Misappropriation of a client ' s property means a pattern of or deliberately misplacing, exploiting, or wrongfully using, either temporarily or permanently, a client ' s belongings or money without the client ' s consent. Section 25-1-124 (2)(f), C.R.S. Two elements needed: Deliberate misplacing, exploiting or wrongful use of a patient ' s or resident ' s property OR A pattern of misplacing, exploiting or wrongful use of a patient ' s or resident ' s property AND Patient/resident consent not given."2.

I had interpreted the reporting procedures in 6 CCR 1011-1,chapter 2 Part 4.2 as any Known misappropriation. Resident 1 had several external acquaintances helping with financials as well. As soon as the missing money was identified law enforcement, APS, and ombudsman were notified. From this day going forward all Suspected incidents involving the welfare and safety of our residents will be reported to the Occurrence Reporting website on the state portal. The Occurrence has been reported on the State Portal. No misappropriation has been identified. A policy has been created and signed by staff that states All resident request for any financial help must go through ED or BOM in the front office. This policy is now part of our S.O.PAny time financial help is provided we are putting it into our Electronic Observations on ECP. These records are maintained for a minimum of 3 years. All investigated occurrences will be maintained in the Med room Audit binder. RCC will follow up Weekley/sign ED will follow up / sign monthly

Based on observation, record review, and interview, the residence failed to ensure that smoking was prohibited in areas where oxygen was used, affecting 39 current residents. Specifically, Resident #3 and Resident #29 were roommates. Resident #3 was identified as smoking cigarettes in his room on 1/10 and 1/16/24. Resident #29 was on continuous oxygen for (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) COPD and asthma. Resident #29 had six unopened oxygen cylinders in his room. This failure created an immediate jeopardy risk of possible harm to all 39 current residents residing in the residence. On 1/17/24, the department directed the residence to provide written evidence that the risk had been removed. Findings include:1. Reference and Residence Policiesa. According to the Cleveland Clinic, "(Oxygen) can cause a fire to burn faster and stronger. The fire can become explosive. For everyone's safety, you should: Never smoke near an oxygen tank." Oxygen Therapy (6/6/22), retrieved from: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/23194-oxygen-therapyb. The residence's May 2022 Resident Agreement read, in part, "Responsibilities and Representations of the Resident ... to live in a peaceful way respecting the rights of others to comfort, safety, privacy, security and peaceful enjoyment and to refrain from all acts which would interfere with such rights ... The resident will be entitled to occupancy and exclusive use (unless shared) of the apartment shall be entitled to use, in common with other residents, the community facilities and common areas. Inside common areas and apartments will be maintained as smoke-free environments." c. The residence's House Rules, dated May 2022 read, in part, "The community is a smoke free environment. Smoking by residents, visitors, staff, volunteers and vendors is not allowed anywhere in the building including resident rooms. Designated places outdoors may be used ... Failure to abide by House Rules may result in the issuance of a discharge notice."2. ObservationsOn 1/17/24 at approximately 8:00 a.m., Resident #29 was lying in bed wearing an oxygen cannula. The oxygen cord was attached to a concentrator and was turned on. On 1/18/24 at approximately 8:45 a.m., Resident #29 was lying in bed wearing an oxygen cannula. The oxygen cord was attached to a concentrator and was turned on. The bathroom Resident #3 and #29 shared smelled like cigarette smoke. 3. Record ReviewResident #3 was admitted to the residence on 2/1/21 with diagnoses including vascular dementia and alcohol induced dementia. Progress notes in Resident #3's record for December 2023 and January 2024 revealed the following:On 1/6/24 staff observed Resident #3 smoking in his room. There were several plastic cups of water around the room that contained cigarette ashes. On 1/10/24 Resident #3 was observed smoking in his bathroom. Specifically the business office manager said, "I had a chat with him letting him know his roommate is on oxygen and he could not smoke in the building and he told me he is 76 years old and he will do whatever he wants."On 1/16/24 Resident #3 was observed smoking in his room on two different occasions. 4. InterviewsOn 1/17/24 at 7:50 a.m., Resident #7 stated Resident #3 smoked in his room and his roommate (Resident #29) was on oxygen. She added Resident #3 smoked the night prior to the onsite visit in his room. On 1/17/24 at approximately 8:00 a.m., Resident #11 stated Resident #3 had been smoking cigarettes in his room. On 1/17/24 at 8:05 a.m., Resident #29 stated he was on continuous oxygen for COPD and asthma. He added since he moved in the residence in the last week, Resident #3 had smoked cigarettes in the room with him present on five occasions.

On 1/17/2 at 10:40 a.m., Staff #9 stated a couple days prior to the onsite visit on 1/17/24 Resident #3 was observed smoking cigarettes in his room. On 1/17/24 at 2:24 p.m., the administrator stated she was aware Resident #3 had been smoking in his room with Resident #29 who was on oxygen. The administrator acknowledged Resident #3 was not allowed to smoke cigarettes in his room. On 1/18/24 at 11:56 a.m., the practitioner for Resident #3 said Resident #3 had alcohol induced dementia and stated because of his cognition he should not have cigarettes in his room and he would not know he is not allowed to smoke them in a room with his roommate who is on oxygen. 5. Immediate Jeopardy Risk - Written Evidence, Immediate Correction The investigation established that the findings above placed the 39 current residents at immediate jeopardy risk for serious harm or death in the event Resident #3 smoked his cigarette while Resident #29 wore his oxygen. The residence was directed to provide the department with written evidence that the risk had been removed. Part 3.16 of the Chapter VII regulations require residences to immediately correct the circumstances that gave rise to the immediate jeopardy situation. On 1/17/24 at 3:00 p.m., the administrator submitted written evidence that read in pertinent part: "All supervisors and staff will be provided with training on the smoking policy of the facility, which is only in designated areas (outside) ... We will be having a mandatory staff meeting at 1pm on the 25th of January to make sure all staff are trained and know their duties."However, the written evidence did not indicate the risk had been removed because it did not contain any specific plan of correction for Resident #3. On 1/17/24 at approximately 3:15 p.m., the administrator submitted additional written evidence that read in pertinent part: "(Resident #3) as of January 17, 2024, is no longer allowed to hold his own cigarettes. He must now come to the med room to get them distributed from the qmap (qualified medication administration person) one at a time, qmap is responsible for supervising (Resident #3) in making sure he only smokes in the smoking area."

Sample Resident #3 has passed as of 2-16-24 no further violations with him. We have held smoking policy staff meetings twice since state visit. Our Qmaps are checking the rooms of known violators daily. Write ups are being given to anyone who smokes in the building. We will continue to check rooms of smokers daily and record it in our observations in EMAR. Observations are kept for up to 5 years. All smokers have a big S on their electronic MAR that alerts all Qmaps and caregivers they are smokers. We have also ensured proper signage on all doors that have oxygen. We only have 2 residents currently on O2.

We have held a mandatory Qmap meeting to retrain Qmaps on importance of proper documentation. RCC is following up daily to ensure proper docs. We have held a partnership meeting with our house physician and pharmacy addressing this issue. We have created a board in the med room that has sections designated for popped pills that were destroyed. Each day the Qmap on duty is responsible for (clearing the board) including ordering single meds. Qmaps are not allowed to erase anything from the board. Every morning RCC or Administrator go in and verify that everything was entered into the system and faxed to pharmacy. All fax receipts and orders are maintained in a 3 ring binder. The binder is purged every 6 months. Once everything is verified management erases the board. Records are kept in retention for up to years.
