25 | On 7/13/21 LPA spoke with staff Diana Flores regarding an incident report received for resident #1 (R1) indicating that R1 eloped from the facility on 7/11/21. Staff stated that R1 was wearing a wanderguard and had let the receptionist know that they were going to take their dog to go to the bathroom at the dog park located in the front of the building. Staff stated that when they had noticed that R1 had not returned from the dog park a med-tech and the driver went out to go look for R1. Staff stated that R1 was located approximately half a mile away from the facility without injury. Staff stated that they had made a list of residents who wear wanderguards and are not able to leave the facility without assistance. Staff stated that they are also working on in-servicing the staff.
During today’s visit LPA toured the facility with the Administrator and reviewed R1's records. Interview with Administrator starting at 11:38 am revealed that staff were given an in-service related to this incident and that staff Flores was the one that spoke with the receptionist regarding the incident. Administrator stated that they will obtain an updated physicians report to include R1's name and whether or not R1 can leave the facility unassisted. Administrator stated that R1's service plan will be updated to indicate R1's wandering. A review of R1's records starting at 11:40 am revealed that R1's physician's report does not indicate R1's name and whether or not R1 can leave the facility unassisted. R1's service plan dated 3/12/21 indicates R1 as oriented but occasionally forgetful. Sometimes confusion and/or difficulty in remembering simple details, may need prompting and orienting. R1's chart notes dated 12/26/2020 indicates R1 had been wandering outside the facility more consistently. 3/16/21 R1 left the facility unassisted and made it to the building across the street. 3/18/21 R1 wandered to the dog park at 9 pm and was very confused. Does not listen and continues to wander daily. Based on information obtained during the investigation staff failed to supervise R1 on 7/11/21 as R1 eloped from the facility.
