Review of facility incident investigation report revealed that the resident had exited the north wing by way of an activity/lounge area (Spanish Room) on the unit. There was a ramp area in this lounge that led to the chapel. The resident was able to open the gate to the ramp that led to the chapel. The gate was alarmed, but the alarm did not sound. Once down the ramp, the resident opened the door to the vestibule of the chapel. He then opened the door to the stairwell instead of the door to the chapel. The door to the stairwell was unlocked and unalarmed, because it was an emergency exit route. Staff found the resident at the bottom of the steps in the stairwell, face down and his wheelchair along side of him.
