Magnolia Manor - Greenwood: Immediate Jeopardy - SC
The resident left the facility at 6:21 PM, prompting administrators to initiate a "CODE WHITE" emergency response. Staff located the person six minutes later and transported them by ambulance to Self Regional Healthcare's emergency room for evaluation.
Federal inspectors arrived the same evening to investigate. The facility operates a wander guard system designed to sound alarms when residents at risk of wandering approach exit doors, but the system did not prevent this escape.
Nine residents currently wear wander guard devices at the facility. Maintenance logs show the electronic monitoring system underwent multiple inspections following the incident, with staff testing spare devices near exit doors on December 18, 22, 23, 24, 29, and 30.
The facility's administrator attempted to contact the escaped resident's responsible party but could not reach them or leave a voicemail because the phone system had not been set up.
An emergency quality assurance meeting convened December 15, attended by the medical director, administrators, nursing staff, and department supervisors. The medical director received notification of the incident on December 13 and again on December 18.
Inspectors observed the exit door system functioning on December 30, confirming alarms sounded loudly when wander guard devices came within proximity and doors remained locked.
The facility implemented new protocols requiring daily review of new admissions for elopement risk and weekly audits of wander guard observations. Two residents admitted between December 23 and 30 showed no exit-seeking behaviors, according to facility assessments.
Staff will receive additional training on determining causes when wander guard alarms sound.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued.
