Staff interviews and a record review revealed on April 11, 2020 at approximately 3:00 pm facility staff1(S1) was conducting resident checks and was not able to locate R1. S1 immediately notified facility staff2 (S2) and began searching the community. The facility Administrator notified R1’s Responsible Party(RP) and the La Mesa Police Department (LMPD). Additional interviews revealed S2 last saw R1 at approximately 2:20 pm. in the facility lobby. At that time, R1 seemed agitated so S2 re-directed R1 back to their room. A record review revealed at 3:06pm R1 was located by the LMPD a block away and was brought back to the facility at approximately 3:15pm. It was also alleged facility staff did not report the missing resident per regulation. A record review revealed Facility staff reported all the appropriate parties meeting Title 22 mandate. Based on interviews conducted and pertinent records reviewed, it was determined the above allegations were determined to be unsubstantiated. An unsubstantiated finding means that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. There were no deficiencies cited during today’s visit. An exit interview was conducted with Med Tech Jazmine Aguirre and a copy of this report along with Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058 01/16) was provided to Med Tech Jazmine Aguirre via email.
