West Des Moines Nursing Home Elopement: When a Facility Doesn’t Know Your Father Is Gone If you are reading this because someone you love walked out of a nursing home and no one noticed, you already know the part that keeps you awake at night. It is not that he left. People with dementia try to leave — that is a known, documented, regulated risk that every nursing home in America is trained and equipped to prevent.

You may have heard about what happened at the skilled nursing facility on Grand Ridge Drive. A woman complained of severe pain. A nurse identified the problem — an anal fissure — and reported it to an advanced registered nurse practitioner, who ordered ointment without ever walking into the room to examine her. For nine days, no one assessed her condition. When staff finally found her screaming audibly down the hallway, with blood pressure so low her body was shutting down and bowel movement emerging from her vaginal area, it took an hour and a half to get an order to send her to the emergency room. She was in septic shock. She had gangrene near…
