Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview on 01/06/25 at 1:56 PM with Medical Records/Central Supply, she stated residents coming into the facility had to have their items inventoried by either the receptionist, admission Coordinator, or the Guest Relations personnel. Medical Records/Central Supply stated once those different department inventory the residents' items then they had to submit it to her so she could enter it into PCC. Medical Records/Central Supply stated the family or visitor who brought in items for the residents needed to declare it to the receptionist or the nurses so it could be inventoried and submitted to her to put into the residents' chart. Medical Records/Central Supply stated there would be no negative outcome if the residents' items were not inventoried. Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 01/06/25 at 2:19 PM, with the admission Coordinator, she stated residents coming into the facility needed to have their personal belonging inventoried, so the facility knew what they came with and what they had during their stay at the facility. The admission Coordinator stated anybody could inventory the items of a resident. The admission Coordinator stated she had only seen three inventory sheets dating: 02/03/23, 08/10/23 (the document was incomplete and not signed off on) and 02/20/24. The admission Coordinator stated the 08/10/23 inventory sheet needed to be complete for accuracy and completion. The admission Coordinator stated the negative outcome of not completing the inventory sheet or not inventory the item would be something getting lost or there was no record of it. During an interview on 01/06/24 at 3:58 PM with the DON, he stated resident items needed to be documented and inventoried. The DON stated the negative outcome would be that it did not happen, and someone could say someone stole something from them.

Record review of the facility's, undated, Resident Inventory Policy revealed, Items of sentimental value DO need to be documented. After completing the inventory, upload it and file the original copy in the resident thin record. *** If a resident acquires items after the initial completion of the inventory list, the new items must be added to the inventory list. ** Record review of the facility's Official Letter signed off by Family Member B, dated 12/11/24, revealed, This document was to confirm that the facility [facility name] was reimbursing Family Member B resident representative Thirty Dollars in cash for a blanket.
