13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Lyman conducted an unannounced complaint visit to deliver findings on the above allegation. LPA identified herself and discussed the purpose of the visit with Executive Director Johanna Gonzalez.
During the course of the investigation, LPA interviewed staff and resident as well as reviewed and obtained pertinent documentation such as physician report and facility notes. Regarding the allegation that facility is wrongfully evicting resident, the investigation revealed the following: On 11/07/2021, Resident 1 (R1) eloped out of the facility with three other residents to go for a walk. The residents were observed on the front patio of facility by staff and redirected back into the facility. Per physician report, R1 is unable to leave the facility unassisted. R1 is diagnosed with Dementia. Facilty staff advised R1's responsible party that R1 would need to be moved into a memory care unit due to the elopement and documented decline. Facility memory care unit does not have any current openings and responsible party was given options at other Atria facilities that have openings. Family declined those options and R1 was put with a one on one caregiver until the resident could be admitted into a memory care. Facility does not utilize wander guards.
