LPA Gardner made Ms. Rodriguez aware of the above allegation. The above allegation was in reference to a complaint generated due to a resident (R1) getting out of the facility on dates 10/12/21, and 10/15/21. During the tour of the facility, LPA observed the door adjacent to R1's bedroom was able to be unlocked and did not have an auditory device to alert staff that the door was open or could be opened. At the conclusion of interviews, it was determined that R1 was able to exit the facility without detection by staff.

Based on interviews and and observstions made on 10/21/2021, this allegation was deemed to be SUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is SUBSTANTIATED means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. A copy of this report was reviewed with and provided along with copies of the LIC9099-D, and Appeal Rights. This is an amended version of the original report dated 10/21/2021.
