Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure the resident environment remained
free of accident hazards as possible, and each resident received adequate supervision and assistance
devices to prevent elopement for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for accident hazards and
supervision.
1. The facility failed to ensure Resident # 1 had adequate interventions to prevent elopement on 04/08/24
after he had verbalized and or attempted to leave the facility on 03/15/24, 03/17/24, 03/18/24, and
03/31/24.
2. The facility failed to prevent Resident #1 from eloping from the facility on 04/08/24. Resident #1 wheeled
himself approximately 0.3 miles from the facility.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was identified on 07/09/24 at 5:51 p.m. While the IJ was removed on
07/10/24, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated and a severity of no actual harm
with potential for more than minimal harm, due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the
corrective systems.
These failures could place residents at risk of serious injury or harm.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 07/09/24, reflected Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old
male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #54 had diagnoses which included Dementia
(loss of memory), stroke, diabetes (a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar,
is too high), and seizures. Resident #1 was his own responsible party.
Record review of Resident #1's comprehensive care plan dated 08/28/23, reflected Resident #1 had
behavior issues because he would decide at times that he wanted to leave the facility and go homeless.
Resident #1 was educated on safety and allowed to vent and express his frustrations. Resident #1
attempted multiple times to exit the building. Resident #1 voiced he wanted to leave. The staff interventions
were if reasonable, to discuss the resident's behavior. Explain/reinforce why the behavior was inappropriate
and/or unacceptable and praise for any indication of the resident's, progress/improvement in behavior.
Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 03/21/24, reflected Resident #1
understood and was understood by others. Resident #1's BIMS score was 03, which indicated he was
severely cognitively impaired. Resident #1 required assistance with bathing and was independent with

where staff observed him and assisted him back to the facility. The intervention was to place Resident #1 on
1:1 monitoring, apply a wander guard, and distract the resident from wandering by offering pleasant
diversions, structured activities, food, conversation, television, and books. Resident #1's care plan did not
address Resident #1's risk for elopement prior to 04/08/24.
Record review of the consolidated physician orders, dated 04/08/24, reflected Resident #1 to have a
wander guard for wandering and staff to monitor every shift for the function of the wander guard. Resident

reflect any documentation of changes in his condition that could have caused Resident #1 to make
statements or attempt to leave the facility. Resident #1's electronic medical record did not reflect any
interventions to prevent elopement except for redirection prior to his elopement on 04/08/24.
During an interview on 07/08/24 at 1:06 p.m., the RCN said she was the traveling DON and started with this
facility on 03/25/24, and Resident #1 eloped on 04/08/24. She said she was in the facility on the day
Resident #1 had eloped. She said she left the facility before he eloped. She said staff called her at home to
notify her of his elopement and they had located him and brought him back to the facility with no visual
injuries noted. She said Resident #1 escaped out of the 400 hall exit door. She said the way he broke the
door; the alarm did not go off to alert staff. She said she was amazed at how he escaped, she said he was
determined by the way the door looked. She said she was unaware of any statements Resident #1 made
before his elopement. She said she saw where he had a lot of falls according to the fall log and was trying
to find out why. She said she had ordered labs, talked with the NP, and asked the pharmacist to review his
medication. She said it was only after his elopement that she looked further into his medical records and
realized he did not have sufficient documentation in his chart to show what the facility had done to prevent
his elopement. She said she wrote orders for his wander guard and called the psychiatrist. She said he had
a telehealth visit with the NP psychiatrist on 04/09/24. She said the staff had already implemented the 1:1.
She said they continued 1:1 until he was discharged from the facility on 05/19/24.
During an interview on 07/08/24 at 2:36 p.m., the MDS nurse said she was on her way home from the store
when she noticed Resident #1 between the facility and the shopping center. She said she called the facility,
spoke with LVN B, and told him what she saw. LVN B said he was not aware Resident #1 had left the
facility. She said she parked her car and by then LVN B was outside of the facility. She said by the time she
parked her car Resident #1 was in the shopping center parking lot a few hundred yards away. She said she
and LVN B brought Resident #1 back to the facility. She said he did not have any injuries but was laughing
and said he was going to leave again. She said she was aware of his threats to leave the facility and his
going to the front door and pushing on the door. She said she did not think he was serious because he
would wait until staff was around and then make the statement he was going to leave. She said I thought he
did it more for attention. She said she had not care planned his attempts or statements of elopement before
he eloped. She said she thought it was a behavior and had care planned his behaviors.
During an interview on 07/08/24 at 3:16 p.m., the Psychiatrist NP said she had been seeing Resident #1.
She said she knew he had behaviors but was not aware of his statements or attempts to leave the facility.
She said they called her after he eloped on 04/08/24 and she did a telehealth visit (online doctor's visit) on
04/09/24. She said her husband had been sick and she had missed the last few scheduled visits for
Resident #1. She said she missed his 03/13/24, 03/21/24, and 04/04/24 visits. She said if she had known
about his statements or attempts to leave the facility, she could have changed her visits, done a telehealth
visit, or made medication adjustments.
During an interview on 07/08/24 at 5:15 p.m., LVN A said she was aware of Resident #1's threats and
attempts to leave the facility. She said she notified the Administrator, DON, and NP about most of Resident
#1's attempts to leave the facility but was not sure about all his attempts. LVN A said on some occasions
she was instructed to send him to the hospital but on other occasions, she monitored him closely. LVN A
said she had not completed and did not know she needed to complete an elopement assessment, place
him on every 30-minute checks, or update his care plan when he attempted to leave or made threats that
he wanted to leave the facility. LVN A said Resident #1 could have injured himself on the uneven road or
even died if a car had hit him.

During an interview on 07/08/24 at 5:30 p.m., LVN C said she was the charge nurse when Resident #1
eloped on 04/08/24. She said the MDS nurse notified her that Resident #1 was outside the facility between
the facility and the shopping center. She said she was not aware Resident #1 had left the facility grounds.
She said when she went outside LVN B and the MDS nurse were bringing Resident #1 into the facility. She
said LVN B assessed Resident #1 with no visual injuries noted. She said she called the Administrator, the
DON, and his family. She said Resident #1 was in the dining room eating his supper around 5:30 p.m.
which was the last time she had seen him. She said without the staff knowing Resident #1 had left the
facility he could have been injured or hit by a car. She said Resident #1 had attempted to leave the facility
before but nothing like this. She said they just redirected him mostly. She said she did not do an elopement
assessment or update his care plan on his attempts to leave the facility because she was not aware she
needed to do them. She said she believed she told the Administrator and DON of his prior attempts.
During an interview on 07/08/24 at 5:50 p.m., LVN C said he received a call from the MDS nurse on
04/08/24, but he was unable to recall at what time the phone call was received. He said the MDS nurse
reported Resident #1 was outside the facility between the facility and the shopping center. He said he went
outside and when he saw Resident #1, he was in the shopping center parking lot. He said he and the MDS
nurse brought Resident #1 back to the facility. He said he assessed him with no visual injuries. He said
Resident #1 made the statement he was going to do it again (leave the facility). He said he then went to see
how Resident #1 left the facility. He said it appeared he unscrewed the bolts with his hands on the door and
then kicked the door open. He said the magnetic hardware was still attached to the door therefore the alarm
did not go off. He said he found the screws and screwed them back in. He said the maintenance staff was
called, and they returned to the facility and retightened the screws. He said the door had been properly
repaired since Resident #1's elopement.
During an interview on 7/9/24 at 12:34 p.m., LVN D said she had been employed at the facility for about 6
months. She said Resident #1 had some changes in his behavior since mid-February and had escalated
since that time. She said Resident #1 pulled on the front door several times before he eloped on 04/08/24.
She said she was instructed by the ADON and DON to redirect Resident #1 when she saw him near the
exit doors and she instructed the aides to do the same. She said she was not aware of any elopement
assessments, or how to update a care plan. She said she was a new nurse, and this was her first job.
During an interview on 7/9/24 at 2:34 p.m., CNA EE said she knew Resident #1. She said Resident #1 was
quiet when he came to the facility but over the last few months, he changed. She said he was coming out of
his room and saying he wanted to leave the facility and he attempted to leave a few times before he eloped
on 04/08/24. She said the nurses were aware and they monitored him mostly. She said she remembered
one time they sent him to the hospital because he would not leave the front door but when he returned, he
was still saying he was going to leave the facility. The nurses on duty were aware, but she was unable to
recall their names.
During an attempted phone interview on 07/09/24 at 3:00 p.m., with the previous ADON was unsuccessful,
a message was left.
During an attempted phone interview on 07/09/24 at 3:10 p.m., with the previous Administrator was

facility. She said he received psychiatric services, and they were adjusting his medications.
During an interview on 7/10/24 at 1:33 p.m., the previous ADON said Resident #1 was aggressive and an
elopement risk. She said Resident #1 attempted to leave the facility on several occasions before he eloped
on 04/08/24. She said she had consulted psychiatric services, and she instructed staff to stay with the
resident or call the police if needed when he attempted to leave the facility. She said she could not recall
them making referrals to other facilities even after he had made statements and/or attempts to leave the
facility. She said after Resident #1 eloped they placed him on 1:1, and shortly afterward gave him a 30-day
notice. She said they started making referrals to other facilities and notified the Ombudsman. She said she
did not know the facility's elopement policy.
During an attempted phone interview on 07/10/24 at 2:00 PM, Resident #1 was unable to be reached.
During an interview on 7/10/24 at 5:00 p.m., the previous Administrator said she was the Administrator
when Resident #1 eloped. She said she was notified the MDS nurse drove by the facility and saw Resident
#1 going towards the shopping center away from the facility. She said after they brought Resident #1 into
the facility, they placed him on 1:1. She said there were times when Resident #1 said he wanted to leave
the facility before he eloped on 04/08/24. She said during the times Resident #1 attempted to leave the
facility or made statements he wanted to leave the facility; they did not have a social worker; so, she was
doing the best she could. She said looking back they should have placed him on 1:1 after he started
making statements or attempted to leave the facility. She said she could not recall the elopement policy for
the facility.
Record review of the facility's policy, Elopement Prevention , dated 01/23, reflected, Policy Statement Every
effort will be made to prevent elopement episodes while maintaining the least restrictive environment for
residents who are at risk for elopement.
1. The Elopement Risk Assessment will be completed upon admission. The assessment should be
completed by reviewing the resident's medical history and social history. Information may be obtained by
reviewing current medical records, if available, an interview with the resident/family, or a conference with
the interdisciplinary team member. The assessment tool should be completed, and interventions
implemented as indicated. The Elopement Risk Assessment is to be completed at least quarterly, after an
elopement attempt, upon new exit-seeking behavior, and upon change of condition.
3. The resident's current chart and assessments will be reviewed to determine what changes have occurred
that would trigger elopement episodes.
4. The resident's care plan will be modified to indicate the resident is at risk for elopement episodes.
5. Interventions into elopement episodes will be entered into the resident's care plan and medical record.

the ADON, MDS, BOM, HR, Dietary manager, Maintenance supervisor, Housekeeping Supervisor, and
activity director all who indicated they received a written in-service regarding the process of elopement
prevention and response. Staff was able to state what to do if a resident made statements or attempts to
leave the facility and what to do if a resident eloped from the facility.
During a phone interview on 07/10/24 at 1:30 p.m., the facility medical doctor said he was aware of the IJ
received and attended a QAPI meeting via phone.
During an interview on 7/11/24 at 2:36 p.m. the DON said when a resident starts making statements, such
as I want to leave, we do not dismiss the statements. Staff should report any statements or attempts to
leave the facility to their management. She said even if staff believed a resident was joking, they should
take any statements or attempts to leave the facility seriously. Staff should do another elopement
assessment, update the care plan, and be thorough on what interventions they put in place. Resident #1
had a traumatic brain injury also known as TBI (damage to the brain which could affect the way a person
thinks or behaves) so she said she would have done an in-service with staff about his disease process. She
said she would educate staff on making sure they kept their eye on him and placed him on every 30-minute
check. She said as management, she would coordinate with psychiatric services, the doctor, and any other
outside resources. She said then she would have made referrals to a more equipped facility. She said the
Administrator and herself were responsible for the safety and well-being of all residents.
During an interview on 7/11/24 at 2:41 p.m., the RCN said the facility failed to follow its policy on
prevention. She said when the facility became aware of Resident #1's statements to leave the facility or his
attempts to leave the facility staff should have followed the policy on prevention and elopement. She said
after he eloped the staff told her they tried to find him placement and other things but when she looked in
his electronic medical records, she could not locate the information. She said during the POR they
educated all staff on the facility's policy and felt if this situation ever happened again staff would implement
their policy. She said the DON and the Administrator should have been responsible for following up on the
statements and ensuring they had things in place to prevent the elopement.
During an interview on 7/11/24 at 2:56 p.m., the Administrator said whenever a resident made statements
about wanting to leave the facility staff should have done an elopement assessment, elopement drill,
elopement in-service, staff education, and resident assessment. He said he would have placed Resident #1
on every 30-minute check until they could have placed him in a secure unit. He said his goal would have
been to keep him safe until he was placed in a secure unit. He said staff were in-serviced on what to do if
this situation ever arose again.
Record review of the Elopement risk assessments for all residents in the facility completed on 7/9/24
revealed 5 residents at risk of elopement.
Record review of the 5 identified residents at risk of elopement revealed their care plans and interventions
were updated.
Record review of the Elopement Response and Prevention in-service, dated 07/09/24, given by RCN, to the
Administrator, Administrator in training, and DON revealed the policy on elopement response and
prevention.

Administrator, and DON signed off by staff who attended or were phoned revealed they were instructed on
the policy for elopement response and prevention.
Record review of the sign-in sheet for the additional QAPI meeting conducted on 7/9/24 revealed, the QAPI
team will update the elopement system with new interventions discussed to ensure compliance with the
recommendations implemented as well as a plan in place for sustainability. An In-service was given to all
staff including the Administrator, DON, and ADON on the following policies: 1. Elopement Prevention 2.
Elopement Response. Once compliance was established Administrator and DON/ADON would monitor the
system weekly, to ensure continuous compliance was met.
The Administrator was informed the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 07/10/24 at 2:30 p.m. The facility
remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated and a severity level of no actual harm with a potential for
more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy and due to the facility's need to evaluate the
effectiveness of the corrective systems that were put into place.
