Hampton Manor of Punta Gorda Complaints Result in Deficiencies Related to Elopement and Staff Training
Florida investigators arrived at the facility on an unannounced basis to conduct their inspection. At that time, they made observations, conducted interviews and reviewed records maintained on the premises. Investigators made a point of determining whether the ALF was in compliance with Florida law pertaining to elopement standards. Elopement occurs when a resident wanders away from an ALF undetectedly. To help protect residents who are at risk for elopement, Florida law requires that assisted living facilities ensure that residents have identification with them that contains certain information. In this instance, Florida officials concluded that “the facility failed to ensure residents at risk for elopement had identification on their persons that included their names, the facility name, address and telephone number for 4 residents (#1, #2, #3, and #4) of 4 residents deemed at risk for elopement.” This resulted in the facility receiving the citation of a Class III deficiency.
An additional Class III deficiency was cited against the facility based on its failure to comply with in-service training requirements for staff.
