Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to have sufficient resources to satisfy (pay) debts timely and when they come due. The
facility had a past due balance of 4 months with the water vendor with a disconnection notice given with a
date that had already passed; and a past due balance of 3 months with the fire vendor for services

delivery of essential care and services. This failure could affect the 31 residents who utilized services
provided and paid for by the facility.

Record review of invoices provided by the Administrator on 6/3/25 indicated unpaid balances for the
following:

2025.
In an interview on 6/3/25 at 11:46 am, the Administrator said when the facility receives a bill, it is forward to

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Some
1/6/25 when the fire department responded to false fire alarms. The [Fire Vendor] reviewed the facility's
account yesterday and was considering having the facility's fire alarm disconnected and putting them on a
fire watch for a past due balance. The [NAME] Administrator said the facility had a water bill that was 4
months past due for $6907.95. The [Water Vendor] issued a disconnect notice for 6/15/25 if the past due
balance was not paid. The facility did not pay; however, water services will not be disconnected due to it
being a nursing home. The [NAME] Administrator has emailed, sent certified letters, and talked to the CEO
on the phone but it has done no good.
In an interview on 6/3/25 at 2:22 pm, the COO stated the CEO was not available for interview. She said the
process for bill payment was when the facility receives a bill, it is passed on to Accounts Payable which was
an independent company. Every Monday, Accounts Payable and the CEO have a meeting and a decision
was made on which bills to pay. She said she only has the ability to pay bills on an emergency basis. She
said she just paid the 2 outstanding bills, today, for the [Fire Vendor] for $1000 and the past due balance for
the [Water Vendor] for $6907.95.
In an interview on 6/4/25 at 12:35 pm, the CEO said the 2 bills were paid and caught up yesterday, 6/3/25.
He said bills are sent to an independent company for review and payment. The CEO said he did not
remember there being past due balances for the [Water Vendor or Fire Vendor] or talking to anyone about
them; he said the [Water Vendor] bill should not have gotten that far behind. He said he was going to find
out where the breakdown occurred.
In observations of the facility on 6/3/25 and 6/4/25 revealed the facility had water services.
A facility policy was requested regarding vendor payment but not provided prior to exit on 06/04/2025.
