“There is a difference between a residential care home, and a nursing home. A residential home residents are allowed to go out of the premises on their own if they are capable of doing so. Nursing homes the clients aren't so able. Depending on the criteria of the home, it is not necessary to have a secure door system in place, to keep the residents in the home. It is afterall their home, and they are free to come and go as they please providing it is safe for them to do so.
You can have a fully staffed home and still find residents taking themselves off out of the building without members of staff being aware, especially if the staff are busy with other residents. So to say that it was bound to happen doesn't necessarily have to be the case.
I'm glad that she has been found safe and sound and hope she enjoyed her adventure.”

“it is not a secure home, understaffed this was bound to happen.”

“Mybe she wants to go home to Germany, bless her”

“'Care' homes can't be very caring if they allow people to wander out.”

“I hope they do find her, or have found her. If that's all she was wearing chances are the poor love could be lying someplace suffering from hyperthermia, considering the rain we have had lately. Let's all pray they find her safe and sound.”
