The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to ensure staff followed their policy when they did not do a thorough investigation regarding a resident’s report of missing money.”
The resident was interviewed as part of an investigation and said that “the facility holds his/her personal funds and about three months ago he/she withdrew fifty dollars from her/his personal account.” The resident said that “he/she had staff put the money in his/her wallet and his/her purse. Three days after the withdrawal of funds, he/she discovered there was no money in his/her wallet; a total of sixty-seven dollars was missing.”
The resident stated that “he/she immediately reported to missing funds to the Social Services Director.” The Director said that they recalled the resident reporting that the money had been taken and interviewed the receptionist to “determine the date the resident withdrew the funds.” The Social Services Director knew that the resident had withdrawn fifty dollars.
An interview with a Charge Nurse and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) revealed that they were both “unaware that the resident had missing money [and that he/she] did not go through a thorough investigation of the missing money [and] did not interview other staff or ancillary staff and did not obtain written statements from the staff.”
The nursing home “failed to ensure staff followed professional standards of care when staff failed to obtain an order [from the Physician]; failed to obtain specific order for how many leaders of oxygen to administer, which affected three [residents].”
The facility “failed to use proper techniques when using a mechanical lift to transfer [three residents].” The staff “failed to use proper techniques to reduce the possibility of accidents and injuries during the use of a gait belt transfer for [a resident].”
The nursing home also failed to ensure that another resident “turned the portable oxygen off [before] going outside to smoke” to eliminate the possibility of experiencing burns, explosions, injuries, or potential death.
