jeopardy to resident health or
safety
In an interview on 4/24/25 at 10:43 a.m. the Receptionist stated she had been employed at the community
since April 21, 2025. She said she was aware the wander guard alert device was secure throughout the
building. She said to her knowledge the residents on hallway two were the only residents who wore a
wander-guard device. She stated she had not witnessed residents coming to the front door with the wander
guard device and setting off the alert system. She stated she had not observed how the wander-guard
worked with a resident trying to elope. She stated she was not trained on the wander-guard elopement
protocol. She stated she was aware of where the hotline was posted in the community for reporting
purposes, she stated she had no concerns of any abuse, neglect, or elopement.
Residents Affected - Few
In an interview on 4/24/25 at 10:56 a.m. LVN A stated she worked on hallways two, three, and four. She
stated she had been employed at the community for nine months. She said she had residents on halls three
and four with the wander guard devices attached to them. She stated the front door was the main focus for
resident's entry and exit. She said the other doors were always locked, but she had not witnessed a
resident trying to leave. She said CR #1 was a walker/roamer in the community. She said CR #1 was very
busy and hard to get her to rest. She said CR #1 was on hallway five and was not one of her assigned
residents. She said she did not know the exact details of which door the resident left or the exact time. She
said when she was first notified about CR #1 eloping, she was unsure of who CR #1 was. She said the
other staff members had to describe the resident to her for her to remember exactly who exited the
community. She said CR #1 had a best friend that she always walked with every day, but on 08/06/2024 CR
#1's best friend was observed walking in the hallways by herself, so that was very odd behavior. She stated
it was very important to monitor residents who roam a lot around lunchtime because families were in and
out of the community and would hold the door open for a resident to exit, not knowing they were not
capable of leaving the community alone. She said immediately when the elopement was discovered, the
facility did a lockdown of the community followed protocol with a resident count and documentation. She
stated all concerns of abuse or neglect to be reported to Executive Director of Operations. She said we
in-serviced staff on elopement.
In an interview on 4/24/25 at 12:55 p.m. the Fire/Safety staff said the magnetic guard and red color
notification at the top of the doors throughout the facility indicated if the door was locked, not the keypad to
the right of the door. He expressed that all doors had a magnetic lock at the top and could be seen by the
indicated color if it was fully active. He stated the safety metal bar on the door was not necessary. He said
the keypad was an entry measure and if the code was not entered the door would remain locked. He stated
the wander bar at the bottom of the doors would pick up the bracelet attached to residents. He stated the
codes were installed as a double measure to prevent exit.
In an observation on 4/24/25 revealed the front door, hallway one, and smoking/patio had a wander guard
alert system. Hallways 2, 3, 4,5, 6 did not have wander guard protection but had security code pads.
In an observation on 4/24/25, a facility staff member demonstrated an attempt to exit with wander-guard
attached. The alarm was triggered immediately and sounded until the code was entered.
In an interview on 4/24/25 at 1:56 p.m. the Executive Director of Operations stated the community had
magnetic locks at the facility for a long time to her knowledge. She said all the doors had codes and could
be opened for entry. She stated the front, the smoking area/patio, and hallway one exit doors all led to
driveways which were equipped with the wander-guard alert system. She said for emergency purposes the
doors had a 15 second hold and could open but would set off the alarm. She said

the alarm would sound on all doors. She stated if any resident went out of a wander guard equipped door,
the system would go off. She stated the code would have to be entered by a staff member to disarm the
alarm when there was an entry or an exit with a wander-guard resident. She said she was not employed at
the facility when CR #1 eloped but read the details of the report and was aware that staff were in-serviced
and there were currently no additional concerns of elopement.
In an interview on 5/8/25 at 9:54 a.m., the previous Administrator said she did not have any recollection of
what happened. She said everything was in the Provider Investigation Report. She said CR #1 was
ultimately discharged and transferred to another facility. She said elopement training should be in the staff's
orientation packet.
In an interview on 5/8/25 at 10:06 a.m., the previous DON said staff had to check the light on the wander
guard to make sure it was on and had to take the resident to the door to make sure the alarm went off. She
said CR #1 walked around the facility with another resident but was not exit seeking. She said the
beautician walked her back into the facility and the wander guard alarm sounded upon entry. She said she
did not know if anyone was at the receptionist desk. She said she believed the elopement training was
quarterly.
In an observation on 5/8/25 at 11:35 a.m., the DON tested the wander guard system at the front door which
was unlocked and closed. The wander guard sounded approximately one foot away from door and had to
be disarmed by the receptionist.
In an observation on 5/8/25 at 11:38 a.m., the DON tested the wander guard system at the door which led
to the smoking patio area that was unlocked and closed. The wander guard sounded when she was right
next to the door, and it had to be unarmed by another staff member.
In an interview on 5/8/25 at 11:58 a.m., Hospitality Aide/Medication Aide/previous receptionist said she
worked at the facility for 39 years and this month would be 40 years. She said she was the receptionist in
August of 2024. She said she worked from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on 08/06/24. She said when she sits at desk
located by the entrance door, no resident goes out unless the nurse tells her the resident can go out. She
said when she left at 3 p.m. the nurses at the nurse's station would take over. She said CR # 1 never
walked out the front door in front of her. She said when a resident with a wander guard approached the
door, the alarm would sound, and the door would automatically lock. She said the resident was not one that
could go outside alone. She said she did not know if the resident wore a wander guard and did not
remember if she saw the resident that day. She said if they did give her in-service on elopement
procedures, she did not remember but she would not let a resident walk out of the building. The inservice
training record was reviewed with the previous receptionist and she confirmed her signature was not on the
sign in sheet dated 08/06/24. She said after a resident left out the building it needed to be reported to the
charge nurse. Staff would check all the rooms, check outside, and notify the Administrator and the DON.
In an interview on 5/8/25 at 12:34 p.m. CNA G said she had been working at the facility for almost 3 years
and worked the 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. shift. She said she did not think she was assigned to CR #1 that day but
could not remember. She said the resident did have a wander guard on but said she had no idea if the
wander guard was working that day. She said the resident had a pattern of trying to leave the facility. She
was always walking around and could not remember the last time she saw the resident that day. She said if
the resident got close to the door, the door would lock and alarm. She did not know how the wander guard
worked when the door was already opened. She said she did not recall if her wander guard sounded that
day. She said she received elopement training prior to CR #1's

elopement. She said if someone were to elope, she would get help and try to redirect them to the facility.
She said the facility has a code pink to alert all staff and locate the resident.
In an interview on 5/8/25 at 1:17 p.m. LVN W said at the time of the incident the facility did not have a
full-time receptionist. She said the previous receptionist did not work 5 days a week and thinks it was 3
days a week. She said she worked the 6 a.m.-6 p.m. shift and could not remember if the previous
receptionist worked on 8/6/24. She said once the receptionist left, it was everyone's responsibility to monitor
the doors at that time. She said she was working, and the beauty shop person came to the facility and
informed her that the resident was at their beauty shop. She said the person asked if they had a resident
who was missing, and she had everyone stop and do a resident count. She said the beauty shop person
took her to the shop and the resident was sitting in a stationary chair and the resident said she was okay,
no pain, and was taking a walk to get her hair done. She said the beauty shop person took her and the
resident back to the facility. She said the back of the salon and the facility were behind each other and
approximately 0.3 miles away from the facility. She said they entered through the front door, but as soon as
they got close, the door locked, and someone had to let them inside the facility. She said she did not recall
who the last person to see the resident was. She said the DON let them back inside. She said she did not
have to disarm any wander guard alarms that day.
In an interview on 5/8/25 at 12:55 p.m. the Executive Director of Operations said if the exit doors were open
the wander guard would still sound and would have to be turned off manually.
In an observation on 5/8/25 at 1:53 p.m., a resident demonstrated the use of the wander guard with the
door closed and opened. The alarm sounded on both instances.
Record review of Elopement in-service dated 2/13/24 and 06/22/24 revealed Hospitality Aide/Medication
Aide/previous receptionist was listed.
Record review of Elopement in-service dated 6/22/24 and 8/6/24 revealed LVN W was listed.
Record review of the facility's undated Elopement policy read in part, Elopement occurs when a resident
leaves the premises or a safe area without authorization and/or any necessary supervision to do so. A
resident who leaves a safe area may be at risk of heat or cold exposure, dehydration and/or other medical
complications, drowning, or being struck by a motor vehicle. Examples of criteria that put a resident at
higher risk of elopement . cognitive impairment . exit-seeking behaviors . new admission wanting
desperately to leave .System Highlights: all residents are assessed by the licensed nurse upon admission,
quarterly, or with a significant change in condition for the risk of elopement. Interventions are added to the
care plan and monitored for effectiveness. A notebook should be maintained at each nurses station
containing a picture and a completed missing resident profile for all residents at risk for elopement.
Elopement drills are conducted quarterly as training exercises for staff to practice what to do in case of an
elopement. If a resident is missing: Check the resident sing out book and check to see if they are at an
appointment, with activities, transportation, or with family. Code pink is called if the resident cannot be
immediately located after a search of the inside and outside parameters .
