In addition, based on R1's needs and services, R1 was an elopement risk. According to the Health Services Director, Haley Ragasa , R1 moved into the facility in 2020 and had an assigned private caregiver due to his/her wandering behavior. In addition, it was indicated that due to R1's fast progressing dementia, and the expenses incurred of having private caregivers, R1's responsible party requested for R1 to be moved to the Memory Care unit.

Therefore, based on the information collected, and interviews conducted, the above allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
