This affected one (Resident #93) of three residents reviewed for resident funds. The facility identified a total of 58 residents, both current and discharged , who had funds maintained by the facility. Findings include: Review of Resident #93's quarterly fund statement for the first quarter of 2023 revealed social security funds were credited to the account on 01/01/23 and twice on 03/01/23. No pension funds were documented as deposited in January 2023. Pension funds were deposited in February and March of 2023.

During review of resident personal funds accounts with Business Office Manager (BOM) #100 on 09/06/23 between 1:45 P.M. and 2:02 P.M., BOM #100 revealed Resident #93 had a patient liability amount of $1169.00 starting 01/01/23. BOM #100 verified no pension deposit was posted in January 2023 and was unable to explain why the patient liability was not withdrawn from the account (full amount) in January or any liability withdrawn in February or March 2023. The BOM verified this was not maintaining accurate records of resident accounts. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00145438.

F 0569 Notify each resident of certain balances and convey resident funds upon discharge, eviction, or death. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on resident funds account review, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure conveyance of resident funds within 30 days of discharge or death. This affected three (Residents #93, #94, and #95) of three residents reviewed for personal funds. The census was 92. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #94's closed medical record revealed an admission date of [DATE] with diagnoses including cerebral infarction, depression, epilepsy and type two diabetes mellitus. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #94 was usually able to understand others. Resident #94 was assessed as moderately cognitively impaired. Resident #94 discharged to another facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident #94's personal funds consent dated [DATE] revealed Resident #94 authorized the facility to manage his personal money while he was a resident. Upon discharge, the account would be closed and the funds would be returned to Resident #94. The facility was to furnish a final statement no later than 30 days after discharge. If upon discharge, the resident had unpaid charges, the resident authorized the facility to use his personal needs account funds to pay those charges prior to refusing any excess funds to the resident. Review of Resident #94's quarterly trust fund statements for the first and second quarters of 2023 revealed deposits from Social Security on a monthly basis with interest deposited. No withdrawals from the account were documented. Review of the resident funds balance reports as of [DATE] revealed Resident #94 continued to have funds in the amount of $9659.82 at the facility. During an interview with Business Office Manager (BOM) #100 on [DATE] between 1:45 P.M. and 2:02 P.M., she reported the facility started receiving Resident #94's Social Security funds in [DATE]. Resident #94 discharged to another facility [DATE].

BOM #100 indicated a representative from the Department of Jobs and Family Services was notified Resident #94 was in the facility at the end of 2022 (no actual date available). Because the facility had never been informed if Resident #94 would have patient liability the facility had chosen to hold the remainder of the funds until they received a determination. BOM #100 stated she had phoned a representative from the Department of Jobs and Family Services again on [DATE]. On [DATE] at 2:34 P.M., BOM #100 stated she received a return call from Department of Job and Family Services and was informed there would be no patient liability retro charged so she could release the balance of Resident #94's funds. 2. Review of Resident #93's census information revealed notations that Resident #93 had a hospital leave on [DATE]. Another notation revealed Resident #93 expired at the hospital under hospice care on [DATE].
