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payment of $1102.00 was withdrawn from Resident #93's account on 01/01/23. No liability was withdrawn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unable to explain why the patient liability was not withdrawn from the account (full amount) in January or
any liability withdrawn in February or March 2023.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.

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]. The facility sent a check to Resident #94 in the amount of $750
on [DATE] which accounted for a $50 allowance per month since the facility started receiving Resident
#94's funds. BOM #100 stated the facility had never been informed of a patient liability amount for Resident
#94. 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].
