On 12/17/24 the unit manager received an email from the police department detective. He was seeking assistance to identify a photo of the person within the email. The individual in the picture is presumed to be the individual who used the credit card of R2 at a store. The unit manager immediately reported to the interim administrator regarding the email received. The unit manager and ADON (Assistant Director of Nursing) reached out to POA (Power of Attorney), daughter of the resident. The POA stated that she realized that the credit card was not in the possession of the resident because she reviewed the monthly statement and that is when she saw a purchase made at a store. On 12/18/24 the unit manager was able to speak with the detective. The unit manager relayed to the detective that the individual in the picture did not work at the facility.
