King 5 is reporting that last night a 95-year-old woman was found dead outside of the Assisted Living Facility where she was a resident. Within a few hours of last seeing the woman, the Facility called police who initiated a search. She was found at the garden of a neighboring facility.

Wesley Care's CEO, Kevin Anderson, says this has never happened in the 26 years the facility has offered care and they are cooperating fully with authorities.

"We grieve with the family deeply over this tragic incident," he said. "We are extremely sorry that the incident happened. (Jensen's) family has our deepest sympathies."

Anderson told KING 5 News Jensen did not have a history of wandering away from the Center. The police report said staff told officers that earlier that evening, Jensen was found in another wing of the care center and had to be escorted back to her room.

If your loved one has a history of wandering, it is important the facility take action to prevent it. in this case, there is a question as to how alert they should have been given her recent evidence of confusion. However, in other facilities, the failure to care for the special needs of your loved ones is easily preventable. 

My prayers go out to her family.
