13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Torres, conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to initiate the investigation into the above allegation. The LPA met with Administrator, Thomas Uata, and informed him of the purpose of the visit.
On this visit the LPA toured the facility, conducted staff/resident interviews, reviewed records, and took copies of pertinent documentation. Regarding the allegation, "Lack of supervision resulting in residents leaving the facility," it was alleged residents with cognitive disabilities wandered outside of the facility and required the assistance of law enforcement to be returned to the home. Third party interviews revealed no knowledge of any residents in care wandering out of the facility in the last month. Resident interviews revealed no knowledge of residents leaving the facility without staff supervision. The Administrator was interviewed and revealed there was one resident, Resident One (R1), who did leave the facility approximately four (4) months ago without staff assistance. He reported he arrived within thirty (30) minutes in order to assist in the search of the resident, and later contacted law enforcement when the resident could not be redirected. A records review |
