F-F689 Accidents -Elopement policy revised August 2024 recorded a definition of elopement as follows: A situation in which a resident leaves the premises or a safe area without the facility's knowledge or supervision if necessary and this situation represents a risk to the resident's health and safety and places the resident at risk of heat or cold exposure, dehydration and/or other medical complications, drowning or being struck by a motor vehicle. The policy recorded all residents would be assessed for elopement risk status and at-risk residents, would be care planned with interventions to address wandering and/or exit-seeking behaviors. This policy noted that at-risk residents would be monitored by staff supervision. This policy further recorded a resident with decision-making capacity, leaving the facility intentionally is considered an elopement if the facility is unaware of the resident's departure and/or whereabouts. The policy further recorded that new wandering behavior or attempted elopement would be documented in the nurses' notes and the resident's care plan would be updated to include increased monitoring.

The facility failed to provide adequate supervision and appropriate interventions to prevent Resident R1, who was diagnosed with psychiatric illness and identified, as at risk for elopement, from exiting the facility without staff awareness. For approximately 45 minutes facility staff did not know Resident R1 was missing in freezing weather until law enforcement returned Resident R1 to the facility. This deficient practice placed Resident R1 in immediate jeopardy for potentially life-threatening injury.

On 01/29/25 at 03:21 PM, Administrative Staff A was provided a copy of the Immediate Jeopardy Template and informed of the facility's failure to provide adequate supervision and appropriate interventions to prevent Resident R1 from elopement, placed Resident R1 in immediate jeopardy.
