25 | **This document was amended on 11/13/24 at 9:00 AM to reflect updated findings following the Department granting an appeal. Some additional information has been added to this report as well as language removed that resident was financially abused by staff. **
Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Kevin Mknelly arrived unannounced to amend findings, originally delivered 6/20/24, that resulted from a complaint investigation at another of the licensee’s care homes. LPA met with Anita Heydon, and explained purpose of visit.
During the course of the Audit investigation, the Department reviewed bank records for accounts belonging to resident (R1), facility records, other records and conducted interviews. The department found that (R1) was always responsible for his own financial and medical decisions and paid the facility with his own checks for rent and reimbursement for items he requested. Although there were some charges made to (R1's) debit card that did not appear to be for (R1), such as gasoline for a vehicle, there was no evidence found that the facility financially abused (R1). Further review indicated that (R1's) rate was not increased at this facility. Based on this information, the citation issued 6/2024 for a deficiency for personal rights violation, was dismissed upon appeal.
Exit interview. Copy of report and appeal rights provided. |
