resident (R1) was allowed to elope. CCL defines elopement as having to meet 2 criteria: being outside of he facility and being unattended. During investigation, LPA reviewed R1’s physician report indicating R1 was ambulatory and had diagnosis of dementia. During investigation, LPA reviewed evidence indicating R1 had been outside in front of the facility for an extended period of time and that facility staff was having difficulty getting R1 to come back inside facility. Facility admits that R1 was often outside for extended periods of time. However, facility claims that a staff member always had watch over R1; so, R1 was never left unsupervised, despite R1’s refusals to come back inside the facility. Facility claims that R1 was never outside alone or unsupervised. So, due to conflicting accounts regarding the supervision of R1 while outside, and 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.
