Resident (R1) left their apartment using their walker, R1 exited through front egress doors into lobby, then exited through front lobby door, until they were found on the sidewalk in front of the community by a member of staff within 20 minutes of leaving. R1 said that they were waiting for a ride. R1 was escorted back into the community. R1 was assessed by staff and there were no injuries.
