(Report Continued from LIC 9099...) Record review revealed R1 has not been evicted from the facility, nor have they been issued an eviction notice from the facility. Interviews conducted with the Administrator revealed R1 was never evicted from the facility; however, R1 was denied entry back into the facility when brought back to the facility the next day. Interview conducted with the Administrator revealed R1 was not looking too well and requested R1 to be taken to get medically assessed and cleared before being re-admitted to the facility. Later that day, R1 was assessed while outside of the facility and brought back. Based on the information obtained and reviewed, the Department does not have sufficient evidence to support the allegation of “wrongful eviction”. Therefore, this allegation is being Unsubstantiated at this time. It was also alleged that staff did not prevent resident from wandering from the facility. Record review of R1’s Physician’s Report dated; 02/27/2023 revealed R1 is ambulatory and able to leave the facility unassisted. The Administrator stated R1 is self responsible and tends to go out of the facility often.

This allows facility staff to know which residents’ have stepped out incase of an emergency.

Therefore, this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report was issued.
