out and signed the log. It was then passed to the person receiving the cash and the log was signed by that
person. She stated the BOM did not have a witness or that second person observe the transaction. She
stated during a corporate audit the issue with the BOM not having a witness when she dispensed cash was
found. She stated corporate called and asked for the Resident Trust Fund Petty Cash Log report that she
was not aware she needed to submit, at that point they conducted an audit. She stated that corporate was
conducting the investigation, so she was not fully aware of all details at this time. She stated she did not
believe there were any funds missing, it was a process that was not being followed. A telephone interview
was attempted with the facility BOM on 09/30/2025 at 3:01 pm and 3:45pm. without success. A message
was left on the telephone and requested a call back. (No call was received prior to exit.)An interview with
corporate BOM on 09/30/2025 at 3:07 pm, revealed during an audit it was found that the business office
manager was not following proper procedures. She stated her manager(regional BOM) would be able to
give greater detail about the situation and provided a number for her.An interview with Regional Business
Office Manager on 09/30/2025 03:26 pm she stated they found an issue where the BOM was not having a
witness and witness signature when the BOM passed out funds. Corporate audited several resident's
records and Resident #5 was the only one they had questions about. She stated some transactions had
witnesses and other's only had the business office manager's signature. When corporate staff talked to
Resident #5 she reported she never got more than $50 At that point the corporate office was not sure if
Resident #5 was being sincere or deceitful. The corporate office decided for every transaction over $50 they
would reimburse the resident the difference and came up with $310. During the corporate investigation they
were provided receipt from a clothing purchase for almost $200 (provided by Resident #5 for the same time
period.). Regional BOM stated they still covered the $150. Corporate staff confirmed they do not believe
that BOM took any money, she was just not following the proper policy for disbursement of funds and the
police were notified. The corporate office reconciled the funds and found no discrepancies other than the
procedure was not followed. The Regional BOM stated they understood that the resident does have
cognitive issues and may not remember the exact amounts, but the corporation did not want to appear like
they were hiding anything, So the $310 was the amount we thought was most accurate. There was a
corporate training class at the end of August 2025, for all of the business office managers and the facility
BOM was present. Effective September 1, 2025, the facility BOM should have been followed the policy from
that point on. (No evidence of training was provided.)An interview with the administrator on 10/17/2025 at
12:05 pm revealed the BOM had not returned to the building since 09/22/2025 when she was suspended
and was terminated effective 10/10/2025. She stated that after the initial findings she decided to terminate
the BOM. She stated the BOM was scheduled to come in on 10/08/2025 for a meeting but never showed
up. The termination papers were signed on 10/10/2025. Review of punch detail for BOM dated September
2025 reflected BOM's last day worked was on 09/22/2025.
