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 observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to, in response to allegations of abuse or neglect, ensure that all alleged violations involving abuse, neglect, exploitation or mistreatment, were reported immediately, not later than 24 hours if the events that cause the allegation did not involve abuse and did not result in serious bodily injury, to the administrator of the facility and to other officials (including to the State Survey Agency) in accordance with State law through established procedures for one (Resident #1) of five residents reviewed for reporting of abuse. The facility failed to report to the State Survey Agency the elopement of Resident #1 during July of 2025. This failure could place residents at risk for unresolved or future abuse or neglect.Findings included: Review of Resident #1's Face Sheet reflected she was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected diagnoses including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (condition caused by damage to the lungs), coronary artery disease (disease caused by buildup of plaque in the arteries of the heart), anxiety disorder, and Depression. A BIMS score of 10 was reflected, indicating moderate cognitive impairment. Resident #1 scored 0 on wandering behaviors, which indicated the behavior was not exhibited. Review of Resident #1's Care Plan with start date 6/13/25 reflected Resident #1 had a focus of elopement risk r/t history of attempts to leave the facility unattended, and with impaired safety awareness with date initiated 9/09/24 and revised solely on 12/24/24. In an interview on 8/05/25 at 12:41 pm, CNA A stated that approximately two weeks prior (exact date unknown), Resident #1 had climbed out of a window on the female locked unit. She stated that she saw Resident #1's wheelchair sitting empty by an open window and had notified LVN B. She reported staff searched the unit and then the property, but that Resident #1 was not located, and staff began using their vehicles to search the community. She stated she found Resident #1 coming out of an auto parts store, the property adjacent to the facility, and escorted her back to the facility. She stated that the ADM arrived a short while later and threatened the jobs of staff if they were to say anything about the incident to anyone. In a telephone interview on 8/05/25 at 4:00 pm, LVN B stated about two weeks ago (exact date unknown), she was notified by CNA A that Resident #1 had gone out a window on the female locked unit. She stated that Resident #1 was not found at the facility but that she was returned to the facility by CNA A who reported that Resident #1 had been found at a nearby auto parts store. She stated she assessed Resident #1 upon her return to the facility and that she did not have any injuries. She stated that she called and notified the ADM and that he arrived approximately thirty minutes later and fixed the window that Resident #1 had kicked out. She stated she did not chart the elopement or her injury assessment because she was told by the ADM that he had to do an investigation, and he would take care of it. In an interview on 8/05/25 at 1:30 PM LVN C stated while working the evening shift approximately two weeks ago (exact date unknown) she was notified by CNA A that Resident #1 had gone out of a window on the female (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

She stated that staff were free to report any incidents without fear of retaliation and she had not received any complaints of staff being fearful of retaliation. The DON stated that all staff had received training on elopement and actions to take. She reported that part of the training included that the staff would notify the Administrator of an elopement incident.

In an interview on 8/09/25 at 2:26 pm, the ADM reported that he and the DON received training on 8/09/25 by the regional LNFA COO who went over all the trainings that they were to provide to staff, the plan of removal, and reportable guidelines and investigation. The ADM reported he will report all reportable events immediately to the LNFA COO for investigation oversight, and if the COO is out of office, he will notify the CEO. He reported that as an Administrator he plans to talk to the staff more thoroughly and watch how he is talking to staff as something that was meant as a precautionary statement had been taken as a threat. He stated he intended to make sure that documentation is thorough. The ADM reported that this was IJ as the resident was at risk due to possible elopement that wasn't reported in a correct or timely manner and there was an allegation that the Administrator threatened retaliation against staff for documenting and reporting. In an interview on 8/09/25 at 4:17 PM the DON stated that she and the ADM had received training from corporate on all training involved in the plan of care and all the in-service trainings that they were to provide to the staff. She stated that she feels the reeducation of staff on all the topics will make a difference and that now the corporate number has been made available to staff. The DON stated that this situation was an IJ because there was an allegation of an elopement that was not processed or addressed, and it was an IJ because the situation presented a risk. She reported she will be questioning staff regarding elopements during clinical meetings going forward and will be monitoring to ensure that any PRN staff who have not received the appropriate training are not allowed to work. On 8/09/25 at 2:46 pm the ADM was notified the IJ was removed. However, the facility remained out of compliance at a severity level of no actual harm with the potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy with a scope of isolated due to the facility's need to evaluate their corrective actions.
