R3 is confused and in her (R3's) own world.

I asked him what happened and he won't tell me anything. I would call the facility and talk with him on the phone, and (R1) has been at the same facility for over 20 years.V1, Administrator stated in interview on 11/15/25 at 2:30 PM, Yes (R1) was delivered involuntary discharge papers because we are not a locked unit and (R1) needs locked doors to keep him from exiting on his own. I told the hospital the facility would take him back as a resident if they would adjust his medication so (R1) would not want to leave the building.

The facility does not have locked exit doors and this is how (R1) was able to leave the building, through the southwest exit door.V20, Director of Care Services for the local hospital stated in interview on 11/18/25 at 9:30 AM The facility served (R1) papers for an involuntary discharge and he has no one to advocate for him. We did a new psychological evaluation and the results were (R1) is alert and oriented, decision making skills are there also but (R1) would not be able to live alone. (R1) would not be able to take care of himself, we are asking his brother to help assist us with placement elsewhere. No progress for this goal so far. (R1) is his own person but he can not take care of himself.

The Ombudsman organization is helping with the discharge process they are going to file for a hearing due to the involuntary discharge and the facility (R1) was at is the only place (R1) has been in the last 20 some years.V19, Nurse Practitioner for the contracted company who works with the mental health clients for the facility stated in interview on 11/18/25 at 12:02 PM, I agree with the assessment (R1) received at the hospital.
