AI-Generated Summary

State inspectors found that a cognitively impaired resident with dementia exited the facility through an alarmed door on the night of February 9, 2025, and was not found for approximately 55 minutes — discovered by a neighbor lying on the sidewalk outside without weather-appropriate clothing. Staff had heard the door alarm but reset it without checking on residents, and facility policies failed to clearly assign responsibility during elopement emergencies. This was classified as Immediate Jeopardy, the most serious violation level. The facility submitted an abatement plan on April 10, 2025, including wander-guard devices, alarm volume increases, elopement drills, and updated staff training, which was accepted by the state.
