re-opened the investigation. The report shows small charges from a vending machine were made to the
missing credit card on 2/1/25, 2/2/25, and 2/3/25. Utilizing the credit card charge times, the facility was able
to identify a temporary agency employee that worked all the shifts and units where the missing credit cards
were reported. The facility also confirmed a charge was identified to have taken place at a restaurant 0.7
miles from the temporary agency employee's home address. The facility immediately notified the temporary
agency and the police investigating the original theft reports.
Final Reportable, dated 2/3/25, shows R1 had a recent hospital stay and on 1/30/25, R1 received a text
message from her credit card company asking her to verify a purchase at a convenience store for $11.00.
R1 checked her bank account and identified a fraudulent charge attempt on her account. R1 contacted her
daughter V3 (Family) who contacted V1 (Administrator) to assist R1 in canceling her credit card. V1
assisted R1 in canceling her credit card and began a facility investigation. R1 searched her purse and
identified her credit card as missing. V1 assisted R1 in filing a police report. During the investigation, three
additional residents on the 500 unit reported missing credit cards or small amounts of cash, and one
resident located on the 2500 unit. An additional police report was made to include the additional information
of missing items. During the investigation, the facility reviewed staffing and identified one staff who worked
both units in the time frame of the missing items. Review of the employee's work history showed the
employee worked 1/21/25-1/28/25 but did not show up for her scheduled shift on 1/31/25 and 2/1/25
resulting in automatic termination.
Final reportable shows the facility reviewed the hiring of the employee and a criminal background check
was conducted prior to hire and was clear. The healthcare registry form was reviewed prior to hire and the
staff was eligible to work as a CNA. The residents were reimbursed any missing cash and the missing
credit card was deactivated. Residents were encouraged to send valuable items home with trusted family or
friends. If residents wish to keep their valuable items they have the option of having it locked up in a secure
closet in the administrator office. Residents do continue to have the choice of keeping valuables with them
at the bedside if they choose.

worked shifts.

fracture of third lumbar vertebra, falls, hypotension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, respiratory
failure, asthma, polyneuropathy, sick sinus syndrome, anemia, takotsubo syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis,
and depression. MDS, dated [DATE], shows R2's cognition was intact.
On 2/10/25 at 1:44 PM, R2 stated on 2/3/25, she checked her bank account to look for a charge she was
expecting. R2 stated she noticed there were approximately nine charges on her account that she did not
recognize, including some that she was told by the credit card company were vending machine charges. R2
stated she called the bank to report the fraud, and also reported it to the Administrator. R2 stated when she
looked in her purse, she was missing a cash card and another credit card. R2 stated she was also missing
$40. R2 stated she was as admitted to the facility on [DATE] and kept her purse in the top drawer in her
room. R2 stated she provided V1 with the time and amounts of the fraudulent charges and the following day
she received a text from the credit card company that another fraudulent charge of $125 was attempted at
a gas station on her credit card which was blocked by the company. R2 stated there were four unauthorized
charges on 2/1/25, four unauthorized charges on 2/2/24, and one more unauthorized charge on 2/3/25 for
vending machine food she believed was here at the facility. R2 stated she provided the times of the charges
to V1 so V1 could check the cameras by the vending machine.
