**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review including review of facility payroll records, review of facility billing/financial
information, review of the [NAME] County Treasurer report, review of the facility assessment, review of the
employee handbook, review of the facility admission agreement, review of the facility Abuse/Neglect policy
and procedure and interviews, the facility neglected to meet financial obligations for the delivery of care and
maintenance and to operate in a manner to ensure all bills were being paid timely to prevent potential
interruption in services and to meet the total care needs of all residents admitted to and/or retained in the
facility and failed to have adequate and effective systems in place to ensure staff were compensated via
payroll benefits based on their hired agreement and payroll schedule. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy
beginning on 10/13/23 when the identified lack of financial solvency placed all facility residents at risk for
serious harm, injury, hospital, displacement due to potential interruption in staffing regarding non-payment
of payroll benefits and continued due to non-payment of essential bills. This had the potential to affect all 42
residents residing in the facility.
On 12/12/23 at 9:01 A.M. the Administrator and the Director of Nursing (DON) were notified Immediate
Jeopardy began on 10/13/23 when an onsite investigation determined the facility neglected to meet all
financial obligations for the delivery of care and maintenance of the facility by not paying vendors and staff
in a timely manner. This included insufficient funds to make payroll on 10/13/23, a city water disconnect
notice due to non-payment and/or returned checks due to insufficient funds, an electric company
disconnect notice due to non-payment and/or returned checks due to insufficient funds, non-payment for
therapy services resulting in a change of providers and non-payment for the current therapy services,
delinquent property taxes since 02/2021, telephone company disconnect notice due to non-payment and/or
returned checks due to insufficient funds, and the inability to meet the total care needs of the residents
admitted to and/or retained in the facility.
The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 12/14/23 when the facility implemented the following corrective
actions:
•
On 11/28/23 at 10:30 A.M. the Assistant Administrator and the DON verified the residents had the needed
supplies (food, oxygen, medication, medical supplies) to meet the needs of the residents.

A.M. Attendees included the Administrator, Assistant Administrator, DON, [NAME] Date Set (MDS)
Registered Nurse (RN) #8, Social Service Director (SSD) #64, Business Office Manager (BOM) #116,
Therapy Director #230, Infection Preventionist (IP) Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #112, and Unit Manage
LPN #120. The Medical Director was notified via phone. The results of all audits and interventions will be
brought to the facility's monthly QAPI meeting for three months and as needed for review and
recommendations.
Residents Affected - Many
Although the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 12/14/23, the facility remained out of compliance at a
Severity Level 2 (no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy)
as the facility was still in the process of implementing their corrective action and monitoring to ensure
compliance.
Findings Include:
On 12/05/23 at 1:10 P.M. an interview with the Administrator revealed he was the Administrator at this
facility as well as a sister facility, Astoria Place of Cambridge. The Administrator stated he was unaware of
the extent of the financial issues this facility was experiencing until the complaint survey was in-progress at
Astoria Place of Cambridge. The Administrator shared corrective actions from Astoria Place of Cambridge
were also implemented at this facility, beginning on 11/28/23.
On 12/06/23 at 2:35 P.M. an interview with Business Office Manager (BOM) #46 revealed most facility bills
were sent directly from vendors to Epic Healthcare Solutions (the facility management company located in
Florida). All bills and invoices received at the facility were scanned and emailed directly to Stampli
(company that processes and pays invoices) every Wednesday. There was no evidence these bills were
monitored to ensure they were being paid in a timely manner or to ensure payments were made as
required to prevent outstanding balances or termination notices for the facility. Payroll information was sent
to the corporation on a Monday and paper checks were sent overnight to the facility for payday (every other
Friday).
On 12/07/23 at 2:40 P.M. an interview with the Administrator regarding the facility finances and
billing/payment process revealed BOM #46 would forward invoices and bills received at the facility to
Stampli via email. The Administrator revealed the facility did not pay any of the vendors directly for services
rendered at the facility, the payments were being made by an accounts payable department based in
Florida. There was no evidence the facility had a comprehensive and effective system in place to monitor
the financial solvency of the facility, to ensure bills were being paid timely, vendors were paid the amount
due and/or the facility was meeting all financial obligations.
The following financial solvency concerns were identified (to include but not limited to) the following as a
result of the complaint investigation:
a. On 12/05/23 at 2:25 P.M. an interview with the Administrator revealed there were 14 employees who did
not receive paychecks on 10/13/23 as their checks were returned due to insufficient funds. The
Administrator did not provide any additional information as to why payroll was not met for these employees
on this date.
On 12/05/23 at 1:25 P.M. an interview with Housekeeping Staff #74 revealed they had a paycheck from

returned due to insufficient funds.
On 12/07/23 at 2:40 P.M. interview with the Administrator revealed BOM #46 sent payroll information to
corporate on a Monday and paper checks were sent overnight to the facility for payday (every other Friday).
The Administrator stated paper checks had been used for several months but he was unsure why this was
changed from direct deposit. Further interview revealed the Administrator called corporate on 10/13/23
when his check was returned for insufficient funds and again on 10/16/23 when the checks for 13 additional
employees were returned on 10/16/23 due to insufficient funds. The Administrator identified himself, the
Director of Nursing (DON), the Assistant Administrator, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #210, Activity
Director #56, Marketing Director #14, Dietary Director #98, Dietary Staff #88, #90 and #96, Housekeeping
Staff #12, #74 and #218, and Maintenance Director #54 who had payroll checks returned due to insufficient
funds. The 14 staff (the Administrator, DON, the Assistant Administrator, LPN #210, Activity Director #56,
Marketing Director #14, Dietary Director #98, Dietary Staff #88, #90, #96, Housekeeping Staff #12, #74,
#218 and Maintenance Director #54) identified were verified with facility payroll records to have payroll
checks dispersed and dated 10/13/23.
Review of the undated facility Employee Handbook revealed employees would receive their pay
reimbursement for hours worked either through Pay Card or Direct Deposit. During orientation, the human
resources representative would assist with signing up for either direct deposit or a Pay Card.
b. The following vendor/suppliers were reviewed as part of the State agency investigation with financial
solvency concerns including but not limited to the following:
1. Review of the statement issued by [NAME] Innovative Management Partners, dated 11/18/23, revealed
the facility owed a balance of $133,353.10 with invoices dated back to June 2023. The facility owed the
amount of $77,020.88 that was over 90 days past due. This vendor was the facility's previous food supply
vendor.
On 12/05/23 at 1:50 P.M. an interview with Dietary Director (DD) #98 revealed food service vendors were
changed from [NAME] Distributors on 10/28/23 to [NAME] Food Services starting 10/29/23. DD #98 stated
the previous food budget was set at $1,700.00 per week, which was a low dollar amount and made it
difficult to order needed food items due to the increased food costs. DD #98 revealed she would have to
borrow items from her emergency food supply to

2. Review of a bill from Barnesville Water Department, dated 11/21/23, revealed the facility account was
delinquent with an amount due of $2,498.27. The bill included, if payment was not received by 12/05/23,
service would be terminated without further notice.
Review of check #1006, from Bank of Oklahoma, dated 12/01/23 revealed payment of $2,498.27 made to
the order of Barnesville Water Department.
On 12/11/23 at 9:34 A.M. an interview with Barnesville Water Department Clerk #330 revealed a check
payment was received on 12/05/23 for $2,298.27 and the payment was deposited on 12/05/23. However, on
12/08/23 there was a notice the payment had been returned due to an incorrect routing number on the
check. Barnesville Water department Clerk #330 confirmed the
recent bill dated 11/21/23 was a delinquent notice with possible termination of services if the amount was
not paid by 12/05/23. Further interview with the clerk revealed concerns the facility/Epic Healthcare
Solutions was always late on their payments for water services.
On 12/15/23 at 11:01 A.M. an additional interview with Barnesville Water Department Clerk #330 revealed
the delinquent statements are sent out to accounts which have a history of late
payments. Epic Healthcare Solutions has a history of having late payments with the water department and
would only send payment once the delinquent notice was received for the amount due including a 10% late
fee. She also verified it is their practice to issue the shut off notice if payment is not received, and the facility
was addressed in the same manner as a
residence.

Service Representative #377 revealed the facility had a current outstanding account balance of $10,891.71
due 12/29/23. A past due balance of $7,876.57 was due immediately. Per the representative, there were no
pending payments noted to be on the account as of this date (12/13/23).

Establish a governing body that is legally responsible for establishing and implementing policies for
managing and operating the facility and appoints a properly licensed administrator responsible for
managing the facility.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, facility policy review and interview, the facility failed to establish an effective governing board,
legally responsible to establish and implement policies regarding the management and operation of the
facility, including but not limited to compliance with all financial obligations for the delivery of care and
maintenance. This had the potential to affect all 42 residents in the facility.
Findings include:
Review of the facility's undated Governing Body policy revealed the Governing Body had a fiduciary duty,
duty of care, and duty of loyalty to act in the best interests of the Facility. The governing body should be
comprised of the operator (s), c-suite level executives, and other individuals who were legally responsible
for the establishment and implementation of policies regarding management and operations of the facility.
The Governing Body member responsibilities included to be active, engaged, and involved in the affairs of
the facility and to have direct access to the administrator and to the compliance and ethics officer by
scheduling executive board sessions with the compliance and ethics officer that allows for a free flow of
information without potential for conflict.
Review of the administrator job description revealed he worked with the office manager to disburse money,
record transactions, and obtain receipts for any monetary transactions. The job description indicated the
administrator was ultimately responsible for petty cash and all accounts receivable; and establishing
contracts with consultants and reviewing and evaluating the consultant reports and recommendations.
Review of the facility assessment dated [DATE] revealed the facility provided all care and services as
required in the requirements of participation including, but not limited to assistance with activities of daily
living, personal care services, medication administration, pain management, infection prevention and
control, nutritional services, skin care, fall and injury prevention, pharmacy, and therapy services.
Additionally, the facility provided medical director, attending physicians, physician assistants, nurse
practitioners, dentist, podiatrist, ophthalmologist, and psychiatrist services, and pharmacist.
The governing body consisted of Chief Financial Officer #600, Chief Executive Officer #601, and Chief
Nursing Officer/Compliance Officer #602.
Interview on 12/12/23 at 10:33 A.M. Chief Financial Officer (CFO) #600 revealed most of the facility bills
were handled at the corporate office so the facility staff could focus on residents. CFO #600 stated the
corporate office was located in Florida. CFO #600 indicated there was close contact with vendors via email
or telephone. When asked if there had been any disconnection notices in the last six months, CFO #600
stated no services had been disconnected but they would have to check to see if there were any
disconnection notices. When asked about a disconnect notice from Barnesville Water Department,
American Electric Power (AEP) and American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T), and three checks being
returned due to incorrect routing number, CFO #600 stated the reason for the most recent vendor
payments had been returned was due to the new program offered through Bank of Oklahoma which
required a routing number to be assigned prior to checks being sent out as payment. When Epic sent out
the checks at the beginning of December the new program had not been implemented completely with
