All residents were deemed to not be able to leave the facility unassisted by their physicians. The residents were not injured and they all returned. Most of the residents here have high functioning mental capabilities and are all physically ambulatory. From the amount of residents who were able to leave the facility without notice and without permission it has been determined the facility shall submit a written plan to address this issue.
