The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has barred a Kenosha senior living center from taking in new residents until it complies with health and safety standards.
The state's Division of Quality Assurance investigated Parkside Manor Assisted Living and Memory Care following the death of an 89-year-old resident on Dec 19.
According to police, she was found outside the facility and died from exposure to the cold. Neither police nor Parkside Manor has identified the woman.
The state's investigation found that the woman had been admitted to Parkside with dementia, though upon initial assessment of her health, she did not exhibit "behavioral issues" or "wander."
However, she began to wander and eventually attempted to exit the facility several times, according to the investigation. None of those interventions or a need to increase her supervision level were noted in her individualized service plan, the investigation shows.
