25 | LPA Hiratsuka conducted this unannounced case management visit in response to a resident who has left the facility twice and is deemed by a physician not able to leave the facility without assistance. Both times facility followed their protocol for elopements. LPA toured the facility with Administrator Angie Karis.
The first time the resident left the resident was not deemed an elopement risk. When the resident was returned to the facility the resident was put on fifteen minute checks. The resident left the facility shortly after one of the fifteen minute checks. The resident was found the second time by facility staff and was brought back to the facility. The resident now has a one-on-one staff. However, the facility staff are not allowed to physically restrain someone from leaving the facility without assistance and if the resident shows signs of wanting to leave and scales the perimeter fence the staff shall call the local police department to report the resident leaving. Administrator is currently in touch with responsible party for appropriate placement.
Further investigation is required.
No deficiencies cited.
