On 6/18/2021 starting at 8:50am, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) L. Francisco and Carol Fowler arrived unannounced to conduct complaint investigation for the above allegations. Upon arrival LPAs were greeted by front desk. Executive Director, Tracey Ingleman later arrived at 9:15am.

Based on information obtained, staff did not react timely during resident's AWOL. S1 stated staff were unaware that the exit door had malfunctioned and was not working properly. However, once staff were aware of resident's AWOL, the facility conducted a search at the facility and surrounding neighborhood. S1 stated as S1 attempted to contact local law enforcement, facility was contacted by County Hospital.

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, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report provided.
