Interviews conducted indicated that Resident R1 enjoys walking inside the facility and around the neighborhood. Staff accompany R1 on their walks due to R1 not being able to leave the facility unassisted. Staff S1 and Licensee both indicated that R1 has not eloped from the facility and is always accompanied during outside time and walks. Records reviewed indicated that R1 is unable to leave the facility unassisted which is why staff accompany R1 on their walks around the neighborhood. When R1 moved in to the facility, they were able to leave unassisted but now due to R1’s diagnosis, R1 must be accompanied by a staff member. Therefore, the allegation staff did not prevent resident from wandering from the facility is unfounded.
