Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure that the surety bond covered the ending balances in the resident trust account for four (4) of twelve (12) months reviewed. The facility handled a total of one-hundred and thirty-three (133) resident accounts. Findings include: Review of the surety bond revealed that it was in the amount of $100,000.00, and the effective date of the bond was 01/01/15 through 01/01/16. Review of resident trust account bank statements revealed that two accounts were used; one account received deposits and the other was used to write checks for liability and other expenses. The ending balances in both accounts were added together each month from (MONTH) of 2014 to (MONTH) of (YEAR), and in the following months the ending balance exceeded the surety bond limit: October 2014: $108, 922.04 December 2014: $113, 253.06 April (YEAR): $106,493.41 July (YEAR): $105,990.97 During interview with administrative employee MM, who handled the resident trust account, on 09/16/15 at 4:40 p.m., she stated that Social Security occasionally direct-deposited checks into the resident trust account twice in one month, and the facility only wrote resident liability checks once a month, and in those instances the ending balances in the trust account would exceed the surety bond limit. Upon further interview on 09/17/15 at 12:05 p.m., employee MM stated that because the trust fund balances exceeded the surety bond limit only a few times a year and for only a few days before liability checks were written and cleared, she did not feel that they needed to increase the bond limit. Review of trust account check images revealed checks did not clear to drop the balances below the surety bond limit until 01/15/15 for the excessive (MONTH) ending balance, and on 11/06/15 for the excessive (MONTH) ending balance. |
