would have been delivered to the room. [Resident #1's name] BIMS score is low that was an error in our
part. The daughter may not have been aware of the financial responsibility. When I spoke to her on the

past due amounts. The business office is responsible for checking the BIMS scores and delivering the
financial information accordingly.

name] would have called and notified us, the Administrator would have written the outstanding amount off,
but she did not reach out to the facility Administrator.
