debited from R3's bank to R3's trust account by V5 the previous Business Office Manager/BOM. R3's
$609.64 was refunded back on 10-25-22 to R3's trust account. (V4 Business Office Manager/BOM) should
not have put in a debit. It happened again on 5-15-23 with V4 BOM for $682.64. R3's bank returned the
money because R3 didn't have enough to cover that one. On 7-17-23 a refund was put into R3's trust fund
account for $682.64, but then it was debited back out on 8-11-23 and shouldn't have been. It looks like V7
Corporate Bookkeeper had put it in as PL 5/2023 which means patient liability. We need to refund that
amount ($682.64) plus the $53.00 fee that R3 incurred and should not have to pay.
On 8-24-23, at 1:20pm, V2 stated As soon as we find out it should be refunded. V2 also stated that per an
email V2 received today, check #16 for R3 in the amount of $682.64 was dated 7-26-23, but never
deposited into R3's account. It was re-issued and deposited today.
2. R4's Minimum Data Set/MDS assessment, dated 7-7-23, documents R4 is cognitively intact.
On 8-23-23, at 11:19am, R4 sat in R4's room. R4 confirmed that the facility manages R4's money. R4
denied any concerns or issues with R4's trust fund account.
R4's resident trust fund statements, dated 8-23-23, document that R4's room and board was paid for twice
in September 2022. On 9-2-22 there was a Care cost automatic withdrawal of $968.64 for R4's room and
board. On 9-8-22 there was a bank debit of $968.64 into R4's trust fund followed by another payment, in the
same amount, made for R3's room and board. On 9-15-22 there was a fee of $53.00 for lack of funds. This
same statement documents that $968.64 was refunded to R3's trust fund on 10-25-22; there is no
documentation of R4's $53.00 fee being refunded.
On 8-23-23, at 2:56pm, V2 Regional Financial Coordinator stated the following: We started R4's Social
Security money as direct deposit on 5-3-22. On the same date (9-22-22) as what occurred with (R3), V5
previous Business Office Manager/BOM did a direct debit. On 10-25-22 it was refunded back to R4. We
owe R4 the $53.00 from the fee R4 incurred on 9-15-22.
On 8-23-23, at 2:15pm, V2 stated there are no safeguards in place for what happened here. The debits
should not have been done. V2 didn't get notified and doesn't know why.
On 8-24-23, at 2:05pm, V1 Administrator stated that it is concerning to V1 that there is no system in place
to check for double or over payments. If no one is checking, then it can't be paid back timely.
