Residents Affected - Few The findings include: R1's Face Sheet, dated 8/12/24, shows R1 was discharged from the facility on 3/10/24. On 8/12/24 at 10:54 AM, V1, Administrator, said, When a resident discharges, any money remaining in the trust fund after all bills have been paid, is returned to the resident or to the resident's Power of Attorney (POA). (V3, Director of Financial Service) at the corporate office sends out the resident funds. On 8/12/24 at 10:35 AM, V2, Business Office Manager, said she didn't recall any concerns with R1's trust fund or speaking to R1's family or R1's new facility about it. On 8/12/24 at 11:58 AM, V3 said R1 discharged from the facility on 3/10/24, and R1's remaining balance was sent to another facility in two checks. V3 said, The first check for $5288.14 was dated 4/15/24 (36 days after discharge), and as of today shows that it wasn't cashed, and the second check was sent 4/18/24 (39 days after discharge) for $1685. 00 and shows that it was cashed. V3 said since the first check wasn't cashed, she had V4, Financial Coordinator, void the original check and re-issue it today. V3 said she did not know why this was not done until today, or why no one followed up when the check had not been cashed. V3 said she reached out to V4 and the email correspondence between V4 and V5 (Business Office Manager at R1's new facility) has been going on since April 2024. On 8/12/24 at 1:01 PM, V5 said R1's son and herself have been trying to get R1's funds sent over since R1 moved to the facility. V5 said they received a check for $1685.00, but never received a second check. V5 said her last correspondence with V4 was in May, and she was told it could take 2-3 weeks for the check to be received. V5 said as of today (22 weeks after R1 was discharged ), R1 has not yet received the second check for $5288.14 from her previous facility. The facility's email from V3, dated 8/12/24, shows (R1) was discharged on 3/10/24 per the notes the son informed the facility resident NOT returning.
