Failure to Complete Resident Property Inventory on Admission
Penalty
Summary
Facility staff failed to complete a Resident's Clothing and Possessions inventory form for one resident at the time of admission, despite facility policy requiring a written personal property inventory upon admission. The resident’s face sheet showed she was admitted on a specified date with a diagnosis of joint replacement surgery aftercare, and her MDS dated 2/19/2026 indicated intact cognition and a need for substantial/maximal assistance with ADLs such as bathing, dressing, and toileting. Review of the Resident's Clothing and Possessions form dated 11/6/2025 showed the form was blank, even though the facility’s Theft and Loss policy from 4/2013 required that a written personal property inventory be recorded when a resident is admitted. During interviews, CNA 1 stated that the resident did have clothing at the time of admission, confirming that belongings were present but not documented. The DON stated that the Resident's Clothing and Possessions form should not be left blank and that staff should have documented whether the resident had any belongings or not. The lack of documentation on the inventory form meant the resident’s clothing and other possessions were not recorded upon admission, and the report states this had the potential for the resident to have no recourse to recover clothing or other possessions that could be lost.
