Inspection Findings

FF0600
Freedom from Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation Deficiencies
Potential for More Than Minimal Harm

During an interview on 9/9/25 at 2:23 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated Resident C had metabolic encephalopathy and struggled to form new memories. He continually asked about his car and when it would be returned from the shop so he could go home.

She had not known him to attempt to exit the facility in the past.

The July assessment for risk of elopement was not accurate because he had a cognitive deficit and a history of substance abuse, and was able to move around independently in his wheelchair.

She, however, felt he was not an elopement risk.

Resident C had not been observed pushing on doors to exit the facility. A current facility policy, reviewed 11/19/24, titled, Area of Focus: Elopement, provided by the DON on 9/9/25 at 2:53 p.m., included the following: What Elopement occurs when a resident leaves the premises or a safe area without authorization .and/or any necessary supervision to do so How Upon completion of the other interdisciplinary team's admission and readmission assessments, the interdisciplinary team will review any additional unsafe wandering and/or elopement risk indicators and revise the resident's care plan as indicated.

The deficient practice was corrected by 9/8/25 prior to the start of the survey and was therefore past noncompliance.

The facility implemented a systemic plan that included re-assessment of residents in regard to elopement, staff education, visitor education, signs regarding not allowing residents to exit the building, and ongoing monitoring.

This citation relates to Intake 2611338. 3.1-45(a)(2)
