32 | These additional interviews/hospital records additionally confirm that R1 had left the facility through their bedroom window. Since evidence supports the Administrator's recollection of the event, the circumstances surrounding the elopement do not suggest a lack of supervision by staff, as R1 exited through a window (which is low in the wall and is feasible for R1 to have exited from) in their bedroom during a brief period of time where staff did not have line of sight on R1, and it was normal for R1 to be in their private bedroom at this time. Additionally, R1 had no prior elopements from the facility in the last two years since admission. R1's elopement from the facility was unusual in R1's established behavior at the facility as well as the method used to exit the premises. Therefore, based on interviews, observations, and hospital records, the allegation "Lack of supervision resulting in resident leaving the facility" is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
A finding of UNSUBSTANTIATED means although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur.
An exit interview was conducted with Administrator Maria Gonzalez and a copy of this report was provided. |
