32 | Allegation: Facility financially abused resident
The department conducted file reviews and interviews. Staff #1 (S1) cashed Resident #1 (R1) Personal and Incidental funds and rent check received after R1 passed away. R1 did have a payee, who sent both checks to the facility for services that were not being provided for R1 since they had passed away. R1 passed away 07/20/2023 and both checks were dated in August 2023. S1 financially abused R1 for $1,460.82 ($116 + $1,344.82).
The first check dated 08/01/2023 for $116.00 made payable to R1 for “Personal Expenses” (P&I) was endorsed in R1’s name and cashed at the check cashing store that S1 stated they bring residents to cash their P&I at. The second check dated 08/02/2023 for $1,322.82 made payable to Glorious Care Home 1 and was identifies as “Rent.” The check was endorsed by S1 and deposited into their business bank account.
Based on file review and interviews, the facility sign and cash the checks after R1 had passed. Therefore the preponderance of evidenced standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, are being cited on the attached LIC9099D.
