Interview on 01/17/25 at 10:24 A.M. with Business Office Manager (BOM) #256 revealed a new company
took over ownership of the facility on 12/01/24. Since that time, BOM #256 reported she was no longer able
to access the system to log accounting and was unable to run quarterly statements. BOM #256 verified
quarterly statements had not been provided to residents or their representatives for the quarter of 10/01/24
to 12/30/24. BOM #256 showed a written log of petty cash withdrawals and reported residents still had

documentation she had. BOM #256 confirmed there were no account balances, record of deposits, or
interest tracked. BOM #256 stated her ability to log transactions and balances ended 11/30/24 when the
accounts were closed and transferred to the new company for management.
Interview on 01/17/25 at 1:26 P.M. with the Administrator verified account statements were not provided to
the residents or their representatives when their accounts were closed 11/30/24. The new company took
over 12/01/24 and quarterly statements would be provided with a start date of 12/01/24. Review of the
corporate provided accounting for all resident trust accounts, viewed with the Administrator on the
Administrator's computer, revealed the accounting for all residents that had been done by the new
company. The surveyor requested clarification as only the transactions and accounting for Resident #1,
Resident #2 and Resident #3 was requested and unable to be determined from the information provided.
The Administrator was unable to provide clarifying information related to the accounting of Resident #1,
Resident #2 or Resident #3's resident trust accounts.
A follow-up interview on 01/17/25 at 3:40 P.M. with the Administrator revealed the current accounting was
not yet available for Residents #1, #2, or #3 as the information was not accessible onsite and had to be
sent from the corporate office. The information was subsequently provided on 01/17/25 at 3:45 P.M.
Review of the facility policy titled, Management of Residents' Personal Funds, revised March 2021 revealed
the facility would manage the personal funds of residents who requested the facility to do so. Funds were to

transactions were filed in the resident's permanent record. Funds would be placed in an interest-bearing
account, separate from the facility's accounts, quarterly accounting statements would be provided, resource
limit notices would be provided, personal funds would be returned to appropriate sources within 30 days of
discharge, and no charges would be assessed against the personal funds account unless the items were
requested by the resident.
Review of the facility policy titled, Accounting and Records of Resident Funds, revised April 2021 revealed
the facility's business office was to maintain accounting records of all financial transactions involving the
resident's personal fund. Individual accounting records were made available through quarterly statements
and upon request. Quarterly statements were to include the resident's balance at the beginning and end of
the statement period, the total deposits and withdrawals by the resident for the quarter, interest earned on
the resident's funds, resident funds available through the petty cash, and the total amount of petty cash on
hand.
