Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to provide a quarterly financial statement of a resident trust fund account for one resident (R) (#51). The deficient practice had the potential to affect 112 residents with trust fund accounts managed by the facility. Findings include: Review of a Resident Funds Accounts document with no revision date revealed that the Center shall furnish residents/patients with quarterly statements at the end of each calendar quarter. Record review for R#51 revealed a Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment which documented a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) summary score of 03, indicating severe cognitive impairment. During an interview on 12/18/17 at 2:32 p.m., with a Family member of R#51 revealed that she does not get quarterly statements and that her mother has been in the facility for 5 years. Family stated that they will tell her how much is in there if she asks. Review of the Resident Statement Landscape from 6/1/17 through 12/4/17 revealed R#51 to have an open Resident Trust Fund Account. No documentation was available to indicate that quarterly statements had been issued. Interview with Business Office Staff CC on 12/21/17 at 3:16 p.m. revealed that she has no idea how or when quarterly statements were sent out prior to the new company taking over on 10/1/17. She stated that the Business Office Manager recently quit and that she was responsible for the resident trust fund. Interview with the Administrator on 12/22/17 at 9:50 a.m. revealed that she was not aware of any issues with the resident trust fund until she reviewed the trial balance report requested by the surveyor. She stated that she expects a file to be maintained for each resident to include an appropriate authorization to handle the account and documentation of the method of sending the quarterly statement whether it was mailed or delivered in hand to the resident or family. |
