Incident investigation·March 29, 2023

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Javier Prieto arrived to the facility to conduct a case management visit regarding an incident where a resident (R1) AWOLed from the facility on 03/02/2023. Facility video surveillance footage observed R1 scaling the facility fence and into a transport vehicle and exited the facility parking lot. Footage shows staff immediately calling out for help and attempting to open the double egress locks of the gate in order to stop the vehicle from leaving. Several staff took vehicles to attempt to locate R1 and notified local law enforcement. Facility staff attempted to phone R1 and when they got in contact with R1 no specific information was given as to the whereabouts. Law enforcement located R1 two days after later and returned to the facility. R1's responsible party was notified of the AWOL and subsequent return the facility. Responsible party then submitted paperwork relinquishing power over R1. R1 was interviewed by LPA Prieto in his room at the facility and found to be in good health, but does not understand why he is at the facility instead of his own private home. Staff interviews tells us that R1 did not have a residence prior to being admitted to the facility who was place at the facility by a family member who is also R1's power of attorney. LPA gathered pertinent documentation and this report was signed by Director Tawfik.
