The inspection was conducted due to a complaint investigation regarding the facility's failure to provide adequate supervision and environmental safeguards to prevent elopement of a resident (#105), which placed the resident at risk for serious injury, exposure to traffic injury, abduction, and death.
Complaint Details
The complaint investigation revealed that Resident #105 eloped from the facility on October 26, 2025, was found outside near a convenience store, and was returned safely. The resident had no prior history of elopement. The investigation included staff interviews, record reviews, and observation of the emergency exit door alarm system. The resident was assessed as moderate risk for wandering but no elopement risk assessment was completed prior to the incident. The facility implemented one-on-one observation and relocated the resident's room closer to the nurse station after the incident.

The resident was assessed as moderate risk for wandering but no prior elopement risk assessment was available before the incident. The emergency exit door alarm system was found to be insufficient as the door could be opened without a key card after the alarm sounded.
