During an interview on 7/30/24 at 9:28 a.m. the ADON P said Resident #1 was the resident that the police bought back on 7/27/24 and he was just on the side of the building. She said to the best of what they could figure out there was a family in the building picking up a resident's belonging, she said they felt like Resident #1 had gone out the door by kitchen/ nurses' station with those family members on 300 hall. She said Resident #1 was not considered at risk for wandering until 7/27/24. She said Resident #1 was confused at times but had never tried to leave. She said the nurse on duty LVN A said the police brought the resident back and only waved at her. The nurse said the floor tech brought Resident #1 back into to the facility. During an interview on 7/30/24 at 9:45 a.m. Resident #1 said he did not remember leaving the facility on 7/27/24. He could not say where he lived now or where he used to live.

She said she had never heard him say he was going to leave. She said a while back he thought his family was coming to take him home. He would pack his clothes and say he was waiting on his family to come and get him. She said he would place his clothes in the chair behind him. However recently he had not said anything about leaving. During a telephone interview on 7/30/24 at 10:47 a.m. LVN A said on 7/27/24 around 4:00 p.m. LVN A said she was doing last med pass. She saw Resident # 1, he had been up and down the hallway all day, and she kept an eye on him due to his increased confusion. LVN A said Resident #1 had a UTI and had just finished antibiotics. She said he was wandering up and down the halls more than usual. LVN A said a group of family came to get another resident's belonging. She said Resident #1 had gone to the common area and the several members of a family walked in from the 300 hall. The LVN said she did not hear any alarms going off. She said the family members had been in and out of the facility multiple times. She said the doors were all locked and it was not easy to get out of the facility.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few staff he interviewed had seen him exit the building, but they felt he had got caught up in the traffic of the family leaving the facility. The Administrator said they did not think Resident #1 was trying to elope, and he was found by the apartments across the street. He said the staff did not know he was gone. He said he was not aware of the police saying anything about where he was found but they believed from what the nurse said he was just across the street and not on the main street in front of the facility. The Administrator said he was the abuse coordinator. He said they deliberated calling Resident #1's elopement, but Resident #1 did not have an intent to leave and he was only gone a short time. He said Resident #1 was only gone about 10 minutes as best they could determine with staff interviews. So he had not reported the incident to the State agency. He said he had not talked to Floor Tech C. During a telephone interview on 7/30/24 at 12:35 p.m. Floor Tech C said he was upstairs on the second floor on 7/27/24. He said he was not sure of the time, but he was looking out the patio doors and he saw several police cars. He said a female officer was approaching the front door and he went down to answer the door. He said there were 3 police cars and one emergency vehicle parked by the corner of the facility. He said the officer wanted to know if Resident #1 was their resident. He said they wanted someone to escort Resident #1 back in the building. He said when he saw Resident #1, he was on the major street by the facility. Floor Tech C said Resident #1 said he hurt his hand because he could not stop his wheelchair from going down the hill so fast. He said the resident had passed the facility, crossed the street on the same side of the street, and had rolled down to almost the next street. He said he had turned around somehow but he was in the street because there was no sidewalk. Floor Tech C said Resident #1 said he was glad he did not get by car. He said Resident #1 said he was glad they had come to get him because he was scared a car was going to hit him. The Floor Tech said Resident # 1 was trying to figure out why so many police were there. He said he had wheeled Resident #1 back into the facility from the wheelchair access on the side of the building. He said no one had asked him where the resident was located when he got him from the police. During an interview on 7/31/24 at 10:58 a.m. the Administrator said he had done an investigation regarding Resident # 1 leaving the facility. He said that he had interviewed staff on duty, and they were very direct on the time that they had last seen the resident. He said he did not interview the Floor Tech C, no one had told him was really involved with the incident. He was told a Floor Tech brought Resident # 1 back into the facility. He said CNA I said that she had last seen the resident between 4:10 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. He said LVN A said that she had gotten a call at 4:28 saying that the police had the resident outside. The Administrator said he said that he had not attempted to contact the family because they had just lost a relative. He said that he felt that Resident #1 had got caught up in the door when the family was leaving. He said the family should not have had a code and he does not know who let them in and who let them out or who let the resident out of the facility. During an interview on 7/31/24 at 11:20 a.m. the DON said Resident #1 was more confused since he had a UTI. During an interview on 8/1/24 at 12:30 p.m. the Administrator he had not called the incident in regarding Resident #1, but he realized it should have been called into the state. He said he realized also that he did not take all the steps to complete a thorough investigation. He said from his initial reports it appeared the resident only made it across the street to the apartments and did not get to the stop sign on the main street. Record review of the facility Abuse Prevention and Prohibition Program policy last revised 8/2020 indicated Physical Neglect was inadequate provision of care, leaving someone unattended who needed (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675133 If continuation sheet Page 4 of 15 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 675133 B.

She said he exit to parking lot on the 300-hall looked like it is at the ground level. She said the family removed a lot of stuff, gave two big boxes and a couple of trash bags, and their hands were full. LVN A said they may not have seen the resident exit the facility with them. She said that was the way the staff pieced together Resident #1's possible exit. LVN A said she had texted ADON P to let her know the family had come to get the resident things at 4:17 right before the family left. She said she received a call on 7/27/24 at 4:28 p.m. and was notified Resident #1 was missing and outside with the police. She said that either way he went out the door would have been downhill. She said she had never seen him stand or walk. During an interview on 7/30/24 at 12:25 p.m. the Administrator said he knew Resident #1 had left the faciity on 7/27/24. He said they had come to the conclusion he was not trying to elope. He said no staff he interviewed had seen him exit the building, but they felt he had got caught up in the traffic of the family leaving the facility. The Administrator said they did not think Resident #1 was trying to elope, and he was found by the apartments across the street. He said the staff did not know he was gone. He said he was not aware of the police saying anything about where he was found but they believed from what the nurse said he was just across the street and not on the main street in front of the facility. The Administrator said he was the abuse coordinator. He said they deliberated calling Resident #1's elopement, but Resident #1 did not have an intent to leave and he was only gone a short time. He said Resident #1 was only gone about 10 minutes as best they could determine with staff interviews. So he had not reported the incident to the State agency. He said he had not talked to Floor Tech C. During a telephone interview on 7/30/24 at 12:35 p.m. Floor Tech C said he was upstairs on the second floor on 7/27/24. He said he was not sure of the time, but he was looking out the patio doors and he saw several police cars. He said a female officer was approaching the front door and he went down to answer the door. He said there were 3 police cars and one emergency vehicle parked by the corner of the facility. He said the officer wanted to know if Resident #1 was their resident. He said they wanted someone to escort Resident #1 back in the building. He said when he saw Resident #1, he was on the major street by the facility. Floor Tech C said Resident #1 said he hurt his hand because he could not stop his wheelchair from going down the hill so fast. He said the resident had passed the facility, crossed the street on the same side of the street, and had rolled down to almost the next street. He said he had turned around somehow but he was in the street because there was no sidewalk. Floor Tech C said Resident #1 said he was glad he did not get by car. He said Resident #1 said he was glad they had come to get him because he was scared a car was going to hit him. The Floor Tech said Resident # 1 was trying to figure out why so many police were there. He said he had wheeled Resident #1 back into the facility from the wheelchair access on the side of the building. He said no one had asked him where the resident was located when he got him from the police. During an interview on 7/31/24 at 10:58 a.m. the Administrator said he had done an investigation regarding Resident # 1 leaving the facility. He said that he had interviewed staff on duty, and they were very direct on the time that they had last seen the resident. He said he did not interview the Floor Tech C, no one had told him was really involved with the incident. He was told a Floor Tech brought Resident # 1 back into the facility. He said CNA I said that she had last seen the resident between 4:10 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. He said LVN A said that she had gotten a call at 4:28 saying that the police had the resident outside. The Administrator said he said that he had not attempted to contact the family because they had just lost a relative. He said that he felt that Resident #1 had got caught up in the door when the family was leaving. He said the family should not have had a code and he does not know who let them in and who let them out or who let the resident out of the facility.

The exits on the second floor required walking downstairs or using the elevator to get downstairs to the first floor. The exit in the dining room that went to the smoke break area opened into a courtyard that was gated. Observation of the 300 hall showed all three exit doors had coded locks on the doors. The door to the parking lot right beside the nurse's station was the most used according to the Maintenance supervisor. He said the door to the west end of the hall was used mostly by laundry because that was where it exited to. The door to the East end of the hall was used mostly by maintenance. The door by the 3d floor nursing station was used by families and staff to enter and exit and that door required a code.
