On this day at 1600hrs, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jaime Vado conducted an unannounced complaint investigation visit to conduct the initial investigation visit and deliver findings for the allegations received. LPA met with administrator Anna Allas and explained purpose of today's visit.

During the course of the investigation LPA conducted interviews and reviewed pertinent resident documents. According to facility staff interviewed, they saw and followed the resident when she left the facilty. They attempted to redirect the resident back to the facility but the local police department was called when she would not return. They stayed with the resident until police arrived. According to the facilty the intent was for the resident to return. Facility requested additional care and medication adjustment but was notified that the resident was going to be relocated by her placement team.
