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. The RP stated she provided the police officer the phone number and

police officer said he was going to contact the facility to verify Resident #1 was a resident at the facility and
take the resident back. 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 DON stated that since Resident #1
was returned safe and with no injuries, she felt there was no need to notify the Administrator. During an
interview on 01/01/2026 at 3:00 p.m., the Administrator stated that on 11/17/2025, she was not notified
Resident #1 had been returned to the facility for being lost. The Administrator stated it was not until days
later that the DON mentioned the incident. The Administrator stated she felt she did not report the incident
to HHSC for the same reasons the DON did not notify her; Resident #1 had returned to the facility safely.
The Administrator said that on 12/06/2025, the HRC notified her that the resident had left the building in his
own vehicle. The Administrator initiated a code purple, the code used to notify staff there was a resident
missing. The Administrator said that at 6:45 p.m., she received a call from a nearby nursing facility reporting
they had Resident #1. The nearby facility was approximately 0.6 miles away. The Administrator said she
sent three staff members to bring Resident #1 back to the facility. One of the three staff members drove
Resident's truck back to the facility. The Administrator stated that Resident #1 had arrived at that other
facility because he was confused as to which facility he was a resident of. The Administrator stated that
Resident #1's RP had his truck picked up after the incident. 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. Reporting all alleged violations to the Administrator, state agency, adult
protective services and to all other required agencies (e.g., law enforcement when applicable) within
specified timeframes:b. Not later 24 hours if the events that cause the allegation do not involve abuse and
do not result in serious bodily injury.
