This survey cited 2 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper authorities. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that all alleged violations involving abuse, neglect or exploitation were reported no later than 24 hours if the events that cause the allegation do not involve abuse and do not result in serious bodily injury to the State Survey Agency where state law provides for jurisdiction in long-term care facilities in accordance with State law through established procedures for 1 of 2 residents (Resident #1), reviewed for freedom from abuse, neglect, and exploitation.The facility failed to report to the State Survey Agency (HHSC) an incident that occurred on 11/27/25 in which Resident #1 was returned to the facility by a police officer. Resident #1 had been driving around town in his own vehicle and did not know his way back to the facility. This failure could place residents at risk for abuse/neglect and could lead to a diminished quality of life and physical harm. Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 12/29/2025, revealed a [AGE] year old male admitted into the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (a progressive brain disorder and the most common cause of dementia, characterized by gradual memory loss, impaired thinking, and behavioral changes that worsen over time, eventually affecting daily activities), Type 2 diabetes (a chronic condition where the body either doesn't make enough insulin or doesn't use insulin effectively leading to high blood sugar levels), unspecified protein calorie malnutrition (a nutritional deficiency from not getting enough protein and calories), and hypertension (a common condition where the force of blood against your artery walls is consistently too high, making your heart work harder and increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other serious problems). Record review of Resident #1's BIMS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a score of 8 which indicated moderately impaired cognition. Record review of progress note dated 11/27/2025 time stamped 7:45 p.m., revealed Resident #1 returned to the facility from being out on pass. Resident #1 arrived via wheelchair accompanied by an officer from a local police department. Per the police officer, Resident #1 was driving his truck around and got lost. Per Resident #1, he did not know his way back to facility. Resident #1's RP was made aware of the incident and was informed the resident's truck needed to be picked up from the location where Resident #1 was picked up from by the officer. Record review of Resident #1's care plan revised on 11/27/2025, revealed Resident #1 was unable to return to facility without assistance due to forgetfulness and intermittent cognition; removed keys and kept with nurse, administer medications as ordered, monitor behavior episodes and attempt to determine underlining cause, and provide a program of activities. During an interview on 12/29/2025 at 9:24 a.m., Resident #1 did not recall the incident of driving and being returned to the facility by a police officer. During an interview on 12/29/2025 at 11:44 a.m., Resident #1's RP stated she received a call on 11/27/2025 from a police officer. The police officer said he had Resident #1. Resident #1 had been driving his truck around and was lost. Resident #1 could not remember how to return to the facility.

During an interview on 12/30/2025 at 8:50 a.m. the DON stated she did not notify the Administrator that Resident #1 was brought back to the facility by a police officer. The DON stated the Administrator was out on vacation and did not want to bother her.

The administrator stated that it was best that Resident #1 did not have a vehicle on premises because Resident #1 could hurt himself or others while driving. Resident #1 could become confused and cause an accident. Record review of TULIP (Texas Unified Licensure Information Portal) did not reflect a facility reported incident that corresponded to the allegations in the incident described above. TULIP is a web-based program used by facilities to report incidents involving residents. HHSC then takes that information and performs an investigation into those incidents reported. Record review of facility policy titled, Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation dated 8/15/22, revealed:VII. Reporting/Response1.
