8640	GOLDEN LIVINGCENTER - RIVERSIDE	515035	6500 MACCORKLE AVENUE SW	SAINT ALBANS	WV	25177	2011-08-17	152	D	0	1	5VE911	Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure the individuals making financial decisions for two (2) of three (3) sampled residents had the legal authority to do so. Review of Resident #11's financial file found a family member was being permitted to act as the resident's financial power of attorney in the absence of documentation to demonstrate this individual had the legal authority to do so. The physician appointed a health care surrogate (HCS) to make health care decisions on behalf of Resident #2, and the facility permitted this individual to also make financial decisions on behalf of the resident; such authority is not conferred by State law to a HCS. Facility census: 89. Findings include: a) Resident #11 Review of the financial file for Resident #11 revealed there was no documentation to indicate the individual making financial decisions on behalf of this resident who had the legal authority to do so. There was notice in the file by the facility, asking a family member to provide the necessary paperwork to prove they were the resident's financial power of attorney, but no such documentation had been supplied as yet. -- b) Resident #2 Review of the financial file for Resident #2 revealed he had been making his own financial decisions at the time of admission, but his status had changed such that he was no longer able to do so. The physician appointed a HCS to make health care decisions on behalf of the resident, but State law does not confer the authority to a HCS to also make financial decisions. -- c) The above concerns were discussed with Employee #29 (the business office manager) at 1:05 p.m. on 8/10/11.	2016-04-01
