resident 2 had been found outside in front of the building; she was unsure how he had gotten there. DON B explained that it had been determined that resident 2's WanderGuard needed to be on his left ankle when worn on his lower legs to activate the alarm.*They expected that the staff members would have signed residents out in the binder at the nurses' station and entered the door code to allow residents to access the patio, and that residents would be signed back in, in that same binder, to track who was out on the patio.-Most residents did not require a staff member to remain on the patio with them unless it had been determined that they were unsafe to be on the patio unsupervised, and they had a WanderGuard. A staff member would supervise a resident with a WanderGuard when they were out on the patio.*They expected that residents assessed to be safe to leave the facility independently would sign out in the sign-out book and be allowed to exit the facility through the main entrance doors. All other residents would be signed out and then supervised by a family member or staff member when leaving the facility through the main entrance doors. Review of the provider's updated February 2025 Elopement/Wandering policy revealed:*Elopement: The resident/patient exits the Center without staff knowledge OR the resident/patient enters an unsafe area without staff knowledge or presence.*A resident exits the front door without staff knowledge or presence. This is elopement.*A resident with substance use disorder, leaves the premises without signing out or doesn't let staff know they are leaving. This is an SUD [substance use disorder] elopement.*Based on the result of the Elopement/Exit seeking Evaluation, care plan interventions to manage wandering and/or exit seeking behaviors are initiated/implemented.
