Resident #'1's son said he had not yet received a check and had heard nothing since. On 4/1/24 at 1:33 p.m., the Administrator said if a Resident is discharged or passed away, the business office has to issue a refund from that date to the end of the month.

He said the account was actually closed on 2/21/24 by account rep who works for the third party company. The Administrator said in looking through the account it did look like the refund check was never mailed out. The Administrator said he cannot answer why they did not cut the check and mail it. The Administrator said they are going to go back and audit to make sure there are no other outstanding accounts like that. He said it was an oversight and does not know why it wasn't done.
