32 | (S1) stated that the facility is not being defiant or refusing to provide (R1) with access to personal funds. The funds established by the facility are for any leftover money from (R1’s) (SSI) and Personal and Incidental (P&I) expenses, a term that (R1) does not understand. The management informed (R1) that a process exists: the Check Request form and the Payable Distribution Letter must be completed to distribute funds.
On May 11, 2026, between 12:00 PM and 12:15 PM, the Department interviewed a family member identified as Witness #1 (W1). (W1) stated that (W1) was not aware of any trust account in the name of (R1). Furthermore, W1 mentioned that when family members passed away over 30 years ago, there was no trust account for (R1) that (W1) was aware of.
A review of (R1’s) Admission Agreement (dated June 30, 2026), Identification and Emergency Information (dated 02/17/26), Medical Assessment LIC 602A (dated 12/30/25), and Resident Appraisal LIC 603A (dated 12/31/25) revealed that (R1) is self responsible but cannot manage their own financial resources. A copy of (R1’s) Record of Resident’s Safeguarded Cash Resources LIC 405 (dated 05/12/26) detailed the date, description, initial deposit, withdrawal, balance, signature, and transaction number, confirming that (R1) has a trust account with a positive balance. Further review of the facility's Check Request form (dated 05/12/26) and Payable Distribution Letter confirmed that the facility has a process in place that must be followed to access (R1's) finances.
Based on the information gathered, there is not enough evidence to support the allegation mentioned above.
Based on the information collected from the facility inspection, observations, interviews, and records analysis, the Department found no evidence to support the above allegation. The allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, the allegation is Unsubstantiated.
An exit interview was conducted with Anita Csukardi, and copies of the reports were provided.
