F 0568 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Properly hold, secure, and manage each resident's personal money which is deposited with the nursing home. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents received a quarterly statement of their monthly Social Security stipend for five of five residents (R5, R28, R44, R81, R102) reviewed for Personal Funds in the sample of 26. The findings include: On 10/02/23 at 9:39 AM, R44 said, The person on the first floor that handles the resident's money never answers the phone. The first person would come around and ask if I needed any money, the new lady is hard to get to. If I wanted to get a couple of dollars I would have to wait for my son. On 10/03/23 at 2:17 PM, V14, Business Office Manager, said, I do not send out quarterly statements to the residents. I give the resident their balance when they make a withdrawl. Residents are the only ones that have access to their accounts. On 10/04/23 at 9:05AM, R81 said, I do not get quarterly statements. On 10/04/23 at 9:12 AM, R102 said, I think it started in November 2022. I have asked twice for a statement regarding the balance of my funds; no one has given me one. I have no idea how much money I have in my account. I have no idea how to get my money. I asked about it, I was told they would look into it; I have not heard back. I have been asking for a couple of months now to get ahold of the finance department, no one has contacted me. I do not want to get anyone in trouble, but I have questions and want answers. On 10/04/23 at 9:26 AM, R5 said, If the facility sent me a quarterly statement, I would know the balance in my account. I like to buy my own toothpaste. On 10/04/23 at 9:30 AM, R28 said, I would like to know my balance. It would be nice to give my friend some money to go out and buy a few items for me. On 10/04/23 at 10:00 AM, R44 said, I am not always able to go down to the bank or (V14's) office. It is difficult for me to get out of bed. I do not get quarterly statements telling me what my balance is. The facility's Resident Fund Trial Balance, dated 10/03/23 at 3:28PM, shows multiple residents including R5, R28, R44, R81, and R102. On 10/04/23 the facility did not provide a policy for Resident Personal Funds.
