CCL received a self-reported incident report that occurred at approximately 8:45 AM on the morning of 5/15/2024. It was reported at approximately 8:55 PM on the evening of 5/16/2024 by Licensee/Administrator that R1 told the caregivers that he wanted to go for a walk around the backyard as he does this every morning for about 30 minutes. Licensee/Administrator reported that when caregivers checked on him, they didn't find him and observed the backyard gate to the front of the house was open. Licensee/Administrator reported that caregivers looked for him for approximately 30 minutes and notified Licensee/Administrator who then called 911. Licensee/Adminstrator reports that the local police found R1 on the next block and reported that R1 claimed to have stumbled on a small rock which caused him to fall and he complained of shoulder pain. Licensee/Adminstrator reported that R1 was then taken to Kaiser Vacaville Emergency Room and R1's signficant other was contacted

Per R1's Physician’s Report (LIC602) dated 04/24/2024, R1 has dementia and is unable to leave facility unassisted. LPA reviewed R1's Appraisal/Needs and Service Plan (LIC625) and noted that it needs to be updated to include increased supervision of R1 throughout the day and that he is not to be in the backyard or outside of the facility without supervision. Facility is being cited for not providing the services necessary to meet resident needs as evidenced by a lack of supervision while in the backyard which led to elopement and injury (see LIC809-D).
