) communicated about the resident. Especially if they are to meet a family member or
escort. If no one is there to meet them call home (facility) and get further instruction. Administrator stated
residents in need of an escort should not be left alone on appointment due to their cognition and chance for
elopement (leaving a healthcare facility without authorization or supervision putting health and/or safety at
risk).
During a review of the facility ' s policy and procedure (P&P) titled, TRANSPORTATION, not dated, the P&P
indicated, It is the policy of this facility to assist residents in accessing transportation according to their
needs. Social Services staff works with other members of the Interdisciplinary Team to determine a resident
' s need for transportation. A resident may also request assistance with transportation. Any special
considerations pertaining to transportation, such as limitations or preferences, should be documented in the
resident ' s clinical record.
