Based on record review, family and staff interview, the facility failed to provide evidence that quarterly statements from two of two resident (R) (R#11 and R#43) trust fund accounts reviewed were being sent to the responsible parties (RP). The facility handled a total of 56 resident accounts. Findings include: 1. During interview with R#11's RP on 8/28/18 at 9:01 a.m., revealed that the RP did not receive quarterly statements from the resident's trust fund account. He added during continued interview that he got these statements in the past, but did not get them now. Review of the facility's Trial Balance report dated 8/28/18, revealed that R#11 currently had a trust fund account being managed by the facility. During interview with the Financial Manager on 8/29/18 at 8:50 a.m., she stated that she sent out quarterly statements for the residents and RPs that wanted them, and that she pretty much just knew who these people were. She stated during further interview that she did mail quarterly statements to R#11's RP. Review of R#11's Resident Fund Management Service Statement for the Period 12/30/17 through 3/30/18 revealed that the resident's name and the address of the facility were on the statement, and it did not contain the RP's name and/or mailing address. During interview with the Financial Manager at this time, she stated that she had to look up RPs' addresses in the computer, and then handwrite the name and address on the outside of the envelope for all of the quarterly statements mailed to RPs. She stated during continued interview that she had no proof that the quarterly statements were being mailed to R#11's RP. During continued interview, the Financial Manager stated that she had never received any quarterly statements for the period of 4/1/18 through 6/30/18 from corporate, who managed the accounts, and stated that she mailed a Resident Statement Landscape report to the RPs, but could not provide evidence that this was done. 2. Review of the Trial Balance report revealed that the facility managed R#43's trust fund account. During interview with the Financial Manager on 8/30/18 at 11:56 a.m., she verified that R#43 had a trust fund account, and that her social security check went to the RP and not the facility. She stated during further interview that because of this, she did not provide a quarterly statement to the RP, and that the RP called her all the time to see if she needed to deposit more money in R#43's account. Review of facility policy entitled 'Resident Trust Policy' issued September, 2009, revealed: The resident shall have reasonable access, upon request, to a record of all transactions made to his/her account. Quarterly statements will be provided in writing to the resident or the resident's responsible representative within 30 days after the end of the quarter. |
