Summary
The facility failed to notify six Medicaid recipients that their personal fund account balances exceeded the Medicaid resource limit by more than $200, as required. During a review of resident fund documentation, it was found that these residents all had account balances over $2,000. The Business Office Manager confirmed that no spend down notification letters had been sent to these residents, despite being aware of the excess balances and having the letters prepared but not distributed. This deficiency was identified through both record review and staff interview.
