the farm and who was going to take care of it. She stated the resident had been distraught about it and she
believed he had started trying to figure out how to get back to the farm. She stated Resident #12 was
discharged from the hospital to a facility with a secure unit. She stated he had not eloped before.
During an interview on 09/11/2025 at 9:55 AM, the DON stated Resident #12 rarely left his room except to
get coffee. He stated the resident sat in the recliner in his room. The DON stated about two weeks prior to
the elopement on 07/13/2025, Resident #12 went out the front door of the facility with visitors. He stated
staff immediately followed after him and the resident refused to come back into the facility. He stated he
called the resident's family member who reported telling the resident his family was going out of town and
would not be coming to the facility to see him. The family member stated the resident asked who was taking
care of the farm and he was reminded he had sold it years prior. The DON stated the family member spoke
with the resident on the phone and coaxed him to go back inside the building. The DON stated he felt like it
was an isolated incident and the family member stated the resident would not be told in the future when
family members were going out of town. The DON stated the resident was placed on 1:1 monitoring for 24
hours and evaluated to ensure the resident was not displaying exit seeking behavior. He stated the
physician ordered labs and a urinalysis. He stated the facility changed the door code, referred the resident
to psych services, and updated his care plan. The DON stated about two weeks later, on 07/13/2025 at
about 2:30 PM, a family member called the facility and asked for staff to check the Resident #12's restroom
to see if he needed help because they did not see Resident #12 on the camera in his room. The DON
stated the resident could not be located inside or outside the building and the police were called. He stated
the resident was located a couple of hours from the time the resident was noticed missing. He stated the
resident was located not far from the facility by the train tracks. The DON stated he went to the emergency
room to check on the resident and was told the resident was intubated and being treated for hyperthermia
(elevated body temperature). He stated the resident was extubated the following day. The DON stated he
notified family the resident would not be able to return because the facility did not have a locked unit for
males. He stated Resident #12 discharged from the hospital to another facility with a memory care unit. The
DON stated all residents had a risk assessment for elopement on admission, quarterly, and as needed. He
stated after the elopement on 07/13/2025, a risk assessment was completed for all residents in the building
and staff received in-service training on monitoring for exit-seeking behaviors and what to do if alerted of an
elopement. The DON stated no residents in the facility had a wander guard. He stated no other residents'
assessment indicated a high risk for elopement. He stated the only residents who triggered high risk for
elopement were located in the memory care unit. The DON stated staff had also participated in weekly
elopement drills since the incident. He stated all exit doors were inspected daily to ensure each door
functioned properly, the door access codes were changed, and signs were posted at all exits in English and
Spanish notifying visitors to ensure residents did not exit and were given the door code. He stated any
female resident identified with exit seeking behavior or was at risk for elopement was transferred to the
memory care unit and males displaying exit seeking behavior were transferred to a facility with a memory
unit for male residents. The DON stated during the day, when the receptionist was at the front desk, the
front door was unlocked. He stated when she went to break or left at the end of the day, the front door was
locked and to enter or exit required entering a code on the keypad. He stated the facility had also employed
a receptionist on weekends to monitor the front door.
During an interview on 09/11/2025 at 10:20 AM, the Administrator stated she was not at the facility at the
time of the elopement but the facility provided in-service training and had weekly elopement drills with staff

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure that residents, who needed
respiratory care, were provided such care consistent with professional standards of practice, the
comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents' goals and preferences for one of three
residents (Resident #11) reviewed for respiratory care. The facility failed to ensure Resident 11's oxygen
mask was properly stored in a bag when not in use on 09/11/25. This failure could place the residents at
risk for respiratory infection and not having their respiratory needs met.Findings include: Record review of
Resident #11's Face Sheet, dated 09/11/25, reflected he was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility
on [DATE]. Relevant diagnoses included Acute Respiratory Failure (lack of oxygen) and Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease (lung disease). Record review of Resident #11's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated
9/02/25, reflected he had a BIMS score of 12 (moderate cognitive impairment). For ADL care, it reflected
the resident required total assistance and it reflected an active diagnosis of cardiorespiratory conditions.
Record review of Resident #11's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 3/16/2025, reflected the resident had
COPD and one of the interventions was to provide oxygen therapy to the resident as needed. Record
Review of Resident #11's Physician Orders, dated 9/11/25, reflected Ipratropium-Albuterol Inhalation
Solution 0.5-2.5 MG/3ML inhale orallyevery 12 hours as needed for Bronchi muscle spasm resulting from
COPD An observation on 09/11/25 at 12:43 PM, revealed Resident #11's oxygen mask unbagged, sitting
on the top of a three-drawer chest. In an interview and observation on 09/11/25 at 12:45 PM, RN M stated
Resident #11 used his oxygen device on an as needed basis. She stated she did not know when the last
time he had used the device. She stated when the breathing device was not in use, the breathing mask
should be stored in a plastic bag to avoid an infection. She stated she would discard the mask and get the
resident a new one. In an interview on 09/11/25 at 12:59 PM with ADON L, she stated Resident #11 did
have a device for breathing treatments on an as needed basis. She was advised of Resident #11 not having
his mask bagged and she stated that the mask should be removed or bagged when not in use to avoid an
infection. In an interview on 09/11/25 at 4:12 PM, the DON stated he had been at the facility for seven
months. He was advised of Resident #11 being observed with an oxygen mask, unbagged while not in use.
He stated he expected staff to remove the mask and then replace with a new one if needed or the mask
should be bagged to avoid the resident getting an infection. Review of the facility's policy Oxygen
Administration, undated, reflected Oxygen therapy includes the administration of oxygen (O2) in
liters/minute by cannula or face mask to treat hypoxic conditions caused by pulmonary or cardiac diseases.
The resident will maintain oxygenation with safe and effective delivery of prescribed oxygen. The resident
will be free from infection.
