Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to prevent the theft of a resident's personal money for one of
three residents (R1) reviewed for misappropriation of property.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
The facility's final investigation report with incident date of 10/03/2024 indicated that R1 admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with $75 that was documented on her admitting inventory sheet. R1 noticed the money
was missing/stolen from her wallet on 09/27/2024. R1 thought her son had picked up the money but he
confirmed that he did not take the money. The staff searched through R1's purse and room, as well as the
garbage and laundry but were unable to locate the money. After staff, resident, and family interviews were
conducted and video surveillance was reviewed, the facility could not ascertain where R1's money went or
when it went missing.
R1's medical record indicated the resident admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a past medical history not
limited to: history of fall, weakness, cervical disk degeneration, age-related osteoporosis and bilateral
hearing loss. R1 discharged to home on [DATE]. No contact number was noted on file. R1's son was not
listed within her medical records, nor any contact information.
R1's inventory sheet dated 09/24/2024 documented $75 son will take home tomorrow. Review of R1's
admission note dated 09/24/2024 showed no documentation of the money or that R1's son would be
picking it up the next day.
R1's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated R1 had no cognitive
impairment and scored 15/15.
The facility's grievance/concern/compliment logs showed an entry on 09/27/2024 documenting that R1 had
missing money that son took home with a resolution on the same date. A second entry that was dated
09/30/2024 documented that R1 had missing money which her son did not take home and was reported
with a documented resolution date of 10/04/2024.
On 10/10/2024 at 09:54 AM, V1 (Administrator) said R1 admitted to facility on 09/24/2024 and the admitting
nurse (V4-Registered Nurse) found that R1 had $75 in her wallet. R1 did not want the facility to secure this
money then indicated that her son would pick it up the following day and was documented by V4
(Registered Nurse) on R1's admitting inventory sheet. V3 (Social Services Director) who was also present
during interview said R1's son came to the facility on [DATE] and denied taking R1's money home. V1
added that a thorough search was conducted, staff and residents were interviewed, and video surveillance
was reviewed for the three-day window from the time R1 admitted (09/24/2024)

until when the money was alleged to be missing (09/27/2024). V1 added that the video surveillance showed
staff were never present in R1's room without R1 and/or her roommate (R2) also present. V1 said there
were no findings in the facility's investigation, so the incident was reported to public health and a police
report was filed with the local department which they have not received to date. V1 (Administrator) and V3
(Social Services Director) both said that they believed R1's son took the money because they couldn't
prove staff took the money and R1's son became defensive when confronted. When asked if the facility
could provide evidence that a staff member did not take R1's money, V1 responded no. V1 (Administrator)
provided documentation of her request to reimburse or credit R1 for the missing money that has not been
provided to R1 as of current.
On 10/10/2024 at 11:02 AM, V4 (Registered Nurse) said during R1's admission inventory, she asked R1 if
she had any money on her person. R1 initially said no but V4 saw a blue purse and handed it to R1. V4
added that R1 took out some bills from the wallet then counted the money which totaled $75. V4 said R1
did not want her to secure the money and indicated that her son would pick it up the following day so R1
put the money back into the wallet. V4 said she wrote a note on R1's inventory sheet indicating the same
and reported off to the oncoming nurse about the money and when R1's son would be picking it up.
On 10/10/2024 at 11:39 AM, V7 (Certified Nursing Assistant) said he was working when R1 admitted and
that V4 was the nurse. V7 added that R1 came with a clear plastic bag from the hospital that contained
some personal belongings which he placed in the closet. V7 (Certified Nursing Assistant) then said he
informed V4 (Registered Nurse) about the bag. He added that V4 and R1 began going through the bag,
then he heard V4 say to R1, oh you have some money. V4 then told R1 that she would record the amount of
money on her inventory sheet. V7 said he then left the room shortly after this encounter.
On 10/10/2024 at 12:34 PM, V8 (Maintenance Director) said he reviewed video surveillance from R1's
admission on [DATE] until the time it was first reported missing on 09/27/24. V8 then said he only saw R1's
son enter her room on 09/27/2024 and R1 was present. V8 added there was not a time when he could see
on the video that R1's son was in the room alone without either R1 or R2 present. V8 also said that he did
not see a time when staff were in the room without one or both residents being present. When asked if
activity within the room could be visualized with the video surveillance, V8 said whatever occurred in the
room is not visible on the video and that it could have been a staff member because he never saw the son
in the room alone.
On 10/10/2024 at 1:42 PM, V9 (Agency Registered Nurse) said she doesn't recall R1 specifically but does
recall that she has never been informed about any resident at the facility having money on their person
and/or that a family member would be picking up the money.
On 10/10/2024 at 02:04 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) said R1 informed her on 09/27/2024 that she had $75
missing. V2 then said R1 gave permission for V2 and V4 (Registered Nurse) to search her room but could
not locate the money which V4 verified was present and counted on admission. When asked why the facility
waited several days to report the incident to public health and/or the local police, V2 (DON) said R1 didn't
allege that the money was stolen until 10/03/2024 and that's when V1 was informed, and a complete
investigation was initiated. Prior to this date, R1 just said the money was missing.

right to be free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property or mistreatment. This
