On 02/25/2025, the Surveyor reviewed the statements obtained from staff during the investigation.
According to the receptionist's statement dated 2/11/2025, Around 10:00 pm, the [nursing supervisor] asked if I've seen [Resident #1] return from Dialysis. I checked my log, and her time in was blank, indicating she didn't return. Sometimes, I have to step away from the desk to either use the bathroom, let someone from Memory Care, or find a nurse . so I thought [driver's name] came and brought her to the room. I didn't see so I called him to confirm around 10:08 pm, and he said yes, he had brought her to her room, so I told [nursing supervisor], and she told me [Resident #1's name] was missing. We proceed to look through the building for her, and around 10:39 pm, [the nursing supervisor] finds her in the [facility name] transport bus.
On 02/25/2025 at 1:35 pm, the Surveyor interviewed the Licensed Nursing Home Administrator (LNHA). The LNHA stated the van is owned by the facility and had been used until after the incident and would not use it until after safety measures were installed. LNHA further stated she reviewed the incident and video footage; immediate actions were taken to prevent recurrence, and the policy on transportation and tracker log were revised.
On 02/26/2025 at 12:47 pm, the Surveyor interviewed the van driver via phone. The van driver stated that, at around 4:30 pm, he had picked up the Resident from the dialysis center. The van driver further stated, She/
He was in her wheelchair, put her in the vestibule, put on her/ his seatbelt, and she was fine and did not complain of any pain or discomfort. At 5:00 pm, we arrived at the facility parking lot; I parked the van where I normally parked. I exited the van and walked to the rear of the building. In my mind, I wanted to go back to
the building to finish some work. When the Supervisor called me that night, it was shocking to me. I was emotional. I drove her [the Resident] on several occasions, and I think I was not focused at that time.
On 02/26/2025 at 1:27 pm, the Surveyor placed a call to LPN #1 but did not receive a return call.

Further review of the resident's CP revealed a Focus, initiated on 10/17/2024, that the resident was resistive to turning and positioning.
A review of Resident #6's Documentation Survey Report (DSR) and progress notes (PNs) for the months of October and November 2024 revealed no documentation to indicate that the resident's activity of daily living (ADL) care was provided, or that the resident refused care on the following dates and times:
