pictures in it. She stated that she does not know if any list or any information where residents who were an
elopement risk was located. Receptionist G stated she was not aware of any residents who were an
elopement risk. Receptionist G stated that she was unsure if residents signed out of the facility unless she

nurses station when they left the facility. The ADM stated the nurse was responsible for ensuring the
resident had signed out. The ADM stated that the nurse does not typically let the receptionist know the

could not go out by themselves because they were not a locked facility. The ADM stated that the facility kept
an elopement binder because there were residents who were confused. She stated they did not exit seek
but they were confused. The ADM stated she was unable to say the level of confusion Resident #1 was
prior to the elopement as she had started to deteriorate. The ADM stated that Receptionist G was educated
on elopement and she was educated on the elopement binder and the policy and procedure. The ADM
stated she [Receptionist G] did everything right. The ADM stated that Receptionist G just did not know the
resident and the families. The ADM stated that BOM came in and educated Receptionist G on the day the
elopement happened and believed it was documented. The ADM stated she was not sure it was
documented on the elopement in-service.

Receptionist G and Receptionist E and this included to check the elopement binder and stated that they
were to check with every resident going on if they checked out before the left the facility. The BOM stated
Receptionist G and Receptionist E were supposed to ask the resident if they checked out with the nurse
even if they were walking with family and stated they did double check with the nurse that the resident was
signed out. The BOM stated that even if the family stated they checked out, they do have to double check.
The BOM stated that residents should not go out the door alone and should be with someone. The BOM
stated that the information reviewed with the receptionists included elopement procedure and explained
that residents in the binder were at risk for leaving the facility.
During an interview on 03/17/2025 3:57 PM, the MD stated that he was not under the impression that
Resident #1 was approved to go out on pass on her own. He stated that the last time her personally saw
Resident #1 was in December 2024 and he would not say Resident #1 had the capacity to leave the facility
by herself based on what he documented at the point in time. The MD stated to the best of his knowledge it
looked like that probably would not have been something he would have endorsed.
During a telephone interview on 03/17/2025 at 4:22 PM, the DON stated that when Resident #1 attempted
to elope on 02/06/2025 she was added to the elopement binder and she was placed on 15 minute checks
daily until she discharged from the facility. The DON stated that Resident #1's hospice company assisted
with providing a 1:1 sitter. The DON stated that Resident #1 was not exit-seeking when she first admitted to
the facility. The DON stated that the purpose of the elopement binder was so that facility can see what the
resident looks like and to know what residents may try to get out and to have extra eyes on those residents.

Elopement Policy and how to identify residents at high risk for eloping. Staff stated the training emphasized
being vigilant about all residents who might try to elope, that each nurse's station had an updated
elopement risk binder for tracking these residents at risk for elopement along with information available at
the front desk. Staff stated they were encouraged to question any resident observed near exit doors as part
of this awareness of elopement.
Nursing staff stated during the in-service part of their training included understanding what steps needed to
be taken when a resident was flagged as potentially high risk for elopement to ensure staff knew if there
was a new entry in the elopement binder. Nursing staff stated that the assessment process was also
discussed; and stated it involved determining whether a resident was high risk for elopement from behavior
patterns documented during reviews of medical records. If residents were deemed not an elopement risk,
staff checked do not proceed which meant no further action is needed. If a resident were deemed not an
elopement risk, staff checked proceed and would notify charge nurse and it would be documented on the
24-hour report which was reviewed daily by the DON.
Staff stated that a QAPI meeting was held, and staff discussed solutions regarding the plan of removal. The
DON stated she reviewed past evaluations over 90 days concerning current residents identified as having
high risk for elopement while confirming necessary interventions were incorporated into care plans- which
included making sure those individuals were listed correctly within the Elopement Binder. DON stated she
received training focused not only on accidents but also incidents of elopement and maintaining accurate
documentation around residents at risk for elopement and nursing needs to ensure proper protocol was
followed when resident left the facility temporarily. DON stated that staff was supposed to ensure
responsible parties have signed out their loved ones properly upon departure. DON stated that going
forward daily checks would involve random conversations between her and two other staff members who
focused to reinforce knowledge about high-risk elopement residents and kept track through clinical morning
reports highlighted existing documentation relevant towards identifying residents exhibiting exit seeking
behaviors.
The ADM was notified on 03/18/2025 at 6:09 PM that the IJ had been removed. While the IJ was removed,
the facility remained out of compliance at a level of no actual harm that was not immediate jeopardy at a
scope of isolated due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
