This situation was identified as an immediate jeopardy. The Administrator was notified and presented with the immediate jeopardy template on [DATE] at 11:24 AM. The immediate jeopardy began on [DATE] and removed on [DATE]. The facility presented an acceptable removal plan on [DATE]. However, the deficiency remains out of compliance at the second level of harm until the facility evaluates the effectiveness of the removal plan. Findings Include: On [DATE] R2 was observed to be missing from the facility-by-facility staff. R2 was not found after a facility and community search was conducted by the facility. Per facility documentation the Chicago Police department was notified and participated in the community search. R2 was later identified at the Hospital after arriving via EMS (Emergency Medical Services) and admitted with a diagnosis of hypothermia.

On [DATE] at 12:59 PM V22 (Social Service Director) stated I did R2 assessment. R2 was not adjusting to placement here and this was new to R2. R2 told me I want to go home. R2 went in his roommate stuff one time. R2 told me that he had never been to a place like this before. By the paper R2 was considered an elopement risk but never went to the elevator and never packed his things. R2 triggered as an elopement risk because of the questions. Narrative of Investigation dated [DATE] documents: on Sunday [DATE]th at approximately 4:15 PM, it was noted R2 was missing from the facility.

ED (Emergency department) Triage Vitals Group Temp [DATE] 1903 (!) 89.6 °F (32 °C). Critical care was necessary to treat or prevent imminent or life-threatening deterioration of the following conditions: Cardiac failure and respiratory failure. During interview on [DATE] at 01:06 PM V46 (Primary Physician) stated I am aware of R2's elopement. It was a cold day and R2 went to the hospital with hypothermia. When asked by the surveyor how long it would take for a person to get hypothermia V46 stated I don't know because I don't know what R2 was wearing or R2 comorbidities. When asked by the surveyor if a person gets hypothermia can they go into cardiac arrest. V46 responded If a person gets hypothermia that could send them into cardiac arrest, that I do know. On [DATE] at 01:44 PM Per telephone interview V6 (R2 Family Member) stated V3 (Director of Nursing) called me at home and said I want to inform you that R2 left the facility. It was almost 06:00 PM. V3 said that R2 left out through the employee entrance. V6 never told me what time R2 left out. It was cold outside. I called some family members, and they went looking for R2. The police found R2 sitting on the curb. They found out that R2 was so cold that he coded when I was on my way to the hospital. It took the hospital 10 minutes to get R2 back. They said R2 had a heart attack because his body was 32 degrees, and his body did not know how to react. R2 was in the hospital for 2 weeks. During interview on [DATE] at 09:43 AM V3 (Director of Nursing) stated On [DATE] it was at about 02:50 when staff were doing their last rounds and noticed R2 was not there. They checked the floor and called the supervisor then called a code purple (to say a resident is missing). They called me and I came. They checked the floor and did a head count. When I came everything was in motion. I called 911 to report R2 missing then I called V6 (R2 Family Member) to let her know. V6 said that she was coming and came to the building. When she came to the building, I was waiting for the police to come. V6 called some family members and V6 left. When V6 was leaving the police pulled up, I gave them a description of R2 when the sergeant came to see what was going. The sergeant said I think I saw your guy, but I can't be for sure, but I saw the red shirt. The sergeant said let me call my squad and send them over to the hospital to see if that is your man. The squad went over there and radioed back to confirm that was R2. I called V6 and told her R2 was located at the hospital. The sergeant said R2 was found on 83rd and south shore. I don't know the exact locating some passer [NAME] called 911 that is what the sergeant said. I was writing things down as they happened, and my documentation is for the time stamp as things happened. It was approximate 3.5 - 4 hours that R2 was missing. In my book it was cold outside the day that R2 was missing. R2 only had a tee shirt, sweatpants, socks, and shoes on but no coat. In the morning on [DATE] it was 34 degrees, and, in the evening, it was 32 degrees outside. It was cold that is what possibly caused the hypothermia. In the [NAME] of all this not reporting this to the state was just an oversight on my part. I called the hospital, and they told me R2 was on a ventilator, R2 was cold, and they were treating R2 for hypothermia. When I called V6 she also told me R2 was on a vent and in ICU (Intensive Care unit). The alarms were low. R5 told the staff that your man (R2) went out the back door. The cameras do not record. R2 would lay in the bed and sleep all day. R2 had one aggressive moment with staff, and I had psych to see R2. On [DATE] The facility provided surveyor with a binder containing in service documentation: Record of In-Service Education Offering dated [DATE], [DATE], [DATE] documents in part: Summary of Presentation: 1. Code Purple for missing persons/Elopement. 2. Follow protocol of checking census/people on each floor and then search facility and grounds. 3. Notify Supervisor, Manager on Duty, or DON (Director of Nursing). If/when resident returns to facility staff must monitor 1:1. Record of In-Service Education Offering dated [DATE] and [DATE] documents in part: Summary of Presentation: Code Purple for Elopement/missing person. Elopement Book Front Desk - 1st floor - 2nd floor - 3rd floor - Therapy Office. Follow protocol check census, do rounds on floors and throughout the building. Notify Manager on Duty, DON, nursing supervisor. 1:1 monitoring if/when patient returns. Surveyor did not observe any documentation of the event being reported to Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). In servicing documentation also did not include reporting procedures to IDPH. On [DATE] at 2:15 PM V3 (Director of Nursing) stated R2 did not have a reportable for the elopement. We called a code and attempt to look for the resident, if we don't locate the resident, we call the family and search the facility. We also notify the police for a missing person at the beginning, the staff notify the administrator and director of nursing. On [DATE] at 03:18 PM V1 (Administrator) stated this incident was not reported to IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) to my knowledge. It was not reported because R2 was found. Usually, it would be the Director of Nursing in conjunction with the administrator that is responsible for reporting it. My expectations are to make sure the staff immediately check the surrounding area, listen to cues if alarm doors go off, check doors, check surroundings and report to the Director of Nursing who would report to me. I am aware R2 was admitted to the hospital with hypothermia. We do not have any video footage. R2 left the facility through the exit door at the basement level. That door is not typically used. That was the only alarm door that went off. The alarm is one of the things we changed. Staff have to put in a code to disarm the alarm. We changed all of the alarms and we put in what ever did not happen is happening now. We did not have codes on each of the floors prior to this incident. I was not here when the incident happened. There are drills in the binder and in services. On [DATE] at 12:18 PM V21 (Vice President of Operations) stated when we identified the noncompliance for the elopement the binder is to show that we are in compliance prior to (referring to me the surveyor) entering the building on yesterday [DATE]. We talked about the root cause analysis, and we took the steps to remedy the issue of a resident leaving the building. I was not here at the time of the elopement. I was made aware sometime on the evening that it occurred. I did not come to the building, and I don't remember when I came to the building. I consulted with V1 (Administrator) and V3 (Director of Nursing) over the phone. The elopement should have been reported to the state. I was not aware that it was not reported. I am just merely a consultant. It was a past noncompliance (the elopement that happened that day) for immediate jeopardy. That is what a past noncompliance is and we have a form in the binder (referring to document titled Elopement PNC documenting in part: Item, Action, Person, Target date and Progress). V21 stated PNC stands for Past noncompliance. We did it at the time of the incident. We fixed the noncompliance prior to anyone asking us to fix it. The binder was put together as a team. The alarm was working, and it was not obviously that loud at the time of the elopement. We enhanced the alarm system based on the events that occurred. On [DATE] at 01:10 PM V9 (Registered Nurse) stated I was R2's nurse. I did my rounds between 02:00 PM - 02:30 PM and R2 was in his room sleeping. At 02:55 PM I ask the aide to do the rounds and V12 (Certified Nurse Assistant) said that R2 was not in his room. When V12 told me, we all started looking for R2 in the building and outside. We did not find R2, and we had to alert management. When we started looking for R2 the whole building was alerted. I did not do any documentation. I had to call my Director of Nursing and she said that she would take care of it. My shift was over, and I had to leave for the day. This happened on [DATE]. They found R2 but I don't know specifically where he was found. V35 (Licensed Practical Nurse) relieved me. When surveyor asked V9 was R2 an elopement risk V9 responded Not that I know of. On [DATE] at 12:15 PM Per telephone interview V51 (Nurse Manager) stated I was there when R2 exited the facility. I was sitting at my desk on the desk 4th floor and got a call from V16 (Licensed Practical Nurse) that they could not find one of the residents, it was about 02:43 PM close to 03:00 PM. I called the Director of Nursing and began searching the facility. They had already begun searching for R2. Staff were driving the neighborhood in search of R2. I did not here any alarms. V9 (Registered Nurse) said the last time that she saw R2 in his room was at 02:15 PM. The certified nurse assistants were not sure the last time that they saw R2, but it was earlier that day. I am not sure who discovered R2 was not in his room. We did not find R2 in the building or neighborhood. We called hospitals and the police were notified by the director of nursing. The protocol if a resident is missing is to notify department heads, notify the director of nursing, search every room, make sure they check that all of their residents are accounted for, search the facility top to bottom and outside the facility. I received the in service for code purple, which is made over the intercom, take a census, look for the residents on the floor and notify department heads. If the resident is found we call an all clear, do 1:1 supervision and notify the doctor. There is an elopement book on each floor with the resident picture and care plan. I have been involved in the drills when I hear the alarm, I go into action like everybody else. On [DATE] at 02:30 PM V11 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated I was already gone when R2 left the facility. I was here that day, but I left early. Before I left between 9 AM and 10 AM R2 was here. R2 wandered the floor but not to leave the facility. R2's gait was steady enough to walk without a walker. I believe R2 was an elopement risk but not 100% sure. On that day they would only have had 2 certified nurse assistants because I went home. On [DATE] at 03:43 PM V28 (Environmental Service Director) stated I did not see when R2 left. The other staff looked for R2. I looked for R2 in the car. V28 walked with the surveyor to the north end of the basement then V28 stated this is the fire exit door. The delivery door is by the vending machines where we receive deliveries and take out the garbage. There is an emergency exit by the elevator. The alarm went off at the northwest door for 15 seconds. The southeast door is near the parking lot. I believe that R2 came all the way to the basement. The staff went room to room looking for R2. On [DATE] at 03:51 PM V29 (Maintenance Director) stated I was not here when R2 left the building. They called me and I came in. The exit door alarms go off and stays on until you enter a code. The alarm sounds at every nurse station. V29 walked to the first floor and north end of the facility basement. V29 opened the northwest exit door to demonstrate how the alarm is activated. On [DATE] at 04:21 PM Per telephone interview V12 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated I was there when R2 left the facility. I was doing my rounds at 02:55 PM and I did not see R2. I let the nurse know and they called a code purple. I was doing patient care about 02:30 PM. R2 was in the room and was able to walk. I saw R2 walking around earlier during the shift. It was two Certified Nurse Assistant and two nurses on the floor. Sometimes we may have more CNA' (Certified Nurse Assistants), sometimes there are call offs and we have to work with what we have. We looked for R2. I did not know R2 was an elopement risk. They call a code purple and search the facility. I did not hear any alarms going off because I had the door closed doing patient care. On [DATE] at 05:44 PM per telephone interview V13 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated I was there on [DATE] and there were 2 CNA's (Certified Nurse Assistant) on the floor because V11 (Certified Nurse Assistant) went home. I was asked to work the second floor because I usually work on the third floor. After doing last rounds we discovered that R2 was missing, and we let the nurse know. We searched everywhere. I drove the neighborhood and did not see R2. I did not hear any alarms because I was in a resident room with the door closed providing care. There is no way that we can supervise residents when we are giving patient care. They never found R2, and it was cold outside. Eight camera screens were observed behind the receptionist desk. The camera screen listed as C-4 was not operating. On [DATE] at 08:40 AM V30 (Office Manager) stated I don't work on the weekends and was not here when R2 eloped. V48 (Weekend Receptionist) works on the weekends. The gate on the west parking lot is always locked and we don't ever use it. V30 Stated that camera has been broken for a while. The camera with Camera C-1 is for the northwest of the building. The two cameras with Camera C-2 one is for the front door and the other is for the third floor. The two cameras with Camera C-3 one is for the first floor and the other is for the third floor. On [DATE] at 08:48 AM V2 (Business Office Manager/Assistant Administrator) stated the alarm system has been upgraded. We watch the parking lot, hallway, and main entrance. The cameras are recording over what was on there. On [DATE] at 09:12 AM V18 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated I work on the 3rd floor. I saw the second-floor nurse then the supervisor said to check all the rooms. I did not hear the alarm go off. It was towards 03:00 pm. On [DATE] at 09:15 AM V17 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated When R2 eloped, it was on a Sunday. I worked on the third floor when we heard the code purple, we had to start searching all the rooms. I did not hear the alarm go off. The nurses from the second floor were on the third floor to start searching the floor. It was after lunch, and it was supposed to be three Certified Nurse Assistants on that floor. V13 (Certified Nurse Assistant) was looking for R2 also but we did not find R2. I looked in the basement, laundry and did not find R2. When someone go out of the exit doors the alarm sound. On the third floor there was no alarm. Most of the residents know how to stop the alarm. On [DATE] at 09:32 AM V9 (Registered Nurse) stated I did not hear the alarm because that would have alerted me that something was going on. I am aware that R2 ended up in the hospital with hypothermia. The last time I saw R2 he had a tee shirt, pajama bottoms and socks on. R2 gait was a little wobbly but R2 did not use any assistive devices. I did my last rounds around 02:00 PM - 2:30 PM and R2 was sleeping. It is possible R2 left the facility after I did my rounds. I never saw R2 walk the stairs. R2 gait is not bad enough for him not to be able to walk the stairs. On the door at the end of the hallway there is no code, it is a little alarm that is audible enough and sometimes it is heard at the nurse station. Once the door closes the alarm goes off. On [DATE] at 09:43 AM R7 stated we (R7) and (R2) were watching the bears game on Sunday [DATE] and R2 walked out of the back door. It was about half time around 02:00 when R2 left. I saw R2 wander in other people rooms and R2 tried to leave before. They have alarms on all the doors. I heard the alarm 2-3 minutes, but it goes off. As soon as they change the door code the staff do it in the open and the residents see the code anyway. On [DATE] 09:57 AM R5 stated R2 would come out of his room and go down the back stairs. The alarm would alarm when you open the door but when the door closes the alarm go off. I was watching the bears game on Sunday [DATE] and it was about 15 minutes before the shift got ready to change. R2 timed that just right. R2 is the only one that did that. R2 would wander the floor and go in other resident rooms. I did not hear any other alarm. On [DATE] at 10:05 AM V16 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated I was working the day that R2 eloped. They did the elopement code purple and staff started searching the building. R2 nurse said R2 is not in the room, and we started searching the floor to make sure R2 did not go into another resident room. I did not hear any alarms go off. If I hear an alarm, I will get up and check. On [DATE] at 10:18 AM V14 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated I was here when R2 eloped, but I was on break and was in my car. I did not know what was going on. When I came back in from my break, they were searching the building. I never saw R2. I leave at 3:00 PM and I did not hear alarms going off. On [DATE] at 10:31 AM V15 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated I was here when R2 eloped, and I was on the 1st floor. The staff were looking for R2 but could not find him. During the search the front door alarm was going off because everyone was going in and out looking for R2. Alarms go off all day. On [DATE] at 02:10 PM per telephone interview V23 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated The staff from the second floor came down to the first floor and started about 02:30 PM checking all around the building. At 02:45 PM the supervisor came down continued to search. At 03:00 PM R2 had not been located. They continued to look for R2, the shift changed at 3pm and I left at 03:30 PM. I am not sure if the alarm went off. The staff was running all around and it was almost time for the shift to be over. They searched all around the building. I did help them search in the basement and outside. R2 may have gone out of that Northwest door. We are supposed to hear the alarm if someone went out of the door. On [DATE] 02:29 PM Per telephone interview V25 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated I work on the first floor. When R2 eloped, we searched the facility. I did not hear any alarms. Someone from the second floor came and said someone was missing and we started searching together. On [DATE] at 02:42 PM V26 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated I was at the facility when R2 eloped. R2 was not a resident from my floor, I work the first floor. R2 had on a red shirt. R2 was found and was taken to the hospital due to it being cold outside. It happened at the middle of the shift change. I looked on my floor and I told them I did not know what the person looked like. They did not have a book with residents that were elopement risk at the desk. They talked about designing one after the fact. I am not going to lie. I did not hear any alarm prior to them calling a code purple. On [DATE] at 02:52 PM Per telephone interview V27 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated I got there when they were looking for R2. Everyone was searching the rooms and outside. To my understanding it had to be right before I got there. I got there a little before 3 pm and they were already checking. I don't remember a book with a list of residents at risk for elopement being at the nurse stations if it was, I am not aware. R2 wanders and would go through any doors he came across; other resident rooms and we would redirect R2 to his room. There were no alarms going off when I came in. I heard from R5 that R2 went out the back door of the hall. On [DATE] at 03:34 PM V35 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated I work the pm shift. When I came in on [DATE] they could not account for R2. They checked in every room and outside. R2 was always in his room, confused and able to ambulate without assistance. I assisted in the search for R2. On [DATE] at 03:45 PM V32 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated I worked that evening when R2 eloped. When I came in the search was over. One day R2 left the second floor and came to the first floor down the back stairs, and I call the nurse to come get R2. I did not know there was a book with a list of the residents at risk for elopement there on the first floor. On [DATE] 11:32 AM V29 (Maintenance Director) stated the northwest door has an alarm that go to the nurse station and is faint, but you can hear it. The alarm to the northwest door was not that loud initially. Originally it goes off and you shut it off but after 15 minutes it goes off on its own. When I came in on [DATE] it was between 5-6 o'clock pm. On [DATE] at 12:56 PM per telephone interview V20 (On-Line Communications Low Voltage Technician) stated on [DATE] the facility requested to have alarms installed at the doors. We installed a door alarm to the northwest door. I am not sure if an alarm was there. We quoted an annunciator that will ring at the nurse station when the alarm goes off. On [DATE] at 11:52 AM V29 (Maintenance Director) stated the alarms were working but the old was not as loud. The old alarm is still there, and you can still hear it. If you open the door, both the old and new alarms are alarming at each nurse station.
