In addition, staff interviews revealed that during the incident last 07/24/2022, Staff 2 (S2) was assigned to monitor the facility gate camera that day and saw R1 rushed out of the facility gate when paramedics arrived at the facility and staff immediately looked for R1 and incident was immediately reported to law enforcement, responsible party and other government agencies. Interviews with the law enforcement staff indicated that they found R1 that same day R1 rushed out of the facility gate. Responsible party also confirmed with LPA Brown that R1 was found the same day R1 rushed out/stormed out of the facility gate. The second allegation indicates that Staff does not ensure that resident takes medication as prescribed. During the investigation, LPA Brown did not find evidence to corroborate the allegation. The investigation consisted of records review and interviews with relevant parties. Staffs reported that all client medications are centrally stored and administered according to their physician’s orders. Residents interviews indicated that staffs ensure that they take their medications as prescribed. During the facility visit last 01/27/2023, LPA Brown observed medication records existed for R1. Administrator Aladin provided R1's Medication Administration Record (MAR) that showed R1’s medications were dispensed as prescribed by R1’s physician and also showed that staffs ensured resident takes medication as prescribed. Based on the evidence, the allegation that Staff does not prevent resident from wandering away from the facility (allegation #1) and Staff does not ensure that resident takes medication as prescribed (allegation # 2) are UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is UNSUBSTANTIATED means although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated at this time. An exit interview was conducted where this report, LIC9099 was discussed and provided to Administrator Amelia Aladin.
