Summary
The facility failed to follow its policy and procedure regarding the inventory of personal effects for one resident at the time of admission. Specifically, the Inventory of Personal Effects (IPE) form for the resident, dated 4/10/25, was not signed by the resident or their representative, as required by facility policy. During an interview and record review, the Social Service Director confirmed that the IPE should have been signed to indicate that all belongings were properly inventoried upon admission. The facility's policy states that all resident personal items must be inventoried at admission and reviewed by the social services designee and the resident's representative, but this process was not completed as documented.
