wandering assessment, call police for case #, and 15-minute monitoring for 72 hours. Conducted by LVN S
and signed by all nursing staff. During an interview with the ADMN on 10/14/2025 at 10:56am, she stated
CR #1 had a history of elopements from the window while in secured unit. The ADMN stated the resident
wanted to go see the mother of his kids and the next day he eloped. She stated the resident signed an
AMA form after eloping because he did not want to return to the facility. The ADMN did state they were not
present when the residents eloped, so they were only informed of what took place via telephone by the
DON. Once it was verified CR #1 was no longer at the facility or surrounding areas, the incident was
reported to HHSC and followed through with an investigation to locate CR #1. The ADMN stated the reason
for the resident being in the secured unit was based off family and what information was provided at
admission. She stated the reason are based off the residents diagnosis or if the family's input. The ADMN
stated she did not recall specifically why the resident was placed into the secured unit but does know it was
for a reason, and it would be based on their BIMS score. During an interview with DON on 10/14/2025 at
12:06pm, she stated she was contacted by nursing staff the resident eloped, and a perimeter search would
need to be started, and she also contacted the family. After speaking with the family, she was told the
resident was at his previous home and contacted his RP who provided him with $40.00 and a bike. The
resident was not found the night he eloped from the facility, but the social worker did go to the previous
home of the resident the next morning. The ombudsman called and stated the resident was able to sign
himself out by using the AMA form. The DON was unsure of how the resident eloped from the facility and
stated she was unsure because it was so long ago and could not remember. The secured unit does not
have an alarm on the windows, or any other windows at the facility. The DON stated the next day, she does
remember the window had to be replaced and they were informed by someone from the state they are able
to put nails on the windows, but the window could not be raised greater than 3 inches, so that's what they
did to every window at the facility. The DON stated this was the first time a resident had eloped out of the
window from the secured unit. The resident did not give any indication of exit seeking behaviors before he
eloped and appeared to be a very pleasant guy, quiet. The DON stated the reason why the resident was put
into secured unit was due to him attempting an elopement at a previous facility and it was recommended for
the resident to remain in the secured unit, as that was where he was at in previous facility. The DON stated
the resident could not sign himself out due to him being in the secured unit, but he was evaluated on
02/17/2025, where it revealed the resident was a high-risk wanderer, which was why he remained in
secured unit. The DON stated it would be considered a restraint for the resident to be placed on the
secured unit based on his BIMS solely, but because had had an history, it was not considered a restraint.
The resident's family member also wanted him to stay in the secured unit because the family knew he was
at high risk for wandering. The DON stated she did not know how the resident was able to elope from the
facility and get to his previous home. The facility had since done elopement in-services to educate staff on
what to do in case of an elopement. In the case of an elopement, staff are to checking any and all closed
doors, anywhere a resident could be hiding, immediate location of the facility and surrounding areas, teams
are broken out and the perimeter is searched until the resident is found. If the resident is not found within
15-30 minutes Law Enforcement will need to be contacted. The facility hired a third CNA to the secured unit
for greater monitoring and to prevent elopement. The DON stated the risk of the resident eloping was being
killed because the facility was on a main highway. The resident could have also been hurt because the
facility was also in a dark crime area. The DON was not present when the resident was found, therefore he
was never accessed for possible injury. In an interview with CR #1's family member on 10/14/2025 at

stated the reason the resident was in the secured unit was he left out of the window at a prior facility was
successful, although he was found shortly. The family member stated the resident was living on his own
before going to the hospital, and it was recommended that he did not live alone. The family member stated
they did keep the lights and water on, should the resident ever return. The family member stated the
resident could not be in a nursing home and not be secured because he would try to leave. The day the
resident eloped; it was unsure of how the resident got back to his previous address but stated that it was
within 9 miles of the facility. Observation of facility windows on 10/14/2025 at 1:15ppm with LVN P for the
following rooms: room [ROOM NUMBER] measured at opening no more than 2.5 inches on the right and
3.5 inches on the left (secured unit). room [ROOM NUMBER] measured at opening no more than 5 inches
to the left and unable to measure the window to the right due to a resident in bed (secured unit). room
[ROOM NUMBER] measured at opening no more than approximated 6 inches. room [ROOM NUMBER]
measured at opening 5.5 inches. LVN P stated in case of emergency or fire, in the secured unit there are 5
emergency exits that can be used to ensure residents are out of the facility safely. The only risk would be if
the residents could possibly catch fire if in proximity and the windows not being able to open entirely. During
an interview with MD on 10/14/2025 at 2:38pm stated she was notified by the DON of the resident eloping
from the window. MD stated if the resident has exit seeking behaviors it has been an understanding the
resident should be in a secure unit and use clinical judgment, not based on the BIMS score. The MD stated
if there was a risk of elopement, the recommendation was for the resident to be in the secured unit. She
stated with a diagnosis of dementia, if the residents scored well on the BIM's, ADL wise the resident may
not be able to care for themselves. The MD stated they can contradict each other but if the resident was in
the secured unit he was not competent enough to sign himself out. The MD recalled the resident being able
to make decisions but could not recall the specifics of decision making. The MD was not aware of CR #1
signing the AMA form, as she stated that would not have been necessary because the resident had already
left the facility. The MD stated she was under the impression the family wanted the resident to be back
home but did not question their reasoning or who was to care for the resident. The MD stated she was also
informed the resident did not want to return to the facility. The risk of elopement was ultimate and could
cause harm to the resident or injury, which would be the worst-case scenario. During an interview with LVN
W on 10/14/2025 at 4:08pm, she stated she was present the day CR#1 eloped from the facility. She stated
the resident was acting normal all day with no signs of wandering/elopement and as trays were being
passed out, that was when it was noticed the resident escaped from the window. There were no witnesses
to the resident leaving the facility. The resident pushed the window screen out and she was unsure if the
resident being injured as he eloped. Record review on 10/15/2025 of In-Service Education on 09/24/2025

on 10/15/25 at 1:35PM, Resident #1 was asleep in a recliner inside the resident's room. The urine
collection bag was hooked on the armrest of the recliner which was at a level above Resident #1's bladder.
In an interview and observation on 10/15/25 at 1:35 PM, LVN B stated the urine collection bag was higher
than Resident #1's bladder and it should not be at or above the bladder d/t risk of infection as the urine
could back up into the bladder. LVN B stated Resident #1 was being treated for a UTI. LVN B repositioned
the urine collection bag below the level of the bladder.In an interview on 10/15/25 at 1:45PM, CNA A stated
she and another CNA transferred Resident #1 from the bed to the recliner at 10:15 AM and said the
collection bag should be below the bladder. CNA A stated the risk would be infection. CNA A asked the
surveyor if she left the bag in the wrong place. CNA A stated she was rushing to get to another resident
after transferring Resident #1.In an interview on 10/15/25 at 1:57 PM, the DON stated urinary collection
bags should be below the level of the bladder for drainage and the risks were infection such as UTI. The
DON stated Resident #1 gets UTI's frequently due to refusals of care. The DON stated the CNA's were
responsible to ensure the urine collection bag was placed properly.Record review of the facility policy for
