Review of the account revealed the balance had not dropped below the $2200.00 limit since 06/03/22. Review of the quarterly statements revealed they were signed by the resident's representative. A spend-down letter dated 07/18/22 addressed to Resident #19 informed the resident their balance was within $200.00 or exceeding what was allowable under Medical Assistance. The letter directed Resident #19 to contact the Social Worker within the next seven days to discuss ways to assure continuance of Medicaid benefits. Review of the facility Resident Personal Funds policy (revised 09/2017) included Notice of Balance Medicaid recipients are subject to strict resource limits to remain eligible for the Medicaid program.

The last time he saw it was prior to his recent hospitalization. He gave permission for them to check his room in case it was misplaced. The items were not able to be found. A nurse's note dated 09/13/22 revealed Resident #26 was offered a lock box with a key for his valuables. It did not indicate the resident was reimbursed for the amount he had reported was lost. No additional progress notes were noted that pertained to any further follow up of his reports of missing money/ gift card.

reported he lost 20 dollars and a gift card. Resident #26 was indicated to have been able to provide meaningful information when interviewed. A narrative summary of the incident revealed the date/ time/ location of the occurrence was 09/04/22 at 12:00 P.M. in the resident's room. The resident and staff were interviewed for any knowledge of the situation or additional missing items. No additional information was identified. The resident stated he hadn't seen his money since he went to the hospital on [DATE]. He returned on 08/18/22 and he just then opened his wallet on 09/04/22. The resident had been ordering food to be delivered on almost a daily basis because he had money available. Recently, he no longer had money available and it was unusual for him not to order food. It was thought to be unlikely that he went two weeks before he opened his wallet or ordered take out food. In the past, he had also been known to try to sell his gift card because he was unable to use the gift card in that rural area. The facility unsubstantiated the allegation of misappropriation as the evidence was inconclusive and misappropriation was not suspected. As a result of the investigation, the facility provided the resident a locked box. Staff were educated on the abuse policy and the DON was educated to save and submit when submitting an SRI. The facility denied Resident #26 had a personal funds account with them and did not have any way to track his transactions made pertaining to any money he may have had.

He thought the money was missing around September or October of 2022. He reported it missing to staff and indicated the facility's DON filled out the report. He denied he received any follow up on his reports of missing money and was not reimbursed for the money or the value of the gift card that went missing. On 02/14/23 at 4:50 P.M., an interview with the DON confirmed Resident #26 did report a gift card and 20 dollars missing. She stated he reported the items missing upon return from a hospitalization. She confirmed they did give him a lock box to keep in his room for safekeeping of any valuables. She was asked if the resident was reimbursed for the reported missing items. She stated they were not able to show he had those items prior to reporting them missing, therefore they were not reimbursed. On 02/15/23 at 10:10 A.M., a follow up interview with the DON and the Administrator revealed Resident #26 was reimbursed for the value of the missing CVS gift card and the 20 dollars. They were unable to find evidence of where that money had been pulled from to reimburse the resident. They checked with the business office manager, who indicated without the resident having funds with the business office, they would not have pulled any cash from their petty cash fund to give to the resident. The Administrator indicated they had another petty cash fund in which that money was pulled from, but they did not have documentation to prove that. She denied there was any type of paper trail that showed the resident was given 70 dollars (value of gift card and the 20 dollar bill) after he reported them missing. On 02/15/23 at 10:15 A.M., a follow up interview with Resident #26 revealed the resident was adamant he was not reimbursed for the amounts of his gift card and the 20 dollars (70 dollars total) as indicated by the facility.

reported he lost 20 dollars and a gift card. Resident #26 was indicated to have been able to provide meaningful information when interviewed. A narrative summary of the incident revealed the date/ time/ location of the occurrence was 09/04/22 at 12:00 P.M. in the resident's room. The resident and staff were interviewed for any knowledge of the situation or additional missing items. No additional information was identified. The resident stated he hadn't seen his money since he went to the hospital on [DATE]. He returned on 08/18/22 and he just then opened his wallet on 09/04/22. The resident had been ordering food to be delivered on almost a daily basis because he had money available. Recently, he no longer had money available and it was unusual for him not to order food. It was thought to be unlikely that he went two weeks before he opened his wallet or ordered take out food. In the past, he had also been known to try to sell his gift card because he was unable to use the gift card in that rural area. The facility unsubstantiated the allegation of misappropriation as the evidence was inconclusive and misappropriation was not suspected. As a result of the investigation, the facility provided the resident a locked box. Staff were educated on the abuse policy and the DON was educated to save and submit when submitting an SRI. The facility denied Resident #26 had a personal funds account with them and did not have any way to track his transactions made pertaining to any money he may have had. They did not have a way to track what money he received or what money he spent on ordering food from outside sources. On 02/14/23 at 10:53 A.M., an interview with Resident #26 revealed he did have a 20 dollar bill and a 50 dollar gift card that came up missing from his wallet when he was out to the hospital. He thought the money was missing around September or October of 2022. He reported it missing to staff and indicated the facility's DON filled out the report. He denied he received any follow up on his reports of missing money and was not reimbursed for the money or the value of the gift card that went missing. On 02/14/23 at 4:50 P.M., an interview with the DON confirmed Resident #26 did report a gift card and 20 dollars missing. She stated he reported the items missing upon return from a hospitalization. She confirmed they did give him a lock box to keep in his room for safekeeping of any valuables. She was asked if the resident was reimbursed for the reported missing items. She stated they were not able to show he had those items prior to reporting them missing, therefore they were not reimbursed. She verified the SRI with tracking #226546 was not initially reported to the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) until 09/09/22 (5 days after allegation was made). She also verified the SRI showed staff were educated on the abuse policy and she received education to save and submit when submitting an SRI. On 02/15/23 at 10:10 A.M., a follow up interview with the DON and the Administrator revealed Resident #26 was reimbursed for the value of the missing CVS gift card and the 20 dollars. They were unable to find evidence of where that money had been pulled from to reimburse the resident. They checked with the business office manager, who indicated without the resident having funds with the business office, they would not have pulled any cash from their petty cash fund to give to the resident. The Administrator indicated they had another petty cash fund in which that money was pulled from, but they did not have documentation to prove that. She denied there was any type of paper trail that showed the resident was given 70 dollars (value of gift card and the 20 dollar bill) after he reported them missing. On 02/15/23 at 10:15 A.M., a follow up interview with Resident #26 revealed the resident was adamant he was not reimbursed for the amounts of his gift card and the 20 dollars (70 dollars total) as indicated by the facility.

The treatment was to be done daily in the afternoon and as needed. The order had been in place since 01/03/23. A review of Resident #31's care plans revealed she had a care plan in place for having been admitted with actual impaired skin integrity/ Stage IV pressure ulcer to her coccyx. The interventions included monitor the wound for signs and symptoms of infection. They were to provide wound care per the physician's orders. On 02/15/23 at 2:48 P.M., an observation of Resident #31's pressure ulcer dressing change was completed as performed by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #54. The nurse was observed to gather the supplies from the treatment cart in the hall that was needed to perform the resident's ordered treatment. She had disposable gloves on when gathering the supplies and removed the gloves before heading to the resident's room. She did not wash her hands before donning new gloves after entering the resident's room. She sat the treatment supplies directly on the resident's bed beside the resident. She was observed to remove the old dressing from the resident's wound indicating that the dressing had a moderate amount of a yellowish-colored drainage.
