There were two other residents at the facility (Resident #2 and #3) who were at a high risk for elopement with no interventions to prevent the elopement. Intervention's not put in place include but are not limited to: Redirecting, placing on a one on one once staff has seen a behavior change until assist, and or talking to. This failure resulted in an identification of an (IJ) Immediate Jeopardy on July 22, 2025, at 08:25pm. The IJ Immediate Jeopardy template was provided to the ADM on July 22, 202 at 08:25pm. While the (IJ) Immediate Jeopardy was removed on July 23, 2025, at 3:45pm, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolate and severity level scope of isolate and severity level of no actual harm because all staff had not been trained on elopement.This deficient practice could place residents at risk of elopements that could result in serious injury and death.Findings included: Resident #1A record review of Resident #1's face-sheet updated, reflected that he was a [AGE] year-old man admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a readmission on [DATE].
