Findings
Alleged Victim's (AV's) Care Plan dated April 1, 2024 indicates AV is an elopement risk. AV used to just leave home prior to admission and walk to town disappearing for days at time. On or about May 8, 2024 AV removed or kicked out the window screen in h/h room and left, eloping from the facility (AP1). Staff entered AV room to take out the garbage and noticed AV was not in h/h room. Staff looked out back and saw AV on the hill behind AP1, but still on AP1's property. Staff followed AV on foot and called the police. When police arrived, staff were with AV. AV was never off the property unsupervised. AV did not want to return to AP1. AV believed s/he had been at an alcohol rehab, had done h/h time and was seeking "a 40 and a joint". Witness 6 (W6) got AV in W6's car, and was to take AV to the hospital for evaluation. W6 later called AP1 and said s/he didn't take AV to the hospital but to the family home. AV has not returned to the AP1. The facility failed to provide a safe environment, which is a violation of Oregon Administrative Rules.
