at 11:05 AM, R1 was sitting outside in his wheelchair. R1 said he recently went out on pass with his girlfriend to his girlfriend's house. R1 said he fell asleep watching a movie and it got late so he stayed the night there and came back to the facility in the morning the next day. R1 said he signed himself out of the facility. On 5/27/26 at 11:20 AM, V7 (Licensed Practical Nurse) said she worked on the day R1 went out on pass. V7 said R1 had asked to go out on pass and V7 asked V1 (Administrator) if R1 was allowed to go out. V7 said V1 said R1 had a high enough cognition score that he could go, but normally you are supposed to call the doctor and get an order. V7 said R1 is alert and oriented times three, is able to transfer himself and has no safety concerns that she was aware of. On 5/27/26 at 11:22 AM, V8 (Registered Nurse) stated, Oh yeah, you are supposed to call the doctor! On 5/27/26 at 11:40 AM, V1 (Administrator) said for a resident to go out on community pass they need to have a high cognition score. V1 said she was not aware of needing a doctor's order or not, nursing would know that. V1 said she would need to look at their policy. R1's Physician Orders for May 2026 do not contain an order to go out on a therapeutic leave.
