Aspyre of Bronzeville: Resident Funds Withheld - IL
The resident, identified in the inspection report as R41, is a man with a kidney transplant and type 2 diabetes who has lived at the facility since July 2024. His cognition is fully intact. He started asking for his August allowance on August 1st, then again on August 2nd. He asked activity staff multiple times after that. The money did not come.
"It was very hard because he does not have any money at all," he told inspectors on September 2nd. He said he eventually told the facility he would report the situation to the state. Only then did the money appear. The receipt was dated August 27, nearly the end of the month.
The business manager, identified as V15, told inspectors the facility distributes personal funds between the 2nd and 5th of each month, with itemization handled by the corporate office. She acknowledged that if the money was available, it should have been given to the resident. When inspectors showed her records confirming R41 had enough of a balance to cover the $30 at the start of August, she said nothing.
The activity director, V18, handles the physical handoff of cash to residents. She said she gives money to residents as soon as the business office provides it. When told R41 received his August allowance on August 27, she said, "It's not that late."
Federal inspectors cited the facility for failing to maintain resident rights to timely access of personal funds, rating the harm as minimal but actual.
R41 had the money in his account. He asked for it. He was told no, repeatedly, for most of a month. He got it only after threatening to go to the state — which is exactly what he did.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
