32 | Interview with Licensee, Andrew Hardin, stated R1 has left the facility on multiple occasions, but staff will attempt to deter R1 from leaving the facility and to redirect R1 back to the facility. In addition, Administrator stated that R1 requires increased supervision due to previous behaviors. Administrator reported that the facility is abiding by the increased supervision requirement. Information obtained by additional staff stated the supervision is not enough coverage for R1. Staff stated that the facility is trying to ensure that R1 does not elope. Information obtained from R1’s Responsible Party confirmed that R1 has eloped multiple times, but there are no concerns regarding the facility. An interview with additional witness stated that R1 has been observed in the vicinity of the facility, without supervision. During the inspection on March 13, 2026, LPA Wright and LPA Lankford observed R1 attempting to elope from the facility. Assigned staff member was not present when R1 was attempting to elope. It was advised that staff were not available and or present with R1. This poses a health and safety risk to the clients in care.
Based on staff interviews, resident interviews, facility records, and R1's files, the allegations that staff did not adequately supervise resident in care resulting in the resident eloping multiple times is deemed substantiated. A substantiated finding means that the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation is found to be Substantiated. The facility will be cited due to the violation pertaining to Title 22.
An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report, 9099C, 9099D, appeal rights were reviewed and provided to Administrator Andrew Hardin.
