According to C1s physician report dated February 15,2020 C1 is not able to leave the facility unassisted. Interviews with outside sources state the client has a history of AWOL and is a high risk to do it. Interviews with staff revealed they waited two hours to report C1 missing knowing that C1 is a high risk to AWOL. At the time C1 moved in the administrator was made aware of C1s high risk of AWOLing.

Based on the evidence obtained from interviews, records review, the complaint allegation is substantiated.

An exit interview was conducted with Amalia Pelina, Administrator and a copy of this report along with Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) was provided via US Mail.
