Findings
According to the documentation, the facility failed to provide a safe environment for the Alleged Victim (AV) by not ensuring the courtyard gate was secured. On or about September 03, 2024, the lawn maintenance company who performed landscaping at the facility failed to securely lock the gate to the courtyard. The facility staff did not check the gate to ensure it was locked. The AV was able to elope from the facility unnoticed. A staff member noticed the gate was wide open and immediately got a count of the residents and noticed the AV was missing. Local law enforcement found the AV about a mile away from the facility wandering near a four-lane highway putting them at risk of harm, which is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
