On 11/6/24 at 9:30 R1 stated about a week ago she noticed she had not gotten a gift card in the mail that she had been expecting. R1 stated she also wanted to talk to V14 (Business Office Manager) about opening her mail. R1 reports she went to V14 and was shown where she (R1) had signed that she wanted her mail opened by the facility. R1 said, I tore that up right then and there and then told (V14/Business Office Manager) I was going to (V1/Administrator) because I had not received my gift card yet and I did. The very next day (V1/Administrator) was down here apologizing and giving me the cash for what was on the card. I am pretty sure (V14/BOM) got fired, but I don't care. We (residents) don't get much, and no one should be stealing what we do get. An undated summary of events presented by V1 (Administrator) documented that R1 expressed concerns regarding a gift card that she had not received. V14 (Business Office Manager) was sent home and a business office manager from a sister facility conducted the investigation and upon completion of the investigation it was determined that (V14/Business Office Manager) had used the gift for personal purchases and that V14 had admitted to using the card.
