Level of Harm - Potential for
minimal harm
On [DATE] at 3:00 PM, the BOM was asked why she thought the residents or family representatives waited
so long (more than 3 months), to receive their refunds. The BOM stated she thought she had sent the
packages (refund requests) to the corporate office on time. She stated that maybe the corporation sent the
check, and it came back. She added that she previously didn't have access to the report that showed the
dates that the checks were issued. The BOM agreed with the findings.
