of Resident #4's checks and had attempted to deposit funds in the CNA's personal account. Resident #4's daughter reported she was notified, and the blank flagged the check. The check did not clear and there had been no transfer of funds. Interview with the Administrator on 06/12/25 at 11:45 A.M. revealed CNA #100 was hired on 02/09/24 and was terminated on 01/19/25. CNA #100 worked the 7:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. shift. The Administrator stated they were not aware of Resident #4's check being missing until they received a call from Resident #4's daughter on 05/06/25. Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 06/12/25 at 12:30 P.M. revealed the facility reached out several times to former CNA #100, however she never responded. The DON stated she compared the writing on the check, and it appeared to be CNA #100's handwriting. The DON reported CNA #100 signed the letter A in a unique manner that appeared the same on the check and other documents she had signed. Observation and interview on 06/12/25 at 3:49 P.M. of Resident #4's checkbook revealed the check numbers remaining in the checkbook started at 4414. There was no handwritten ledger. Interview with the Administrator at this time revealed there was only one check missing, check number 4413. Resident #4's daughter was the only one who has access to monthly statements. The Administrator stated the facility was unable to identify when the check went missing. CNA #100 could have taken the check when Resident #4 was sleeping. She stated Resident #4's daughter lived out of town and was adamant that Resident #4 had her checkbook. Since the incident, the facility had secured the checkbook in the office but ensured Resident #4 could have access to her checkbook whenever needed.
