misappropriation was the deliberate misplacement, exploitation, or wrongful, temporary or permanent use
of a resident's belongings or money without the resident's consent. The employee who was told about or
first identified any type of abuse was to immediately report it to their immediate supervisor. The supervisor
was to gather all the facts regarding the incident and inform the Administrator. The Administrator was to
notify the department directors, appropriate officers of the organization, the legal guardian, spouse, and
responsible party. The investigation was to consists of written statements from the person reporting the
alleged violation, the suspected perpetrator, any witnesses, and the resident if possible. The Administrator
would submit an SRI to the state agency and would continue a thorough investigation into the incident and
file a final report with the state agency no later than five days working days of the incident.
