Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident was able to access personal funds upon request, as required. Record review showed that the resident had moderate cognitive impairment. Multiple interviews revealed that the resident was frequently denied access to her funds due to the unavailability of cash, including a specific instance when she requested $50 and was told no cash was available. Staff interviews confirmed that there were times when no petty cash was available for resident requests, and that the resident had made multiple unfulfilled requests for cash. The administrator acknowledged that cash under $100 should be available to residents, but admitted that this was not always the case.
