'Two Hour's Monitoring Sheet' as present at the facility in the whole night, without physically seeing him.
LVN B said she assumed Resident #1 would be at the facility since he was one of the residents with very
low elopement risk, over the years. She stated to ensure the residents were present at the facility, she
should have observed all of them physically at every two hours instead of assuming.

she worked on 04/01/24 in the East Hall where Resident #1 was not living. LVN C stated, in the nights she
physically checked all the residents every two hours by entering in their rooms unlike, as observed, LVN B
who used flashlight from the door for observation, without entering their rooms.
During a telephone interview on 04/03/24 at 3:00PM the NP at the facility stated since Resident #1 had
eloped, there was risk of relapsing his mental illness due to the lack of medication. She stated this would
make him more vulnerable in the community and could be a threat to the safety of his and/or of the
community. NP stated Resident #1 has long history of mental illness and even if he returned to the facility
after few days, it would take some time to build up a therapeutic level of medications in the blood to make
him mentally stable.

him. LEO stated he was one of the three officers who responded to the 911 call from the facility on 04/02/24
at about 7:30AM. He said the observation of the CC camera footage revealed the resident exited the facility
by breaking open the gate forcefully. LEO stated, while he could not find any remarkable noncompliance of
the facility, the Two Hour's Check Sheet did not make any senses as Resident #1 was marked in it as
present at the facility throughout the night on 04/01/24. He said, it was clear from the CC camera footage
that he exited the facility at about 8:00PM. LEO stated the earlier the search for a missing person the higher
