25 | Licensing Program Analyst Bertozzi arrived unannounced to conduct a Case Management inspection and met with Administrator, Cinthya Gamino.
Facility reported an incident where resident, R1 left the facility unsupervised and was observed by a staff member down the street from the facility. Review of resident's Physician's Report dated 6/21/22 indicated that R1 should be escorted by staff when leaving the community due to physical impairment. R1 is not diagnosed with dementia and the doctor did not indicate that the reason for a staff escort was due to cognitive delay or decline. R1 does not reside in a memory care unit.
Following elopement, the facility requested clarification from the doctor on whether R1 was able to go into the community alone and the doctor responded on 12/14/2022 via an updated Physician's Report that R1 was still unable to leave the facility without an escort due to weakness.
Per conversation with Administrator, they have communicated with the resident that they are not able to leave the community without an escort per their doctor's instruction. R1 understands and has agreed to not to leave the facility unassisted.
No deficiencies cited during this inspection. |
