13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Stephanie Williams made an unannounced visit to the facility in order to initiate a complaint investigation into the above allegation. LPA met with Administrator, Amy Aladin, and discussed the purpose of the visit. The investigation consisted of records review and interviews with staff and witnesses.
LPA interviewed Staff #1 (S1) who stated that shortly after learning of Resident #1 (R1's) death at the hospital, facility staff contacted the Social Security Administration (SSA) and notified them of R1's death. S1 stated that the SSA continued to pay the facility until May 2021 and all of those funds were given back to the SSA. S1 stated that the funds were not released to R1's family members and instead contacted SSA where R1 was receiving the funds from. According to S1, the SSA advised S1 to send the funds back and that family members should contact SSA directly in order to prove they are family. S1 stated that all funds have been refunded to SSA appropriately and the facility will continue to work with SSA as advised.
