LPA reviewed Licensee’s contract with Peppermint Palm Placement Services, along with R1’s Admission Agreement. R1’s Admission Agreement states that “all payments to home will be from Peppermint Palm Senior Care” and that rate for basic services was “per contract.” Based on interview with payee and Licensee, as well as review of contract from placement agency, all financial transactions were conducted in accordance with agreement between payee, placement agency, and facility. Based on interviews conducted by LPA and records reviewed, the above allegation is found to be UNFOUNDED. A finding that the allegation is unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis. Exit interview was conducted with Licensee via telephone and a copy of this report will be provided to the facility via email. This facility shall sign and return a copy of the report to the department and print a copy to be retained by the facility.
