AV’s care plan identifies that staff are to ensure all exits are locked and monitor AV exiting the building when other people utilize the exit. On or about August 8, 2024, at around 8:30 p.m., staff realized AV was missing so they searched the facility, however, AV was nowhere to be found. Law enforcement pulled up to the facility and had AV in their car. AV had left the facility without staff knowing and jumped into a neighbor's car, who ended up calling law enforcement. The facility field to document this elopement in an incident report or progress notes, which resulted in AV not having a safe environment, which is a violation of resident rights, is neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
