F 0607 Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement their policy on resident possessions when it failed to return belongings to the family of one of five sampled residents (Resident 1) when a 42-inch television belonging the Resident 1 was not returned to her family when Resident 1 was discharged from the facility. Residents Affected - Few This failure resulted in Resident 1's family not receiving Resident 1's 42-inch television upon Resident 1's discharge. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR) , dated 6/16/25, the AR indicated she was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The AR indicated Resident 1 was discharged on 5/2/24. During an interview on 6/17/25, at 3:22 p.m., with Family Member (FM) 1, FM 1 stated Resident 1's family had purchased her a 42-inch television to use while in the facility. FM 1 stated that when Resident 1 was discharged from the facility in May 2025, the 42-inch television was never returned. During an interview on 6/18/25, at 12:35 p.m., with the Social Services Director (SSD), the SSD recalled Resident 1's family bringing her a television. The SSD stated, We just looked through the inventory of personal belongings, it was never put on the inventory. But I do know it was her personal TV. The facility did not buy her the TV. No TV is listed on her inventory, so it's not on her discharge inventory list, that's why it was not returned to her. Staff should have noticed the appearance of a 42-inch TV and added it to her inventory list. I know that our maintenance staff mounted this TV on her wall for her. The SSD stated the TV may still be in Resident 1's former room. During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/18/25, at 12:40 p.m., with the SSD, the facility's Grievance / Theft & Loss Tracking Log (GTLTL) , dated 11/23/23, was reviewed. The GTLTL indicated Resident 1 had a Missing TV on 11/23/23 but was found on 12/8/23. The SSD stated during this time, Resident 1 went out to the hospital for a few days, and it was during this time the facility's maintenance staff mounted the TV on the wall of Resident 1's room. The SSD stated when Resident 1 returned to the facility, she mistakenly thought her TV was missing because it was not on a wooden table as she left it. The SSD stated the GTLTL is the only facility documentation of Resident 1 having a TV. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P), titled Resident Personal Belongings , undated, the P&P indicated, It is the policy of this facility to protect the resident's right to possess personal belongings, such as clothing and furnishings, for their use while in the facility. The facility will ensure that personal belongings and/or possessions are rightfully returned to the resident, or to the resident's representative, in the event of the resident's death or discharge from the facility. Additional possessions brought in during the duration of the individual's stay shall be added to the existing personal belongings inventory listing. Inventories of all items are to be reviewed and examined by the Social Services designee and the resident's representative. Recipients of such personal items at the time of discharge or death shall sign off with their legal signature, acknowledging receipt of all personal belongings presented.
