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 adequate supervision was provided to
prevent accidents for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for accidents.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility did not prevent Resident #1 who had a history of wandering from leaving the facility
unsupervised. On or about 07/28/2024, Resident #1 was found approximately 50 feet away from the
entrance of the facility around 4:00 AM.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 received adequate supervision to prevent elopement.
The facility failed to investigate resident #1's three separate elopements that occurred in July 2024, October
2024, and January 25, 2025.
The facility failed to put interventions in place to prevent Resident #1 from eloping.
This failure resulted in an identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) at 4:48 PM. on 01/30/2025. While the
IJ was removed on 01/31/2025, the facility remained out of compliance at a potential for more than minimal
harm with a scope identified as isolated due to the facility's need to complete in-service training and
evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
These failures could place residents at risk of accidents, injury, or death.
Findings included:
Record review of a face sheet dated 11/26/2024 indicated Resident #1 was [AGE] year-old female,
admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including transient cerebral ischemic attack (brief
blockage of blood flow to the brain), pain, dementia (degenerative brain disease - loss of memory,
language) and urinary tract infection.
Record review of the comprehensive MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 had a BIMS of 06 and was
severely cognitively impairment. Resident #1's MDS indicated wandering behavior was not exhibited.
Resident #1 required supervision for eating, maximal assistance for toileting, showering, dressing and
personal hygiene. Resident #1 required touching and supervision for ambulation and transfers.
Record review of the care plan dated 06/19/2024 indicated Resident #1 experienced wandering with the
interventions of clear pathways, avoid over stimulation and equipped with a device that alarms when
wanders.

go out of the door and then she walked out behind them. Resident #1's roommate said she had seen the
staff bring Resident #1 back to the room and put her to bed after she had been outside of the facility.
Resident #1's roommate stated she overheard staff talking to Resident #1, when she was returned to the
room. Resident #1's roommate said she was unable to recall the staff involved or the dates of those
incidents, but it was more than a month ago.
During a telephone interview on 01/28/2025 at 01:40 PM, Resident #1's family member stated they had not
received any calls from the facility regarding incidents of elopement or exiting seeking behaviors.
During an interview on 01/28/2025 at 03:36 PM, CNA A stated she had worked at the facility for over a
year. CNA A said she worked the 2 PM to 6 AM shift. CNA A said Resident #1 got out of the facility and was
found out in the grass by one of the kitchen aides when reporting to work between 4 AM or 5 AM. CNA A
said that the kitchen aide had told one of the nurses that a resident was laying on the ground in the grass
beside the parking lot when she entered the facility that morning. CNA A said she later saw LVN B assist
Resident #1 to her room. CNA A said Resident #1 had ambulated with her rollator back to her room. CNA A
said she always redirected a resident if they were too close to the doors. CNA A said if she had any
difficulty with redirecting or felt like the resident's safety was in jeopardy, she would immediately report to
the nurse. CNA A stated the nurses were responsible for the reports and notifying the family and doctor, but
all staff were responsible for the safety of the residents. CNA A said communicating the residents' needs
was very important, so the right care was given to the residents.
During an interview on 01/28/2025 at 09:00 PM, an anonymous staff member stated Resident #1 had a
significant change of condition on 07/29/2024, after it was reported she was found outside in the early
hours of 07/28/2024 by staff.
During a telephone interview on 01/29/2025 at 09:15 AM, the Transportation Aide stated she had
completed the wander guard checks daily with the remotes to the doors and 3 days weekly of the resident
at the doors. The Transportation Aide stated she took over checking the wander guard system sometime in
July 2024 when the facility received the new upgraded system. The Transportation Aide stated there had
been some issues when the upgraded system was installed because it would not stay programmed. The
Transportation Aide stated the issue with the wander guard system may have occurred in July 2024.
During an interview on 01/29/2025 at 09:45 AM, the Administrator stated he wanted to be clear that the
facility had not had any elopement incidents.
During an observation and interview on 01/29/2025 at 10:15 AM, the Maintenance Supervisor stated when
he checked the door alarms on the 200 hall, it alarmed when the door was opened but the alarm tuned off
within 1 minute prior to deactivating it. The Maintenance Supervisor stated it appeared the red metal box of
the alarm, which hung on the door, had been damaged, and he did not know how it was damaged. The
Maintenance Supervisor stated the system was not working correctly, and that could result in an
elopement. The Maintenance Supervisor said it could result in an elopement because the alarm could turn
off before the staff were alerted a resident went out, and the resident leaving would go unnoticed. The
Maintenance Supervisor stated the door alarm batteries are checked monthly.
During a telephone interview on 01/29/2025 at 10:50 AM, LVN E stated she worked at the facility as
needed. LVN E stated she had worked on 07/27/2024 on the 6 PM to 6 AM shift. LVN E stated around

4:30 AM - 5:00 AM, a female kitchen aide entered the facility and said, there was a resident outside lying in
the grass. LVN E stated she and a male CNA followed the kitchen aide approximately 50 yards outside of
the facility's entrance door to the left side of the building to Resident #1, who was lying in the grass. LVN E
stated Resident #1 was lying in a grass area between the sidewalk and parking lot with the rollator slightly
positioned on top of her. LVN E stated Resident #1 appeared confused but had no complaints of pain or
any visible injuries. LVN E stated she left the two staff members with Resident #1 and went inside the
facility to get LVN B. LVN E stated LVN B was Resident #1's nurse. LVN E stated she assisted LVN B and
the male CNA to get Resident #1 off from the ground and back into the facility. LVN E stated at the
beginning of her shift around 7:00 PM on 07/27/2024 , she had noted Resident #1 was in the hall. LVN E
stated LVN B reminded Resident #1 that she was COVID positive and walked Resident #1 back to her room
at that time. LVN E stated she could not identify the male CNA by name or the kitchen staff aide because it
was a large facility and she had only worked on an as needed basis. LVN E recalled that the male CNA
identified Resident #1 once they were outside. LVN E remembered the male CNA stated Resident #1 did
not reside on the hall he was working, and he was not familiar with her baseline status. LVN E stated
Resident #1 had on the wonder guard bracelet. LVN E stated no alarms had gone off in the facility. LVN E
said the alarms were very loud and noticeable. LVN E stated the nurses had a key and the key had to be
inserted and the code entered to turn the alarms off once activated. LVN E stated she offered to help LVN
B, but she declined her offer. LVN E stated it was important to document the incident in the resident's chart
and complete an incident report, as well as report the incident to the DON, family, and physician. LVN E
said the importance of following the protocol was for continuity of the resident's care. LVN E stated the
incident would need to be investigated to determine how the resident exited the facility, and new
interventions should be updated to be specific for that resident. LVN E stated she had not completed the
incident report regarding Resident #1 because LVN B stated she would take care of it.
During an interview on 01/29/2025 at 11:57 AM, Kitchen Aide C stated she had worked at the facility for
approximately three years. Kitchen Aide C stated she arrived at work on a Sunday around 5:00 AM when
Resident #1 was ambulating with a rollator on the sidewalk with staff members. Kitchen Aide C stated she
recognized Resident #1 from previously working the halls. Kitchen Aide C said that Kitchen Aide D told her
she had found Resident #1 out by the parking lot when she arrived at work. Kitchen Aide C could not
remember the exact date but recalled it was on a Sunday several months back.

requesting a call back. (Kitchen Aide D was no longer employed at the facility.)
During an interview on 01/29/2025 at 12:17 AM, the Administrator stated there are no recorded videos of
the facility. The Administrator stated the videos record over and over after a 24-hour period.
During an interview and observation on 01/29/2025 at 03:35 PM, the maintenance supervisor tripped the
alarm on hall 200 by opening the door. The alarm remained on until the key and code were entered
appropriately.

During an interview on 01/29/2025 at 07:35 PM, LVN B stated she had worked at the facility for 2 years on
the 6 PM to 6 AM shift. LVN B stated she had never had a resident leave out of the facility or exit seek. LVN
B stated the alarms may activate but the residents turned away from the door or she had redirect them to
another activity, but the residents had never gone outside of the facility. LVN B stated if a resident went
outside of the facility that would be considered an elopement. LVN B stated if a resident got outside the
facility that could result in serious harm even death due to being hit by a vehicle in the parking lot or the
roadway. LVN B stated if a resident left out of the facility or exhibited exit seeking behaviors, it would be
documented in the resident's chart, an incident report would be completed, and the family and physician
would be notified. LVN B stated the purpose of documenting incidents and notifications was so the
physician and the facility staff would know how to take care of the resident appropriately. LVN B said an
elopement should be reported to the DON for further investigation to prevent the situation from happening
again. LVN B stated Resident #1 had not exhibited exit seeking behaviors. LVN B stated Resident #1 had
not been outside the facility. LVN B denied any incidents of Resident #1 being outside of the facility for an
undetermined time or being found outside by the kitchen staff. LVN B denied she had assisted LVN E or
CNA F when Resident #1 was found outside in the parking lot. LVN B stated Resident #1 had never gone
outside of the facility without their knowledge. LVN B stated she had no idea why the other staff reported
her involvement with Resident #1 outside of the facility because she had no recollection of that situation.
LVN B stated that one time Resident #1 had gone outside the facility but only to the picnic table. LVN B
stated this incident had occurred in the month of October 2024 around the time she was doing morning
rounds at 6:00 AM. LVN B stated Resident #1 had used the door on hall 5 to exit the facility and had sat
down at the picnic table when she and the CNA reached her. LVN B said she and other staff had followed
see Resident #1 exit the building and had followed her out. LVN B stated she never lost sight of Resident #1
and she was approximately 10 steps away from the door on hall 5. LVN B stated CNA G had assisted her to
get Resident # 1 back into the building to her room. LVN B said she placed Resident #1 into her bed after
she changed her socks because they were covered in grass, washed the mud from her legs, combed out
Resident #1's hair because it was wet, and changed her gown because the bottom of it was soaked. LVN B
stated she had filled out an incident report and documented in Resident #1's chart and notified her doctor
and family member. LVN B was unable to locate the documented incident report or documentation in
Resident #1's chart regarding the incident. LVN B stated she may not have documented anything because
she was exhausted and needed to get home for sleep so she could return for the following night shift. LVN
B said Resident #1 was fine, so there was really not anything to report anyway.
During an interview on 01/29/2025 at 08:15 PM, CNA G stated he had not assisted LVN B with Resident #1
in changing her gown or socks after Resident #1 had been outside of the facility. LVN B stated he had no
information about that incident. CNA G stated he was not at work when that incident occurred. CNA G
stated that on Saturday, January 25th, 2025, Resident #1 had opened the door on hall 200 and had gone
out the door. CNA G stated that the alarms went off. CNA G said he saw Resident #1, LVN B, and LVN H at
the corner of the building about 5 steps outside the door leading Resident #1 back into the building. CNA G

Resident #1 back in the bed. CNA G said Resident #1 had not attempted to get out of bed during the 1:1
care. CNA G said he could not think of any times he had personally been involved with Resident #1 eloping.
During an observation and interview on 01/29/2025 at 08:35 PM, LVN B stated if CNA G was not who
helped her with Resident #1 when she sat at the picnic table back in October 2024, she could not
remember who had helped her. LVN B said she remembered Resident #1 at the corner of the building
approximately 5 steps outside the door, when LVN B and LVN H had guided Resident #1 back inside the
building. LVN B denied any 1:1 care provided by CNA G. LVN B stated Resident #1 was fine, and that
incident was not considered exit seeking behaviors or elopement because she had been able to redirect
Resident #1 and had never lost sight of Resident #1. LVN B stated Resident #1 was not hurt, and she was
fine. LVN B stated she was sure she had notified Resident #1's family but guessed she did not document it.
LVN B stated she should have documented the incident and notified the doctor and family. LVN B stated if
she had not reported and documented the events, the doctor would not know Resident #1 required a more
secured unit, which could cause potential harm to the resident. During an observation of the picnic table
located outside of hall 500 approximately 10 ft. from the door, LVN B agreed there was no grass in the area
only dirt and concrete.
During an interview on 01/29/2025 at 09:15 PM, LVN K stated she had worked at the facility for 3 years.
LVN K stated if a resident got outside the facility that would be considered an elopement. LVN K stated if a
resident eloped, after she ensured the resident was safe, she would complete the required incident report,
document in the resident's chart, notify the family, physician, and DON. LVN K stated it was important to
document and report exit seeking behaviors and elopements to protect the resident and provide the most
appropriate person-centered care to keep the residents safe. LVN K defined exit seeking behaviors as
going to the door repeatedly, fiddling with the door handles, and window locks and setting off the alarms.
LVN K defined elopement as requesting to go home, packing up their items, and getting out of the facility's
door. LVN K stated if a resident eloped, the resident could suffer from physical injuries, falls, or being hit by
car, or environmental injuries, heat or cold weather exposure. Therefore, reporting the incidents would
result in an investigation to figure out how to prevent another occurrence of that nature. LVN K stated all the
nurses at the facility regardless of shift, full- time or part time have a group chat for communication also.
LVN K stated she could not recall receiving information in the group chat regarding Resident #1 being out
of the building lying near the parking lot. LVN K said she worked on 7/27/2024 from 6 PM to 6 AM and was
the charge nurse. LVN K said she did remember Resident #1 exited the facility and was found lying near the
parking lot. LVN K said she vaguely recalled someone coming into the facility saying a resident was outside.
LVN K said she could not recall any more details.
During an interview on 01/29/2025 at 09:35 PM, CNA L stated she vaguely remembered someone had
reported a resident outside the facility around 5:00 AM or 6:00 AM. CNA L stated she immediately verified
that the residents on halls 100 and 400 were accounted for. She stated she had heard it was Resident #1,
but she had not seen it for herself. CNA L stated she was not for sure of when it occurred. CNA L stated
she could barely remember that incident. CNA L stated it was important to report to the charge nurse any
exit seeking behaviors. CNA L stated if an elopement occurred, always ensure resident safety, then notify
the nurse for assessments and reports to be completed. CNA L stated it was important to communicate the
residents' required care to protect the residents from harm.

a call back.
During an interview 01/30/2025 at 11:45 AM, the ADON stated there had not been any incidents of
elopement. The ADON stated if a resident attempted to leave or made the alarm go off those were
considered exit seeking behaviors. The ADON stated if a resident opened the door, and stepped outside
the facility that was considered elopement. The ADON stated both exit seeking behaviors and elopements
should be reported, documented, and the family and doctor should be notified. The ADON said this
communication helped ensure the safety and continuity of care. The care plan should be updated to
accurately reflect the needs of the residents so the staff can provide appropriate interventions. The ADON
stated Resident #1 wandered. The ADON stated she was not aware of any incidents involving exit seeking
behaviors or elopements with Resident #1.
During a telephone interview on 01/30/2025, the Medical Director stated that he nor his physician assistant
had been notified recently of any elopements from the facility or of Resident #1 exhibiting exit seeking
behaviors. The Medical Director stated he could not be for sure, but he thought he was notified of a resident
that got out of the facility on hall 5 but that had been several months ago. The Medical Director stated he
expected the facility staff to notify him of any types of elopements and of exit seeking behaviors. The
Medical Director stated he also expected appropriate incident reports and documentation to be completed
and investigated so that the residents' care plans could be updated to meet their needs. The Medical
Director stated without that vital information, the resident was at risk of injury and harm, and he could not
properly assess the residents' needs.
During an interview on 01/30/2025 at 03:45 PM, the Administrator defined elopement as a resident that
constantly asked and stated they wanted to go home - packing items, cannot be redirected, and she
realized she was coming back to the facility. The Administrator stated he need more education and had
some regrouping to do and stated the documentation should have been completed and reflected on the
reports and in Resident #1's chart. The Administrator stated he was never told that Resident #1 had
attempted to elope or exhibited exit seeking behaviors by attempting to leave out of the facility. The
Administrator stated he stayed at the facility from 9 AM to 5 PM daily and found it hard to believe the
reported incidents only occurred when LVN B was working. The Administrator stated he felt targeted by
staff that had been terminated. The Administrator stated LVN B had been terminated. The Administrator
stated Resident #1 was in the process of being transferred to a secure unit at this time. The Administrator
stated if an elopement occurred or a resident was exhibiting exit seeing behaviors, it was important to
properly document it, complete an incident report, start an investigation, and notify the family and the
physician to ensure the residents' safety.
An undated facility policy titled Nursing Policies and Procedures - Elopement/Missing Resident indicated:
.To safely and timely redirect patients/residents to a safe environment. A prompt investigation and search
will be conducted if a patient/resident is considered missing . (6) When the patient/resident is located, the
charge nurse completes a head-to-toe assessment. The Social Service Designee assess the
patient/resident for emotional distress
The Administrator was notified on 01/30/2025 at 04:48 PM that an Immediate Jeopardy situation was
identified due to the above failure. The Administrator was provided the Immediate Jeopardy template on
01/30/2025 at 04:53 PM.
