Upon discovery of cash discrepancy, former Administrator Donald Windham (FA), went to a safe, collected four dollars, and resupplied resident's cash resources. FA indicated that the facility always has cash on hand just in case there is a discrepancy. FA stated that he was unsure why there were light discrepancies in the cash reserves of 12 residents. The audit report indicates that, despite the difference in ledger amount listed and amount of cash counted, the cash count ultimately did not result in any evidence of financial abuse. During the investigation, the department attempted to interview suspected victim of financial abuse in multiple instances. In every attempted interview, suspected victim stated that they did not want to speak on the matter and requested that the investigation be shut down. Audit report indicates that there were no other residents identified as potential victims of financial abuse during the course of the investigation. Audit report concludes that there is no evidence to substantiate the claims of financial abuse. This Department has investigated the above allegation. Based on records review, interviews, and observation, the Department has determined that the allegation was UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. Exit interview conducted. This report was reviewed with Administrator Nicholas Inneh and a copy was provided.
