amount but was told an approximation. W1 stated R1 was admitted into the hospital on 4/15/2025 and the safe was retrieved a couple of days later from the facility. W1 stated after having the money counted it appeared the safe was missing over half of the money. W1 stated the staff was financially abusing R1 by taking or receiving money from R1 during the time R1 resided at the facility. The LPA interviewed S1, S2, and S3. All stated they had no idea there was money in the safe. S2 stated R1 told her there were pictures in there. S2 also stated R1 would not let any one touch his belongings. The LPA tried to interview R1, but due R1’s diagnosis it was difficult to communicate. During interview with W2 LPA was told the exact amount of money in the safe was unknown. W2 did indicate that R1 handled his own finances. W2 stated he told W1 how much he thought was in the safe. W2 stated R1 had requested W2 to retrieve the safe and bring it to the facility soon after he moved into the facility. W2 stated he did not count the money only took pictures on 12/13/2023 (pictures submitted). W2 stated he knew for sure that R1 had used some of the money for rent, bought food, personal items, and had given W2 a certain amount for helping him.

Based upon the information obtained and the interviews conducted during the investigation, the above allegation is unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint is UNSUBSTANTIATED means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.

Exit interview conducted and a copy of report was given.
