Residents Affected - Some Findings include: On 4/20/22 at 3:55 pm, V1, Administrator, stated, We don't really have a resident trust fund, with the exception of one of our residents, (R6), who has a trust account managed by the fiscal department from the hospital side of the building. (R6) is a Medicaid recipient and is under a state guardianship. V1 continued, What we do have is money we keep locked in the safe inside the medication room for residents who want to be able to use cash for something while they are here. V1 further stated, We are not the representative payee for any resident. The families do bring in money for some of our residents and we accept those funds for them, and we do provide that money to residents when they request cash. 1) On 4/20/22 at 3:59 pm, the facility's Personal Cash Box Inventory (individual accounting sheets) documents R3 had a balance of cash in the amount of $16.94, R6 had a cash balance of 45 cents, R15 had a cash balance of $26.00, R19 had a cash balance of $286.40, R31 had a cash balance of $80.00 on 11/19/21, and R233 had a cash balance of $65.00.
