Summary
The facility failed to notify the appropriate individuals or probate jurisdiction of the personal funds held for two residents who received Medicaid benefits and expired while residing at the facility. Record review showed that the facility was holding funds for both residents at the time of their deaths, but was unable to provide evidence of the amount of funds being held. Additionally, there was no documentation that the facility conveyed the residents' funds or provided a final accounting of those funds within 30 days of the residents' deaths, as required by state law. During an interview, the Administrator confirmed that the funds were still being held and that no evidence of notification or final accounting could be provided.
