Based on review of resident accounts and interview, the facility failed to ensure accurate accounting of resident funds were maintained. 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. A liability payment of $1102.00 was withdrawn from Resident #93's account on 01/01/23. No liability was withdrawn in February or March 2023.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#100 verified no pension deposit was posted in January 2023 and was unable to explain why the patient liability was not withdrawn from the account (full amount) in January or any liability withdrawn in February or March 2023.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.

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.

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.
