- J Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to provide adequate supervision and effective assistance devices to prevent accidents for one (Resident (R) 19) of three sampled residents reviewed for elopement risk.

The failure to prevent R19's elopement, at a time when the outdoor heat index was 107 degrees, created an Immediate Jeopardy situation with the likelihood for serious harm or death. Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 08/15/2025 and was determined to exist as of 07/30/2025 (the day of the elopement), in the area of 42 CFR 483.25, Quality of Care. [...]
