personal bank account using his bank debit card. Interview revealed he had given his debit card with PIN
number to a facility staff member to purchase cigarettes and food from outside. Resident stated he asked
the Business Office staff to check his bank balance and that is how he came to know about this incident.
Resident stated the facility staff had come to speak to him about this. He stated he felt sorry for that
employee and that the employee lost her job. Resident stated he was not afraid of any staff, and he was not
giving his bank card to any employee anymore. Resident stated the Law Enforcement had come to talk to
him about it after the ADM reported this incident to the police. Resident stated after 06/24/2024, he went to
the business office to get money and gave that money to the Activity Department to buy his cigarettes.
Resident stated he was not going without any of his immediate needs at that time.
In a phone interview on 12/13/2024 at 02:11 PM AA revealed she used to work at the facility as an
Activities Assistant, and she was no longer employed at the facility. AA refused to talk about the allegation
of misapproriation of personal property.

residents in purchasing food/cigarettes or anything they wanted from outside the facility or the vending

candy from outside stores and she was supposed to put all receipts for review in a folder. AA was not doing
it and later, after the AA was suspended, she found all the receipts from the business office while she was
cleaning the shelves. She stated there were cash withdrawals made from stores as per some of the
receipts and to do that, the AA had access to Resident #1's card PIN. She stated she did not review any of
the receipts brought by AA since she trusted her with Resident #1's bank card and she should have
checked them to prevent any misappropriation. She stated she now had a better system in place for all her
assistants to document when they go to buy something for a resident, and she reviewed all the receipts.

resident at a risk of losing their savings and going without any money to buy the things they enjoyed. She

incident. She stated she was not aware of any such exploitation/misappropriation allegations against any

account via ATM withdrawals, using it to pay bills with Spectrum internet, at Footlocker footwear store and

room but did not find any new footwear/athletic gear. She stated she immediately notified the facility Abuse
Coordinator, which was the administrator, and the administrator immediately called the police and reported

property. No negative outcomes were found on the safe survey conducted for residents and staff. During the

stated he no longer used his debit card and his check went to the facility trust fund account.

those resident's requests. She stated at least one more resident, Resident #2 gave his debit card to the
employees. She stated it was true that if an employee used a resident's debit card for ATM cash withdrawal,
she or the resident will only know if they check the bank statements/transactions. She stated Resident #2
who gave his debit card and PIN to the employee was in his right mind and he regularly checked his bank
statements. She stated there was no potential for misuse/exploitation at that time since only alert residents
were giving their bank cards to the employees.
An interview with the Administrator on 12/23/2024 at 03:28 PM revealed the residents who wanted to
purchase outside items could still use their bank debit cards. He stated he was not aware of any resident

Department for outside purchases. He stated there were no concerns about exploitation since the Activity

restricting them from giving their debit card to the Activity Department employees. He said he could not
regulate that his employees did not buy anything for residents using their debit cards. He stated the system
they had in place was adequate to ensure the safety of the resident bank accounts, and all the employees
were in serviced and educated on Misappropriation of property. He stated his investigation of the
