8542 BROOKDALE ANDERSON 425398 311 SIMPSON RD ANDERSON SC 29621 2012-01-12 159 B 0 1 25JC11 On the days of the survey, based on interviews occurring during fund review, the facility failed to maintain resident funds in access of fifty dollars in an interest bearing account with written authorization. The findings included: During an interview with the Social Services Director on 1/12/12 , she revealed that she encouraged residents to not bring money to the facility. If the residents insisted, she would sometimes place their money in an envelope with their name on it and place the envelope in a locked box in her office. The residents did not sign/authorize for her to maintain their funds. When asked: Would you take $60.00 from a resident and keep it for them? The Director stated, I would strongly encourage them not to bring the money to the facility; but upon insistence by the resident, I would place it in the lock box. The Social Service Director stated she was unaware that resident funds amounts over $50.00 must be in an interest bearing account and that she did not maintain an accounting of funds held for the residents. In an earlier interview conducted on 1/12/12 with the Business Office Manager, she stated the facility did not keep any personal funds for residents. 2016-03-01
