the resident was found. There were no specific identifications of staff involved in the incident. There were no
other staff interviews who were working the evening and night shift. There was no evidence the dining room

windows throughout the facility, and any new interventions on prevention of other residents eloping from the
dining room window, and/or other windows of the facilities.
