The primary role of the Administrator is to plan, direct and lead the day-to-day functions of the facility in accordance with current, federal, state, and local standards, guidelines, and regulations that govern skilled nursing facilities to ensure that residents are consistently receiving care and services in line with the company's vision of Care Beyond Care. The Job Description for
the Director of Nursing (DON) revised 05/2023, indicated The Director of Nursing is responsible for the overall management, supervision, and direction of the nursing services department. The DON implements and maintains nursing department goals and objectives, ensures compliance with current standards of nursing practice, company policy and procedure, as well as applicable federal, state, and local guidelines and regulations.

Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #20, assigned to the care of the resident, failed to ensure the facility's missing person protocol (Code Orange) was implemented as specified. Per facility documents, the Administrator was not made aware of the resident's elopement until 10:48 PM on 05/11/2025. The facility staff failed to notify the resident's responsible party that the resident was missing. On 05/11/2025 at 11:08 PM, the resident used their cell phone and called a family member and reported they were at a baseball game, cold, and needed to be picked up. The resident's responsible party then notified the facility staff of the resident's whereabouts, and the resident was returned to the facility by the local police and a staff member.

During an interview on 10/18/2025 at 3:54 PM, the Administrator stated from a review of the facility's investigation, LPN #20 enacted the Code Orange and no other staff were interviewed during the investigation of Resident #127's elopement from the facility.
