There was no reason that AV could not wander the facility as other residents do. The facility was notified by family after the first incident of AP2's behavior and was asked to not have AP2 work with AV, however, that was not followed through by the facility, allowing AP2 access to AV to again prevent AV from leaving his/her room. AP2's actions are a violation of resident rights, are considered neglect of care and constitute wrongful restraint.
