re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including anxiety, bipolar, and cerebral infarction. The resident's
primary insurance was Medicaid and secondary was Medicare part B.
Review of Resident #68's resident fund statement dated 07/01/23 to 09/29/23 revealed on 08/15/23
$2,500.00 was debited for spend down.
Review of Resident #68's withdrawal transaction report dated 11/22/23 revealed $2,500.00 was withdrawn
from Resident #68's account.
Review of check #002225 dated 11/22/23 revealed a check was made out to the Administrator for the
amount of$2,500.00. The memo indicated cash for resident spend down.
Review of a Walmart receipt dated 11/27/23 revealed $346.49 was spent at Walmart.
Review of Resident #68's account statement dated 09/01/23 to 02/26/24 revealed no documented evidence
the remaining $2,153.51 from the original $2,500.00 was deposited back into the resident's account or
reconciled.
Interview on 03/15/24 at 2:18 P.M. with the Business Office Manager (BOM) #117 and Corporate BOM
#300 revealed Resident #68's son was notified in October, 2023 that his mom had too much money in her
resident funds account and the money needed to be spent down. The son was not able to spend the money
and asked the facility to spend the money down. The facility wrote a check out to the Administrator in
November 2023 for $2,500.00 and staff went to Walmart and bought $346.49 worth of items for the
resident. The remaining $2,153.51 was placed in an envelope in the safe and had been forgotten about until
the son inquired about her account and requested receipts. The BOM confirmed she did not reconcile the
cash nor place it back into the resident fund account. There was no account for the money. On 02/23/24 the
resident's son had called inquiring about his mother's account and had requested receipts. On 02/26/24
when she was gathering information for the son, she had realized there was

closed record review, review of the self-reported incident (SRI), review of the police report, policy review,
and interview the facility failed to ensure resident's money was not misappropriated. This affected one
(Resident #68) of one review for misappropriation.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
Closed record review revealed Resident #68 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and
re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including anxiety, bipolar, and cerebral infarction. The resident's
primary insurance was Medicaid and secondary was Medicare part B.
Review of Resident #68's resident fund statement dated 07/01/23 to 09/29/23 revealed on 08/15/23
$2500.00 was debited for spend down.
Review of Resident #68's withdrawal transaction report dated 11/22/23 revealed $2,500.00 was withdrawn
from Resident #68's account.
Review of check #002225 dated 11/22/23 revealed a check was made out to the Administrator for
$2,500.00. The memo indicated cash for resident spend down.
Review of a Walmart receipt dated 11/27/23 revealed $346.49 was spent at Walmart.
Review of Resident #68 account statement dated 09/01/23 to 02/26/24 revealed no documented evidence
that the remaining $2,153.51 was deposited back into the resident's account or reconciled.
Review of the facility SRI #244603 dated 02/26/24 revealed an investigation was initiated due to inventory
being taken from the safe. Interview of staff revealed no knowledge of missing funds for Resident #68. Law
enforcement was notified, and the report was not yet completed. The son was notified, and funds were
replaced. The disposition was unsubstantiated due to the evidence being inconclusive and misappropriation
was not suspected.
Further review of the SRI and investigation revealed there was a statement from the Administrator and
Business Office Manager (BOM) #117, petty cash reconciliation sheets dated 02/07/24 and 02/26/24, safe
audit completed 02/26/24, four staff statements, a letter from the Corporate BOM dated 03/01/24, and the
policy on resident funds. There was no documented evidence of the police report, resident interviews,
review of the security camera, no evidence the staff (Administrator and BOM #117) were suspended who
had access to the safe, and no evidence staff were educated on the abuse/misappropriation policy.
Review of BOM #117's typed statement dated 02/26/24 revealed in November (2023) she had processed a
spend down check for Resident #68 due to her account growing and being above Medicaid requirement.
She had spoken to Resident #68's son, and he did not have the time to spend down and thought it would
be helpful if she could buy some new clothes for Resident #68. The Administrator took the check to the
bank and cashed it, then when she brought the money back to the office it was immediately locked up in
the safe until she could go to the store. She had taken the envelope with her to Walmart on 11/27/23 and
she had spent $346.49 on clothes. She returned to the facility with the items purchased and took the time
and the envelope with the remaining funds back to her office where it was locked

back up into the safe. Staff took the clothes back to the resident room for her to try on. The remaining
money remained in the safe until 02/26/24 when the son requested copies of the receipts from the spend
down. When she got into the safe to retrieve the leftover fund and receipts, she found that the envelope was
$389.00 short. She informed the Administrator of the shortage to which they checked the safe for any loose
funds or receipts. She also balanced the other two cash boxes in the safe to ensure there were no extra
funds in them. Upon looking for the money we remembered the safe had been left unlocked on at least one
occasion but herself or the Administrator could not remember what day that had been. She could only
remember she had been either off the previous day of the incident or had been out of the building. When
she returned, she noticed the safe was open and had asked the Administrator if she had been in the safe,
to which she stated she must have forgotten to close it back up. The Administrator was unsure of how long
the safe had been left open. At that time, she had checked the safe to make sure all credit cards were
accounted for and balanced the cash in the resident fund box and petty cash box. At the time of the
incident, it had appeared nothing was missing but neither of them remembered there was spend down
money in the safe and it was not accounted for at that time.
Review of the Administrator's typed statement dated 02/26/24 revealed the BOM had informed her on
02/26/24 around 2:00 P.M., that she was closing a Resident funds account and she remembered she had
cash in the safe for that resident. Upon counting the envelope, the envelope was short $389.00. Inventory of
safe was done at that time, both money boxes were reconciled and all funds in the two money boxes were
accounted for. The facility credit cards receipts were gone through to see if we had charged something for
the resident and took the cash and forgot to leave a receipt, but nothing was found. The son, police, and
ombudsman were notified. Missing funds were replaced by the facility and mailed to the son. Verified limited
access of safe to just the BOM and Administrator. Interviewed other staff regarding the knowledge of
missing funds and had no knowledge identified. The cash boxes were reconciled by VP of operations on
02/07/24 and no issues found. On 03/01/24 the Corporate Director was in the facility and did an audit and
found no issues with any resident accounts from 12/2022 to current. She also educated the Administrator
and BOM on policy for handling cash.
Review of the resident funds petty cash audit dated 02/26/24 revealed the petty cash was audited by the
BOM and Administrator (the only staff members who had the pin number to the safe).
Review of the safe audit dated 02/26/24 revealed the audit was completed by the Administrator.
Review of the four typed statements dated 02/27/24 revealed the Assistant Director of Nursing #164, the
admission Coordinator #176, the Activities Director #173, and the Maintenance Director #184 signed a
statement that they had no knowledge of any resident fund missing.
Review of signed letter by Corporate BOM #300 dated 03/10/24 revealed she had audited all cash/checks
received from 12/2022 to current. Her finding showed that all deposits/withdrawals from resident accounts
were accurate and according to the receipts present. Training was provided to BOM #117. Weekly
reconciliation must be completed and signed off on by the BOM and Administrator. The corporate team will
continue to count cash and reconciliation when visiting the facility until further notice.
Review of the police report printed on 03/15/24 revealed on 02/27/24 at 2:39 P.M., the Administrator
reported $380.00 was missing from Resident #68. The caller thinks they just lost a receipt from using her
money but can't prove it, so they needed to report it per the facility policy. On scene the Manager reported
$389 was missing from a former resident's account. The manager believes they misplaced a receipt when
the resident was living there. $2,100 was left in the same safe that the $389 was

missing. The manager denied a formal report and reported she just wanted to note. There was no evidence
the facility followed up with the police after they determined the money had been misappropriated.
Review of the facility policy titled Resident Trust dated 02/01/20 revealed it was the facility policy to maintain
accurate, organized records for all resident funds activity. All records were to be maintained according to
the facility's State regulations. The person that disburses the funds cannot be the same person posting the
funds and reconciling. The Administrator BOM, or designee is responsible for accounting for all funds
during reconciliation daily. The daily count sheet must be completed and signed daily.
Review of the facility policy and procedure titled Abuse dated 11/01/16 and revised 01/31/20 revealed
residents had the right to be free from misappropriation of resident property. It was the facility policy to
investigate all alleged violations. If a staff member was accused or suspected of misappropriation of
resident property, the facility should immediately remove that staff member from the facility and the
schedule pending the outcome of the investigation. The investigation protocol should generally take the
following action: interview the resident, the accused or witness. If there was no direct witness, then the
interviews may be expanded to employees and residents. If the accused was an employee, then review the
employment records. After the investigation has been completed, we will determine if modification to
policies is needed and complete staff training.
Interview on 03/15/24 at 2:18 P.M. with the Business Office Manager (BOM) #117 and Corporate BOM
#300 revealed the son was notified that his mom had too much in her resident funds account and the
money needed spent down. The son was not able to spend the money and asked the facility to spend the
money down. The facility wrote a check out to the Administrator in November of 2023 for $2,500.00 and
staff went to Walmart and bought $346.49 worth of items for the resident. The remaining $2,153.51 was
placed in an envelope in the safe and had been forgotten about until the son inquired about her account
and requested receipts on 02/23/24. The BOM reported she did not reconcile the cash or place it back into
the resident fund account. There was no account for the money. On 02/26/24 when she was gathering
information for the son, she had realized there was $389.00 missing from the envelope. The Administrator
and herself were the only ones that had codes to the safe. The BOM denied misappropriating the funds.
The Corporate BOM #300 confirmed the facility did not follow accounting principles and should have placed
the remaining $2,153.51 back into the resident funds account. The BOM reported sometime this year
but,could not provide which month, the safe was left open by the Administrator. She reconciled the two lock
boxes, however never reconciled Resident #68's money envelope to ensure all the money was accounted
for. The facility has cameras in the hallways; however, they were not utilized as part of the investigation.
There were only four staff that were interviewed that may have had access to the BOM office. The staff
confirmed residents were not interviewed to ensure money was not misappropriated from their rooms as
part of the investigation, or was the Administrator or BOM suspended during the investigation (they were
the only two with codes to the safe). The BOM and Administrator were also the ones that did the initial
audits after it was identified money was missing out of the safe. The Corporate BOM did not conduct her
audit until 03/01/24 (three days after the findings).

Review of the facility policy titled Resident Trust dated 02/01/20 revealed it was the facility policy to maintain
accurate, organized records for all resident funds activity. All records were to be maintained according to
the facility's State regulations. The person that disburses the funds cannot be the same person posting the
funds and reconciling. The Administrator BOM, or designee is responsible for accounting for all funds
during reconciliation daily. The daily count sheet must be completed and signed daily.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the facility policy and procedure titled Abuse dated 11/01/16 and revised 01/31/20 revealed
residents had the right to be free from misappropriation of resident property. It was the facility policy to
investigate all alleged violations. If a staff member was accused or suspected of misappropriation of
resident property, the facility should immediately remove that staff member from the facility and the
schedule pending the outcome of the investigation. The investigation protocol should generally take the
following action: interview the resident, the accused or witness. If there was no direct witness, then the
interviews may be expanded to employees and residents. If the accused was an employee, then review the
employment records. After the investigation has been completed, we will determine if modification to
policies is needed and complete staff training.
Interview on 03/15/24 at 2:18 P.M. with the Business Office Manager (BOM) #117 and Corporate BOM
#300 revealed the son was notified that his mom had too much in her resident funds account and the
money needed spent down. The son was not able to spend the money and asked the facility to spend the
money down. The facility wrote a check out to the Administrator in November of 2023 for $2,500.00 and
staff went to Walmart and bought $346.49 worth of items for the resident. The remaining $2,153.51 was
placed in an envelope in the safe and had been forgotten about until the son inquired about her account
and requested receipts on 02/23/24. The BOM reported she did not reconcile the cash or place it back into
the resident fund account. There was no account for the money. On 02/26/24 when she was gathering
information for the son, she had realized there was $389.00 missing from the envelope. The Administrator
and herself were the only ones that had codes to the safe. The BOM denied misappropriating the funds.
The Corporate BOM #300 confirmed the facility did not follow accounting principles and should have placed
the remaining $2,153.51 back into the resident funds account. The BOM reported sometime this year
but,could not provide which month, the safe was left open by the Administrator. She reconciled the two lock
boxes, however never reconciled Resident #68 money envelope to ensure all the money was accounted for.
The facility has cameras in the hallways; however, they were not utilized as part of the investigation. There
were only four staff that were interviewed that may have had access to the BOM office. The staff confirmed
residents were not interviewed to ensure money was not misappropriated from their rooms as part of the
investigation, or was the Administrator or BOM suspended during the investigation (they were the only two
with codes to the safe). The BOM and Administrator were also the ones that did the initial audits after it was
identified money was missing out of the safe. The Corporate BOM did not conduct her audit until 03/01/24
(three days after the findings).
