Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure their closed observation
protocol (a protocol for observing residents who are at risk for harm every fifteen minutes) documentation
was complete in accordance with the facility ' s policy and procedure (P&P) for one resident (Resident 1)
when Resident 1 returned to the facility after he eloped on January 7, 2024.
This failure has the potential to result in Resident 1 to be at risk for further elopement without supervision of
his whereabouts which could increase Resident 1 ' s risk for harm.

documentation where staff will document time, location, behavior observed, interventions and initials of the
