Re: Need advice ASAP!!! Resident wants to leave now, AMA

Yes, the police. If the resident walks out or your facility, you don't call the OMBUDSMAN. Once outside, they will have little or nothing to do with an ex-resident. In that case, you call the police if the person is unable to care for themselves or is a danger to themselves. The police will get Adult Protective Services involved.   Nathan ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 6:34 PM Subject: Re: Need advice ASAP!!!
