32 | Allegation: Resident eloped from the facility due to lack of staff supervision.
It was alleged that facility staff failed to provide adequate supervision, which resulted in Client #1 (C1) eloping from the facility on 08/22/2025. To investigate this allegation, on 09/02/2025, LPA conducted interviews with the Administrator, Staff #1 (S1), Staff #2 (S2), and one (1) out of three (3) clients who were available. During a subsequent visit, LPA conducted interviews with three (3) out of four (4) clients who were available. During the 09/02/2025 interview with one (1) client, LPA was informed that he/she was able to tape the inside window alarm, exit the facility, walk to local stores, and return later that night. Both S1 and S2 reported they were on duty, remained awake, conducted hourly checks, and observed all clients, including C1, in their bedrooms throughout the night, and both staff and the Administrator confirmed that alarms were functioning. Lastly, interviews with three (3) clients on 02/09/2026 revealed they did not witness C1 leave, did not hear alarms, and reported staff presence overnight. Review of C1’s Individual Service Plan documented a history of false allegations and fabrication of stories. Based on interviews and documentation, this allegation is Unsubstantiated at this time.
Appeal rights explained and Exit interview conducted.
