She stated it was after lunch, but she could not recall the time. She stated that she did not see Resident #1's family member leave the building. She stated that an elopement score of 10 or higher would indicate a resident was high risk. She stated that the elopement risk score should be done on admission and with any changes. She stated Resident #1 had no episodes of crying, restlessness, or behaviors. She stated that staff could look at the last elopement risk score or the care plan to know if a resident was at risk for wandering and elopement. She stated she did not check the care plan to know that Resident #1 was a risk for wandering and elopement. She stated that she should have checked the care plan for Resident #1. She stated that she did not know that Resident #1 was screened as a high-risk for elopement on her admission screening.

facility. She stated that he never took her outside. She stated it was probably less than an hour before she eloped was the last time she saw her. She had just admitted but Student CNA A did not know about any special monitoring prior to her elopement. She stated that her responsibilities for Resident #1's care included rounding on her every two hours and helping change her briefs when she was soiled. She stated that rounding on a resident meant to check them and their environment. She stated that she asked if residents were okay, tried to address any needs they might have. She stated she was expected to make sure there was not trash or fall hazards in the area, ensure that residents had water or other drinks available, and that they had their call light with them. She stated she did not think the facility had a sign-in sheet for visitors. In an interview with the DON on 11/06/2025 at 1:12PM, she stated that when a resident was admitted to the facility, a nurse did an initial assessment for elopement. She stated that Resident #1 was not a risk for elopement when she was first admitted to the facility. She stated that Resident #1 would not come out of her room after her admission. She stated that Resident #1's family member came to visit while her another family member was on vacation, and he was seen walking her around the building. She stated that on 10/22/2025 the family member walked her further than she had seen her walk in the building up to that point. She stated that a high risk for elopement score was over 10. She stated the risk assessment scoring was based on the ability of a resident to ambulate, and stated they would monitor them to see if they were walking near doors. She stated that if she had seen any exit seeking behavior the staff should increase monitoring and watch the resident's routine. She stated that Resident #1 was eating her meals in her room prior to 10/22/2025. She stated that it was her expectation that nursing staff watched Resident #1 for elopement during all her activities in the facility and keep communication between staff about her location. She stated that all residents were monitored on an every two hour schedule by the nursing staff, including Resident #1. She stated that if a resident had not attempted to elope or shown exit seeking behaviors, they stayed on an every two hour monitoring schedule. She stated that a resident had to have a high enough elopement risk score and show exit seeking behaviors for the facility to then do the secure care consult to assess a resident for the need for the secure unit. She stated that the facility did a teams meeting to do the secure unit assessment. It would be a combination of factors that would prompt the secure assessment. She stated that it was case by case as to what elopement score would necessitate further intervention for the elopement score. Interview with RNC on 11/06/2025 at 2:23PM, she stated that for a resident with a high risk score of 10 for elopement she would expect staff to monitor for exit seeking behavior and assess their capability to get out of the facility. She stated they would need more than a high risk score to know if they were a candidate for secure unit. They could keep them with every two hour monitoring without a reason to increase the monitoring schedule. She stated that when a resident screened for high risk for elopement, a care plan intervention was added automatically. She stated that staff should check the care plan to know if a resident was a risk for wandering or elopement. She stated that home wandering did not necessarily equate to a risk for elopement in the facility. She stated that when she viewed the video footage of Resident #1 exiting the front entrance on 10/22/2025, she looked like a visitor in the clothes she was wearing. She stated that after the incident the facility took the codes to the door away from everyone except staff. They changed door signage to make it more noticeable for visitors who might be complacent. It was changed from a sign with text only to a sign with a large red stop sign in the middle and the wording and formatting were adjusted. She stated that she did not recall seeing when Resident #1's family left the building on camera prior to the incident. She stated that the risk of allowing a resident to leave the facility was that they could get hurt. She stated that the

road in front of the building could be busy around 5PM. She stated that Resident #1 was gone over ten minutes to the best of her recollection. She stated the staff were not found to be neglectful in the investigation of the events. She stated there was not a sign in sheet that visitors were required to sign. She stated that she did not recall seeing when Resident #1's last visitor exited the front door. In a phone interview with Visitor B on 11/06/2025 at 2:51PM, he stated that he was visiting a resident at the facility on 10/22/2025. He stated that he had never seen Resident #1 in the facility prior to that day. He stated that he walked up to the door and put the code in. He stated that Resident #1 was at the door and looked like she was on her way out, so he opened the door. He stated that he thought they were just passing each other at the door. He stated that Resident #1 was well dressed. He stated that she smiled at him and asked how he was. He stated that she appeared to be steady on her feet with her walker. He denied observing any signs of distress or agitation in her demeanor. Observation on 11/07/2025 at 9:28AM revealed that in a seventeen minute time frame the road in front of the facility had regular car traffic with several semi-trucks traveling the street. In an interview with the DON on 11/07/2025 at 11:00 AM, she stated she was not aware of the actual
findings from the facility's investigation related to the elopement incident. She stated that, from the clinical perspective, all required assessments were completed and the resident was relocated to a secure unit following the incident. The DON stated her expectations of staff regarding elopement prevention and response were for staff to continuously monitor residents for changes in behavior, remain alert to any variations that may indicate risk of elopement, and intervene timely. She stated staff were expected to notify her, the Director of Nursing, the physician, or the nurse practitioner so that medical related issues related to exit seeking behavior or elopement could be ruled out. The DON stated that the process typically began with obtaining labs for the resident. She stated there were pictures of residents on all face sheets to help assist staff to know a resident from a visitor. The DON stated her expectation was that staff would ask appropriate questions to establish whether an individual resided in the facility or not. The DON stated that if a resident was allowed to leave the facility unsupervised it could result in physical injury, becoming lost, or, in the worst-case scenario, death. In an interview with the ADMIN on 11/07/2025 at 11:37AM, he stated that through his investigation he determined the resident had followed a visitor to the front door and a visitor allowed the resident to exit the facility. The Administrator stated he obtained a signed statement from the visitor, who apologized and explained that he was simply being polite in letting the resident out. He stated that he became aware of the incident when staff coming from the side door observed the resident on the sidewalk and immediately escorted her back into the facility. He stated his expectations of staff regarding elopement prevention and response, were that if staff did not recognize an individual, they are expected to verify with the charge nurse, the Director of Nursing, or himself before allowing anyone to exit the building. He stated that the risk to the resident when allowing them to leave the building unsupervised was they could sustain a possible injury, such as a fall, or other adverse outcomes. Record Review of the facility Elopement Policy (no date) reflected: Policy Statement Every effort will be made to prevent elopement episodes while maintaining the least restrictive environment for residents who are at risk for elopement. 1. The Elopement Risk Assessment will be completed upon admission. The assessment should be completed by reviewing the resident's medical history and social history. Information may be obtained by reviewing current medical records, if available, interview with resident/family, or conference with the interdisciplinary team member. The assessment tool should be completed, and interventions implemented as indicated. The Elopement Risk Assessment is to be completed at least quarterly and upon change of condition.2.
