Whether corrective actions taken after July 2025 involved structural changes (such as increased staffing, environmental modifications, or new monitoring systems) or were procedural only is not specified in the public record.

Families should ask administrators directly about the specific corrective actions implemented following the July 2025 elopement and inadequate supervision findings, particularly whether changes were structural (such as staffing increases or physical barriers) or procedural only, and request documentation of staff training protocols and environment standards related to the Alzheimer’s Association certification, before making a placement decision.
