The door to the outdoor enclosure was not locked and did not advise staff of a resident going outside. AV went outside and tried to climb the fence with a chair and fell, resulting in a broken hip requiring surgery. The facility's failure to provide a safe physical environment is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
