Complaint Investigation Report

Allegation: Lack of supervision resulting in resident eloping from the facility

During investigation, LPA conducted interviews with reporting party (RP), third party witness (W1) and facility staff (ADM, S1, S2, S3) and reviewed client (C1) documents. ADM stated client (C1) has a 1:1 staff per shift assigned who monitors him at the facility 24/7 due to his frequent AWOLs, Serious Bodily injury behaviors (SIBs) and physical aggression. RP stated he is the behavioral aide driver for C1’s school and that on 01/08/26, he arrived at the facility at around 07:10AM to pick him up. RP stated he observed two staff (S1, S2) outside looking for C1. S1 stated he told the driver that while C1 was having breakfast at the facility around 7AM, he climbed out the window and eloped from the facility. S3 stated he witnessed C1 climb out of the window and break the screen while running out. S3 stated he chased C1 around the neighborhood for 5 minutes until he caught him and brought him safely back to the facility the same day around 7:15AM. Although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, the allegation that lack of supervision resulted in resident eloping from the facility is unsubstantiated.
