21	BINGHAM MEMORIAL SKILLED NURSING & REHABILITATION	135007	98 POPLAR STREET	BLACKFOOT	ID	83221	2019-03-01	568	E	0	1	U2XH11	Based on facility policy review, staff interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure resident personal funds were maintained in separate accounts and quarterly statements were provided for 7 of 8 residents (#3, #4, #5, #10, #18, #20, and #37) whose personal funds were reviewed. The failure created the potential for harm if the residents or their representatives had concerns about their personal fund account, including inaccuracies, that were not addressed. Findings include: The facility's policy for transactions involving resident funds, dated 2/20/19, documented the following: * The facility will establish and maintain a system that assures a complete and separate accounting of each resident's personal funds. * Quarterly statements will be provided in writing to the resident, or the resident's representative, within 30 days after the end of the quarter and upon request. * The facility will ensure resident funds are not comingled with facility funds or funds of someone other than a resident. On 2/28/19 at 9:40 AM, the facility's Patient Financial Counselor, stated she did not manage residents' personal fund accounts. She stated CNA #1 provided resident transportation and managed the personal funds accounts for the residents. On 3/1/19 at 11:03 AM, during an interview with CNA #1, the Administrator, and the Patient Financial Counselor, CNA #1 reviewed current personal funds accounts. CNA #1 stated all the resident funds were in a single account with a local bank. CNA #1 provided a printout of a Trust Account Balance Sheet as of 3/1/19. The ledger identified current balances for Residents #3, #4, #5, #10, #18, #20, and #37. The Administrator stated the residents' money was in one interest bearing account. He said the interest generated from the account went into a Bingham Memorial Hospital account. The Administrator said the interest was then paid out to the individual residents. CNA #1 stated she had not sent out monthly or quarterly statements to residents or families, but she was only in the position a few months. The Administrator stated he did not know the last time statements were sent out. The Patient Financial Counselor stated three residents received statements in (MONTH) (YEAR). Prior to that, she was unsure. The Patient Financial Counselor attempted to find previous statements provided for the other residents. She said, I think it might have been back in (MONTH) of (YEAR).	2020-09-01
