So if they know that he "vanished within 10 minutes" and that he had Alzheimers, why was he allowed out by himself?? People with Alzheimers sometimes have no idea what they are doing, and need to be watched and taken care of. Sounds like someone wasn't doing their job that day.

I suppose this will be yet another substantiated complaint against a elder care facility. It anyone bothers to check the public information on the Oregon Department of Human Services website, they will find that under complaints, that this facility had a substantiated investigation by the state back on 2/25/2008 where they failed to provide adequate staffing and exposed their elderly people to potential harm.
It looks to me as if the potential harm of last year has become actual harm this year. How very sad for this poor man and his family, since this tradgedy could have been prevented with proper supervision as required by state and federal law!
We really need to do better by our senior citizens, starting with our many local foster and nursing facilities.
