An Elopement risk evaluation conducted on 08/06/2025 indicated the resident was at risk for Elopement. Review of the clinical census revealed Resident #1 had been in the facility's secured unit (west wing) since her admission date. (A secured unit is a designated area within a facility that offers enhanced security and supervision for residents who may be prone to wandering or require specialized care. These units are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of individuals with memory-related disorders, ensuring their safety and well-being.)Review of Resident #1's care plan initiated on 08/03/25 documented, At risk for elopement .
